trying to port to 4.0 alpha

slantyr · Postby **slantyr** » Tue Dec 28, 2010 1:23 pm

as the title says i'm trying to port my bioshock theme to 4.0.x alpha just released

first thing i did was to copy the file structure to include the new folders with the proper files (file names)

i can't switch from the rb style main menu so the maintext image is being cut improperly thanks Ambiguity

i know i have all the right stuff, how do i set up my lobby? thanks wierdpeople/worldrave

also how do i set up a custom setlist to the rb2 style thanks wierdpeople/blazingamer

my customsetlist.py link(link updated. now works!)

some of the images are not scaling with the resolution thanks fuzion
fixed for the next alpha

need some direction as to how the new editor/instrument-difficulty select screen is being handled.

edit: my rockmeter.ini now works but crashes the game

I don't know much about the new coding, but maybe this quote from the GH5 Theme thread will help:

weirdpeople wrote:ok yes it was as i though you have to do it through the CustomTheme.py with:
self.use_solo_submenu = False

then you will will have gh styled menus.

because for some reason the theme.ini setting doesnt work for me even though it is defined in the the theme.py but if anyone wants to try it the theme.ini setting for it is:
use_solo_submenu = False

slantyr · Postby **slantyr** » Tue Dec 28, 2010 5:23 pm

that worked! main menu fixed

thanks dude

Ambiguity · Postby **Ambiguity** » Tue Dec 28, 2010 9:18 pm

No problem, glad I could help(by repeating others lol) :).

weirdpeople · Postby **weirdpeople** » Tue Dec 28, 2010 10:21 pm

ill look through all of your stuff for you

and about the notes currently all themes are forced rockband, sorry but thats the way it is currently. So thats why your main menu text was messed up, and your notes you will have to remake them for the rock band type.

for the new lobby there are alot of new theme settings for it, i would have to look through the theme.py and pull them out of there to tell you all of them.

I may be able to help you on the setlist forcing it to rb2 style

i see several errors in your rockmeter.ini when i looked through it
first it looks like you used one of the other megalight themes other than megalight v4 as a basis for it, and someone i think it was fuzion didnt convert them correctly to the new format rockmeter.ini, and doesnt work right. So your rm.ini may need to be re wrote i might be able to do that for you, and stars, i dont know how they work as of yet with the newer system, so i will have to talk to blazingGamer about that Next time he gets on the irc, just so you know.

-- Edit: Wed Dec 29, 2010 4:22 am --

i have been thinking how to make the starpower lights in the rockmeter.ini, but it would be to much for me to do right now. I could do it, it might just take a while, and im busy on the rb3 theme.

slantyr · Postby **slantyr** » Wed Dec 29, 2010 10:34 am

thanks for the reply weirdpeople.

forced rb that explains alot
doesn't that mean my meters wont work no matter what's in the rm.ini

making a rb style set of notes is easy enough, but won't look as good.
hopefully we'll get our spinnotes and splightening back on the next release

the customsetlist.py i have, used to work for the rb2 setlist. maybe (hopefully) it's close. i need help

i don't understand why it's not using any of the images in the lobby folder
i can look through the theme.py for settings, thanks for pointing that out
edit: ajusted the options in my customtheme.py to reflect the get (-val-) from the theme.py
looks like it worked some but it's not fliping through the screens

other things i notice,

the log says there's no default stage but there is one in the stages folder
the log says i'm missing fonts present in the fonts folder

every little bit helps ambiguity ;)

For the lobby the image names have changed, and you will probably have to completely re make everything for the lobby. I guess ill post something that worldrave typed up in the bottom of his CustomTheme.py that i got when i was working with him for that little while on the gh5 theme, that explains all the images used for the new lobby.

The reason some of those variables didn't work is because you got the wrong thing out of the theme.py you need the self.var not the one in get() for use in the CustomTheme.py.

Hit lightning isnt tied to theme type anymore, unlike some things that still are, so you should be good on that. I also read through the code and it doesn't look like spin notes are tied to theme type ether, so just put them in the notes folder and you should be good.

The reason why there is no default stage, is because the stages folder was changed to the backgrounds folder, and then the old fof stages were brought back, using the stages folder.

I don't know how it wouldn't look as good with the rock band notes format, because i would think they would look the same if they were made right

I have never messed with the customsetlist stuff too much, so i dont know how to force it rb2 yet, but for me it looks like the CustomSetlist.py you uploaded should be working in rb2 mode.

But to fix your setlist you should be able to put import Song above or below those other 2 imports in the CustomSetlist.py and it should fix it hopefully.

slantyr · Postby **slantyr** » Thu Dec 30, 2010 10:41 am

good information, i will have to remake my lobby images.
at least fofix is using them now

adding this to my customsetlist.py

Code: Select all

from Song import _

didn't work

about the notes, i was saying the static ones don't look as good as spinnotes ;)
both the spinnotes and spinnotesbattle are in the notes folder
just checked the option and they're supposedly on so, i don't know

moved the stages to a backgrounds folder and they work now

weirdpeople · Postby **weirdpeople** » Thu Dec 30, 2010 5:29 pm

no you did it wrong for the import past this exactly:

Code: Select all

import Song

then if that doesnt work try:

Code: Select all

import Song as Song

slantyr · Postby **slantyr** » Thu Dec 30, 2010 6:59 pm

i think that worked but now it's stopping on the shadowfont

blazingamer · Postby **blazingamer** » Thu Dec 30, 2010 8:55 pm

It should be shadowFont, not shadowfont.

Rockmeters will work no matter what theme type because they are not tied in with theme type. All rockmeters are designed by hand, there are no hard coded rockmeters.

Image stages go in backgrounds folder, stage.ini backgrounds go into stage folder.

We're forcing the RB theme format throughout the code because in most cases the layout of images, such as notes, were more flexible and didn't need random conditions to handle them like the gh note layout did. Look at MegaLight V4 because it is the most complete of the themes that comes standard with 4.0.

slantyr · Postby **slantyr** » Thu Dec 30, 2010 11:35 pm

thanks for the reply blazing,

i agree that mearging to one theme system is the right move

is there some way i can specify spinnotes in my theme?
maybe the spinnotes should be adapted to the rb style sheet for starpower also (just thinking)

so my rockmeter.ini can be fixed. thats awsome news
i need to figure out what parts are crashing the game so i can at least work with it

again i think we got a little farther with the customsetlist.py
now stops here

will take a good hard look at ml v4

add this to the top of your CustomSetlist where you put the import Song as Song

Code: Select all

from OpenGL.raw.GL import glColor3f
from OpenGL.raw.GL import glColor4f
import string

then it should work for good this time

Maybe after i do a few things i could make a rough rockmeter.ini for you as a place to start, since im uploading what im releasing for my rb3 theme as i speak.

slantyr · Postby **slantyr** » Fri Dec 31, 2010 9:22 am

eureka! it worked, updated the link in the OP

i'd like to figure out how to nudge all of the text down some

when i changed the resolution to try and get a sharper screenshot i noticed that some of the images aren't being scaled anymore
these images appear to only scale as intended in the 640x480 resolution

maintext
version tag
options panel

in the rb2 settlist it was
label
diff image

where has the editor/instrument-difficulty select screen gone?

its there, but the code for it was re wrote, so there are new images and stuff for it

as for the main menu not scaling yeah, i have this problem too, and blazin' would have to answer that one because I dont know why it doesn't scale either
