Help me add folder title and song title to the results menu in stepmania

[Mollocephalus]

I use sm 3.95 on mac with a really broken but nonetheless working ITG2 theme. In the results screen, i'd like to show (above the banner) the name of the song, and if possible, the pack name. Can anyone help?

[Xiz]

I can't even get 3.95 to work on my mac, I gotta use 5 haha

[firemon22]

why 3.95

[Mollocephalus]

[Mollocephalus]

[Sidek]

If Sidek didn't send you anything, I can help you with this.


(just did this.)

what i did was not quite working with ITG theme :/ actually this installment of ITG overrides the default theme folder so i'm not sure how to get around it. maybe i should copy the line from openITG? but then, where do i put it? aaaah it sucks to be a coding noob

In your theme, do you have a ScreenEvaluationStage overlay folder or .xml file?

[Mollocephalus]

yes, it's this one:

it's called ScreenEvaluation overlay.xml

Alright, perfect. This should work as long as you're using Stepmania 3.95 CVS like you said.

I created a file in the Scripts folder called Gameplay.lua; the second part of the code in my file, listed below, is what you want:

(note, you can copy this script and save it as a .lua file with the name of your choice, or you can append it to an old one, that's entirely your choice)

-- Song directory listing in results screen.
function SetSongDirectory ( actor )
Trace ( "SetSongDirectory" )
local songstate = GAMESTATE:GetCurrentSong();
local coursestate = GAMESTATE:GetCurrentCourse();
local text = ""

if songstate then
text = songstate:GetSongDir();
end

if coursestate then
text = coursestate:GetDisplayFullTitle() .. " - " .. text;
end

actor:settext ( text )
end

Then, in ScreenEvaluation Overlay.xml, you'll want this:

<ActorFrame>
<children>
<BitmapText
Font="_Arial 14 Shadow"
Text=""
OnCommand="y,3;x,SCREEN_CENTER_X;zoom,.4;shadowlength,0;vertalign,top"
InitCommand="playcommand,Update"
UpdateCommand="%SetSongDirectory"
/>
</children>
</ActorFrame>

NOTE: If you're using the default ITG theme, you won't have the same font in your fonts folder. Use Common Normal inside of the quotes of the red area of the code, and see if it does anything. Feel free to play with the values inside of the OnCommand -- they determine the placement of the font. Right now, y is set to 3 pixels from the top of the screen, and x is set to the center point of the x axis. The zoom value being set at .4 means that the font is set to 40% of the normal size as shown in the images. You can set this back to 1 if you'd like.

i did as you said, we're getting closer i think but i got this:

StepMania 3.9 SMO CVS 06-18-2005 crash report (build 6)
--------------------------------------

Crash reason: Compiling "return function(self,parent)
	self:y(3)
	self:x(SCREEN_CENTER_X)
	self:zoom(.4)
	self:shadowlen gth(0)
	self:vertalign('top')
end

[aj187]

make sure the space in "shadowlen gth" isn't there. hopefully that will fix it but I'm not 100% certain

[Mollocephalus]

Damn, i didn't notice that. Trying when i get home!

[Mollocephalus]

we are now down to this after fixing what AIJ mantioned.

StepMania 3.9 SMO CVS 06-18-2005 crash report (build 6)
--------------------------------------

Crash reason: Assertion '!lua_isnil(L, -1)' failed
Crashed thread: Main thread

[Mollocephalus]

since the code wasn't working still, i decided to try copying the song credits which appear right before the song starts, and resize them to the top. In retrospective, i should have tried this from the start:



ScreenEvaluation overlay now looks like this:

<ActorFrame>
	<children>
	   <ActorFrame

			OnCommand="x,SCREEN_CENTER_X-240;y,SCREEN_CENTER_Y-95;difficultyoffset;addx,-SCREEN_WIDTH/2;sleep,3;decelerate,0.3;addx,+SCREEN_WIDTH/2"

			<Actor
				File="@THEME:GetPath(EC_GRAPHICS,'','_difficulty icons')"
				OnCommand="animate,0;playcommand,Update"
				UpdateCommand="%function(self,parent) SetDifficultyFrameFromGameState(self, PLAYER_1) end"

		</children> </ActorFrame>
       
	    <ActorFrame>
             <children>
<BitmapText

						end
					end"
			/>
		</children> </ActorFrame>

		<Layer

			</children>

	</children>
</ActorFrame>

now i'll figure out how to pull the pack name from the song select screen and then it will be perfect
