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

I don't exactly know how to do that, I use GuideLines "by default" (SM config)

---

I noticed a small issue. When the theme is enabled, Good's do not break combos, but in Outfox the notes don't disappear. The Outfox setting is HIDENOTE JUDGEMENT, which is TNS_W3 by default and needs to be set to TNS_W4 in order to display properly. This can be changed in settings, but since it's not in the theme's menus you have to disable the theme, change the setting, and then re-enable.

Thanks for reporting this! We're going to check that.

I noticed a possible issue with this theme's results screen. If this is the A3 theme that yuisin uses in their videos, then the O.K. count and EX Score calculations may be incorrect.

Yuisin video for Starlight in the Snow CDP: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P52y2xubdmQ

あお video for Starlight in the Snow CDP on a cab: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzHq31M6ynE
Results screen: https://i.ibb.co/jLCKKsw/Capture2.png

The O.K. count in the theme counts the number of hold arrows exactly (26). The cab counts the lines that have one or more hold arrows starts (21) and adds the total shock arrows dodged (71) for a total of 92. The EX Score is off as well because it adds the O.K. judgements and steps by judgment. The yuisin video has a max EX Score of 1353, which is below the real total of 1551 in あお's video if you account for Perfects adding 2 instead of 3.

I think this is a StepMania issue. Shock Arrows don't exist, they're mines and the noteskin makes them look like Shock Arrows. Mines don't add to combo or grant "O.K.!" like a Freeze does. Also, I'm like 99% sure a jump Freeze in DDR is one "O.K.!" but in StepMania it's two. So you will see a lot of inconsistency from DDR to StepMania around the "O.K.!" judgment and I don't think there is much to be done, a custom scoring.lua file can only do so much and this really boils down to StepMania being a different game being themed to look as much like DDR as possible.

---

Not exactly, StepMania doesn't have Mines Counts to Judgements so, I think mines in StepMania with ShockArrows NoteSkins are just for fun.

---

That's exactly what I just described, though. How is that not a StepMania issue? You can't fix that in the theme, so it's a difference between StepMania and DDR.

---

I had a question but im not sure if this is the right place to ask, i look at the ensiso characters and DS download links and says that the las upload include SN DanceStages but there not showing when i check the content, someone knows where can i download and if is compatible with sm 5.1?

By the wayi had a problem with stepmania 5.1, when i try to play any song the game close and shows an error saying that i can't find "F river.txt" and "M world1.txt" but when i check the DanceRepo" those archives are there.

Everytime I play a song, for some odd reason the speed modifier comes up and I didn’t even adjust it and every time I hit left and right, it adjusts the speed modifier. Please help.

This is addressed in the first post.

Any plans about to make the DDR WORLD theme?

haha the A3 one is not completely finished yet and they are already asking for DDRW

And also deleted my 3.9+ REDUX theme, due to support ended.

---

Great work on this theme to all those involved! I recently switched from Stepmania 3.9 with the Supernova 2 theme to this one and I don't see myself going back. Took me a bit to adjust and learn the buttons/menus but the theme is smooth, looks great and I am looking forward to recreating the arcade style on my LTEK pad.

Edit: Ignore me. Just realized I wasn't on LTS but on the pre release

-----

Every time I pick a song with this theme installed on OutFox the game crashes. I'm on Ubuntu 24.04 if that makes a difference.

Here's a crash log. The only error in the theme log is that it can't find OptoinRowLanguage.cfg but that file exists and has the text "en" in it.

Curilang just curious are you gonna retire this theme or add a final patch or will it be looked over in future. Because things I would like to see is beat bars being separated the player 1 and 2. Also an animation where beat bars disappear along side the screenfilter. Just very small animation tweaks nothing drastic. I did rework the announcer with this code to make it play more like Ace in Screen Gameplay Overlay local t = Def.ActorFrame{}
local soundPlaying = false
local lastComboMilestonePlayed = 0
local lastCheeringComboPlayed = 0
local lastTimeMilestonePlayed = 0
local comboCooldown = 5 -- Cooldown period for combo milestones
local cheeringCooldown = 5 -- Cooldown period for cheering
local firstBPMComboPlayed = false -- Flag to ensure the first BPM-based milestone is a combo
