Default [Theme][SM4] NAKET Coder Evolution (not so incomplete this time)

If you've been following my exploits since their beginning in 2006, you know that every March 20th, something happens.
In 2006, it was the release of the very first NAKET.
In 2007, it was the release of NAKET Coder Revolution for 3.9, the first in the NAKET sub-series.

This year?


You'll notice I made a thread for this before, when I decided to give up on the theme since Synikal gave up on the community (in terms of actually making themes). I hate him for it but I decided that I need to finish this and shouldn't let my mentor leaving ruin it for everyone else.

That being said, this thing lacks a number of things, and if you know how to actually code SM4 themes in Lua, go right ahead. If you don't, then perhaps you may not know how complicated some of the things are (other choices were made by design).

* No Nonstop/Oni modes.
Blame Synikal's custom lifebar, which I couldn't 100% understand. This would've been a problem as it would've needed to be recoded for Oni (and maybe perhaps Nonstop? I dunno).

* No score, groove radar, panedisplay, etc.
Score may be addressed later, in terms of percentages.
Groove Radar is and always has been a pile of garbage to me.
PaneDisplay is really hard to work with and I did not feel like custom-coding one just for this theme.

I'd like to thank the NAKET Team:
myself, Synikal, Phosphorus, and Vacant Vagrant
as well as shakesoda and Lightning who have helped out with a bit of the theme.

Screenshots!

The title menu after some information goes away.


Select Toasty screen; we had a prototype of user-selectable toasties in NCRevo:BHL, but we learned, thanks to spinal shark (who studed DWI SM4), that it's possible to make a selection menu and allow users to choose Toasty in-game. Remember to follow the instructions that are thrown at you (hold F3, hit F6, then the number 7) to make sure the Toasty works.
We didn't test the theme as a SMZip, so if you try it and it doesn't seem to work, you will need to either extract it to its own folder in the themes dir or make a folder and a file:
Code:
Themes/NCEvo/BGAnimations/ScreenGameplay toasty/toasty.cfg

Select Style. Yes, we know that the 2P pads are weird with reflections; both shakesoda and myself attempted to fix them but I said that it didn't matter so much. They do kind of show what I wanted though; both the metal AND the panels would've been shiny, but 3D and StepMania are really weird together.


Select Music.

Never seen a wheel like this before, plus we made a bunch of new things that are superficial but IMO pretty cool. It's up to you to find them though! (Look at the details, hover over a song with an icon and watch, look closely at the highlight, things like that.)



Gameplay. One's from Jukebox, one's from me playing a song.


Eval. This picture DOESN'T show the SongOptions, but if you use them, they're in there, so now you won't have to take a picture of ScreenGameplay if you use a different music rate! We will add an option for displaying timings later, or the Future Port Squad may take care of it for the SVN port. Depends on who's handling it.

and the ever so important download:
http://smug.boxorroxors.net/ncevo/NCEvo_SM4CVS_v1.rar

Again, this only works on the January 3rd 2008 version of StepMania 4 CVS. It will not work on SVN builds, it MAY work on earlier builds but we don't support them, so if something goes wrong it will be on you first.

Nima is the best toasty that isn't Snorlax (who is the best toasty that isn't Dan Forden).

Hey I use this theme.

Great as per usual. The new features are a very nice touch and makes this theme really stand out.

No course play, but I'm not hurt over that.

1) Great theme, well worth downloading SM4 for.
2) Damn, what is that Music Wheel font? I love it!
3) I wonder how long it'll take before someone complains that it won't work on their 3.9...

Dude, this theme has replaced the Default theme on SM4 for me. I am using nothing else. It's just that good man, Thank you for putting so much time into this, it's paid off immensely.

we never stop working.

In this picture:


see if you can find the following:
* updated graphics for a number of elements
* a more useful fallback background that actually gives you information about the song instead of doing nothing. This idea will probably be carried over into the eval banner as well.

The NCEvo text above the song title is actually the banner; this is helpful for songs without a background but with a banner.

I've been using this in and out for the last week or so, and I must say it's a huge improvement over the default, and most of the themes for 3.9 (but you can't really count those here)

Although, i'm trying to figure out why online play isn't enabled, probably some technical reason behind that. And where are the speedmods at? I can't find out where to change them in any of the ini's like you can with the default theme.

You mean themes for 4?

Also the speed mods, if not defined in the theme itself, can usually be found in the default theme's metrics.ini.

No, I think he means themes for 3.9, which should make NAKET Coder quite proud to hear.
