Metrics Viewer?

PJAMA · 03-10-2007, 10:00 PM

I was wondering if anybody was making a metrics viewer for stepmania themes because i was planning on making a theme soon.

for example, if I were to display any theme in the metrics viewer, it would preview the metrics in graphic form on what the theme would look like after it's done.

Is anybody making one?

Get Edit Pad Pro, it will color some of hte code.

Note pad will open and let you view and edit the metrics

I think what hes talking about is like a two pane approach: Code on the left and then a mock of the screen on the right. So that would be a new level of badassness . . . . hmmm . . . this intrigues me.

how do i use edit pad pro to edit metrics? i have always edited metrics by the package exporter provided with stepmania because when i opened edit pad pro, the interface looked hard.

You type things, next to the equal signs...

Wow, this would be *incredibly* useful. Instead of opening SM to preview something, I could just use a handy program to do it instead.

I think something like this would be feasible. Just need to copy a lot of code from SM's metric programming.
