Re: Beta Engine: R^3 [Updated 5/13/13]

I just found a glitch in the new R^3 where if you quit out of a song once it reaches the result screen, the song from the file you were just playing will play in the menu. It also plays the song when you go to play a different level.

I second this, it happens to me a bit

Must say, this version of R^3 is godlike. Never actually touched this as I always used FP 9, but nice job.

Scramble is by far, my favorite feature lol.

Re: Beta Engine: R^3 [Updated 5/13/13]

is it possible to navigate the game entirely with the keyboard?






also, I found a bug. If you hold down spacebar to select a song, it will crash. I only discovered this because I wedge a nailclipper into my keyboard to keep the spacebar depressed so I don't hit the spacebar when using the N and M keys

As far as menu key bindings go... You can use Tab to switch genres and Up/Down/PgUp/PgDown to navigate, Space/Enter will start a song. The results screen works with the usual keys for restart and quit. Beyond that, no, but I would like to add more menu keys in the future (searching comes to mind).

Could you describe the crash a bit more? I can't seem to reproduce it, using space/enter starts songs just fine here on my end.

bamp because new stuff.

Most importantly, the variable FPS feature is now publicly available for testing. Under the options menu you can find a new Framerate option: setting it to 60, 90, or anything over 30 will enable the new mode (clearing it or setting it to 30 will revert back to normal). I'd really appreciate any and all feedback on how the higher framerates affect your play. How it feels, syncs, scores, etc. is all very important.
Known bug: Certain songs will start strangely and cause initial misses in FPS mode due to the way they were originally sync'd. Autumn Insomnia Session and The Big Crunch come to mind, so don't complain about songs that do this kthx I know it happens.

Rate mods were also added as a side-feature of the FPS changes and work about as you'd expect. They speed up or slow down the playback rate and can be set as high as you like (though anything over 2.0 is pretty insane), or as low as 0.1 if you really want to torture yourself. One catch is that rates require Flash 10+ due to the feature that makes them possible.
Known bug: Some legacy and old songs have messed up audio when played back on rates.

Both of these mods currently disable score saving to the server.

The chart parser has been updated to prevent it needing to be updated separately. No longer will song charts be out of date in R^3, or not contain any notes after new releases because someone forgot to update the NPS charts. If you find any songs that fail to load or contain zero notes please bring them to my attention here.

Also, if you notice that the receptor spacing feels slightly wrong, add 3 to what you currently have (i.e. 70 is now 73).

• Variable FPS playback
• Playback rates (requires Flash 10+)
• Offsets now support decimal values
• No longer relies on separate chart file updates
• Long songs are now supported (TGWP Full Edition)

Rates omggg

Re: Beta Engine: R^3 [Updated 6/7/13]

FPS works perfectly.

Rates work perfectly except the rate isn't saved in settings after you exit to another song (bit annoying)

Well, the rationale there is that one would often set a different rate for each song, so it's treated like a per-song setting similar to isolations. I can understand that you might want to keep it in some cases though, not sure of a good way to handle that.

As for FPS, good to hear! I was really worried that the timing windows would feel wrong, shifted, or otherwise different.

Rates...

R.I.P. in peace hands


*edit* Perhaps a checkbox to save rates between songs?
