To anyone who cares: I'm still working on this StepMania based very faithful DDR and it's pretty great!

 

- Now supporting Shock Arrow judgments (buggy)

- Corrected FLARE danger textures

- Minor fixes everywhere

Can you add border and center guidelines and make them indiviual for p1 and p2 and also the ink is dead

That link was incorrect, sorry.

By the way, guidelines exist in the theme

I know but I mean make two different types of guidelines border and center option. And make them disappear after a song and also can you make them individual for each player rather than have them locked onto two players thank you

turns out this is already implemented using BeginReadyDelay() for beginning and GAMESTATE:GetCurrentSong():GetLastBeat() for end, as well as being individual for every player

How about CONSTANT?

Has been implemented. You cannot set a specific amount of milliseconds because StepMania doesn't do that but an approximate implementation will be uploaded.

Extra Stage stars now also work just like the arcade game!

 

Here I got 8 stars in the game, these stars carry over to the next game and give you an Extra Stage once you got 9.

Hmmm....can this work on current versions and BABY-LON'S GALAXY too...?

Well, BABY-LON'S GALAXY can't be implemented, but the extra stage stars implementation is part of "01 ExtraStageStars.lua"

This video showcase shows off the following features:

- Extra Stage Stars

- FLARE EX lifebar

- Shock Arrow judgments

- Target Score (+XXXX text below the judgments)

 

This has been made possible by editing the StepMania engine and doing a lot of Lua scripting

https://files.catbox.moe/0fk69f.mp4

 

All of this work is public on my GitHub repository so you can take the Lua script and add it to your own theme.

No I mean like player one can have guidelines on and player 2 can have no guidelines on. And guidelines should disappear like this

It now works, not yet for both players but the appearance and disappearance timing is arcade accurate. The texture can't be changed outright cuz the theme uses Metrics for Guidelines (in this case it's NoteField bars) and I'd have to wrap Lua around the metric values.

Yes as Enciso's dance stages are the main background that matches the theme

 

I uploaded another update that adds region fonts, fixes the 0 more coin(s) needed bug and reworks guidelines and extra stage stars to be more correct

I love the new theme updates but I have a major concern. When I press the operator menu or go to theme options you can’t change in game settings or change the theme so the only way I can change themes is by deleting and re adding it back.

To change the settings, you need to select the blank option in the service menu, press enter, go to Appearance Options and change the theme, and re-enter the service menu. This is done to match the service menu to the arcade game.

in the Custom Options, if you changed it to be RandomMovies (accessible via blank option in the service menu), change it to RandomMovies and install some random movie files in the RandomMovies folder. Examples of such files are available on my repository: https://github.com/h-lunah/DDR-A3-KIT/tree/legacy/RandomMovies

This might be the hardest thing to implement in the theme but what about a custom announcer engine for screen gameplay overlay default.lua? The announcer in Ace’s engine works in multiple ways it cues lines for 50 combo milestones 100, combo milestones, and also reacts to the BPM’s frequency of a song. If a song has a high BPM rate the announcer will sound more frequently if the announcer has lower BPM lines will be more spaced out. I tried to code this before and got close but failed. It also runs on an elapsed time for combos if you break them or how it catches up. Announcer for during a song works in a lot of different ways and could be quite the task to add something that mimics ddr’s engine. You would need a lot of conditions and if statements to make this work. You would also need to relabel the folders so engine defined sounds don’t overlap with the custom sounds here is a code I made but it is not good.

Only for A3 there was a Cabinet Type 6 (Gold). DDR WORLD has no gold cab option.

 

If you're trying to patch DDR A3, turn on the Force Cabinet Type 6 option. For DDR WORLD there is no such option.
