FFR Suggestions

[SK8R43]

I dont know how viable this is since i know nothing about coding, but would it be possible to make Rate replays separate from regular replays? Or somehow make it so you know its a Rate replay without having to click it to search for Rate replays?

resizable, transparent accuracy bar (like no grid lines either) would be cool so it kinda just like flashes on either side of the screen when early/late

[special666]

I think that something like a "Groove Radar" for the game, or at least implement the NPS (the one that can be seen in the song list section of the website) to be game would be a cool idea

[Lambdadelta]

Perhaps we could change the Stepmania sub-forum name to "Etterna" or "Other Rhythm Games" since Stepmania hasn't been the status quo for several years now and is kind of misleading to new users.

Unless of course it's simply being kept this way because it is not possible / difficult or for some other unstated reason.

The sticky thread in the forums that covers this is rarely checked by first-time players, and will reduce threads about "off-sync charts", "why are some songs blue", and "please re-sync/fix [song name]".

Legacy Genre Note:

This genre contains all the songs that were added to FFR in its early stages of development. The files are completely composed of blue notes, and are, in many cases, not synchronized properly with the song. Due to the fact that these songs are part of FFR's history, they will not be changed or fixed. Thank you for your understanding.

[] Do not show this message again.

I'm on a roll, figured I'd knock this out too since I agree with it lol.


Sorry about the double post, wanted to keep the two ideas separate. Don't get on me for it please >.>

I don't think many people have said this yet, but thank you both kayla and velocity for making this event possible!!
I had so much fun doing this. combined with a bit (a lot) of frustration :3

*whispers* psss....wrong thread hehu :3

[yo man im awesome]

Along with my idea for full site custom themes for variation, I think we should have an ongoing tournaments sidebar.

This could go below the Profile Chat bar, and it would display either name, or a shortened banner of some sort clearly depicting that specific tournament.

This way people won't forget about their tournaments, it's a nice addition, and, well, the left sidebar still isn't quite full yet.

Also, maybe try allowing the ability to have tourney hosts set up automated warning messages show up when you have, say 24hrs left in a round? Sort of like the automated poll close option, except it would send out a message to all players in that specific tourney. (Host can list all names in a "recipants" box, like with PMs.

This might explain why so many newbs (no offense) miss the OP. I think it's more intuitive for the first post they see to be the OP.

That can easily just be fixed by making it show only the first post.

Profile reporting is currently a veteran only feature.

Linux

Now, open your chosen Flash Player, click File > Open, then copy and paste one of the following links. I prefer the Velocity engine, but you may prefer the Legacy engine instead.

Velocity Engine: http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/...y/ffr_Wide.swf
Legacy Engine: http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/ffrndanotherway.swf

If you experience lag, uninstall your current FP, and install a different version.

Thank you so much for helping me.
