FFR - Song Selection Improvements

**Goldenwind** · 11-2-2009, 11:16 PM

A box where you may type the song you're looking for.
(Eg, type "hell", all songs with the substring "hell" show up)

Clicking on you opponent's "loaded circle" in multiplayer will select the same song as them, clicking it again will load.

Markers beside the songs to denote FC and AAA. (Could be an option, as this would take more database accessing, loading time, etc)

I love coming on FFR and playing with friends, but selecting a song is really painful. The songname list is an improvement, but having to find the name alphabetically, resort (The sort inverts it self after every selection), the way that releasing the mouse on the scrollbar will shift it (Makes scrolling more tedious)... it's just not fun. Imagine just having to type "runny" and getting a list of 1-3 songs (I'm not going to count, lol) that match it, and clicking on that.

This game would be so much more enjoyable with these things to make it more fluid.

For thread discussion, note flaws in my ideas above, or make your own suggestions.

search box would be cool and its been suggested

clicking opponents circle would be cool and its been suggested

markers are already in game but just for beta users

Clicking the circle might be a problem for some users that have to scroll down to see the circle, and therefore need to scroll up again to see the screen. If they only take .1 seconds to load the song there may be a problem (Yes, I know that this is a ridiculously small amount of users, but you asked for flaws :P).

Other than that, I think that they're good ideas. As stated by Dr. T, FC and AAA symbols are a subscription plus.

Maybe a sample of the song when it's highlighted? D:
Am I in the rite spot?
