* I modified the Operator Menu for home play rather than being geared for arcade usage, as I do with all themes I offer on this website. The following modifications/fixes were made: To keep the theme operating as close as possible to how ITG2 used to, I only modified what was necessary. The theme that at one point defined a new generation of players who were tired of playing DDR's easy songs and wanted to push beyond 10s to see just what their limits were, this is the default In The Groove 2 theme seen in arcades for years after the game's release. So if you play skillfully, these themes will agree with ITG closely or entirely when it comes to final score it's only when you start messing up that scoring differences become apparent. * My themes' scoring is a fair bit like ITG scoring, except that it penalizes worse judgments more fairly (rather than as harshly as ITG does), and bothers to actually penalize dropping Holds and Rolls where no other theme does so. * My PrismRhythm themes' timing uses different windows from ITG or DDR (the more accurate judgments are ever so slightly tighter than ITG, but not as tight as DDR bad judgments are given a bit less leeway as well in an attempt to prevent pad Awfuls). The difference between my PrismRhythm themes and ITG themes is how they judge and score you. Version 15 overhauled a lot when it came to graphics and revised the judgment windows (timing), and Version 16 finally gave the theme its own unique fonts.ĭifferences Between This and Typical ITG Themes I've worked on it for many years, and over those years, have done my best to add some niceties to it and make it worthwhile to play on. So if SM crashes, just try restarting it once to see if it was a theme conflict issue all of these themes work from a proper SM restart. Thus, the only way you can be 100% sure that StepMania is actually trying to load all the correct elements is to restart it after each theme switch. It's probably a theme conflict, which can potentially happen on any screen (though most often when attempting to load the song select screen) if you switch themes and don't restart StepMania, because SM 3.95 holds certain things in RAM without changing them when you switch themes, instead of properly clearing everything. What if StepMania crashes? Could it be because I switched themes?
How do I tell the game I want to switch to my new theme?įrom the title screen, go into the options menu, and hit "Appearance Options " you'll find the option for which theme you want to use in there. Unzip the theme's file, and put the theme's main folder (for example, "In The Groove 3" or "PrismRhythm (PR Belltina)") in your StepMania's Themes folder for example: I offer several themes that are compatible with SM 3.95 CVS you can check out some screenshots of the music select and mod menus, as well as a gameplay screenshot, so you can decide if you want to use any of the themes you see here. If you're tired of looking at SM3.95's default theme, this is the section you want. If you get the with-songs bundle, and end up downloading any of my individual packs or any of the standard ITG packs in order to have all of that content, it's obviously a good idea to the corresponding demo pack (my Archives, or the ITG demo pack). This starter bundle comes packed with my PrismRhythm theme, as well as a bunch of noteskins. If you've got nothing and want one download that'll take care of quite a lot, this is a great starting point. This is a good choice to make if you're just starting out and don't know which song packs you might be interested in. ✓ Comes with 240 Songs in 2 Trial Packs: This gets updated when the Archives Pack does. This is likely the choice you want to make if you're already familiar with StepMania and how to add song packs, and you don't want the two song trial packs present in the with-songs bundle getting in your way so you can get to adding normal song packs faster. This gets updated when the PrismRhythm theme does.
