even tought you switched to sm5, for people that are wondering about having a NPS counter on 3.95, good fucking luck, you only got shitty xml files to work with so scripting is nonexisting, enjoy your limitedmanias

If theres a theme that looks exactly like stians 3.95 theme for sm5 i might consider changing. Theres not a single sm5 theme that doesent distract my eyes in some way.

doesn't distract my eyes in some way.

Default theme with redirs thrown in to turn off everything on gameplay. Set the Blind (hide judgement) mod, and you're set.

Add the sm3.95 screencut, the little MA counter at the side and the +/- thing next to the combo counter thats on stians sm5 theme and the barebone theme is basically the best theme there is.

I'm gonna post this here since it's half relevant

-- Inside Graphics/nps_disp.lua
local positions= { [PLAYER_1]= {_screen.w * .25, 60}, [PLAYER_2]= {_screen.w * .75, 60}}
local actors= {}
for i, v in ipairs(GAMESTATE:GetEnabledPlayers) do
	actors[#actors+1]= Def.BitmapText{
		Font= THEME:GetPathF("Common", "Normal"), InitCommand= function(self)
			self:diffuse(Color.White)
			self:xy(positions[v][1], positions[v][2]+24)
		end,
		["CurrentSteps"..ToEnumShortString(v).."ChangedMessageCommand"]=
			function(self)
				local steps= GAMESTATE:GetCurrentSteps(v)
				local song= GAMESTATE:GetCurrentSong()
				if not steps or not song then self:settext("NPS: N/A") return end
				local song_len= song:GetLastSecond() - song:GetFirstSecond()
				local radar= steps:GetRadarValues(v)
				local notes= radar:GetValue("RadarCategory_TapsAndHolds") +
					radar:GetValue("RadarCategory_Jumps") +
					radar:GetValue("RadarCategory_Hands")
				self:settext(("NPS: %.2f"):format(notes / song_len))
			end
	}
end
return Def.ActorFrame(actors)

-- Add this to some ActorFrame in ScreenGameplay decorations.lua
LoadActor(THEME:GetPathG("", "nps_disp.lua"))

Re: NPS counter for 3.95???

Re: NPS counter for 3.95???

lol so what are the perks of a playing on sm5?

I don't want to go to the extra trouble of checking out Alpha 1 and finding a good place to stick it in default. (Sidek said he was on Alpha 1, I didn't want to ask why)
If ScreenGameplay decorations/default.lua looks the way it does now, all you have to do is stick the first piece of code in "Graphics/nps_disp.lua", and add "t[#t+1]= LoadActor(THEME:GetPathG("", "nps_disp.lua"))" before the return statement at the end.


As for perks of playing on SM5, almost everything that comes to mind for me is something special I did in my theme, many of which weren't possible at all a year ago. So for me, the perk is that if I think of something I want stepmania to do, I can make it do it.
The only things I can think of for common players are the superior speed mod selection (no more modifying metrics to add to a list), and C/M mods adjusting for music rate. Those are both trivial changes.
Plus, I never even used 3.95. I started out on SM4 CVS and upgraded every year or so.
