@TakuyaMAXX,

Regarding this one.



When I use the default theme of StepMania 3.9, the message does not appear.

When I use the default theme of StepMania 3.9 plus Redux, the message appears.

When I use your DDR X (Rev. 4.0) theme, this message appears.

This is just to inform you.

That also happened to me and I think there is no possible solution for that yet.

I get that message too.
For me, it's only on the first time you do Up+Down+Up+Down to get to the sort menu. The annoying part though is about half the time, even if you hit ignore, it will exit you to the main menu of the Stepmania.

So.... this will be the one millionth explanation about how to install my themes.

Every single release is a full complete theme, NOT AN UPGRADE. So if you attempt to install a newer release over an existing installation you will get those messages most of the time, because I edit the theme files once and again (like changing file names or using redir files instead of some deleted graphic file), that's why you get multimatched file names.

To fix your problem, Please do this:

TO UPGRADE ONE OF MY THEMES, YOU MUST DELETE THE PRIOR INSTALLATION AND MAKE A CLEAN INSTALL OF THE NEW VERSION.

I cannot get those graphics... so unless someone can get them ripped, they won't be part of any future theme version.

ask al2k4 at zenius-i-vanisher.com and look at the DDR X thread and go back a few pages to see the ripped graphics.

Cool

I can share this conversation with you guys, because there's a detailed explanation of the sort problem:

It's not a coincidence.... is a fact!

Every single release involves the edition of some graphics. Sometimes I delete a graphic file and replace it with a redir file.... and sometimes I change my mind and get some of those graphics back and the redir files get deleted in the process, but you must know that this process occur over random files (most of them relative to the screen select music).

This issue cannot be fixed, because I always change ramdom files, producing the duplicate file effect when updating the theme.

This issue was discovered long time ago... maybe december of 2003 or january of 2004... Due to the amount of people that was complaining for the duplicated file error, I had to do something about it and that was exactly what I did, first downloading the theme and its updates and then installing it in the release date order....and.... surprise!!.... duplicated files were found and I had to make a full version of the theme including all the updates.

Unless I have learned about that problem, nothing is gonna change and I can assure you that this kind of issues will happen once and again.

PD:
The released themes were packed from the latest tested build and the inconsistences found between versions are something natural.

That's why I only make full releases and not patches or update packs, even if they're betas.

DDRMAX2 FOR STEPMANIA 4 WIP


DDRMAX2 WIP: Aug 07, 2009
This day, exactly 6 years ago I was born as themer with this theme for StepMania 3.9 Alpha 4.

Now I'm repeating the formula and I hope to get a perfect working DDRMAX2 and Extreme themes during the next months. The picture is just a preview of my work, only because I want to share it with you guys.

I hope this lines will help to bring you some future expectatives.... see you...

Takuya XD

This I must say is an great start. Can't wait for the Extreme remake
Are you planning to make noteskins as well? Cause I find 4.0 has a bad noteskin selection. Especially when looking for replica DDR arrows

Takuya... I must say that the duplicate file error happens even with a fresh new copy of Rev4:

MusicSortDisplay sort list.png vs MusicSortDisplay sort.png
_____________

Oh, and another little thing... In my opinion, there are two MusicSortDisplay images that are wrong...

MusicSortDisplay sort list.png ("Series Title") -> MusicSortDisplay group.png
MusicSortDisplay genre.png ("Dance Level") -> MusicSortDisplay top grade.png

Default Hey!

Hello all!

Back to playing DDR once again

Takuya, do you think anyone will have source code for 3d dancing stages for you dancing character to dance on like in DDR SuperNOVA 1 and 2? That would be badass...
