Creating Weeks

Weeks have to be created manually currently, sorry.

The XML

Make the xml under ./data/weeks/weeks/. This seems complicated but trust me, it's quite easy to learn.

<week name="PICO" chars="pico,bf,gf" sprite="week3">
    <song>Pico</song>
    <song>Philly Nice</song>
    <song>Blammed</song>
</week>

The Week XML above is from Week 3. Your week xml will likely follow a similar format.

First goes the "parent node", <week>. That's where the options for the week are defined.

<week name="PICO" chars="pico,bf,gf" sprite="week3">

So far, possible options to set there are:

• name, which updates the title text for the week (usually on the top right in the Story Mode menu)
• chars, which controls what characters are shown when selecting the week (in the order of opponent,boyfriend,girlfriend, no spaces).
• sprite, which tells the engine what image to use for the week button (has to be at menus/storymenu/weeks/). When excluded, the xml filename will be used.

weeks.txt

There exists an optional text file you can use to sort the weeks. It goes under ./data/weeks/.
All you gotta do to order the weeks is just type their file names in the order you'd like:

week4
week2
week6

This example would order the weeks as Week 4 going first, Week 2 going second and Week 6 being last.

You can add comments to the list by using a pound sign (#) at the start of the line.

Song Node (<song>)

To make songs appear, you have to type them following this format:

<song>song-name</song>

The example above would make there be a song-name named song under the songs list.

(note that order is important, cause it'll follow in-game)

Difficulty Node (<difficulty>)

You do have control over which difficulties your week will have. It's as simple as making a difficulty node for each difficulty:

<difficulty name="Easy"/>
<difficulty name="Normal"/>
<difficulty name="Hard"/>
<difficulty name="Erect"/>
<difficulty name="Nightmare"/>

This would make the week have easy, normal, hard, erect and nightmare as difficulty options.

Custom difficulties are also supported. Just remember to have their image at menus/storymenu/difficulties/ with the name in lowercase (menus/storymenu/difficulties/erect for example).
