[THEMES] Takuya's Dance Dance Revolution Themes

[XohshitzTonysBackX]

You guys need to stop bothering this person. He or she has a life out of the internet too you know. IF you want um... a theme , the make it yourself or wait til they make one.

[TheFlyingSquirrel]

Also, either Grilo needs a little updating on what Takuya's working on, since there's never been any work on a STR!KE theme, or he needs a little updating on the most recent DDR console releases.

[Grilo]

i know what Takuya is workin on...and i know what the latest DDR releases are

i'm just sayin, i can't wait for the ddr extreme 2 theme thats all :P

[Manator]

No. It will never be out.

[TheFlyingSquirrel]

It will if SM4 RC1 comes out and Takuya finds the time to work on it.

Otherwise, the DDR EXTREME 2 theme will never be done.

One request if you ever start working on the theme again, though, Takuya: since dieKate88 won't do this theme, can you please make a smooth version, or at least no screenshot images and StepMania metrics?

The graphics have been ripped or are rippable, so it's possible.

Well mDaWg IS working on one but meh I can't wait.

Takuya will you use Select Difficulty effect? The one where challenge and nonstop jump up from the screen.
(If you've ever played SuperNOVA and scrolled down to All Music you know what I mean)

But seems that you haven't seen yet the latest DDR EXTREME release... because it has better graphics than katze extreme... and if you like the katze style, just replace my metrics with default ones and you'll get the most closer katze extreme like version using my theme graphics and animations (katze uses some little custom metrics, that's why I said "closer" and not "exact").

[Manator]

dieKatze told me he will only do the themes with full rips.

[TakuyaMAXX]

He told you bad, because his theme still had several images from Tamagokun's DDR Extreme theme (the first Extreme theme ever made) + some images from DarkTemplar's Extreme theme + Aj's DDR Extreme AC rips... but that's not the point...... I have to admit that his extreme theme is original and very different from mine

[chilean mode=ON]
Aunque la única cosa cierta es que el único que se ha dado el trabajo de reemplazar todas las imágenes y arreglar muchas métricas soy yo... pero a diferencia mía, katze no ha hecho eso con el suyo, así que no puede asegurar que su theme es full AC rips, por lo que katze extreme es todavía un híbrido entre gráficas viejas y los AC rips de AJ.

KatzeExtreme is a special case. I only work with rips now.

You're right , Ultramix seems that is done with X-Box graphics...

Impossible. The songwheel isnt possible with current stable versions of Stepmania.

I only had to recreate like 2 graphics for that theme, but those graphics were generated in real time by the Xbox, so there was no other way anyway.

Really Katze? I've not played the XBox versions of DDR and DS so I'm unsure on how the themes looked. I am curious by what you say about certain graphics being generated in real time. Could you tell me more?

Is this the reason why you haven't touched Ultramix/Unleashed Takuya, other than it being possible that ripping the graphics off XBox games proving to be difficult?

The actual lifebar frames, the black lines, are rendered in real time. because of this they arent rippable graphics, however anybody with a screenshot can EASILY recreate the graphic. the other graphic that needed recreated was the Light/Standard/Heavy frame on ScreenGameplay, as it was built in real time in pieces with tiling and fonts. as a result I had to rebuild that garbage too. Most of the rest of the graphics were ripped straight off the disc thanks to the efforts of Cybik.

I plan on adding Oni mode to that theme soon.
