[THEMES] Takuya's Dance Dance Revolution Themes

[AJ 187]

SuperNOVA is a PS2-based system, or at least most reports show.

Demos/Betas maybe ran on the PC-based hardware, but not the final afaik.

i just wanna know if you would make a supernova theme too, Takuya?

[TakuyaMAXX]

AJ, you're right about DDR SuperNOVA HW....
About the possibilities to make a SuperNOVA theme chiichan, it only going to happen when I could have images (from AC or PS2), and the PS2 game disk to know the behaviour of the game for metrics purposes.

[chiichan]

i see, so you're also interested. glad to hear that! i'll be expecting to see this as one of your upcomming projects
thanks thanks thanks!

You want a new Style?... here's a new DDR EXTREME release!!

DDR EXTREME Rev 5.0 (Designed for StepMania 3.9)
Sep 24, 2006: Rev 5.0
The best Select Style Screen ever seen on StepMania (I mean, the AC like one).
Beware or Katze themes are light years far from this, and you will notice the improvement from the first time.
A little thing about this screen:
When you join the other player in a single player style, it should change to versus.
That's what happen, but the warning icon should disappear inmediatly and that occur on my theme and no other in the world.
The same produce some non perceptible issues for Joint premium and doubles mode... but nothing very noticeable.
This release is updated with The new Select Style Arcade like Screen.

Takuya20: PS2 Image extraction (via snapshots and from the disk), animation, art and metrics work.
DDR EXTREME Arcade Rips: AJ 187
Only Fonts: Pimpmaul, Spigumus, Tamagokun, PatrickDDRX, Takuya20.
Developed by Takuya20.

Download it here !!

No that should happen in my theme too, if it doesnt, its a bug, and someone should report it.

Not exactly Katze, because that isn't a StepMania or DDR common feature... it occurs in arcades and you have some luck if that display looks obvious for you (isn't that obvious as I sound in the previous post). Katze extreme or PC are no arcade focussed, but Beware's simulation is.

Well, finally I found the correct algorithm to solve the pad issue thing using StepMania normal build with no mods... that took me several months and tonight I was able to find the bug produced by my old method (never used in themes, because it produces StepMania to crash); after that, StepMania does exactly what I want and the spected thing never happened: the crash.

Now I'm working to find other metrics solutions for some problems listed on my personal book, but do not embrase many hopes for requested things that seems to not work on StepMania, because they could never work or work ages before it was asked (like happened with Select Style Screen).

Select Style Screen will be used too for DDRMAX2 and Dancing Stage themes to finally make that screen work as desired... and the most impportant thing is to make the style icon selection appear in colour.

@Takuya
You should have looked at others' theme codes. Should have saved you a lot of time.
I already used the numiconparts since pre-October last year.

I'm glad you cracked it though. Didn't even know about the warning thingy. (I always press the start button simultaneously )

[TakuyaMAXX]

You're right Takeru... it save a lot of time.
DDR EXTREME
There's some fatal bugs on that screen when you play using 2P to enter rave and endless. They are already fixed and deleted a lot of redundant files (replaced with redir files), the character for 2P was corrected (some confussion makes me pick the versus girl instead of the single one)... if I get some time during tomorrow, I'll upload a 6.0 with all that done. I forgot to mention in 5.0 that the options font was reduced for best fit.

Looks like the film strip bgvids might be random. (Never got OMES on AC, ever!)

uh hey takuya. did you know that when you use the extreme theme the Announcer for one of the area doesn't work no matter which ones i used you made. it happens mostly on the style select screen and the result screen. >.> i wondering has anyone have been noticing it also?

That's because the themes use custom screen names. The announcer filenames must match the screen names.

mnn.. thanks for pointing that out i'll see if i can look through them and change them
