Re: FFR Suggestions
 

Patashu posted a guide somewhere around here...an in-game tut would lead to a bunch of half-assed efforts.

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

Make the mute button mute the crappy results screen music.

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

Amen to that, rushy. I've been wanting that for a while now lol

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

I think there should be a section in the profiles for your own FFR related goals that automatically update because updating them manually in a random thought gets annoying after a while.

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

There is one. It's the big stats display directly under your avatar. Tracks your GTS, AAAs, FCs, Tier Points, Games Played, Tokens, SKill Tokens, anything you could want!

The idea of programming it to let you pick some random number of each you'd like to -aim- for and then be constantly checking up on you to see when you've met them and what...check off a box for you? Seems like a monumental waste of coding time and processing time.

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

Well, let me at the php and I can do it rofl...

Seriously, I'd love to add some features to the site.

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

Which addresses one of the issues. I shudder at the thought of a function that needed to constantly check every user's goals every single time they logged a score just to see if they needed to check off a box.

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

Well, no. It would do that on levelranks.php, like the ones already set up for AAAs/FCs.

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

I was thinking this too, it would just be updated at the same time as AAA/FC/TP counts are.

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

Which brings me to another thought, why don't we just simply code a button into the profiles where when it is pressed it automatically updates ALL your stats at once (AAA/FC, and TP, plus whatever else we might add). This would eliminate having to load two (or potentially more) separate pages to update all of your stats. If I could code I'd be all over it already, as I've thought about this multiple times already.

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

You click the "Click to see my levelranks" button, and it updates...

Seems like this functionality exists.

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

TP are separate though, are they not?

I just was thinking about potentially what else could be added into that, if say they weren't necessarily things that you would think to update through your levelranks page.

I don't know, I guess just scrap what I said.

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

I don't know if this can be possible... but maybe veterans can have 100 replays instead of 50 :3

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

oh bby;) yes. I like this.

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

I do like the idea of users with Veteran titles having increased functionalities, but I'm not sure if replays are something that should be different between the two usergroups - especially seeing as how you have to meet account requirements now, rather than just being able to access it by paying a small fee.

That is definitely something that Zageron should think about, though.

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

Yeah 50 replays does seem a bit low. I'd love an increase :)

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

Compared to the max of 5 that you could save back in the day, 50 is TONS imo.

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

I also agree with this too. Considering you were only able to save 5 while the rest reset - 50 is a huge improvement. Save what is incredibly meaningful to you, and purge the rest.

Suggestion for replays: is it possible to make a checkbox that allows you to select multiple replays for deletion?

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

Here's one: How about we make credits a bit more useful, and take a few of the Misc/Dance2 songs and put them in Secret? Maybe place some 12's above Karma to give reason to having obscene amounts of credits. :)

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

I do not understand how that gives credits a greater purpose/useful since you will not be using them; only saving them.
Imo it'll just make credits a bit more valuable , and we might not want to waste them as much; being that we would need a set amount of credits just to play the secret songs.

Maybe we could add another function, or a new item in the shop.
Possibly some note skins. -wink
Or, maybe some ffr skins so everything we see isn't blue. -nudge
Maybe someone should make a thread about some ffr skins and notes. -snicker, giggle, roflolmao

I am a bit bored of Planet Karma, though. It would be interesting to see a new song that is just as precious as Karma.
The only use that credits seem to be used for nowadays are mainly to run tourneys, and pay DS for a badass avatar.

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

VALUABLE, that was the word I was looking for. It's 1 in the morning, and I just got home from an 8 hour car ride; don't judge me.

But yea, I think there should be a good reason to hoard credits, other than for getting an epic profile.

roflololmfao

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

Roflolmaofllolmao
You should consider getting an 'epic profile' yourself. You are getting pretty 'awesome' at ffr.

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

Justin_Ator is actually in the process of making me one now. Hopefully I'll have enough to pay him in gratitude, for the new one and the current one, since he didn't ask for anything back then. I still feel I should make it up to him. I should be racking in a few more credits from Middie's Tourney soon. (BY THE WAY MIDDIE'S TOURNEY HAS BEEN GREAT FOR D3, COMPETITION-WISE. GOOO DOUBLE-OVERTIME)

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

This needs to happen; like right now.

Also, to add to this idea; is it possible to code the ffr replays so that we may post them on Facebook, and it'll appear as is? Buttons and everything.
Not that it is a big-deal, it would just be really neat; kinda like what happens when you post a youtube link.

Edit: lmfao, just thought of something really retarded.
Make it so that you have to waste credits in order to profile vote. lululul cause they matter.

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

Bring back that Punch Tass thing, except have a bunch of variations, like Punch Doss and Punch Synth. Also, it should cost more credits and give them back more rarely (so that it acts as a credit sink to the community).

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

Yeah, and add a counter on each of those peoples' profiles, that way we can say 'Hey, Sprite- has been punched 12,549 times!' and laugh about the fact it doesn't compare with nois-or-e's 34,619 times. Just more fun random useless stuff, you know?

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

Gambling hall.

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

Oh god.

Yes.

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

replace the ffr characters with touhou characters~

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

Nope. I'd be down for integrating digimon into the system though.

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

do itttt

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

I'm a big boy, I can take it ;D

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

This brings up a pretty cool idea, actually.

You could do touhou, digimon, pokemon, and whatever else you want and have people use their credits to buy different sets. People could buy the ones their interested in, and, for a little while, it might help keep credit counts lower, and give people a reason to use them.

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

+1

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

Use the levelranks system in the token levelranks please. >:

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

+1, really good idea. Though for me, pokemen, digimen etc are of no interest. Could hold an open submission and see what ideas people come up with? The difficulty would be creating the reactions for the different credit-gets.

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

buy vrofl for 500k.

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

I like the punch <user> on profile idea.

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

Way too easily accessible at that price.

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

Maybe for people who can consistently win or place in tourneys >.>

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

I was actually thinking that we could hold up a contest, and have the community redesign the current ffr characters.

I want the ffr characters to go from

to

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

To build upon the added avatar options.
We could add a custom avatar shop. I don't know if this is even possible, but it would work like the initial d license system.
You could buy a basic look and for a high credit count you could buy other items for your avatar. Almost have your game avatar reflect you and your style in a way.
I dont know if its any good, but its just a thought.

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

Fix'd. Looks high but if people help each others it's not so bad.

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

Considering these characters are copyrighted, we need to get permission from the author/company to use them officially on this site, and probably not free.

So we need to design original ones.

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

Well, wouldn't this work perfectly with the BW skin contest? Maybe incorporate it in?

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

That is the reason why vROFL shouldn't be purchasable in the first place -- people can just gather together and get it for someone who really wants it.

It's much better sitting as an attainable challenge; it's a memento of a hard-earned feat (whether it be the official tournament, gamewhore contest, or the more recent 1 billion point challenge).

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

Creating a base of basic and original ffr 'characters' and purchasing items to go with for in-game is actually a really good idea. It would take some hard work to manage how every individual item would go with the current stages of character disappointment/satisfaction, so that any combination of any amount of pre-bought items would still be represented accurately.
Making a limit for say, one item of head-gear, shirt, pants, accessory + eyes/mouth/hair could lessen that workload. But this I could see as a feasible alternative than trying to get licensed characters images permitted for use on a not-for-profit website. . .

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

Er, but then that entire group of people have to lose 5mil (or whatever) together - and only one gets vrofl. I'm a little skeptical that people would go this far for a friend, considering only the biggest tournaments ever get anywhere near that number of credits. The benefit of having it purchased (as opposed to secret or whatever) is that the credits disappear, so you have to decide whether you really want it. Remember that 5 million credits is worth about 250 billion grandtotal, and that only seems like a small amount to people who are amazing at placing in tournaments or making art... it's a huge amount for anyone else. I kind of like the idea since it would have an element of loss/regret unlike the other ways of unlocking the token.

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

The token shouldn't be given any other requirements considering the only requirement in the past is that you had to place 8th or better in an official.

People should be grateful now that there's a new, accessible requirement in the first place.

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

250billion is not small, to anyone.
50 billion gt is enough to unlock vROFL.


Edit: what halo said

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

This is off the current topic, but I believe we are always looking to bring in new people.
Is there any way of finding someone to update the FFR Facebook page more often. The last time it was updated by the Leader was March. I do believe if we had a working and updated FB page it would help bring in more people.
Even if its just posting the new songs weekly and keeping up to date on new tourneys.
I volunteer to do it if you want.
Im just looking to expand the community.

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

you misunderstood :P he said 5 million credits would be small for artists and tournament gurus. It's obvious that 250 billion points is a 10+ year job.

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

I understand; I just want to point out that 5 million credits is not small/easy to obtain.
For most people, 150k credits is beyond reach. But, 5 million credits? Easy?
I'd say that 5 million credits would probably be obtainable by artist and tourney gurus; I wouldn't say it would be easy/small amount for them.

And, to go along with what raskanally said; and I've said this before.
Is it possible to make ffr replays run on facebook? The way youtube links work?
I'm sure there are many poeple who have quit ffr after it went down, and don't even know it's back up.
And some that do know it's back up, but don't have much motivation. But when those no-life facebook stalkers see us wrecking it up through replays, you can be sure that they're gonna wanna try. Either it be by nostalgia, or just wanting to beat their friend.
And, there are many more people who aren't even aware of ffr.

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

support tokens plz.

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

I suggest a button on Prochat that allows you to send a friend request to the person you wants to be friends with. So that I don't have to get out of prochat go to the profile and add em then go back on prochat.

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

lol I just wonder how many credits the whole of FFR has together? Like 200 Million at most? I'd be pretty surprised if it was something of 1 Billion.
Also, I agree with Halogen. It should be a HARD EARNED token, not some "LET'S MAKE PR0FILES AND SELL LEM0N4DE TO GET vROFL!1!!!1one!exclamationmark"

Would be interesting to see a Digit below "Total Members on FFR: Some hundred million players" that says "Total Credits ever earned by FFR players: XXX,XXX,XXX tokens!"

Edit: Also, just redesign the characters for Bwebb, and add a character slot called "Avatar" that shows your avatar instead of characters".

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

I lol'd.

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

There's an avatar slot in the Velocity engine already so I'm guessing there should be one in Blackwebb.

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

Lol its called New Tab ;p

Re: FFR Suggestions

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

I don't use the velo engine, so idfk.

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

I suggest a new engine. Everyone I've used all lags up a lot. Even though it can be stable..for least five minutes some days more than others. Computer and internet 100% not the problem.

Message me if you know a 100% guaranteed solution.

Windows 7 Blk Ed.
AMD Phenom II X4 3.6ghz can OC to 4.0ghz
4 GB Gskill ram Gauged at 1333mhz
AMD ATI Radeon HD 5770 XXX Blk Ed. 1GB

Comcast 10mb cable

Tried all these solutions:

Standalone
Windows Classic
Higher and Lower resolutions
All browsers

Think that's all I've tried at least.

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

New engine. **** why didn't I think of that.

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

ROFLMFAO I lol'd so hard at this.

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

Id like to see a system for rating files/stepcharts that are already ingame.

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

There is something wrong with your computer if you're getting consistent lag on a flash 9 standalone.

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

With specs like those, there's no reason for you to be struggling to run FFR. Do malware/virus scans to make sure that there's nothing bogging down your computer.

Gamebooster might be of use to you as well.

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

You mean, like difficulty?

Stargroup came up with this over on KBO and that's like a minuscule portion of their whole difficulty alg

k * (n^2*t^2-0.4n^2*t+0.0375n^2-nt^2+0.55nt-0.06n-0.1t+0.015)/(n^2*t-0.05n^2-nt+0.1n)

and because I have absolutely no idea atm how to do regression on quadratic plane curves and get something accurate, and I don't have access to all the DBs with the song data, I can't really propose that I for one could do something like that. I did try to half-ass one based on note density, time, and artificial difficulty (back when that was my john for not having SkellyBones AAA'd) which didn't work very well.

Link to KBO thread - http://www.keybeatonline.com/forums/...ead.php?t=3539

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

Unfortunately, I think he meant rating what each individual person thinks of a simfile once it's put ingame.
Which I think will just cause problems so I'm against it.

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

lol

I'll scan the computer again to check, but seems everything should be bleeping fine. Also will check out this game booster deal.

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

Game booster is useless. It's a low graphics flash game ffs, game booster is just a program people use to try and make themselves better at the game.

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

Not worth me making a thread about, but what is this?

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

That is an arrow

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

AHAH! I totally didn't notice that, I must have left that there yesterday. Whoops.
Nice find.

Edit: Gone.

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

don't remove it :(

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

Try not having pr0n up. It's better for playing the game anyway, because you can hear the sound.

Though seriously, do you run Virus Scans/Defragment your computer ever? That seriously would fix it. :|

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

Mine lags too. Apparently it's because we run FFR with flash 10, and using a standalone with flash 9 is better.

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

When updating your signature, I think that when you press "preview signature" it should also tell you if you're siggy is too big. That way it's easier to tell yourself if it's too big/ if you've downsized the siggy enough.

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

Copypasta from "Waiting For Player"s profile

"RB_Killer is right. You lost MP level to me for entering and then leaving my room while I was playing BB evo which resulted in a win. About 4 people did that during I was playing BB evo and it increased my MP level almost at least two bars extra."

Someone fix this if it hasn't been already.

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

Game-booster actually closes some harder to find processes that can possibly consume memory -- I was using it on my (Kayla's) Compaq Presario and had just about no lag while playing. Obviously, it's only my experience. Some people don't have their problems alleviated, others do.
