Engine Updates

Posted in Flash Flash Revolution on February 9th, 2011

Well, it’s been a long time coming for sure.

The Ocelot over here thought it would be funny to take time out of his typically interesting life to update the older Legacy engine for you . A few features (and fixes) from Velocity’s engine have been ported over, for those of you unfortunate enough to have lag issues on it:

- Replay manager: those of you using the old engine can now choose which replays you want to keep (rather than none at all)

- Favorites genre: now, you can save all of your favorite songs into a genre entirely controllable by you!

- Global frame offset: are songs off-sync for you? If so, you can adjust the offset of your engine to compensate (positive numbers make the song later, negative numbers make the song earlier)

- In-game timestamp: you now no longer need to show the FFR forums, or front page, or profile, or…whatever, to prove the date and time that you achieved that amazing Vertex Beta vROFL AAA. Just screen capture your results screen and you’ll have all the proof you need.

- AAA/FC icons have been recoded to properly display your AAAs and FCs (note that unrecorded AAAs added manually will display as a Full Combo).

Enjoy all of the fixes!

  3. edit: minus extreme lag on the StandAlone.. anyone else?

  4. The Games we played is no longer in the Arcade Genre you can still find it if you search in the songs list but you cant find it in the Arcade menu.

  5. Hang on I found The Games We Played it’s been moved to Classic…

  6. @supermoe:
    Things got moved around.

  7. Sorry to continue commenting a lot but Ive also had trouble loading songs in my favorites they wont load and all of the songs details are undefined.

  8. Nice update! :]

  9. I also noticed that you can’t select songs from the list.

  10. @supermoe1985, @Ziergdsx18:
    Should be fixed now.

  11. Wow, this is so awesome. Thank you so much Velo!

  12. Finally an update to the classic engine! I’m loving it now, less lag, more features! Keep up the good work!

  13. @Velocity:
    Yeah, it’s all good now. Thanks for such an awesome update. :D

  14. Still having trouble with the random song button, the min and max difficulty settings don’t seem to be working

  15. Also I’ve had a purchased song I didn’t buy come up in random

  16. And the favorites still don’t work in the Velocity Engine.

  17. @supermoe1985:
    Fixed that too.

  18. Is it possible to add a random in favorites or to have multiple pages in it?

  19. The listen to music button(next to the AAA, Diff, add to fav button) doesnt seem to work on the velo engine for the favorites genre, just comes up as undefined.

  20. @Hakulyte:
    Multiple pages has been fixed, I forgot to change the page code where my engine doesn’t use pages.

    @Plan_Bsk81127:
    Songs really don’t like being called from another genre. Menu songs in favorites is also fixed.

  21. I luv u guise

  22. Lulz you shoulda capitalized the “Skill” genre as you did all the other ones, nevertheless, sweet updates. Thanks Velo. <3

  23. favorites :O!

  26. sweet now i can put a favorite list of mines ohhh the possibilities are endless lol :)

  27. When I try to play a song on random within a certain difficulty range on the standalone, it chooses a song randomly but it is often outside the selected range. (ex: I’ll do 11-12 and get 9′s, etc)

  28. I freakin love you

  29. The Legacy standalone, not your engine.

  30. @rushyrulz:
    umm, that played back perfectly for me?

    @justin_ator:
    Looking into it.

  31. It reset the song difficulties I set the range to as well, if that means anything to you.

  32. The legacy engine won’t allow me to favorite Purchased songs. It just pops up as “Not Available” in the Favorites genre. Same with everyone else?

  33. Uhmmmm, I can only open the Velocity engine page, all the rest just keep saying loading, and it’s not recording my ranks/scores/credits/etc…

  34. the legacy engine really need the reset button :(

  35. Ugh..I can’t believe I’m missing out on this…

    Can’t wait till I get my PC next Friday :)

  36. Your engine works finally… and it doesn’t even lag on high quality. What’s going on here.

  37. @XXXsmittyXXX:
    Engine + Pixie Dust + Unicorns = Lagless

  38. Credit cap is still 40 on update legacy engine.

  39. Haha, when you said Legacy engine, I thought you meant the [http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/FFR_the_Game.php] thing. I was like, “What is this Favorites genre of which you speak?”

    Looks nice. Haven’t bug tested anything, but I’m sure it’s working smoothly. Great work.

  40. @rushyrulz:
    It shows 40, but that number means nothing, the credits you earn is done on server. So even if it shows 40, you can get up to 60.

    Though I’ll go fix it up.

    EDIT: Fixed.

  41. I can play songs that I haven’t purchased because they show up in the “Songs” list. I have a replay of Einstein-Rosen Bridge, but I never bought it o.o

    One’s that I can play that I haven’t bought: Einstein-Rosen Bridge, Momentary Life and Blue-Violet. I don’t have Document 13b either, but for some reason that one doesn’t show up on the list.

  42. Ack D; My favorites just went poof :|

  43. Every song I play crashes my google chrome browser about halfway through it. Any help?

  44. I’m continuously getting random lag spikes throughout songs in the Legacy engine. Can’t find a single reason for it. Closed everything I could and it still occurred. Is there some background checking while playing on the engine or something?

  45. Clicking on “Multiplayer” on the menu does nothing.
    How do I get to MP?

  46. This is on the Velocity engine, by the way.

  47. @~Zeta~:
    I avoided editing anything for gameplay. So nothing should have changed.

    @Goldenwind:
    There is no MP in Velocity engine. It’s not finished.

  48. Ahh, alright then.

    I’m VERY impressed with what’s been done. :) I’ve only ever made two FFR announcements on Facebook – one for its return, and one for this. I’ve never been so impressed with the game.

  49. Randoming 12-12 appears to not work some of the time. I don’t know if it’s trying to load an unaccessible song (like an old secret song I used to have but don’t have the credits anymore or something)

  50. @~Zeta~:
    I’m assuming this happens in the legacy engine. Not sure why, the code is the same for both engines.

  51. so about this replay manager.. how do you see the replays?

  52. http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/profile/DonnyHxC/replay

    Just type replay at the end of the url when looking at your profile.

  53. velocity, how do i add songs to favorites?

  54. i’m connected to http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/ffrndanotherway.swf but when i click a song it stays at 0% and there’s not a point to go on multiplayer b/c it won’t load past 0% either?

  55. i’m playing on a adobe flash player 9

  56. i’ve tried all the links provided above and none of them load songs on the stand alone engine?

  57. anyone else having problems? refer to this forum thread
