Features I'd like to see in FFR

[Khenra]

This could be a thread where everyone contributes his/her own points. Some of mine are:

- Ability to turn off music in song select / song results screen.
- Ability to track scores on secret / token songs.
- A button to exit a song (instead having to wait / mash boos to quit). I realise this would trivialize some skill tokens.

Those are my main points. Any comments are welcome. What are some features you would like to see?

This is in the wrong forum. For future reference, post any requests you have for the game in this forum.

As far as what you've said:

Turning off music in song select/song results was in the beta, and is more than likely going to be in the newest engine.

The ability to track scores on token songs is available to Elite FFR Supporters (and soon to be known as "Veterans".

The third one has not been implemented, but I'm sure it has been suggested.

I'd like for the "no songs longer than 8 minutes and 53 seconds" bug to be fixed but I don't know what that entails. I want to play a 2 hour ffr song and I want it to be in the levelranks

[TC_Halogen]

That is an issue with Flash itself, not just FFR (flash can't play more than 16k frames).

[Khenra]

I'm sorry for posting in the wrong forum. I'm obviously a clueless noob. Feel free to move it to the right forum or close it.

Thanks for your answers!

[awein999]

so it will pretty much always be an issue in FFR?

[TC_Halogen]

I couldn't tell you. Some people have gotten files that are longer to convert, but they had no music files.

[jimerax]

I liked exit button idea.

and moved this thread.

[duddychuck@yahoo.com]

I really dont like how in the level ranks there's no option to show the songs from lowest level to highest, it would be soo helpful imo

[TC_Halogen]

There is a way to do it, but I can't remember the link. I had mentioned something about this a while ago (before the site went down), but it got shunned because everyone had a link that you could use.

Personally, I'd like to be able to sort by difficulty for convenience.

In the dropdown list in the main FFR game, there are some weird things going on that I hope may be fixed:
- every time you return to the main menu after playing a game, the order on the dropdown list is switched (i.e. A to Z, then it appears from Z to A); have the list order remain static.
- songs that begin with lowercase letters are for some reason categorized apart from songs that begin with uppercase letters (these songs also typically get less attention when you're looking for songs in the dropdown list). Have song names listed alphabetically in order without distinguishment between uppercase-lettered songs and lowercase-lettered songs.
- a few songs are completely out of order (name-wise and difficulty-wise) at the end of the dropdown list. Put these in proper order.

- Levels have to be hand made a certain way to bypass the limit. I have gotten a 14min song to play correctly. The sync wasn't the best, but I didn't try to hard.

- Added in the FFR beta, along with my Engine.
- Current Subs and Veterans have this ability.
- Include in my engine.

- The sort method isn't reset when you return to the menu, and the code flips it each time you enter the menu screen.
- I'll see what I can do about it.
- When flash does a sorting on the list, it sometimes forgets how to count and the alphabet.

- A play last song button in case you play something then you figure out your settings are wrong boo out etc.
- Adding Purchased songs into the S list (make them disappear if not purchased)

- Fixing the FC/AAA icon on songs that have a FC/AAA.
Example:



It's showing that i FC'd Nitrx but i AAA'd it.
It's showing that i AAA'd Cutting Circle but not that i FC'd.

- Adding a feature that would categorize songs in the S.
Example: Listing all songs that are not AAA'd etc. and making Random work with it.

Edit: There's actually many threads with suggestions about features. I'm sure that if you search a little you can find interesting ideas.

There is, you just have to edit the url a bit. Go to your level ranks, at the top, click on rank, level, scored, or play. Then once it reloads the page, go to the top and put in a 4 where the # in the url is. 4 will sort it by difficulty.

4=difficulty

8=averages
9=misses
10=boos
11=combo

Great suggestion, was going to post that myself. I don't know how you got the AAA/FC buttons on the list, but I assume it's a subscriber-only thing?

Is there any way to play the BETA engine? And if I can, will it record my scores?

Awesome, thanks

The ability to implement custom skins.

if you mean noteskins, i dont see why since its would take away the originality of FFR by giving it optional skins like SM.

I have to agree with Plan. But maybe it could have different color options like Stepmania where it has Vivid, Flat, Solo etc.

This actually wouldn't be too bad. it can test players skills since the default noteskin for FFR is color coordinated, whereas other skins such as those are usually one colored, making it harder to read.
