PortKit: StepMania 4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[What is a PortKit?]

PortKits are designed to help facilitate rapid porting of themes from one

version of StepMania to another.



[How to use a PortKit/ThemeKit]

In the metrics.ini file for the theme, you'll need to add (or change) the lines

between the underscores:

___________________________

[Global]

FallbackTheme=_portKit-xxx

___________________________

where "xxx" represents the PortKit you're using.

If the theme you're working with has this set already, you should perform the

edit in the theme that FallbackTheme is pointing to, unless it is _fallback or

default. (Please don't edit the sm-ssc fallback and default themes.)



[What about this PortKit in particular?]

PortKit: StepMania 4 replicates the default StepMania 4 theme on top of

sm-ssc's _fallback. In addition to the metrics (mainly taken wholesale from

the default SM4 theme with IsBaseTheme set to 0), there are a few other things

added in:



* BGAnimations folder

  _missing isn't in the fallback theme currently, plus some themes rely on the

  various frame scripts that live there.

* Graphics folder

  Some themes rely on _frames 1d.

* Scripts folder

  Since sm-ssc uses a different branch system, the old one is provided

  here for compatibility.

* Sounds folder

  No one should ever have to deal with missing sounds when importing a SM4

  theme. Ever.
