Embedded song backgrounds

**devonin** · 05-31-2007, 09:47 PM

Is there any way to disable these? in several songs they distract from the arrows, and in many cases obscure them to the point of not being able to see what you are supposed to be doing.

currently there isn't but I expect that there will be a feature eventually to turn off the backgrounds, but probably not anytime soon.

The background shouldnt be removed in Party 4u - HolyNightRemix V2.. it would be too easy otherwise

No it wouldn't. The song would just not suffer from Arrow Slowdown second time around. This would also give way to it being added on the TPL and besides, the song will still have those jacks to deal with.

No one needs no backgrounds on older songs. If we could turn them off then a lot of songs would be too easy.

PARTY 4U FTW! lol

I think the idea that you need a distracting background to "make the song hard" is a little absurd. If the stepfile creator wants the song to be difficult, they should IMO make it -actually- difficult.

If it makes a few songs "easier" why is that actually a problem?

So I suppose that backgrounds that are distracting and make the arrows near impossible to see are what's supposed to give a song a REAL challenge?

I agree with Devonin. If the artist wanted to make the song difficult, he would've made the file difficult.

The backgrounds are there because the artists requested it be there.

But it wasn't meant to make the file any harder. Other than Party4U, I don't see where this would apply.

They requested it to be there, fair enough. If it -directly removes- from the ability of the users to actually play the song in a way that allows their skill at the game to be the determining factor in their performace, they ought to recieve a polite request to submit a less distracting image, or told that some users would like the ability to disable the image while playing the song.

Difficult songs should be difficult because they are technically challenging.

Lol, I just played P4U and had reverse arrow slowdown. There was no music and arrows went superfast XD

I thought it was pretty odd that every single background in FFR blends in with the arrows.
