Implement an Early/Late Indicator?

[Kanzas]

Well, as the title says...

I just think it would be a cool idea if you could go back and look at a replay or even show on the stats screen, to see if you hit goods, avgs, etc., either too late or too early.

Would that be something that would be a possible thing to achieve? What are your thoughts about it?

I support this. Maybe if we can toggle it on/off in the menu to make it display when playing ?

Seems a little too much, but like a counter for both would be cool.

Example

12g (7L, 5E)

Too much I meant with the replay.

Yeah, like how you can toggle whether or not to show it say "Perfect", "Good"! Exactly my thoughts!

And as mentioned by noname, if you have the accuracy toggled on, it'll show in your replay, so the early/late would also appear and you could check it that way.

Which actually brings me to think that, when looking at replays, if you could slow them down, or speed up, kinda like that maybe?

And also, on the end stats screen, maybe have the early or late spots marked with an "E" or "L" like the goods, avg, miss, w/e are marked with the "x"?

Also, on the stats screen, it'd be nice if it said on average how many frames off you were and in what direction. That'd make properly setting the offset a lot easier.

Re: Implement an Early/Late Indicator?

There is a thread for a Frame-by-Frame picture of a replay to show you exactly what you are looking for.

Re: Implement an Early/Late Indicator?

Mmmm, not quite the same thing though, Zenith.

Re: Implement an Early/Late Indicator?

I do like this idea a lot even though configuring the offset has been talked about numerous times.

It has nothing to do with the fact that this is a bad idea in practice/theory; in fact, it's a really good idea. The problem is that the implementation of it is simply not worthwhile because of FFR's timing being based off of 30 frames per second, even if you use a higher frame rate (hence the reason why arrow placements don't change even on higher framerates). In this case, a timing indicator would ONLY be useful as an offsetting tool and not really as a tool to indicate what your general timing was on a playthrough.

The fact of the matter is that FFR's frame-based timing is simply too inconsistent and frame deviations could cause all sorts of inconsistent results.

But it is. It shows you what notes you hit early or late with a frame of what the perfect timing is.

You can right click on the R^3 window to find a decent offset for your system too.

The only problem with the Frame-by-Frame comparison is that AJ does them in batches, where it would be cool to have the program accessible so that anyone can use it at any time.

Back to -0- support D: haha


Yeah, I get you are saying, Aj. I wish FFR wasn't so inconsistent, 30 fps makes things like that I guess. Errrwell.

also Zenith: I think Kanzas is talking about a timing graph for a song in entirety, not a per-step basis (% late, % early, % amazing, etc)

Yes, this. Thank you.
