Offset?

[Murtaug]

Basically just a question about offset. I hope this is the best place to post this

So I havnt been on ffr in a while and I came back today and i noticed that it was tougher to hit the notes that usual. It seemed like i was hitting the notes too late, and i was hitting them just as they were leaving the screen. I did some searching and all i could figure out is that theres some connection between my problem, and this thing called 'offset'. I found the offset setting but i just dont know how to use it to solve my problem. If someone could help it would be greatly appreciated :]

Re: Offset?

Someone else will probably explain this better, but the offset setting is for songs where the arrows aren't 100% aligned with the audio. You can change the offset value from 0 to any positive or negative value, which correlates to frames. If you change it to a positive number, it will represent how many frames later you would like the arrows to arrive. If you put in a negative value, the arrows arrive earlier. Hope this helps.

Re: Offset?

Tidus put it perfectly actually. Example:

If you want the arrows to come up 10 frames later, you enter 10.
If you want them 10 frames earlier, do -10.
If you want a 2:15 song to start 2:20 later, something like 3500 will do.

You can really mess with things making the offset way too high. Avoid anything like 30,000 or you'll be waiting a long time to start the song. Rofl.
PS, don't try 30k, because you will have to wait....you can't fail out when you do that, so it just racks up boos. Haha...
