MAKE SURE YOU READ THE README FILES AND CRAP LIKE THAT, THEY ARE IMPORTANT.

This build is a bit buggy, sorry about that. I will be posting bugfixes for anything possible (things like graphic errors, options missing things, etc).

For most of you [build it runs on and theme]:

Windows - http://www.shakesoda.com/svn/SM4SVN-20080621-Windows.7z
Linux - http://www.shakesoda.com/svn/SM4SVN-20080621-Linux.7z
Mac (intel) - http://www.shakesoda.com/svn/SM4SVN-20080621-Mac.7z

You will need a recent WinRAR, 7zip, or 7zX to extract these, Google it.

For those who already have the 2008-06-21 build: http://www.shakesoda.com/svn/Optical.7z

DO NOT ASK IF THE THEME IS INCLUDED I SWEAR TO GOD. IT IS

Known Bugs:
- A lot of little errors like graphics the wrong size and missing options text. (sorry, will release an update to fix these soon).
- Intro sequence is stupid.
- Select Style = ruined.
- Crashes when switching themes and modes, annoying but they work after you restart SM (SM PROBLEM, NOT ME).
- DEFAULT THEME IS IN SHAMBLES.
- SMO isn't fully done yet, so some things are a bit screwy or left default.

Sexy.

Also:

I still miss that songwheel btw ;<

Any chance of adding some option in-game that allows us to switch between the two?

And it still holds that I think there is something missing on the left side of the screen. Not too much though, just something small.

Also 10bux if you make some awesome "Stormy Extra Stage" like from HS.

I'll try to get something like the old musicwheel going again, but since the musicwheel works completely different now it's going to take a different method (I've got an idea, and it should be smoother).

Don't expect a selector for it though.

Also I'm working on the extra stage stuff still. As for the large gap you and everyone else complains about, I'm not putting something there because it won't fit in 4:3.

How come the default theme doesn't work?

sharksoda · 06-25-2008, 09:19 PM

because it's not done.

hydrar · 06-25-2008, 11:59 PM

ahhhhhh i see. Opitcal is deadliness

AceJay · 06-26-2008, 02:44 AM

Oh, what I meant by the Red lines was the alignment between the Selected song and banner is un-centered on this version.

sharksoda · 06-26-2008, 04:42 AM

Making the banner centered is no problem, I might as well do that.

sharksoda · 06-29-2008, 05:21 PM

bumping this so that people see it (pay more attention to releases)

two little things:

1.-

Why sometimes the font is white, without a black border?

2.- I was picking songs, and for some reason the difficulty indicator (Heavy/Medium/etc) didn't appear. I brought the menu (with Select) and chose the Heavy difficulty. Then I changed to another song and the indicator disappeared again D:
I chose a song, and SM crashed.
The crashinfo.txt is TOO big (32000+ chars) so I pastie'd it: #226408 - Pastie

1) AJ hit the nail on the head there, it was an SM bug and is now fixed.

2) That seems to be an issue when switching modes, I don't know why it happens but restarting the game solves it.

I'm going to have a better look at it to see if I can do anything.
