[SM5] Looking for theme beta testers

Hi Z-i-V,

As the title of this thread suggests, I am looking for people to beta test my StepMania 5 theme and provide bug-reports and general feedback so that I can (hopefully) release the theme officially in two weeks or so. The theme is quite stable and more-or-less finalized, but I've only been able to test it on a few different computers/OSes/hardware setups so far.

If you'd like to try out this theme, you will need:
1. to be running StepMania 5 beta 3 (or a newer nightly build)
2. to be willing to write back to me via PM describing any problems you encounter or general thoughts you have within the next two weeks

I am especially seeking people who use StepMania in "Pump" or "Techno" game modes, and people who play course/marathon mode, but anyone is welcome.

Please make a post responding to this thread if you are interested and meet the above criteria. Thanks!

I Really would like to be a BT!

Yeah I have already update my Stepmania to Beta 3 also my SIMPLIFICATION Theme and I could test differents gametypes and gamemodes for send you any error/bugs...

So, I wanna test your theme!

I'd like to test! I've already updated, but just a quick question, could I use the theme to showcase an edit? Or should I switch to another one?

Like, for YouTube? Sure, that sounds okay.

I need to get some notes written on the theme/how to use it/what bugs I already know about/etc., for now, so I'll PM people who respond to this thread when that is done (soon). Thanks!

UPDATE (May 6, 2014):
My theme now relies on features/fixes that won't be available until SM5 beta 4, so this probably won't be publicly available for some time.

Still, I want to thank Th3_Ov3rHell_3XoduZ and soldierboi159 for doing some early beta-testing for me. They both found some very interesting bugs I hadn't caught; I've also fixed more than fifty(!) other minor bugs/things since that round of beta-testing. Expect a lean (about 3MB, zipped), clean (free of errors) theme whenever this does get released!

For the other themers out there, I am relying on this change (thanks, Kyzentun!) and this fix, both of which won't be readily available until beta4. Kyzentun's fix is really, really helpful for novice/intermediate themers. If anyone would like me to explain what it does and how to use it in your own theme, respond here, and I'll write up an explanation/tutorial with an example or two.

I'm ready to get this theme when it is ready(>_<).Feel very sorry that I can't be a beta tester because I cannot touch my PC often recently.

AHHH,and I'm guessing how it will looks like.I didn't see any screenshots of your theme(>_<).ALL I can do now is wondering(XD)and hope your theme will become popular.

I beta test if ya want I need a theme anyways lol

BTW I have a mac

As I mentioned in my second post, this theme now relies on features that aren't in SM5 beta 3. To use my theme, you'll need to either wait for SM5 beta 4 (no release date, yet) or build your own executable from source. Since you're on OS X, this would involve downloading XCode 4.6.3 from the Apple's Developer website, installing and configuring Git, cloning the SM5 GitHub repository to your computer, and then compiling.

tl;dr It's probably more hassle than you're interested in to use my theme right now. I offer my apologies about that.

oh okay i cant code .-.

Does the nightly builds of SM5 count?

EDIT: nvm

Hmmmm...I want to know what kind of features it needs that only available in Beta 4？

And I want to see some screenshots of this theme.Because beta 4's release may let me wait for a long time......I can't wait！(>_<)I'm a crazy theme collector.
