Re: Life Bar + Autofail Suggestions

something less sophisticated as this has been on my list for a really long time now. especially as someone who uses 1x and screencut, i can't even keep track of my PA if i wanted to, and that sucks.

so... yea. i definitely plan to get something LIKE this done... but, as it hasn't gotten done in months already, don't expect it any time soon.

Alrighty. Well thanks for takin' a look.

Re: Life Bar + Autofail Suggestions

I like this idea a lot, but I think unless you are trying to SDG something, a lifebar-like bar should be used, not a bar cut into multiple segments. A bar more like the one on your profile that shows how many of the songs you've AAAd.

Re: Life Bar + Autofail Suggestions

I would find that so entirley distracting that it would just accelerate my losing due to whatever autofail setting I made that was being displayed.

Re: Life Bar + Autofail Suggestions

I think this would be as distracting as the accuracy/combo display already is... =/

Devonin you dont count because you dont even play the game
XD.
Anywas but yeah i support this. but nistead of it being on the side at ALL times maybe you see it when the song starts and then it becomes transparent or whatever.
But if you get a good it comes back for a few seconds to show you where you're at.

Mans0n, don't troll.

That would be even more complex to code, and even more distracting to the eye. If it is just popping up when you hit a good, how is it any different from the fact that the word 'Good' pops up when you hit a good?

I'd only want to see this as the display of your current accuracy stats shoved off in a corner, and only if you had the option to disable its display. For that matter, I'd rather also have the option to hide my combo and accuracy popups too.

Causes anxiety. Causes adrenaline. Causes lactose. If this option was available...

I would turn the combo off, but keep the accuracy popup. Or, make accuracy pop up elsewhere.

God, I can so use this on some FGOs. =/

Like those chaotic, hard to understand pattern mash-ups in a certain FGO V-snares song.

Re: Life Bar + Autofail Suggestions

Good idea but a little bit too messy/space-consuming.

Why not instead add an option you can toggle on/off that puts a "good counter" in one of the corners.

Something that simply shows you exactly how many goods you have so far (just a number displayed, no bars). Otherwise, i support this idea, ive boo'd out way too many times during jumps cause i thought i saw a good when i really didn't.


Another way more complicated idea i've had would be an autofail option that fails you if it's deemed impossible for you to beat your previous best score by any means . This would eliminate the need to figure out your previous best scores, and help for songs that you mashed/haven't FC'd yet. Of course this would probably be really hard to code.

devonin said that something that would involve an ingame calculation of individual stats would be too heavy on the database...

hence, I think it should be a subscribers only feature. WUT

Re: Life Bar + Autofail Suggestions

That would be incredibly calculation heavy to code. It would have to compare the potential max score to your best score individually each and every time you hit an arrow. That would bog down so fast it would make your head swim. It isn't a "If everyone could do it, the site would lag" it's a "I can't see how it could possibly do that and not lag the song so bad as to make it unplayable."

Re: Life Bar + Autofail Suggestions

This reminds me of (Oni) mode in DDR where you have the battery that makes that loud annoying sound everytime you get a good or less o.o

[sumzup]

Re: Life Bar + Autofail Suggestions

As I said, I think a counter is definitely the most realistic option. Also, I don't know about the rest of you, but I don't really find the combo/accuracy distracting at all; in fact, it's really helpful.
