DDR X2 CS Theme ver2.1 for SM 3.9a, SM 3.9 Plus REDUX and SM AMX

Silly, Is it posible that you can agree more voices for "DDR X announcer" ?

---

it's possible since in DDRX2, it's a mixture of DDRX1 and X2 announcers... but in my last DDRX2 announcer upload, it contains mostly some that are new to DDRX2 (except for stage screen sound files).

anyway, here are the images in development (the first two are what i'm doing now):

- updated difficulty meter bar from 10 to 18 max.
- updated sort images
- "rolling" number animation in scoredisplay at evaluation screen as in original version
- updated animation in some images.
- etc.

I think in SM4 but not in 3.9.

Can I Port This Theme To SM 3.95/Open In The Groove

For the meter bar, is it possible to make it like the actual X meter? (That would be the first ten in yellow, then the next 10 overlapping in red.)

No, it is not possible to replicate the actual X difficulty meter in 3.9+. That's the best that can be done.

---

I personally would want the current meter as is than to incease the number of tallies. There's also a slight chance a 19 footer might come out in X2 AC but you can always update it. The last screenshot....dancers!? =o

It's a background video.

---

Why not extend it to 20 instead of an 18?

I'm sure Konami will go past 18 someday.

---

I think they are reluctant to because they fear having to adjust the rating system again if they jump into a level 19 this quickly. It makes sense, although I still wish they just extended the rating system rather then rework the whole thing. It would of given them much more leeway. Oh well, that argument topic has already been discussed long ago

---

No.

---Theme Update:---

DDR X2 Theme ver.1.0 is now available for download:

[link removed at request at author]

I repeat, this theme is best suited to be used for Stepmania 3.9 patched with Plus REDUX only due to the new added animations found in the Stage Evaluation screen. The scores now have "roulette animation" (except for judgment scores, of course) similar to DDRX2 CS.

This theme is now made for arcade specific function so you will notice while in Select Mode Screen, Tutorial and Endless Mode are now gone but Endless Mode is now transferred to Title Menu Screen.

- fixed graphical bugs in Select Style screen found while "inserting coin" during Caution Screen and Select Style screen.
- fixed bug not displaying Player Options screen while in Select Course screen (Challenge/Oni)
- improved image animation
- updated the way displaying the sort. Pressing menuleft+menuright will display the sort menu list. The menuUp+menuDown function is now disabled , sort images were also updated.
- any Stage screen under any course mode now display cardinal numbers just like in regular mode (1st Stage, 2nd Stage etc.)
- max difficulty meter display icon changed from 10 to 18.
- added customized Ranking screen and of course, the Name Entry screen
- New BG images and audio in Music scroll ending screen. New audio also in Ending screen after ES/EES stage passed.
- disabled Mode switcher and hide display.
- Updated images in Rave mode (Battle) and Course mode gameplay screens.
- In Event Mode, the stage display now display as cardinal numbers (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.) instead of Event image.
- Marvelous judgment display in Gameplay screen now blinks (as opposed to original CS version)
- added Select Game Mode in Title Menu (Dance/PIU)
- Updated BG display images in other title menu list screens
- score displays in Stage Evaluation screens now have "roulette animation"


DDR X2 Announcer and DDR X2 RandomMovies (One character per movie) also available in the first post. at first page.

To permanently display ONE character BG movies in every gameplay screen:
- create a copy of Stepmania.ini (found in Stepmania/Data folder) to the same folder
- rename the duplicate copy to Static.ini
- open Static.ini with notepad. Delete all contents then copy and paste below:

[Options]
numbackgrounds=1


- save the file.

is it possible to change the "Edit Data" difficulty to be changed to "Options"?
alongside with that, can the "Edit Data" difficulties be transferred to an "Edit Data Folder"?

also, there's an error in the game when you turn off the "Event Mode"

instead of the "Single" image showing up when I select "Single Mode", the "Versus" image shows up, but it becomes normal when you select "Single Mode" again

---

I assume you are using the v.0.9 theme. Those graphical bugs were fixed in v.1.0 just uploaded 3 days ago. Download the latest update at the first post (at first page) or just above your last post..

---

Why the "Select Game" is the Option one ? And why when i'm playing alone, the second player have the option icon ? xD

---

Select Game menu will choose you between Game Type: Dance or PIU just like in the default Stepmania theme. For the second question, maybe you are using noteskins other than VIVID, RAINBOW, FLAT and NOTE. If you are using the v.0.9 and below, i suggest to update it to v.1.0. in the first post.

---

I updated to 1.0 that's why i'm saying that.

---

do you have noteskins other than original noteskin names listed above?

---

Hmmm no i'm using the normal noteskin

---

ok... as for the Select Game screen, it should takes you to the game type but i just observed that it goes to options screen like just what you pointed out. Uploading a temporary metric file to fix this bug.


Edit: here is a temporary patch to DDRX2 theme v1.0

[link removed at request at author]

put that file to your DDRX2 Theme folder (v1.0)

aside from Select Game menu bug, it will also fixes the difficulty display in Screen Evaluation Endless Mode, where the left part of the difficulty image is not cropped.
