*NEW* and way-improved DDR Extreme theme for stepmania

orb · Trick Member Joined: 20 Nov 2002

The theme is still in progress, but I've released a new beta (and NO I'm NOT tamagokun, that guy has some serious issues with being banned from forums). It's not perfect but pretty damn close -- I guess I'll post here when a new one comes out.

In-game screenshot:

(In alpha 8 you'll get this ugly Machine Record/Personal Record thing, but that was beyond my control and should be fixed for the next beta)

For now , it's for Stepmania3.9 alpha 8, but should work from alpha 6 on up. Grab it at http://www.digitallypixeled.net/downloads.html , it's called something like DDR extreme skin(complete) v.90. That's the one; a lot of new shizzle in there. Remember, I've improved some stuff since THAT beta but it's not enough to make a new one. Enjoy; please post screenshots and/or bugs in this thread. And if I forget this thread exists; please proceed to PM/email me.

why is the life bar blurry?

I believe that the game mode graphics on the top of the theme were actually ripped (excluding the stage number/event) from the game, and therefore are blurred a bit.

sephi:

Yep, I am aware of that. The problem is that these weren't the best quality when produced and each of the little "rounds" in the lifebar were sorta jaggedey. Therefore I think I blurred it a little bit to increase the quality. If I get more time I might fix that in the near future though.

BTW, I'm working on improving the headers on the top of the screens to make 'em look even more authentic. I have a few official ones, but:

A. They have some noise around the shadows (not very good quality).

B. I only have some of them, and I wouldn't like a few of the headers to be all smooth but non-authentic and a few kinda weird, but correct.

I've discovered the correct size and colors for most of them so no more "Select Course" being in pink.

OK now sephi it's time for...

WORD OF MOUTH.
tell other people about this thread/skin/whatever.

Anyway, I've got a little surprise for ya.
