[SM5.1.-3 / SM5.0.12] spawncamping-wallhack

[Nano Desu]

Would this theme work on SM5.0.7? and if not, how do I update to 5.0.8 without messing up my noteskins/themes/songpacks?

[lurker]

just run the installer for a newer version, it'll uninstall the old one first
uninstalling doesn't delete anything you added to the game, so everything you listed will be fine
just make sure you install the new version to the same folder as the old one

Anything related to grabbing notecount from a chart will be messed up for any version lower than 5.0.8.

As for the stack overflow issue when switching to 5.0.10 from an older version:

Nov 12 10:01:26 <shakesoda> if it crashes on startup, remove the 106x whatever kanji fonts
Nov 12 10:01:46 <shakesoda> I had that problem when updating from 509

Or just delete the default and _fallback theme after uninstalling the previous version then reinstall.

Stick content like that in %APPDATA%/StepMania 5.0/ or use the AdditionalSongFolders preference. Then migration is easier.

how would i go about removing those "beat ticks" that scroll down the playfield?

[shenjoku]

Set all of these to 0:
BarMeasureAlpha=0
Bar4thAlpha=0
Bar8thAlpha=0

That's how I've been doing it anyways.

More updates since the last post:

Anything related to lane widths now scale correctly based on mini mod being used.
(this includes lane cover, screen filter, etc.)

"Best Score" Pacemaker graph now account for the current rate mod being used.
e.g. When playing with 1.2x rate, Graph will show the best score from scores played with 1.2x rate.

"Current Score" Pacemaker graph will also show the current average score graph underneath the original additive score graph.

Mid-Game Pausing. Tapping <Select> twice during gameplay will pause/unpause the game.
The number of times the game has been paused will show up on eval.

Full Combo effects

[Kraezymann]

Holy shit a pause? I didn't know that was a thing in music games lol

[Nano Desu]

Will it be possible for lane covers to not cover receptors/judgement and only cover the arrows? also why are some songs purple regardless of colour code?

Receptors probably not. Judgments I wish I could but setting the draworder stuff doesn't seem to have any effect.

It just applies for whatever color is set for the oni/insane difficulty (which is purple) if the difficulty meter is above a certain point.

I'll probably change it back to a red color like every other theme.



Also added a message that will show up once you hit the maximum score limit on a simfile in eval.
(because no one ever changes the value from the default one)

Then maybe could we have something similar to hidden but the notes don't flash bright white when they hit the hidden line and instead just disappear?

Is there somewhere in the metrics I can change this?

That's probably more in the noteskin area if i read that correctly.

search up
ExtraColor= in [SongManager]

Isn't this a bug in SM itself?

If I recall correctly, someone else recompiled the source to fix this bug for themselves, but I don't remember who.

Its not in the noteskin realm unfortunately.

That's a bug? I thought that was just part of the game and the modifier itself.

Thanks for all the work you have done for this theme; it's great! Keep up the good work.

The only way to do this in 5.0 is to change ArrowEffects::GetGlow() in src/ArrowEffects.cpp to always return 0 and recompile.

When an arrow crosses the line from visible to hidden in Stepmania, the notefield ramps down a value called PercentVisible. PercentVisible is used to calculate glow and alpha values for the arrow. The glow layer is a white layer with the same shape that is drawn over the arrow.
As PercentVisible goes from 1 to 0.5, alpha stays at 1 (opaque), and glow goes up to 1.3 (white). When PercentVisible is less than or equal to 0.5, alpha is 0. As PercentVisible goes from 0.5 to 0, glow goes from 1.3 to 0.

So the arrow starts out colored normally, then is gradually covered by a bright white version fading in. Then the colored arrow disappears entirely and the white version fades out.

In 5.1, themers will be able to make mods that control the alpha and the glow separately, so it will be possible to make arrows fade without flashing, purely in lua. This is an example where the arrows fade in and out, and each column is slightly different. Not exactly what you have in mind, but it does show that alpha and glow will be separated and controllable in detail by the theme. This is an example that changes glow.

Added the NPS graph which can be enabled in player options.

The best part of playing as Player 2 is that I get the full combo splash for every song.
