**AJ 187** · 02-11-2008, 04:02 PM

I am a dev at this point so when commit access is re-enabled I can add this to the main tree.

eVILPeeR · 02-13-2008, 06:59 PM

is this possible in 3.95 or only 4.0?

**AJ 187** · 02-13-2008, 07:18 PM

probably 4.0 only, I don't research shit for 3.95 (you know this, why did you ask?

)

How exactly? Was it a source code change?

The theme looks great! Awesome job on the interface!

**AJ 187** · 02-14-2008, 03:40 PM

Again, it's a testbed theme, it won't be released because there's little point in me releasing a "theme" I use for testing.

That being said, this technology may show up somewhere else.

ΩOMEGAΩ · 02-14-2008, 05:53 PM

this may very well make me download stepmania 4.

shakesoda · 02-14-2008, 06:11 PM

Why, it's not being released. Also you should download 4 anyways you have nothing to lose.

Azaman · 02-14-2008, 07:14 PM

LOL sorry not 3.9

3.9+ =D

my mistake =]

Xavious · 02-17-2008, 06:31 PM

This does indeed look orgasmic since it adds some very nice new theme possibilities and makes the possibility of a Universe theme that much more possible.

Now the only problem is that putting the 'ugly arial text' over the banners would really need the original stock images without the text to work. For that you'd probably need to make a custom Universe build from 4.0 with just the Universe banners and simfiles.

@Azaman: I'm sorry I haven't been able to help you recently. As I said I'm not very good at theming so I've been unable to do very little recently, however I'm glad that you've managed to get somewhere with your theme.
I have heard of 3.9+ but never really looked into it so I didn't know that customisations like the banner wheel were possible in it but that still doesn't ensure full compatibility with the current standard 3.9 build (unless there is a way round it). From my perspective, if 4.0 offers more promise for the Universe style then it may be worth looking into developing for that, however if you're getting along fine as you are then just ignore me and keep going.

**AJ 187** · 02-17-2008, 06:40 PM

Right, I just put the text there to show that it's possible to make your own TextBanner instead of using the built in one that's set in some Lua file in the Scripts dir (which requires you to either exit SM or reload the theme to get working), which is a pain in the ass.

p.s. in a comment that will likely go unnoticed, the wheel definition code has changed in sm4 again.

Azaman · 02-18-2008, 02:20 PM

@Xavious

Thats fine i still need to do a bit more graphic changes, menu music, a bit from the game play and most importantly the wheel. Which i have done the wheel before but cant remember the metrics. So if anyone is willing to help with the wheel that would be awsome.

I still can't get over the fact that there is now a banner wheel =]
