StepMania System Zero

Breakway

I'm posting this everywhere I know it'll be seen, so here you go:
If you're still using a version of StepMania 4 CVS from before 2008, STOP. It's out of date and most likely to be garbage. This goes quadruple for any build from 2006.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled System Zero.

History

System Zero was the first original theme from KKI. It was considered the flagship theme until the release of minimalia. Development began in 2004, and the officially noted anniversary is in July. The theme has been through many versions, each sporting a slightly different look. Eventually, 1.0 (or really "1.0") was reached, finishing up any obligation to it. System Zero would later make an appearance as the interim theme of StepMania 4. KKI Labs no longer supports this theme, it's only available here for historical purposes.

Errata

Here are some things you may want to know about.

ScreenMenuKid/"Secret Menu"

ScreenMenuKid is set to load at 11:11 (which is 11:11am) and 22:22 (which is 10:22pm). Instead of making this happen with the seconds ALSO being 11 or 22, I decided to have it take up the entire minute. This seems to have made people mad. While this could be fixed in a service update, I don't really forsee myself making said update, as the reports of pissing people off are limited (I think I've only seen 3 myself).

In any case, the following fix will trigger ScreenMenuKid at 3:33 and 5:55 instead of 11:11 and 22:22. Open up metrics.ini and find the following section:
Condition2=Hour() == 11 and Minute() == 11
Condition3=Hour() == 22 and Minute() == 22
Change the two instances of 11 to 3 and 33. Change the two instances of 22 to 5 and 55. Bask in the glory as you never have to see ScreenMenuKid unless you play early in the morning. If you DO play early in the morning, then I'm not sure what values to put. Keep in mind the time values are dependent on your system clock.

3.9+ PaneDisplay Labels

If you use this theme in StepMania 3.9+, you may get complaints about some missing graphic files. Now, I thought I was done with messing with SysZero on 3.9, but I guess I decided to make matching PaneDisplay labels for the new features:
rolls label
lifts label
hiddens label

This should get 3.9+ to shut up.
