[SM 5.1-new / OutFox LTS and Alpha V] DDR A3 Theme

I'm using the new 5.1 build that razorblade posted a few days back. Oh wait, yeah I probably didn't even clear Tohoku EVOLVED and all along I thought the script controlling the Pray for All message was in the ScreenGameplay out folder. Turns out it's in the 04 Other.lua file, which only makes a reference to "COVID" instead of its new name "Outbreak". Line 344 in that file should read:

if GetSong == "Tohoku EVOLVED" or GetSong == "COVID" or GetSong == "Outbreak" then

This will be helpful for those who have that simfile under its new name.

ooooh, that's explains quite a bit. I haven't updated my DDR XX pack since a good while . I'll update the file with the new name right now. Thanks for the heads up!

just curious, when will this theme support outfox again?

---

i believe that the new build its working fine (at least on my end), so you can use it with no major issue. The "partial support" it because some thing aren't working like it should (like scores, some lights, etc). but other than that is all working just fine

---

Is there Any way at all to change the colors of the song titles using this theme? I can't figure out how to do it if there is. For example, making Maxx 300 show up as red.

Hey, I know you guys are probably busy overhauling parts of this theme to fix Outfox compatibility but I found a glitch today and I'm not sure if it's StepMania related or theme related. This is on the 5.1 build that Razorblade posted a few weeks ago, at 0:55 I get a Marvelous and my combo turns green. I'm still awarded the PFC splash at the end and the gold circle on the results screen though.

---

Hey man, it is a little bug with SM, I got the same issue when I'm playing but the code of the combo it's the same as always. I'll try changing something but not making any promises.

We are back guys!! (Still busy tho lol)

THEME MAJOR UPDATE: 20220805 (v1.3b1* and v1.2)

Update highlights:

- Overhauled and changed all the textures for the official ones (v1.3b1*).
- Added virtually all the little fixed that we did after the last release.
- added Noteskins folder, there you will find some edit of Peter's DDR noteskins by yours truly
- Added a separated release for the upscaled version (v1.2) which contains the good old textures and, in additionm brand new silver upscaled textures made by Limen. Thank you so much <3.
- Updated the songlist for the Arcade Group options.
- added some new animations.
- added various "under the hood" optimizations.

*this is on beta because there's still some things left to make, such as the options background and the BGA itself.

you can download it from the same link on the first post.

Enjoy <3

PS: boy this was a hard one.

In addition to the noteskins updates, hope you guys like them and, if you find some bug or have any recomendations, please let me know and ill try to fixed as soon as i can. It's just an edit so its not that big of a deal but im really happy with the results.

Thanks again guys for all the support that this project has been getting. It really means a lot for us <3

Okay good to know. It's kinda crazy how we can play these games for years sometimes and never run into a bug like that. Thanks for the reply.

Just played a few songs and the new update feels and looks great, using the main github download not the release version.

As for recommendations, if it's not too much hassle, could you implement a toggle to change between arcade accurate speed mods and extra speed mods for the xX.25 and xX.75 speeds? Like on a certain song, x4 will be too slow, x4.5 will be too fast for me, and x4.25 would be nice to have. But I know some people just like having the same speed mods as the arcade so I think a toggle would be the best way to do it if possible. Other than that I love this theme, it's been my daily use theme since you guys released it.

see this! :@

This has happened to me on all the DDR A-based themes in SM5, and it happens exclusively on freeze arrows, so I think it must be something to do with how freeze arrows work in SM5 that's glitching up.

oh wow, that song wheel looks sick! how did you do it?! and please, if you wanna help with this theme send me or curilang a dm so we can be in touch

also you can add me on discord: SchneiderAFX#0181


you are absolutely right, i've trying to figure out this issue with Jousway, and it seems that the score system that we're using in this theme it's a bit (too) old, we'll try to get that sorted out with curilang so we can get a better score system with better compatibility, then again, if you want to help or if you have something you want to add and you know how to add it, please get in touch with me or curilang on PM or adding me on discord (check above).

Hello. I have not been playing ddr for too long, but this is definitely the coolest theme I have found for my Stepmania. thank you for making it.

I had a question though, I notice that the Blue version on my Stepmania has an animated background, but the Gold one is static. The electricity and stuff in the background is what I mean. I perfer the colors of the gold version, I was just wondering if it was a problem on my end, or if that's the way the theme is right now in general. Thankk you.

---

I'm pretty sure, I know the answer or maybe I can't find it in the theme. But I'm assuming there are only xmods right? no cmods or m-mods? I'm really enjoying the theme though! Thank you so much.

AFAIK, the Gold version animated background hasn't been optimized or not rendered quite right. Therefore, it may be a static image in the latest release.


No C or M-mods as this is supposed to be pretty arcade accurate.

---

I’ve asked about extra speed mods as a toggle a couple times. I’m not sure if they’ve seen it, I know they’re open to requests and have implemented requests in the past.

---

How do I set up extra stage and OMES in this theme? They work fine but default to 4 lives and sudden death respectively. I would like to add 1.5x and reverse to make it more accurate to the arcade but I can't figure out where to do that. Is it also possible to make it where certain songs are only selectable during the extra stage?

ES definitely doesn’t force x1.5 or reverse anymore, SN1 was the last arcade mix to do that. Not sure about OMES, does that even still exist? I only hear about ES now a days.

---

EES lasted up until DDR A. In both 2014 and A, you're required to PFC the song.

for some reason, the gold BG hasn't been leaked, only the silver BG, so that's why the static image for the time being. Of course the moment that the BG gets leaked, we'll change it ASAP.


we want to keep the theme as faithful to the original arcade as possible, there is a possibility that we add some option to add more speeds without changing the original amount, but its not a priority for now.

Also sorry for the lack of response, me and curilang are really busy with work lately (specially curilang), we still read your questions and request tho, so feel free to post them here and we'll see if it gets added.
