How to show the background of the file in the results screen.

This is "stolen" from ODI, topic made by Yesssss. Credit goes to him.

But, as the Stepmania forums there are hidden tot nonregged users, we could as well just make a topic here, as I've seen multiple people ask for this before. And some people seem to have trouble registering...

So we don't have to keep referencing to the one scoreboard topic, I'll just put it here, since it's really where it should go. Props to John11 for all of it.


Here's an example screenshot:

Here's what I did for SM3.95

You might want to keep a backup copy of your default theme incase I left out a step or something.

go to [Stepmania Root]\Themes\Default\BGAnimations

Delete: ScreenEvaluationStage background.redir
Create: a folder ScreenEvaluationStage background

inside ScreenEvaluationStage
Create: BGAnimation.ini

in BGAnimation.ini
Enter:
[BGAnimation]

[Layer1]
File=songbackground
Type=0
Command=diffuse,1,1,1,0.75;scaletocover,0,0,640,480;


now open the metrics.ini
search for [ScreenEvaluationStage]
somewhere in that section add:
HeaderY=999
StyleIconY=999
TimerY=999
to remove the header

next in the same section change:
DifficultyIconP1X=214
DifficultyIconP1Y=40
PlayerOptionsP1X=250
PlayerOptionsP1Y=40
to move the difficulty and modifiers above the banner

Hopefully I'm not forgetting something. Someone let me know if that works.

thanks, been wanting to do this and didn't know how.

Yeah, thanks for this. Does it work on themes other than the default one? =O
