In The Groove 3 Encore

About:

What was once an essentially-finished "beta" release of the official ITG3 theme, originally made for OpenITG by Lightning and ported by AJ Kelly, is now taken over/altered by me (DarkBahamut162) to work with all major SM5 versions/forks with many new bells and whistles.

This theme is blue-based, sleek, and full of neon outlines that glow - probably one of the most visually striking themes available. A true tribute to the best rhythm game Konami killed.

Its sources have been displayed further down below.

Supports:

🟢 Project OutFox** (all)<br> 🟢 ITGmania (all)<br> 🔴 StepMania 5* (~5.0.4)<br> 🟡 StepMania 5* (5.0.5+)<br> 🟢 StepMania 5* (5.0.11+)<br> 🔴 StepMania 5.1.0a* (aka 5.2)<br> 🟡 Etterna* (other)

🟢 = Fully Functional<br> 🟡 = Functional (some critical features missing in engine)<br> 🔴 = Not Functional

* .mp4 files might not play correctly. This theme utilizes those. Make sure the engine is new enough to display those properly.<br> ** On version 0.4.17 to 0.4.18.1, one might need to switch one's VideoRenderer to OpenGL as GLAD breaks the graphics after playing one round.

Theme Version Check:

ITGmania is the only engine that enables version checking.<br> It requires HttpAllowHosts to have ",api.github.com" listed inside Save/Preferences.ini.<br> This needs to be done by hand as the engine forbids automatic addition for security reasons.

The Theme Version can be displayed in the following colors:<br> 🟢 The version is current<br> 🟡 The version has been updated within the same day<br> 🔴 The version is outdated by more than a day<br> ⚪ The version can't be checked (default if not using ITGmania)

Since this theme is being updated periodically: Clone or download it with GitHub Desktop or similar ways.<br> If anything broke or isn't working correctly, please report it ASAP via GitHub Issues here so it can be fixed as soon as possible.

Changes:

I could have actually forked it but I didn't. My reasoning was that it wasn't going to be ITG3 anymore but it was being turned into ITG3Encore (something else while starting off using the same code).
