Re: FFR Suggestions

I know but it's far less accurate as an active users count... oh well, I guess it really doesn't matter ultimately.

Re: FFR Suggestions

Looking at the regions in the US, it kind of seems like they should be updated :P Great Lakes encompasses 13 states, while Southeast only has 2 states, and even a portion of Florida is taken out of it. It's obviously not something that's necessary, but it's just a thought.

Re: FFR Suggestions

I agree lol, and really it shouldn't be that hard to fix...

Similar thought, maybe we could have a breakdown of rank by state/province for US/Canada too? That'd be kinda cool (you'd have to make an option for people to select their state/province though, otherwise you couldn't determine who was where).

Re: FFR Suggestions

I don't know if this has been suggested or implemented (coz I don't see it) but it would be nice if we could sort by artist

[-zeroSKILL-]

Re: FFR Suggestions

+1,000 to sort by artist. Though not a necessary implementation, and I have already gone through and found all the artists songs I know through others means, to have an in game option would be amzin ;p

Re: FFR Suggestions

I had a big list of suggestions for the sort in an earlier post.
3-way toggle for each checkbox (show/hide/disabled), i.e. green checkmark/red X/nothing, would make for some better filter queries.
Sorting by PA could also be useful, i.e. show 10g and lower, so you can selectively clean up songs you can actually SDG.
The list is massive, really. A ton of things could be added.

Re: FFR Suggestions

ooo I got one.


Rather than having a Simfile Database, why don't we have a Queued Database, where all the songs in the queue are, that way the community can try them out and see whether the judges did a good job or not.

Re: FFR Suggestions

or...they can wait until the songs are in game and do the same thing ?_? like as if we need justification from the community to know whether or not we do our job right anyway

So if their opinions have effect on final simfile acceptance, it's essentially the same thing as just making all people in the community judge. Otherwise, it just will be early releases.

that way the community can try them out and see whether the judges did a good job or not.

By looking at batch notes and released ingame files anyone here can see these anyways.

Re: FFR Suggestions

So I figured I'd give it a shot to redo the regions in America. Some have new names, some stayed the same. I'd like feedback because some states I had a rough time putting in a perfect spot. Also, for "Center of America" region, I'd definitely like a different name xD maybe "Heart of America" or something like that.

Pacific: 5

~Washington
~Oregon
~California
~Hawaii
~Alaska

Rockys 8

~Montana
~Idaho
~Nevada
~Wyoming
~Utah
~Colorado
~Arizona
~New Mexico

Great Lakes: 7

~Minnesota
~Wisconsin
~Illinois
~Indiana
~Michigan
~Ohio
~Kentucky

Center of America: 6

~North Dakota
~South Dakota
~Nebraska
~Kansas
~Iowa
~Missouri

Gulf Coast: 6

~Texas
~Louisiana
~Mississippi
~Alabama
~Arkansas
~Oklahoma

New England: 6 (this one stayed the same)

~Maine
~New Hampshire
~Vermont
~Massachusetts
~Rhode Island
~Connecticut

Mid-Atlantic: 7

~New York
~Pennsylvania
~New Jersey
~Delaware
~Maryland (including Washington D.C.)
~Virginia
~West Virginia

South Atlantic: 5

~North Carolina
~South Carolina
~Georgia
~Florida
~Tennessee

Justin, if you'd like to look into maybe breaking down the providences of Canada, by all means :]

And of course, this was just a thought and I figured I'd show the staff an idea if they ever wanted to do it.

Re: FFR Suggestions

We could just use this for region designation within the United States:

I asked about adding in new regions months ago and I was told that the code is a mess from the old administration, so it wasn't worth it at the time. Maybe one of the admins would be willing to do that now, though.

Re: FFR Suggestions

also.

can something be done about support tokens? .-.

Last I saw, the requirements were decided on and Velocity said that he would have some code in place for them within a week. This was back in early July, though. We'd have to ask him about it.

Speaking of which, can we do something about Canada? While our population may be small, we have a lot of good players that could be separated into specific areas.
