FFR Suggestions

[SeraphinEveles]

i have a great suggestion. since tokens are no longer being counted in the normal levelranks page, they no longer count on a user's page for FC/AAA. so, since that's the case, we need a separate set of stats on user pages for token songs.

Justin isn't saying that everyone in profile chat has to play MP, he just wants that chat room directed into the MP chat room so that people will be more willing to try a game or two... if it's laggy then people can just stick to chatting there.

I'm not sure if we need them but there's a drop down link on all profiles for Token Level Ranks?

[SeraphinEveles]

but thats for ranks. i meant like the bars on everyone's page that shows the "X/X" AAA'd and FC'd, but for token songs, since they dont count in the current listings.

i.e. this:

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I'll forward them to the admins so they can talk about them.

[rushyrulz]

What do you mean you'll forward them to the admins? The admins are perfectly capable of viewing this thread too.

[Netjet!]

Well yeah, but I just meant that I'd message them about some of the ideas so they can come here. Sorry.

[bmah]

Yeah, I was wondering about that too. That sort of wording implies that there's little quality time that the mods can bother to spend on the community, which I hope and am sure isn't true.

edit: ninja'd...alrighty Netjet

Sadly, I'm unable to read. I get Net to call me on skype and read out the all the new post for me.

This also explains why I have no idea what you people wanted on the last page, it was very jumbled thoughts. Both Net and I were unable to determine exactly what you wanted.

Is there a way to hide the combo counter in the corner?... It distracted me a few times playing a tourney song because I thought I saw it change color and when I looked I lost focus and dropped goods like a mother ****er.

Also, is there a way to hide the score counter at the bottom? I find myself looking at it to see if it's even or odd, and it makes me screw up a lot.

It's my fault I know but it would be cool to have an option.

I just had too.

For the score counter, there isn't.

Upgrade MP lobby so it can replace profile chat. That was my suggestion last page.

Ok this got buried..

How about the ability to scroll through replays by dragging the blue progress bar at the top? It'd make analyzing files much easier :l

[justin_ator]

holy shit this would be epic but probably effing awful to code:

Make Video/Profile chat into the MP lobby.

Allowing users to play MP through the chat link would be absolutely nuts in terms of getting popularity and numbers in for MP. The real problem then becomes that Velo needs to get the two MP's running together so they play on the same MP network (I hope you get what I'm saying).

[Go_Oilers_Go]

That would be like... DOSSAR LAGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!

[justin_ator]

You wouldn't play MP IN the chat...
I mean, you don't play MP in the current lobby, do you?

It's not possible. And no amount of code would make it.

See above.

Adding video to anything currently on FFR is also impossible. Combining multiplayer and profile chat together is also near-impossible.

???????????, you have absolutely no idea how things work. But I don't blame you, I don't explain anything.

Start game lobby, play FFR. FFR and Chat at the same time. Also, you can play FFR while in the lobby on my engine atleast. DOSSAR LAGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!

I already replied to this. It's impossible.

EDIT: nice ninja skills velo.

About that suggestion regarding not being able to rewind through a replay. What makes this not possible to do, considering how KBO has fast forward/rewinding capabilities on their replays?

Again, I know little about coding, so please bear with me.

Why thank you.

FFR core was designed 8 years ago, nothing has changed about how notes are spawned since then. The game doesn't know where the arrows need to be placed until 1 second before you have to hit them. So the arrows aren't even on field to change where they appear and are removed from the game field once you hit them or miss the note. The arrow is also removed from the note array so after you spawn a note, you can never re-spawn it without reloading the level.

In order to make a system where you could change the position of the replay, it would require writing FFR from scratch.

TL;DR: The note spawning code is garbage and it's impossible.
