DDR Ultramix Theme -Now SMOnline Compatible-

NeoMaster · Trick Member Joined: 26 Dec 2004 Location: Albuquerque, NM

Hello again. I have just adapted the DDR Ultramix theme to be compatible with SMOnline. The current version is now Version 2.5 -Connected- (hey, I had to make it sound cool

). I've tested it and it works well. The toughest part was definitely configuring the NetSelectMusic screen. That took a lot of time! I also left version 2.0 up for download for those who don't want SMOnline play. It works with both release candidates (rc1 and rc2a). New screens below!

Known Bug
-Network Options (SMOnline in main menu) goes to options instead of the Title Menu.

You can download version 2.5 -Connected- or version 2.0 at:
Download Page

Enjoy!

Downloading now, Ill comment on it later as an EDIT to this post.

EDIT: Pretty good first attempt. Ive never played Ultramix of the PSX, so I dont know what it actually looks like. But most of the graphics in the theme are very blurry...

Well, I got all of the in-game graphics from my capture card, which unfortunately sucks, as you can see. I have an ATI TV Wonder VE. $20 more would get me a TV Wonder Pro, but I still doubt the product line's video quality. If I could get some hi-res shots, I could make it look a lot better. All the custom made graphics are lot sharper (hopefully

).

And jbean, do you mean pictures of the theme, or pictures of the game itself?

EDIT: I looked at it and without the sharper-end graphics, it is only mediocre. The graphics really make the theme.

Well done! I've never seen screenshots of Ultramix, so I don't know if it's accurate or not, but it's a good looking skin.

Looks very good, screen shots look exactly like Ultramix.

Hey, Casino and RadMooseKiller, thanks for the positive feedback!
And AJ 187, I guess I really didn't look hard enough! It's nice to see someone else that wants a good Ultramix theme to be out there! I'll check out the pics and stuff.

Result:
Wow, that looks a lot better than mine does. Good job. Hey, if you could give me that download link, I could mix the good elements of both themes into one main Ultramix theme to rule supreme! That'd be a cool project to work on. Can't wait!

First, seems like a pretty good job.

The only thing I would say to make it look better is with the perfects, greats, almosts, etc.. the text seems a little blurry and a somewhat bland color. I would make it brighter and sharper.

The other thing I would change is the bar that says "heavy" right above the score seems its crammed too much to the side; it would look a lot better if that and the score was just a tad bit from the edge and not directly on it.

Just a few small things, again, very nice job on this skin.
