OFFICIAL FEATURE REQUEST FOR FFR REMIX #2

[nestlekwik]

Synth should throw an awards banquet at his house on the one-year anniversary of FFR.

[CMCAdvanced]

I've seen bigger posts. Much bigger, but it was in a flame war over the dynamics of Fighting Games.

Losers, perhaps?

You didn't join them RIGHT.

[CMCAdvanced]

Workout modes are featured in many of the home versions of DDR.

I know. I was being sarcastic.

Don't feel bad. A lot don't understand me completely.

Polka

Who can't dance to a little polka??

[NessTormented]

Polka... I am hate polka. too slow and pointless.

vs. mode

i dont know if this could be possible but im sure you can pull it off somehow...maybe you could make it so people can play against each other via the internet....like i could play against some ffr expert in ohio while im in my room in NC. that would be so fun...well i wont blame you if you cant make this possible but it would be freaking awesome.

DWI File Support

If you guys over there could implement just being able to open DWI files and finding their mp3 and picture, then any song correctly made could be played!

The reason for this is because at school, we have those piece of shit Macs! I run Internet Explorer 5.1 (and at home I have 6!) at school and FFR is the only simulator I can use. You guys don't even consider it a simulator!

If this feature were implemented, I would just need to provide the DWI file and its corresponding files (by the Open File dialog box) to play any song at all, which means official DDR songs!

Here's a list of features I would love to see in remix #2:

-DWI file support (if made correctly)
-More accurate timing
-No counting misses! (The arcade never does that!)
-More extra stages!
-Solo mode and double mode
-Versus mode via the Internet with another person over the site
-Arcade-style look
-Announcers
-Challenge, Heavy, Standard, and Light modes
-Random shuffling of arrows mode
-The modification menu like at the arcade by holding the Enter button down when selecting a song
-Remapable buttons through cookies
-Full-screen mode
-AutoPlay for when I don't have a pad (e.g.: school!)
-An easy mode for Hellbeat!

That's it. Of course, that's too much work for any developers to do in one version, but if you guys want to compete against the best DDR simulators out there, you need all this. I bet you don't want to though.

At the very least, I would love to see DWI file support.

Remember that StepMania does all this!

FFR is different from Stepmania... if Stepmania suits your needs better, than that is the simulator which you should use. FFR on the other hand is supposed to have a different look and style. So depending on which simulator you use, you will have a different layout.

[JeffAndonuts]

I've only skimmed through a couple pages so please don't get mad at me if I repeat a suggestion.

I think the rating system should be tweaked. The parantheses are sometimes hard to read, so I suggest just writing a number. Also, I would love it if you made the rating out of 20 so people could more accurately gauge a song's difficulty. The ratings should be a bit more precise because I can see a difference in most songs with the same rating.

Also, have a tutorial level. I introduced this to 3 friends and 2 of them are having trouble but the only two levels they can practice at all is Seattle's Finest and the Mario level. The tutorial level should be split into different lessons, like double arrows, timing, etc.

A volume control would be great because as someone else said, my volume on the lowest level is still loud and It's hard to fix it in the sound control menu because my computer is a little screwy.

Also, make a full screen option. All it would be is FFR in a window with a black background. This could cut distractions because sometimes the light menu on the website can get annoying and hard on my eyes if I've been playing FFR for a long time.

There's a small glitch in the top scores. When on the FFR song selection screen and I open a high score list to a song, if I were to go to another it would show the same high score list for the first song I checked.
For example: I see the high scores to the Mario level, then I go to the FF7 level and check the high scores, the Mario level scores will come up again.

I hope everything I said made sense, and that you take these ideas into consideration.

Remember that StepMania does all this!

Do you realize that FFR is a FLASH game? And Synth is trying to keep FFR as original as possible. The timing accuracy is just a thing of human error if it is a bit off, and who can honestly say they've never made mistakes before? The DWI file support, unless something new has been added to flash that I havent realized, is something flash is incapable of doing. Remember that this game is harder to create, add on, and maintain than it looks.

I did.

It actually became rather deep toward the end.

[DiGiCharat]

hey, how about some sort of 6 arrow layout?
Can that be done?

[SotN]

find 2 more arrows on the keypad, then get back to us.

[JeffAndonuts]

Sure, let's use delete and end. Or Even F8 and F9! Better yet, alt+F4!

[Freak83]

Or if you use the numberpad like me... 7 and 9
