You can just copy those videos over from the original version’s files.

But they don't work with the 3d background.

Unless there is away to go into the script and change that so the bgvideo playing in the 3d dancestage

UPDATE 20230428

Changelog:

- CUT-INS ARE NOT AVAILABLE FOR DANCESTAGES SYSTEM. This is happening cuz I found some bugs with Random Characters.
- New graphics for Judgments (Combo, Full Combo, Combo Numbers, Judgments) [THANKS A LOT TO 幸福一家王小龙]
- Fixed some graphics stuff.

you can download it from the same link on the first post.

Note: We noticed lamps has a lil bug, but it's part of the code, it is functional. The bug is: sometimes one song has a FullCombo when there's not a FullCombo (Two songs in 10). We'll try to figure out a solution.

-Lemon Team.

Did you fix the issue when the double announcer lines start at the song. I also updated the announcer if you want a link to it.
Also Can you fix the stealth+ option it covers too much of the arrows when it is set to 40 percent coverage. It should look like this shown in this youtube video. [youtube]https://youtu.be/WY5RIKuCvoo[/youtube]

Fonts look much better compared to the old ones. But they are still kinda blurry compared to the arcade ones.

---

left is the original DDR texture, and the right is HFWXWXL texture (resized to fit or theme's texture standards) ... how.


We are still looking at that, thank you for your contribution for the theme and we'll change it soon enough if we see it fit well with the theme.

---

About the double announcer at the start of the song and assuming that the theme used my patches merged for XX Starlight, all announcer ready files must be moved to here we go folders. This will prevent ready announcer from playing and the real "ready" lines are playing from the "here we go" folder. Contents from the ready folder plays immediately while contents from here we go folders plays after a specified time set in theme metric.

The judgements are blurry not the numbers.

Are you guys gonna fix the hidden+ issue. No rush I know you both have school and full time careers to attend to.

fist: DDR original texture
second: HFWXWXL texture (resized to fit or theme's texture standards)

i dont know if you're doing it on purpose or something, but that's objectively wrong. If you keep having that problem, try changing your Texture resolution on "Graphics/Sound Options" to 1024 or higher.

Is there any way to hide more characters behind each folder's name? I'm trying to use a custom order based on the "official" but I can't seem to hide more than the first two numbers and the hyphen

---

You could try using group.ini files for each group folder and add in the group folder's name minus the preceding numbers and hyphen in the #NAME field.

Tried that but it didn't work, I made an .ini file with the name of the group in the "#NAME:XXX;" format and I placed it in the root folder of the whole group but it still appears as how the main folder is named in File Explorer

---

I didn’t realize that the DDR fonts were blurry. Because before the update of theme the fonts were more blurry than DDR. But now looking at them. They do look better. Only complaint I have is that there is no OK judgement for the mines/shock arrows. I think that should be added in the next update.

You can try using preferred sort. You don’t have to “hide” parts of the folder names you can literally name them whatever you want, combine folders, split one folder into multiple, determine exact song order, etc. It’s how I do mine, I just have the file in a zip file and I drop it into the themes I use then change default sort from group to preferred in metrics.ini.

Can someone help a noob here get this theme working? I downloaded the latest version of Stepmania off of their webiste. I tried to get the one from the link on the first post (from Google Drive), but there isn't an .exe file.

What am I supposed do to with it? What am I doing wrong? (besides most of it).

Thanks in advance!

The exe file is in the program folder. StepMania/program. The same place it would be if you used the installer on the StepMania website, but that version is from like 2015 and doesn’t have a lot of the fixes and improvements needed for this theme to work. If you really can’t get the one they’re providing to work, install ITGmania instead.

---

Well that did it... what major differences should I be concerned about between this and the original SM?

Thanks!

Just the ones listed on the ITGmania website, so as far as this theme is concerned you’ll see no difference since it doesn’t support any of the ITGmania specific features.

---

sorry for the late response. I strongly recommend using ITGmania instead of my build, because it's basically SM 5.1-new but way more supported and with a ton of fixes and improvements. I'll remove the 5.1-new build because is causing so much problems rn, sorry for the inconvenience.
