Re: FFR Suggestions
 

Alright I see how that works now. However, for something like the situation I presented, it just isn't very helpful unless I know what the AAA score for that particular song is. And If I'm setting an autofail on it I probably don't. The FFR perfect project would help with this but it is incomplete and it would be annoying to look up the thread every time change songs.

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

This suggestion is merely to fix a cosmetic feature, but the progress bar of many songs isn't all that representative. Quite often, the progress bar would indicate that a song is near its end, when really it might not've even reached the halfway point.

Not all songs are like this. Some of them actually have a working bar that shows a correct progression from start to finish (where the end is -actually- the end of the song!).

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

I had a bar that finished like 2 minutes before the song did. XD Although I'm unsure how the bar works so I can't even suggest a way to fix it.

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

some mp3s weren't cut to the duration of the chart when they were put in and the progress bar uses the mp3
for instance, play Humanism

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

If you are going for a AAA all you have to do is put a 1 in every autofail field and you will fail if you get anything but a AAA.

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

The progress bar really gets the last note frame number, and uses that. I can't even access the mp3, let alone the length :p

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

You could use the last frame of the sound layer, but it wouldn't make much difference. Or is that information lost after swf export?

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

Nope, the only problem I can see with the bar and the time it takes to fill up is on a longer song, it would cause a issue where the pixel increase every frame would be to small and would glitch out, but that's a flash issue which this already is.

The converter also generates a Dummy layer that extends far past the end of the song.

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

Howabout a new genre: Recent Additions? That would work a lot better than just stuffing all the new songs into Funk until they're sorted. They could stay in Recent for 2-3 weeks, then they could be properly sorted.

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

I was about to say...it would indeed be awesome to have a "most recent songs" list for the engine, not in regards to what songs you've just played (although that would be cool too), but the newest songs that have been added to FFR.

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

Yea I think that's a wonderful idea and I'll take a look at editing the table structure to accomodate.

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

About the miss glitch. Would it be possible to fix if you made it impossible to get late goods and beyond? Anything past the three perfect windows would be a miss. And as soon as you got the miss it would make the next note the target note you are trying to hit and not be looking at the past note.

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

I could, but that would really mess up things.

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

Just make it as an alternative game mode. That way more advanced players could use it to avoid miss glitch but have a more difficult time because late goods would be a miss. Maybe you could even get it to work by just having misses send the input to the next note even without shortening the window, but I'm assuming it already does this and that it needs to be shorter.

Or at least just try it as an experiment.

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

In the main engines, there seemed to be an implimented feature for showing the songs you have FC'd and AAA'd set up in the engine (as icons next to the songs)...although it is not currently updating. Seemed like a decent idea to have a quick reference to whether or not I FC'd or AAA'd a song without always pulling up the level stats and closing the browser again to play a song. Would be cool if that was put into action again.

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

That would be awesome.

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

Uh, dude, I already said it a long time ago, and it's also in the FAQ section (mirabile dictu).

Perfect - 550
Good - 275
Average - 55
Miss - -310
Boo - -20

Keep in mind that this takes into account the in-game scores you get for each step, and this way does a lot fewer steps than Velocity's version, even though it's the same thing.

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

I just said this with a "new songs" genre

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

Except since "new songs" is a temporary thing, it doesn't seem right to add it as a "genre" category. I think it'd be better fit with some other sort of scheme, like a dropdown list or something.

Re: FFR Suggestions
 

The songs would just be in that genre for the month and then swItch out the songs to the right genre and start over again with the next month


Also, bring back gamebling if you can plz, that was awesome
