However, please add proper credits for the song authors / sim artists, or remove my files from this engine. It's simply a pet peeve of mine.

Please understand that this is an engine in the fetal stage that just got aborted.

Everything you see is a raw conversion, with a few hyperlinks as a website.

As it stands, to credit every file is something that seems unlikely to be assessed for some time. In the mean time, it would seem as though Tarrik has given priority to you.

Because some people are better at FFR than SM. The files in FFR themselves have a difficulty limit, you can only skillboost so much playing FFR itself. BUT if you have some harder files, such as the ones on this engine (Especially with rates ;D) - Then you have a better chance of skillboosting. Especially if you're more suited to FFR timing than Stepmania.

not working here either

Are you pasting the link as the engine link? If so that's not how it works. R^3 XMLs are used by pasting that xml link IN the regular FFR R^3 engine itself, under the options window.

It's too bad FFR doesn't just adopt raw scoring and integrate harder files into the actual game instead of having to make custom engines to help develop skills. Heaven forbid we actually throw in more files comparable to Death Piano . The music rate function was a great addition I admit, and this idea is good for players sticking to FFR I suppose. It's a shame my R^3 runs so bad, otherwise I'd probably enjoy using this new engine

I honestly use Legacy for this engine. It's a pain in the ass compared to Ez-Mode R^3 to sort through files, but it's what runs best on my computer lol

off topic, but have you looked into anything like this?

This is likely because Skype uses hardware acceleration properly, and flash does not. When Skype is "activated" your video card would turn itself into high power mode to run whatever was necessary for Skype, when the notification is over the video card returns to low power mode.

If you have an NVidia video card, you can find your standalone executable and register it into the profiles area in the NV Control Panel. Reduce the prerendered frame count to 1, and force high performance mode.

This may help, it may not. (If you use an Intel Embeded graphics system or an ATI card, I don't know how to force high performance modes. )

Thank you so much!!! If anyone else has frame rate issues on FP10/11, I highly recommend trying this out!

In dxdiag, I noticed directx hardware acceleration was enabled by default. So, I downloaded the DirectX Control Panel 9.0c, and unchecked "Use Hardware Acceleration" on the Direct3D and DirectDraw tabs. I have so many frames now, I have no idea what to do with them all

Here to stay. OP overhauled.

Currently writing up a google docs form for song/pack suggestions.
