[WIP][3.95/OITG] DDR Party Collection

[Wanny]

Taken from the (sort of) readme:

**DDR Party Collection theme for SM 3.95/OpenITG.***
Based on Takuya's theme for SM 3.9, conversion by Wanny

With Takuya's permission, I adapted the metrics from 3.9 to 3.95, re-ripped many graphics (since Takuya clearly used screencaps xDD), added new screens to try to adapt to the real thing (i.e. ScreenSelectGameMode), etc.
Note: Since the original PS2 game runs at 640x448 instead of 640x480, I decided to tweak it a bit and use the DDR Extreme elements positioning (well, in the end Party Collection is an Extreme "recolor")

Misc TODO:

-ScreenEndingGood: have to get a way to capture the Party Collection credits roll (yanno, Midnite Blaze/Silent Hill)
-ScreenGameplay: Have to make sure that everything is in the right place.
Plus, I'm hesitant if to leave the lower part as it is, or to add the black area from the Arcade games (where the CREDITS info goes)
-ScreenRanking, ITG style.
-Find a way to fix the damned cursors in ScreenSelectMaster. A source modification seems everytime more needed xD
-ScreenEvaluation: is clearly wrong.
-ScreenNameEntryTraditional: has stuff taken from other themes. Have to think about something with DDR theme elements.
-Remove the leftovers from the 3.95 default theme. I'm too lazy to do it.
-Fix the Operator menu to resemble the Options menu from the original game.
-many other things I'm forgetting right now.


Uploaded for testing purposes only. As it can be seen, this is very unfinished yet.

Screenshots:


ScreenSelectGameMode. Done from scratch since ScreenSelectStyle is too limited. The stages indicator actually changes according to the setting.


ScreenSelectMaster (ugh). Graphics completely redone with PS2 rips. Still needs some little tweaking


ScreenSelectMusic. Note the use of the (originally unused) SORT-SERIES sort icon, and the real memory card wheelitem icon.


ScreenPlayerOptions, containing only DDR options (byebye cmods and weird effects). Needs appropriate noteskins (that are still under development). Still some tweaking can be done.


ScreenGameplay. See the readme for the comments about this screen.

***

As an "added feature", it includes fonts (well, actually redirs to existing fonts) for the Debug Menu. They work with the latest available OpenITG SVN builds (from r739)



This is kind of a test, of course. Fonts are subject to change

Something important I'm forgetting: Nonstop/Oni aren't selectable due to some strange bug in ScreenSelectMaster.

After a looong time (whoa, I can't believe it's been more than a year) I've made some progress on the theme:


I ripped the original font used in ScreenPlayerOptions and took one day to get it right (originally all characters are together, with no fixed spacing)


I managed to show only the PlayerOptions that are shown in the real game (Speeds, Mirror/Left/Right/Shuffle, Little/Flat)
__

I finally captured the credits video. And the song changes depending on the month (so yeah, in December Silent Hill is played instead of Midnite Blaze).
The "little" problem with that, is that due to the video the theme's size was increased in 127 MB. I didn't want the video to lose quality =/
__

Currently I'm working on ScreenOptionsMenu. I want it to look like the Options screen in the original game.

It looks very nice. I would prefer an SM5 theme to be honest, but I guess Takuya should be in charge of that.

this looks AMAZING. Been looking for something worthy to put on my itg machine but ddr like. I made an extreme theme but it still has some bugs. Do you have a download link for this?

[FSX]

Wanny doesn't come around here anymore. I'm pretty sure he's still active at Aaron in Japan's forums and www.zenius-i-vanisher.com.

[MaxX]

He does? I never see him on AiJ (is his username the same there?).

[pulledbyvision]

id like to know his user name also. Im searching for him now but no luck

[Wanny]

Nah, I'm around here (and also in ZiV). About AiJ, I don't even have an account there :P

About the theme, I haven't made any progress lately... just haven't had any motivation to say "hey, let's continue with this" even though some parts are clearly unfinished :P
I'd like to get some help with ScreenSelectMaster (used to select difficulty). I can't figure out how to choose Nonstop/Challenge without crashing the game.

I didn't notice that the link expired... any suggestions of where to reupload it?

Yeah use mediafire. That seems to be where everyone uploads to. Or you could also just email if under 25mb. Getting it not to crash on challenge and nonstop shouldnt be to diffucult. on openitg it will always crash but I can get it to work properly on stepmania for sure. If its easier to email me its welcomhomesilk@gmail.com or add me on facebook
