Looping!

[tofurox]

This would totally rock if you could loop songs. By that I mean, turn on the loop setting and it would automatically restart the song when you finish or fail, even an option as well to make you start the song at the begening of the notes and not at the 10 second blankness. Cause when I am trying to AAA a song or FC or somthing of thet matter, it is irking to have to click all the time. The click is turning into a katzenjammer. Click of Doom! AAAH! LOL!

What do you think?
Can you even think?
Think harder!!
Come on!!
Think think!
LOL!

Re: Looping!

How would you get out of it?

Re: Looping!

I was just about to post that, (I forgot to), a button on the side or somthing, or pressing a certain key, Like if you press the letter p twice (pp) it would exit you.

Re: Looping!

It'd be fun for trying to up my grandtotal score, probably also fun if it had your combo carry over from whatever you finished the song with the previous time, so people could try to see how big of a combo they could rack up, even though it wouldn't give them any different amount of points than if it didn't carry over. Still, I don't really think this would make that big of a difference when you can just click one button and start the song over again fast enough for me, anyway.

Re: Looping!

i could make individual levels like this.... where they just looped and looped. but the only way out would be to fail.

but i'm not going to.


and there have been all kinds of "nonstop" modes suggested. if i remember, i'll mention it next week.

Yea Combo Racking, like a mini game, even random songs from X-difficulty to X-dificulty. I still like looping though!

Re: Looping!

Tass mention it!

I would like to see something like...

Click settings
Turn, "level loop on"
Play song
After finish or fail score screen comes up
You have 3 seconds to click, "try another level"
If you click nothing after the 3 seconds the song restarts.

Simple enough?

EDIT:

tofurox, grammar and spelling is a virtue. I didn't understand half of what you typed...

Re: Looping!

no 3 seconds defeats the purpose, like ooh, yea but like the 3 second w8 would count as the normal w8 for the notes to come in songs. So like songs like Contraception (I think, the one by SGX) or max forever w/ the vexing w8 before the notes (making farming/fcing/AAAing harder). Even choose songs to loop (or even a certain genere).

Here is a thought, it would look like this:

1st you turn on loop, and select the song(s) you want looped,
2nd you click start and the 1st song begins,
3rd you play the song (lets say you clear it, failing it would result in either continuing the loop or ending the loop,
4th when the song ends, you will see a black screen and then, the quit loop option appears for a second or 2 and then dissapears (during this time the song is saving into loop stats),
5th you play the next song and ect. ect.
6th when you are done (and want to quit looping) click the quit looping button
7th then a stats page with all the song(s) you played would appear, showing all the stats you would normally see (in the same format as normal, except you can click the next button to go to the next song's stats),
8th when done looking at stats click finished and your level rank would be updated,

Also another thing with the 1st step, you could choose different styles of play, see how high your combo could get (but the bonus combo points would reset after each song, but your combo would stay), and mabye a few othher (somwhat like ddr) modes.

Also making the skill tokens into a "challenge mode" where the mods would be preset for you, but you could still set them yourself if you wanted.

And Also, I cannot w8 for the release of token and skill token level stats.

Edit:

Tis likly long to reed lol. On ane sorrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy(timez)1k for any typoz I maed.

Re: Looping!

What you are asking for is kind of like a marathon mode like in SM.

It has been suggested already and it's not happening.

Once again... Spelling and grammar my friend... Spelling and grammar.

Re: Looping!

Like the idea, but 3 seconds is a little slow. What if you want to look at your score then stop? Anyway, probably won't happen, but thanks for the suggestion.

Re: Looping!

OOH You can click a "pause" button.

So like There would be:

"Pause/Play" (pauses looping/nonstop to look at scores/take a break/go poop lol)
or
"Stop" (quits looping/nonstop mode)

I like to compare it to ddr nonstop mode.

Re: Looping!

I still find it worthwhile posting on about, and screw spelling and grammer, its summer cut me some slack! (lol)!
I like the idea,

and also another thing to add is a section allowing you to change the looping wait time, and you could set to show you the score or not (but it will always show you the score later in the results page at the end of the looping session).

So, to sum this up (if it aint short enought for yea already),
here are some additional settings that could be added to all the earlier suggestions:
Ability to edit time between loops, and to show or not to show your score right after you're done the song (it would be usless to look cause the pint of looping is to play fast, clicking would be easy if you wanted to view the stats page after each song).

Lol thats actually longer, let me try this again

Edit time between next loop and turn on or off stats page.

There we go, thats shorter lol!

Also, this could veer off another path, but what the hay!
If your stats page was off lets say. All of your songs stats would be saved until you end the loop. So like, if you played Max Forever (lets say trying to FC) 30 times, then once you ended the loop, the stats for the 1st try would appear, then click next to view stats for the second try ect.
The whole veering thing comes from this:
You could have it save all your scores from all songs played in that time in the game, and click view and quit to view them all, but I mean you know, you can still play normally with no looping and stats turned on.
