Re: FFR Standalone!
I have absolutely no idea why this thread was made. All of the information that is needed to run the standalone can be found in the Temporary FAQ thread. I'm going to elaborate this as much as I can.
Tools needed:
- FFR's engine links.
Velocity Engine | Legacy Engine
- Macromedia Flash Player 8, or Adobe Flash Player 9/10. You do not need the physical .swf to run FFR - having the .swf will cause authentication conflicts due to server-side .php files not being referenced properly within the engine (as you'll be running the game LOCALLY if you're offline).
If you're using Velocity's engine, simply plug in the link given above, and it should ask you for your username and password.
If you're using the Legacy engine, continue down to the Internet Explorer area.
- Internet Explorer (referred to as IE). If you're using the legacy engine with Flash Player 9 or Flash Player 10, you're going to need IE to save your authentication settings. Go to FFR's homepage, type in your username and password, and make sure that you check off the Remember Me box. Once you do that, you can open your Flash Player and it should keep all of your settings saved.
Note: if you're using Velocity's engine, you can authenticate yourself right within the engine.
Flash Player Links:
Windows: Macromedia Flash Player 8 | Adobe Flash Player 9 | Adobe Flash Player 10
Mac: Adobe Flash Player 9 | Adobe Flash Player 10
Linux: Adobe Flash Player 10
For those of you running Linux and wanting to use an older version of Flash Player, I couldn't find a link for Flash Player 9 - you're going to have to emulate it using WINE.
Get it here: WINE
If you have Flash 9 on your computer for any reason on linux, run this command:
Install Flash 10 using this terminal command:Code:$ sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree
Macromedia Flash Player 8 and Adobe Flash Player 9 are very widely used, but Adobe Flash Player 9 is more stable. Macromedia Flash Player 8 has a tendency to crash for certain users/computers, so you're better off not using the link.Code:$ sudo dpkg -i install_flash_player_10_linux.deb
Some people recommend Gamebooster, but it doesn't effect performance all that much for newer computers that can run FFR well, so it's not worth putting a link up. It's easy to find - just search IOBit Gamebooster and you should find the latest version.
This will help your gameplay a good deal, but it can be improved even more on those of you using Windows - if you turn your graphic properties down to 16 bit, and use the "Windows Classic" theme, you're reducing the amount of memory your dwm.exe process uses dramatically. It's a minimum amount in terms of memory, but your computer has considerably less graphics to render.
I hope that helps.Last edited by TC_Halogen; 08-31-2011, 04:12 PM.Comment

Re: FFR Standalone!
The general idea of the thread was to solely focus on this point, since people are too ignorant to read the FAQ to find out things like this... I've seen/posted in about 4-6 threads about the standalone in the past few weeks/months, so it was kind of seeming that people were just not looking very hard for these answers and now they are easy to find as this is a thread devoted entirely to standalones. PS, thanks for a few links (Linux and the other Mac link!) that I was missing.
I have updated it completely, as soon as I get the few links Halogen posted that I didn't get updated already. If you guys still see something wrong, let me know!Comment

Re: FFR Standalone!
My thoughts about it: if people are too lazy to look for a FAQ thread that answers this question, then chances are they won't read this thread either after some point, and the same questions are going to pop up all over again.Comment

Re: FFR Standalone!
People asked the same question 3 times in this thread already that had been answered. People just don't look, that's how it is.

Flash player 9 standalone took me from lagging so bad I couldn't AAA anything to getting like 200 new AAA's since coming back and only lagging about once every ten songs.

Re: FFR Standalone!
Exactly why we recommend it to everyone!
Dunno if anyone has noticed yet, but if you go to those engine links you can play the 2003 Beta engine ;3 It's a download of an exe though, so don't expect it to be online.
And Halogen, I actually agree with you. In some time, this main post will get buried, and the thread will become inactive. Honestly I'm hoping maybe the admins will put together a button in the side bar with a link to this thread and the Standalone links, that way it will never truly "get buried".Comment

still processing if fuzzy, otherwise windows live is a stupid program.
EDIT:
You're kidding right? The Temporary FAQ has a few short paragraphs on the subject, but it's in no way parallel to the quality of this thread.
If all of the information needed to run the standalone can be found in the Temporary FAQ, where's your support for mac users?
Your thread is good as a general FAQ (which I'm sure it was intended to be), but this thread has the main focal point of the standalone itself, not to mention the flashy title that actually draws people to it instead of something that looks outdated (Even though it's not) by the use of the word "temporary." Nowhere in your thread did I see as many different links for different flash players, etc. I don't think it's right that you're calling this thread unnecessary, especially since it's helping people...

Re: FFR Standalone!
Holy shiz dude (rushy) where do you get 1 million credits from? Hahahaha. Good new tutorial. It's a very good illustration of how to get the Legacy Engine running.
Glad it's working for you UnknownEnigma!Comment

Re: FFR Standalone!
Aside from Mac/Linux users (which accounts for an incredibly small amount of the community), which I addressed in my post of this thread - the FAQ was enough to get going on a Windows environment. If it needs to be updated to accommodate that, then that's fine.new vid

The reason the thread was dubbed a Temporary FAQ at the time was because it also addressed questions involving the site's return.
Another reason why I said there's no reason to have made this thread is because there is (was) incorrect information. Why put a front page post for something like this when the information isn't verified?Comment
