Fix the 98% only loading of a song.

If it's not too much of a hassle it would be nice to have Default noteskin from stepmania 3.9/3.95 in velocity engine

Re: FFR Suggestions

i think thats impossible

Re: FFR Suggestions

Why is that?

Re: FFR Suggestions

It's not impossible, except maybe for copyright reasons.

Also could someone make a vector graphic noteskin pack, ideally vector versions of the current noteskins? I resize my screen to be bigger, but the noteskins are bitmaps, so it loses a significant amount of quality.

Re: FFR Suggestions

is there a specific forum topic that i could maybe request songs in? i have no idea how to create songs myself so i dont even wanna make an attempt at it.

Re: FFR Suggestions

You could try contacting stepfile authors and seeing if they would like to step some music that you'd like to see in-game.
You would need to make sure that we have permission to use the music however, or you might be wasting your time.

Re: FFR Suggestions

Suggestion 1:
Make the Permissions Subforum an actual forum, since no one seems to know to look in General Talk (stupid place for it, imo).
Suggestion 2:
Make .gifs for comments animate. We currently have static images being used. lol (I know, this would probably bump up the comment size by a couple hundred KB per. But it would be nice if we had this.)

WTF. Do you even know what you're asking? That's asking for A) The engine to DRAW the arrows when they are put into the game, which would also be asking for B) MORE LAG.

Re: FFR Suggestions

Why not simply order the song list via song ID? You can easily find the newest songs that way.

it's not just that, i have a scattered bunch of unplayed songs, and rather than having to dig through my levelranks page to found out which, it's just be nice to sort out all the ones i have in-game.

Re: FFR Suggestions

I think it could be doable? The velocity engine already highlights played songs as well..

[SeraphinEveles]

Re: FFR Suggestions

damn. i just found out about that (colors are a problem for me >.<), and i came back here to post about it. that being the case though, the engine already recognizes which songs have and haven't been played. so adding a filter option for it shouldn't be impossible.

Re: FFR Suggestions

It'd be nice to have the notebar/Beatmania noteskin fixed up a bit-- make it a bit smaller, make the receptors spaced out so that they aren't directly adjacent to each other, make it so that the bars have a defined edge to them and stuff, that kind of thing. Basically I just want to be able to use notebar on FFR like I do on SM, ehuehueuh

That would be nice, but since Velocity quit I don't see it happening

Re: FFR Suggestions

It might be able to be done, but Velocity's not working on the engine right now as was said and I don't know who else is able to.

Re: FFR Suggestions

Here's an idea for a feature similar to what I think TS has.

When you start a song, the server generates and gives you a random "token". Then, when you send a score for that song, you send the token back with it, and the server uses that to validate the score (checks it's the same chart and username, for instance) and marks the token as already used.

Now, with this idea, it would be easy to add a button to send the score again, to help with unrecorded scores. If the score doesn't record, then the token would never be marked as used on the server, so the next time you send the same score it would record normally (and mark the token as used). However, and this is the useful part, if you try to use the button after the score has already properly recorded, the server will notice the token has already been used and refuse to record the score again. So that way we can basically eliminate unrecorded scores, without giving anyone the ability to get credit for the same play more than once.

Re: FFR Suggestions

I just noticed the song preview takes forever to restart when looping, why is that and can that downtime be removed?
Edit:// To clarify Im talking about when you click the listen button
