Re: FFR Suggestions
He's suggesting that instead of having four songs (that's including veteran songs) released per week, that there should be a song released per day (I'm assuming that's what he meant). Now, for the double credits, I'm guessing he's suggesting that there should be an event where the credits are doubled just for that event. And for promoting songs...I have no idea to be honest x|...

1. Another event with more songs being are released similar to like Newvember, or the 12 days of FFRMas in years passed where a new song was given per day. 2. Maybe a day where you earn double credits similar to like some game that gives double exp? 3. Promoting songs is as easy as remembering to post the news posts more often, I understand one person writes them all and such, but I agree going to back to being more frequent would be amazing if it could be done. In the interest of number 2 I'm going to throw out this: maybe a spon contest in the near future of earning only 1/4th credits as a contest to see who can earn the most in one day? (Preferably banning vrofl from this contest for the sake of fairness to the whole community. I also understand that Vrofl is public yada yada.) |

Re: FFR Suggestions
I already implemented a version of this on the offline engines for Dossar's tournament, but it would be cool to display the simfile artist on the result screen along with the song artist.

Re: FFR Suggestions
A suggestion about front page posts: I find it more interactive if there's a screenshot/picture/something else interesting other than just a verbal announcement. If you look through the past years of FFR's front page posts, you'll notice that many of them frequently included pictures (or some other form of media). Tass used to often find pictures relevant to bands/artists and post them when a song of theirs was featured on the front page.
The banner for "A Week of Trick or Treat" is a nice start. When I flip back through the history of FFR, I'll remember those times a lot better. Not only the past, but it's visually more appealing for visitors of the present (and it may help get them involved in front page events/discussions). |

Re: FFR Suggestions
A suggestion would be making the level ranks based off raw scoring.
I really don't see the point on making it off combo scoring if every time I imporve raw my rank doesn't lower just because I didn't go over my previous combo. |

Re: FFR Suggestions
I've explained this several times already, but FFR has taken its combo-scoring idea as a unique aspect of its identity, despite this "unique" characteristic being really the product of bad planning. So as strange as it is, FFR will pretty much retain their combo-based scoring.
If people wanted FFR to go off of raw scoring, that would've have to been done long ago. Now, you're dealing with a huge database of scores that you'd need to change, not to mention that people have put a lot of effort into playing with this style of scoring. |

Re: FFR Suggestions
Timestamp in level ranks on what date you got the score. It'd help a lot for tournaments, maybe if you forgot to SS the score or whatever.

Re: FFR Suggestions
another one, it would probably be nice to have at the bottom of your levelranks a percentage of how many songs you have played (out of how many songs are ingame (I said out of never played before, but that was wrong. >_>; ))
No, I think he means a song of the day which you can play for double credits. It would Promote the song. Last edited by Emithith; 10-27-2011 at 09:35 PM.. |

Re: FFR Suggestions
I suggest adding an option to download your replays at some point, that would be nice.
Just thought I would mention it, sorry if it already was, because it would be a nice feature imo ^_^V |

Re: FFR Suggestions
Not possible. Unless you mean just the text files used to playback, then maybe.

Re: FFR Suggestions
While it might not be possible to save the actual visual of the replay, you can save the replay code on the Velocity engine.
Play your song, and once you get your desired result, press the key that you have mapped for "Menu" in your settings, click Replay, and the click the Copy button for the song that you want. Copy this code to a text document, save it, and you can load it whenever you want by pasting it into the dialog box you see when you go back to the Replay menu. EDIT: You would ninja me. |

Re: FFR Suggestions
I noticed that. It's a good idea -- perhaps you can move the song artist line up a tiny bit so make room for a new line containing the stepartist? Leaving it immediately next to the song artist doesn't look very aesthetically pleasing.

Re: FFR Suggestions
raskanally, as I do agree with the idea and what you've thrown together, I think that it should probably be approached slightly differently or at least have more to it. I think something that would be a HUGE plus would be to make a template like the old FFR Permission template where we set it up for users to have an easier time first REQUESTING permission, THEN going about obtaining it. So perhaps if we did something along the lines of this, set up in a link placed somewhere easily accessible?
Basically, something that looked like the sticky that was created a bit back, that laid it out very simply. I've modified things a little bit, and included raskanally's link (whether we decided that form was what we wanted to use or not is obviously not a final decision I make). The large majority of this goes to TheRapingDragon, from his 2008 sticky haha. I updated some info, added a few things, fixed some grammar/sentence structure, etc. Most of this was his though, don't give me praise. I think this needs to be accessible, so people are sensible about obtaining permission for song use if they are new to it. I don't think that TheRapingDragon's thread is stickied anymore, and it's long lost.
