    stepmania integration

    hope no one has suggested this before.....but you know how in stepmania there is a log with all of your scores in it for every song? well, stepmania should release an addon(or put it in their next new version) that automatically sends that log file to ffr. this would:
    1) eliminate bandwidth on FFR because people would be playing their own songs on their comp without having to load FFR all the time.

    2) MODS MODS MOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDSSSS!!!!!! thats right we know u love your mods :P but some mods would make AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-ing (shut up) be as easy as failing uber rave while not pressing any buttons. so some mods would be not allowed, like 2X on so deep, but it would be allowed on max's cuz those would be harder with speed mods(faster) and so deep is easier with them. but then would come the time consuming task of determining how many credits for every song, what mods can and cant be used, blah blah. this would take about a year, with just my songs(i have 1280 or so, im working up to 1337 :P )

    3)there are so many more songs in stepmania so you wouldnt get bored with the ones in FFR, cuz there arent quite as many. (no offense i know its hard to make the songs and whatnot, especially since this is completely free)

    4)stepmania has an unlock system built in, so you could play it offline, and it could save the number of credits earned during offline play, and then send it to FFR once u get back online.

    5) worst thing of all.........hacking! sooo easy. that file with all your stepmania scores-just a simple text file in the stepmania system folder or something. it could somehow be fixed by integrationg it RIGHT into stepmania so u cant just open up the sm(im geting tired of typing stepmania) folder and edit the file. but it would still be hackable. probly about as easy as editing starcraft, or GTA3 (woohoo everyone is now a stripper!) yeah. but someone with more knowledge of hacking could help with that one.

    if theres anything i left out that might be a problem or an improvement, please add here or ask a question I'll answer it quickly(as long as u ask within 10 min cuz ill still be looking here, tomorrow i might forget that i even posted here)

      not really, sending the file owuld be quite simple. it would take your score from the file, and depending on the score you would get a certain number of points. but yes the rest would be a bit harder. but im sure that if the stepmania saw this as an opportunity to get more people playing stepmania, they could help out with all the fine details. I would glasly help but i dont know how to program. but i could help with rating how many credits a song can get or what mods wouldnt be allowed with certain songs.

        I concour completely with LD....

        I looked at your ideas, and although somewhat kind of 'OK' ideas, they would be hard to implement....

            Truthfuly, I dont like any of your ideas. And dont do things like '-cries-" , ".............................." , or telling yourself to shut up.

                I dont think any ideas of yours will ever happen...

                As LD already said FFR is not Stepmania. No relation what so ever. So any idea with stepmania included is ruled out.

                Nobody is going to say "You cant use this mod on this song because..."

                You can not integrate a text file into a compiled exe file

                There are so many songs because you as a user can put up how ever many you want
