Quick theming question - Page 2

Errr ok... i use SM 3.9 XD.

I can see there's no way to change it -.-, thank you guys ^^

BTW here's an another question:

I have random movies for all songs in stepmania activated. Ok, my intention is to convert my PC in a DDR SuperNOVA arcade (ok, not to 100% XD, stepmania isn't not really perfect), but i have the announcer, the takuya DDRSN Theme, and DDRSN Arrows.

Question is next:

When you begin to play, static background with some paint and title song (this is not new XD) appears on screen. When you press the 1st arrow, or pass a few seconds, background dissapear and videos are playing.

I see in the arcade (PS2 Version too), in DDRSN, when a song starts, it have no background. It starts with the video.

It's possible to do this in stepmania ? (i ask very much

)

Thank you for your time ! ^^

This is really more of an SM question than a theming one, but...

That's a matter of how the song itself is set up. SM waits until the first arrow to display any random animation. This doesn't change with the theme - it's written into StepMania itself.

You can edit the song in the SM editor and add a "-random-" animation at the first beat you want it to show up, and it *should* cycle randomly between videos/animations/whatever like normal, showing a new one ever 2 measures. One of my files has the code in its readme to do this -- the -random- is forced at some points to deal with a stop (scroll freeze) that throw the 2-measure cycle off -- and it works just fine.

Unfortunately, you'll have to do this for every song you want to fix. Sorry.

On the title screen (as pictured), the option "NORMAL Mode" is in white, and all the rest of the options are green. (I'm not referring to the glow of the cursor, when I leave the normal mode option it's still white.)

I was wondering if someone could point me to where in the metrics I change the colour of the options. I'd prefer them to be all white/grey anyways.

I thought it would be:

[ScreenTitleMenu]
ChoicesStartY=320
ChoicesX=320
ColorNotSelected=#EEEEEE
ColorSelected=#FFFFFF

Sorry, that's broken in regular 3.9; you need to use 3.9+ or higher.

Alright, Thanks AJ

EDITED: Stupid question....

andrewseburn · 12-13-2007, 12:32 PM

I am trying to figure out what metrics code makes the labels on the left ORANGE coloured when not selected (and green when selected)

Any ideas?

**AJ 187** · 12-13-2007, 07:50 PM

There's no metric option, the font's color is baked into the graphic (check _sharedOP 16x16.png for proof).

Yup. The solution would be edit the font file and recolor it to white. Then, you could change the color manually in the metrics (I s'pose)

Hmm.. I seem to have locked myself out of ScreenSelectCourseNonstop.

When I try to select nonstop mode, I immediately am kicked out of SM. No crash window, no nothing. Just closes.

I haven't worked on it in a while, so I don't know what I changed to have it screw up. This has probably been around for a while now 'cause I haven't touched nonstop mode much - it's just been falling back to ScreenSelectMusic for the most part.

Any ideas on this phenomenon?

No one has an idea on this?

Did you try looking at the log (log.txt) ?

Quick question... but first the idea:

For example, in Takuya's Party Collection:

There it says "MAX / 03", while 03 is supposed to be the number of stages... if one sets it to anything else, that value is completely pointless

The idea is to achieve something like this...

The question: Is it possible to "ask" SM the number of songs per credit, in ScreenSelectStyle?
