Non-Stop Mode?

Re: RE: Non-Stop Mode?

We've thought about having nonstop mode, but you really have two options here.

1) Fake nonstop mode that has stops, like in IIDX. Where you can go grab yourself a Coke and read the newspaper before playing the next song.
2) Real nonstop mode where you load 4 or 5 songs at once, which would be a huge bandwidth issue.

Maybe in a later version of FFR, and maybe only for very special people. We'll see.

Haha you see chardish there is a solution to this. If your having problems with loading four or five songs at a time, when your finished with the first song, the second song automaticly loads then, so yes there would be a short break in between but that solves that problem.

Then it actually becomes an advantage to have 56k, right? Longer break in between songs = more time to rest.

If you don't believe that the rest matters, make a Stepmania nonstop course of One More Lovely 4 times in a row. You'll be hurting pretty badly by the end of it.

Yes, as Chardish said before, not only will ffr will have a bandwidth issue, but the FFR staff is having a hard enough time (as it seems) just getting rid of bugs/hacks/etc...
Not only will this stress them the hell out with more problems...Not enough people would want it and it would be a waste. I agree with you that it is a good idea, but i think we should worry about how its running currently

So, wait. Why can't you put 5 songs together in one course. Then load all of them in the beginning, as one song, and then as one song ends, the other begins. Would this cause too much strain on the server?

Yes, easier said then done
