Thank you for support. The end of the SD theming is here. All themes are designed for SM 3.9+ REDUX or AMX. I was work hard in create the themes, fixing bugs, splitting songs, updating content, etc.. StepMania 3.9 and variants have many limitations that I cannot fix. Also, all videos only supports 4:3 format and MPG or AVI files, this last only supports MJPG, DivX and XviD. SM5 and later support other formats. Due to this, and other limitations, the theming for SM 3.9 and variants ends here.

Thank you for download and install my DDR A-based themes.

Is there anyway to cast the options menú with the 3 buttons layout?

---

It's possible, but enter to gameplay instead of return to song list, due to old 3.9 engine (Holding START or hitting START twice).

In stepmania.ini:

Switch this to 1.

oh thanks a lot.
But I was looking to change it on the stepmania 5 theme

thanks a lot!

There's two ways (technically three) of going about this.
1: Custom Music Wheel and Select Music Screen

2a: Hijack all inputs from the built in input handling on select music using input redirection and use various commands and if statements to have the game habdle things how it should be. (Clean method without custom screens)

2b: Set up an input handler on select music and utilize twopartselect to prevent the game from moving on to stage info when the start button is pressed (How I currently have the options menu popping up on my DDR X theme.

I've been doing like 2a in all my themes eversince but i treat all assets of player and sort options as music select subscreens instead of having them made separately, hence, difficulty and player options textures can pass below the song info textures in music select as seen in my DDR A theme.

I see.
But im a begginer in all of this.
Which folder, or files, Do I need to change and in what way for examole for the ddr A20 theme for stepmania 5?,
Thanks a lot for your help

You program it yourself. Nobody is going to convert it for you.

If you dont mind me asking, how do you handle opening and closing sections and having the game transition to stage info cleanly?

I know how to open a section but no idea how to close it and I'm unable to get a clean transition using screen messages

I made recorded videos of each stage minus the jacket, bottom side text and the score frame/text for Stage Info screen. You need to edit the images inside the arc files to blank for recording use. The same also I did for How To Play video.

And for the answer, I used Sony Vegas(for getting the time tween distance/delay between animation)/PShop(for getting the texture coordinate and distance) to get their animation.

The shutter "door" textures (blue, red, pink, gray) should be put inside a sprite and call them using conditional statements.

I meant for the handling to transition to stage info, not the animations but that helps too I guess

You do it during Music Select tween out before the next screen via lua (or when you broadcast the NextScreen to Stage Info)

Wow. This sounds rude.
Im just asking for help because i dont have the knowledge to do it.
If I bother somebody with This, my apologies
I just wanna to use the theme in my private cabinet. Thats all

Thanks a lot!

The delivery of the statement was cold, but the idea is accurate. This is a 3.9+ Redux theme. Converting it to SM5 would be a very intensive process as it would require a complete rebuild from scratch. It would be better to update the A theme for SM5, which has been done (look in the DDR A SM5 thread, it might be in one of the A20 videos though).

No, I mean, I was looking to change the options menú behavior in the sm5 theme, not porting the 3.9 one hehe
Thanks anyway!! Guess ill need to install a button in my cabinet
