Something else:



Wouldn't I actually be rank 11 if I'm not in the top 10? Not that this is particularly important, just something I noticed.

:P It says 12345678910, but it means 0123456789

I don't know why those two values are on different numeric systems lol.

Not that I know much (or anything) about IT, but it seems to me that this would be really easy to fix if that were the case. xD

Re: FFR Suggestions

Can someone fix the song "Domani"? It has some sort of red arrow syndrome near the end.

Mine's off by 1 rank too. (assuming yours is off by 1 anyways).

I made a thread about it, but it got consumed by the thread monster.

It's not just you

It was made that way on purpose.

Re: FFR Suggestions

Does anyone get like a mini-lag at the very beginning of I'm Sick of Uprock, or is it just me? Happens everytime, too lmao.

Oh, I thought that it was some bug from the old system, I remember when GGC had it, but that one got fixed.

Re: FFR Suggestions

Everyone has it. The step artist didn't put 2 seconds of silence when stepping the file and they put a note as early as they could. With offset and transferring to FFR this created the lag start for everyone.

Re: FFR Suggestions

instead of having to go to the thread to see how many more tier points needed for the next tier level, could you just have this?

Re: FFR Suggestions

Not really an important suggestions, but I think it would be a nice feature:

A vote +/- for forum posts. We have them for profiles (tho from what I understand -'s dont add into the number. But doing it for the forums (minus the idiots that would - everyone and everything) would let you see how much quality someone posts compared to how often they post.

What can I say? I'm a useless number whore...

NO

I'm actually vouching for removing +/- voting system on all things, and just suggest a "thumbs up" implementation instead. +/- system for "number whores" is the last thing we need. :/

Menu music on velocity engine:
a) if I'm adding an mp3, what am I supposed to be putting in the text box?
b) is it possible in the future for 1) a custom song to loop and 2) to start automatically when returning to the main menu?

Ranking on the velocity engine:
I've noticed that after you attempt a non-AAAed song on the Velocity engine, your ranking (as noted when you sort by rankings) on that song goes all crazy and is not anywhere near accurate. But if you reload the engine, everything's normal. Why is this? Can it be fixed?

I've noticed this too. It sorts the rank as the last rank you got on the song, not as the best rank. Also, the sort by rank has another bug I noticed, although it's kind of weird to describe. The rank is sorting by individual digits, not by the whole numbers. For example, let's say we have this:

Keep In Mind - 58
It's Only Natural - 79
Chlorophyll - 114
The Epidemic of Unexpected Relapses - 205

This would be the actual sort by rank for the songs, going from best to worst. However, I've noticed a bug where the rankings will sometimes do this:

Chlorophyll - 114
Keep In Mind - 58
It's Only Natural - 79
The Epidemic of Unexpected Relapses - 205

What it's trying to do is it assumes 11<58 so it puts Chlorophyll below Keep In Mind, and completely ignores the fact that Chlorophyll would have an extra digit in the ranking. I've also noticed this only happens with songs that have a rank starting with a 1, which is why The Epidemic(etc.) was left below. Combine this with the bug bmah posted above, and you can get stuff like this:

Chlorophyll - 114
CRASH the Beat - 191
Flight of the Bumblebee - 1054
Hero's w.i.p. - 11902 < (a fail out for example)
Marisa Stole the Precious Thing - 14
party 4u v1 - 18

One last note: currently, the sort by rank will sort the correct amount of digits together (i.e. it'll sort all the 3-digit scores, then all the 4-digit scores, etc.) starting with 1's, but places them before the 2-digits. It's a weird bug, but it doesn't really affect anything which is why I haven't mentioned it until somebody else brought it up.

a) A direct link to the mp3.
b1) I'll see about that.
b2) The menu song already starts automatically?


Ranks error is a check fail on my part, most cause the variables used are as misleading as the text that describes them.

Most sorting errors are from flash alone, per example:
song_array.sortOn(["songrank", "songname"], Array.NUMERIC | Array.CASEINSENSITIVE);
is used to sort rankings from lowest to highest along with sorting by name on songs with ranks the same.

But as everyone has noticed at the bottom of there list, it glitches out due to the sheer length of the list.

a) Oh ok, I made the assumption that the mp3 could be derived from a file on your computer. Didn't know the mp3 had to be hosted on the internet.

b1) Thanks, that would be sweet, especially for short loops.

b2) Yeah, now it works, but it didn't before. Just had to restart the engine. Thanks for verification.

Btw, is it possible for offset values to be saved after closing and opening the Velocity engine?
