Be-Pachi Music!! My continued attempt at a BMS Player / BM simulator

[midnightclubx]

One quick question: Will the new results screen have grades or will it be the same?

[Ultra Violette]

Eventually, it will have grades (and use a hopefully correct EX score for calculation).

Depending on free time, I'll try to get that quickly added in as well.

[Verranicus]

Er.. how do I change the key setup ingame?

[Ultra Violette]

Currently BPM doesn't support in-game key config changes.

For now, use that pop-up config window that appears when BPM.EXE is run, and then 'System' > '... Configure' depending on what you want.

-Implement a player select (1P/Vs.Ghost/others later)

Hhmm.. This is something interesting I like to see work.

Then again, I am curious as to what file format would be used to save another player "score play".. or something.

[Ultra Violette]

For the ghost data I'll just use a quicky binary format, with the player's name included in the file, as well as the name itself.

The program would check if the file name matches the player's name inside the file, and if both are the same, then it will load

I'll probably have a new sub-folder where ghost data can be saved to. Still plenty to plan out, so this most likely won't be in the next version (which truly should be done within the week), but rather in the version after.

First, really good job Ultra Violette, BPM is really fun

But I have a problem here too...

In the joy configuration, I can't define my turntable in 2 buttons... I turn one time and BPM put the other way automatically ! So when I play a song, I can turn my disc only in one way, it's a little weird...

And another thing : is it possible to hide the DJ table in the subscreen ?

Thanks

[Ultra Violette]

Thank you!

That's one thing I need to add in to the next version... Better instructions on how to set up the turntable!

Try this...

On the control configuration, click the turntable image once, then spin the turntable (down). Click on it again, and spin the turntable the other way.

And the next version will remove that DJ table image (as well as everything else... The theme included with BPM's next version will have a completely new look and sound to it )


Also... maybe in 4 days or so (depending on free time) I'll have the new version ready for download.

[ZANTSU]

Nooo no result.... When I try this BPM says in the turntable : Down and 15
But normally to put it right, it would be : 13 and 15...

Do you understand ?

(Sorry for my bad english but I'm french...)

Okay, I'm hooked.

I'll wait for the future update that will have this feature working.

I'm wondering if you would implement something that could enable different results screen depending on your grade (if not already done), sort of like IIDX with the different character screens and stuff.

[Ultra Violette]

ZANTSU:
Does your controller work properly in other beatmania simulators? I'll try to increase controller compatibility later.


XCTnFrunner:
The multiple results screens/background should be very possible, I would just need to plan it out for easy implementation.

I've been avoiding any work on the new results screen lately. I'm saving it for last (Just because... no reason )


And, I definitely did npt meet my deadline of August 31. So, here's BPM's and its new Theme's current states of completion:

New Theme/Skin System: 99% (adding to it as I go)
New Title Screen+BGM: 99% (adding 1 more thing maybe)
New Song Select+BGM: maybe 70%
Main song play screen: 95%
New Results Screen: 0%

My mistake was trying to add in too many new things at one time.

And once again, I'll say "It will be ready in a few days". How many times have I said that?

[ZANTSU]

Yes my controller works perfectly on MixWaver or BemaniaDX...

[XCTnFrunner]

Interesting, because my controller doesn't work at all in MixWaver, but it works perfectly in BPM..

[diexero]

By chance will there ever be ways to custumize the system music and/or add sound effects?
