Decided to try to fix some things that were broke, but I just can't seem to find the right variable in the metrics file. I currently have 3 "unsolvable" problems.
1. Move the text on the music wheel left.
2. Remove the "FailEndOfSong"
3. You can see that top of the graphic missing on the lower-righthand corner. That's in the default theme too.
Tried changing: Quote:
[WheelItemBase]
TextOnCommand=
TextX=0
TextY=0
| and Quote:
[MusicWheelItem]
SongNameX=-30
SongNameY=0
| But so far nothing.

the second one, I know it's a metrics command, but I can't find it anywhere in the 4.0 metrics.
the third one, I don't recall what that was, but I think it should be fixed in the next CVS. | |

Edit: HAHA, Event was hidden under the banner box, can I fix that?

you may be able to get some help from the devs directly if you post over at the official StepMania Boards [ clicky!]. considering that I know very little about what has changed metric-wise with 4.0, I'm probably going to end up being of little help here. | |

As for #2, look in BGAnimations\ScreenSelectMusic overlay\default.xml for this: Code: <Layer
Type="@BitmapText"
Font="@Common normal"
InitCommand='x,SCREEN_CENTER_X-160;y,SCREEN_CENTER_Y+94;playcommand,"Set"'
OnCommand="zoom,0.5;shadowlength,2;diffusealpha,0;linear,0.5;diffusealpha,1"
OffCommand="linear,0.5;diffusealpha,0"
SetCommand="%function(self)
local sText = GAMESTATE:GetSongOptionsString()
sText = string.gsub(sText, ', ', '\n')
self:settext( sText )
if GAMESTATE:IsAnExtraStage() then
self:diffuseblink()
end
end"
SongOptionsChangedMessageCommand='playcommand,"Set"'
/> you'll probably want to remove that.

Edit: That xml file is awesome, editpad pro colorizes it and all the variables I've been trying to change are in them!

I'm seriously considering releasing an unofficial binary right about now. | |

Total Tokens: 118.40 Donate Tokens | Hey my theme crashed! I'll port over the graphics and continue making graphics until 4.0 RC1 or whatever it is I should wait for to create custom metrics that will be rendered useless in the next release.
Still though, this is delicious.
