GrooveGraph questions

[snakerbot]

I am working on editing a theme for stepmania 3.95 cvs, and I want it to show the air, voltage, chaos, etc. but there is not enough room to fit the grooveradar. I wanted to have it display the values like a bar graph, and the groovegraph does that, but with a few problems.

One, it only seems to show the bars starting at the bottom and pointing up. I want them to start at the side and face horizontally.

Also, all the bars are wedge-shaped and I want them to be shaped like rectangles.

Finally, it will let there be a different color for every difficulty, but as far as I can tell, not for player 1 and player 2.

The bonus results at the end of the song would also work, because they show the max value for each category as well as how much you got on the song, but I only need the max values to apppear. The problem with this is that I don't think Stepmania will show the bonus at the song selection screen.

If anyone could tell me how to do either of these, that would be greatly appreciated.

Well, you can tell the graph to rotatez,90; so that it points the other way.

Thanks a lot laser123454321! The graph shows up now, but I have another problem. All the bars extend forever off the right side of the screen. In the metrics I tried changing the edgewidth, but none of the values I put there seemed to do anything. Am I changing the right value?

Post that part of the metrics and i can tell you what to change.

[GrooveGraph]
AirX=40
BeginnerColor=1,0,0,1
ChallengeColor=1,0,0,1
ChaosX=20
EasyColor=1,0,0,1
EdgeWidth=-90
EditColor=1,0,0,1
FreezeX=0
HardColor=1,0,0,1
MediumColor=1,0,0,1
MountainHeight=100
MountainWidth=20
MountainsBaseY=0
ShowAir=1
ShowChaos=1
ShowFreeze=1
ShowStream=1
ShowVoltage=1
StreamX=-20
VoltageX=-40

[ScreenSelectMusic]
GraphOffCommand=
GraphOnCommand=RotationZ,90
GraphX=SCREEN_CENTER_X-15
GraphY=SCREEN_CENTER_Y+80
ShowGraph=1

That's everything in the metrics relating to the graph.

MountainHeight is what's causing it to go off the screen.

since you rotated it +/-90 degrees, all width adjustments now affect the vertical size of it and all height adjustments affect the horizontal size of it.

well not really see the thing is that when you apply the on command thats an init command. I will edit this with the correct metrics.

EDIT: yeah, i gave up. It does not want to work, sorry.

I fooled around with it a little more, hoping to stumble onto the right settings, and I did. Almost. mountainheight=.4 set them about the right height, but now they won't change based on difficulty, only song. I also am not sure how much I really trust what they say, as there is apparently no relation between the amout of freezes (easiest to check) and how much any of the bars moved.

[laser123454321]

you have to have them set at different colors to see.

It displays them all at the same time.

I'm beginning to think that 3.95 cvs just has bad support for the groovegraph. It's certainly not the only thing it has bad support for. Anyway, I changed the colors, but now all the bars are white. Here are the metrics if anyone wants to take a look at them.

[GrooveGraph]
AirX=-40
BeginnerColor=.7,.6,1,1
ChallengeColor=0,0.9,1,1
ChaosX=-20
EasyColor=0.2,1,0.2,1
EdgeWidth=0
EditColor=0.8,0.8,0.8,1
FreezeX=0
HardColor=1,0,0.2,1
MediumColor=0.9,0.9,0,1
MountainHeight=.3
MountainWidth=20
MountainsBaseY=0
ShowAir=1
ShowChaos=1
ShowFreeze=1
ShowStream=1
ShowVoltage=1
StreamX=20
VoltageX=40

I got the color values from a theme for sm 3.9, so there is the possibility that they are set up differently and that is causing it to mess up, but I don't know what the numbers mean so I can't say for sure.
