Re: FFR Spon Con: Let's go WAY BACK

I think I found every single secret song on the 2004 engine. There are some nobody mentioned yet. Here are some pictures of all the locations, with little red dots to denote the rough areas where you have to move your mouse. Note that the genre absolutely does matter.

Dance genre (4)





Hip-Hop genre (1)


Funk genre (4)

I looked into the swf and found out that the Empty placeholder was level 27, and MaxUnlimited was level 43. I have been wondering about those two level numbers for literally years - they were completely gone from the site when I started looking around, which is saying something because even FF7, Chrono, FFR Special Mix, and Genesis One were still available. Does anyone have the original MaxUnlimited swf sitting around?

Or... you can hit tab. :P It'll tell you all the names of every song. Which means I missed a few.

I wish I did...but even with my extensive collection I don't have it either. Too bad I wasn't around in 2004 when the level still existed.

I love you for making the secret song images, by the way. That just made this a lot more streamlined! I'll upload the other secret levels I have soon. I guess I'll let people play them all day tomorrow or something, don't think I can host these forever unfortunately.

ALSO:

Sending the messages about the tokens now. Checking profiles to see if decisions are necessary from the two people who haven't told me what they wanted.

Re: FFR Spon Con: Let's go WAY BACK

Holy crap, Maxx Unlimited is the song I swore they would put in but I assumed they never did. I guess I was wrong. Even in later versions of FFR (where these songs were archived and hidden but still playable), this song didn't seem to be included anywhere.

I guess the rumor I heard ages ago was true.

Re: FFR Spon Con: Let's go WAY BACK

I guess the rumor I heard ages ago was true.

Is it archived anywhere? I know for a fact that P4U V1 was NOT in the disabled files list back in 2009 when I was around, and no one had it, but it was released as a token later on.

Maybe Synth or an older admin might have it.

EDIT:
THIS SPON CON I GAVE AWAY 555,000 CREDITS...

There wasn't a single bonus over 10k (although people got multiple bonuses), just goes to show how letting things build up and participation can absolutely destroy your expectations.

Re: FFR Spon Con: Let's go WAY BACK

It may be that they planned to include that song but never got around to converting it - I'm not really sure.

edit: Scratch that, it works the same as the other secret songs. That means there's a definite possibility it really worked at some point.

Re: FFR Spon Con: Let's go WAY BACK

Gameboy42690, and iceefudgesickle, please tell me what event token or support token you wish to have unlocked!

I already know what MrPreggers wants unlocked, but you both have several tokens that you can choose from. Please let me know ASAP because I want to send this message really shortly (within an hour hopefully).

EDIT 2: I'm sending the message without your request Gameboy. When you send me the request for which token you want unlocked, I'll send a separate message. I'm not making the other two winners wait in the event it takes much longer.


EDIT: To anyone who didn't know where the secret levels were and want to play them, check out qqwref's images! I even added the secret ones I missed (luckily not TOO many people knew they were there throughout the contest, but if you want to check them out feel free!) I'll probably stop hosting them Tuesday morning or something, so get your fill in the meantime! No one has MaxX Unlimited though, sorry if you wanted to play that.

FFR 10th, bringing old secret and disabled files to yooooooooouuuuuuu!

Re: FFR Spon Con: Let's go WAY BACK

my question is why aren't those songs playable now...

Copyright is probably why for the most part. Although I'm not 100% on that for every old secret file.

Thanks for the 50000 credits Do you want some back, perchance? Though I don't know how to transfer credits.

Btw for anyone who struggled with arrow key setup, try what I did: left hand on left and down arrow keys, right hand on numpad 8 and 6 with numlock off. That's close enough to spread.

Oops.

I already sent out the message and got the reimbursements, so it's no big deal.

Eh, let's just say you won some 25k bonus I had hidden in the op somewhere.

Re: FFR Spon Con: Let's go WAY BACK

Wasn't sure how to prove it was me who got the score, but here's the 3 note AAA



Dub i Dub


Afronova Primeval


Pwnd

1) Any player who submits a score of one of the three secret songs on the engine (not the ones on the genres) will get an additional 10k! For each additional one you post, I'll give you 5k more! If you know where they are...don't post the location of them in the thread...

I'm not sure how this doesn't constitute playing the secret songs, but I really shouldn't complain. Thanks for a fun sponcon and a nice look back at FFR in 'the good ole days'.

Re: FFR Spon Con: Let's go WAY BACK

A lot of files were removed due to copyright issues, but there were also levels like Tell Me a Story (the original) that were removed even though we have permission from SGX, etc.

I wonder why that is. Another example is Pwned! by DJ Kankaoh.

Although you participated in the bonuses, you didn't participate in the main Spon Con event (which was posting a score on one of the three main songs to compete for an event / support token of your choice). I believe I mentioned this at least once or twice throughout the contest to ensure people got this, sorry if you missed it.

Although I will give you an additional 20k for the secret songs you found! I must have missed them over the countless posts, I have to admit this was quite tough to keep up with.
