Noteskins & Judgment Fonts

Starspark is a set of Stepmania noteskins with sparkly decorations, excellent contrast, and a unique style of Shock Arrow graphics.

Features

• Familiar classic DDR-style arrow shape
• Quadruple resolution graphics
• Support for DDR, PIU, Technomotion, and Stepmaniax modes
• Redesigned explosions
• Mines and Shock Arrows
• Supports ProTiming for Outfox

NOTE: This Noteskin should not be used with the theme “Starlight TWOpointZERO” for Outfox or with songs from the “DDR XX” pack. For more restrictions, refer to the End User Licence Agreement.

Starspark is a family of Noteskins that is compatible with the Dance (including Solo style), Pump, Techno, and SMX modes. The arrow shape is based on the classic DDR arrow with the swallowtail, but has been rounded into a distinctive, smoother shape.

Its modern design features a thick black and white outline on all hit objects, guaranteeing contrast from light or dark backgrounds.

It boasts 4 different colorations depending on your preference. More on this below.

Noteskins

Unlike the STARLiGHT noteskins, The Starspark Noteskin’s variations can be used standalone.

To install the noteskin, follow these steps:

1. Extract all folders to /Noteskins/common. (If you are on Outfox, instead extract to /Appearance/Noteskins/global.)
2. If Stepmania is running, reload metrics and textures using F2. If not, simply start Stepmania.

Judgments

On Outfox, there is a folder for judgment fonts that is shared between themes: /Appearance/Judgments and /Appearance/HoldJudgments. Place the judgment font images there.

On Stepmania 5.0, 5.1, or other versions, there are no folders for shared judgment fonts. Please find the appropriate image in your theme’s assets, and replace it. (For example, in Simply Love SM5, it was /Graphics/_judgments.)

Please note that this Noteskin suite is no longer a part of DDR XX -STARLiGHT- despite starting as such, due to the project’s leadership unilaterally removing me and my contributions to said project. It is listed for your enjoyment in ways that are completely separate from said project.
