The 30 minute Song

[robertsona]

go link. quick start a chain. somebody say: "go robertsona!"

[~HentaiXXX~]

That would suck, get about 20 minutes into the song, "OH YES STILL AAA'ING LET'S KEEP DOING THIS" *good* OMG SH*T SH*T SH*T F*CK YOU GOD DAMN IT F*CK!!111! ;___;

Yeah, wouldn't be AAA'd for a hella long time.

[ninjaKIWI]

lol 30 minutes with Tass.

Flash will only save and export up to 16,000 frames, which is very roughly around 8 minutes for FFR (30 fps) and 4 minutes for SIU (60 fps). Thus, obviously, a 30 minute song (and very obviously, an hour-long song) isn't feasible.

Xelius is working on forming a template that moves from one layer to the next in a file to see if we can extend that running time, but I haven't heard from him since then. Maybe it was so difficult it made him insane and he's currently swimming across the Atlantic Ocean on a mission to attack me. I doubt that is true, but at least that gives you something to talk about at your office's water cooler tomorrow.

Goin in my sig.

then what will happen to 10 min with tass? if the max is lik 8 min

[nestlekwik]

I asked Tass if he knew how to go beyond 16,000 frames and found out you couldn't. What followed thereafter was about 10 IMs of Tass swearing because he realized what that meant for TMWT.

i support the fourm love the idea would play the song and would hope to get a skill token for completing it haha i fight tass all the time lol not caause i hate him cause i dont but i end up dissagreeing with everything he says i want a 30 min song to be in the game it would be cool

[OnixRose]

I remember a thread about stepping an hour long song (56 min) I dled the song it's called all radio edits up your ass.

[reptile3141]

Blah, I personally think it would be a good idea. But yea, the loading time for it would be pretty homosexual. Definitely an interesting concept. Oh yea, the other thing is, I think most people here would play it only ONCE...then after that, "BAM", gone forever.

Yes-- that was it exactly.

BTW: I believe that TMWT is gonna be the longest song accepted into FFR. If it's longer than that, then you're gonna have to kill tass after he names you successor to do it.

[Coolboyrulez0]

no. just no.

I would love to play a really really long song, but even if the idea was heavily supported it wouldn't happen for a long time because of the maximum amount of time a song can be right now (8 minutes) stated by nestlekwik. The memory would have to be extended to hold almost 4 times more fps. Not going to happen any time soon.

I like the idea, but... *lots of thoughts below*
People wonder why I play so many games a day. It's because I miss a lot of arrows when trying to FC or AAA a song. Today, I had an AAA after around 100 tries. It was a 1:44 "For Beginners" song.
Now we're talking about a HOUR-LONG song?! 3600 seconds of pure nightmare! We'll need four extra difficluty levels (harder than "For Gurus only") just to class it! And a new song category. Imagine : you're scrolling the song category wheel: Rock, Arcade, Funk, Dance2, Dance, ... and then "Impossible".
Peope like me, who have trouble getting AAA's, will have to avoid that song at all costs.
Loading it will take forever. You could get ten million extra poitns by playing other songs while the Hour-Long loads.
It will also be WAY too risky because of outside events. Let me explain :
Ever missed a FC because the phone rang? Or because something attracted your attention? Outside events can easely make you miss a 60 seconds song. Now we're talking 3600 seconds.
Failing in the last five minutes will be VERY frustrating. Also, if you find yourself unable to get past a part, you'll have to play THE ENTIRE song EVERY time you want to try the hard part again.
There might be a way to finsih it though : gathering all your friends to your home, and let each one play for a few minutes before changing. Playing by yourself will result in death most likely.
