Need help with making themes [Advanced]

**Goldenwind** · 05-11-2011, 05:29 PM

Hey guys.
Working on an ITG2 build which is coming along wonderfully.

If you can help me get any of these things working, I can offer you a spot in the credits if it's worth anything to you.

Things I'd be interested in:
- What variables can be edited from within metrics.ini for ScreenMiniMenuMainMenu (This is when you are in Edit Mode, and have the ESC menu showing. Edit Steps Information, Play Whole Song, etc; please mention how you found it out, as I've looked at almost every file, line-by-line)

- Song title shown as text above the banner on the ScreenEvaluationStage (Score screen after playing a song) (This feature already exists in other ITG themes, however I don't know which, nor do I have any of them)
EDIT: ^Got the one

- Blue/orange/green colour on graph on ScreenEvaluationStage (Score screen after playing a song). The colour shows how long you've had a blue, orange or green combo during the song. This feature also already exists in other themes. I just don't have them.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

that's pretty much an openitg feature; it usually comes from the patch.zip (look for patch-dec.zip for the theme changes)

Sadly this is the conclusion I came to too.

Thank-you, aj187.

Looking for a way to access the number of steps/jumps/holds/etc in lua.
Making a custom-made Groove Radar.

Of note:
In metrics.ini, under [PaneDisplay], there is text for these things

SongNumStepsTextX=9
SongNumStepsTextY=-24+14*0
SongNumStepsTextOnCommand=horizalign,right;zoom,.5;shadowlength,0
SongNumStepsTextOffCommand=

etc

But I need to access the number SongNumStepsText is positioning so it may be stored in a temporary variable and played with mathematically.

Anyone have any ideas of how to access this information?
