Lolwut offsync file conquerer

**iceefudgesickle** · 10-23-2008, 01:25 AM

So I just AAA'd the last file with the difficulty 4/12, including tokens. Funk in G was the last one. Doesn't sound like an impressive feat, but it really is when you consider that Terror From Beyond, 136.6, Shag, Funk in G, and worst of all, Story of Snowman and Sunshine Girl, are of the 4/12 difficulty. I've conquered every single one of the horribly offsync easy files so now I'm really happy.

And on a side note, AAA'd Party 4u V2 which is a HARD horribly offsync file. 19th to AAA I believe. Epic much.

Congrats on the very nice scores!

Brag Board material. I don't really see how you think this should go in Bugreport...

**iceefudgesickle** · 10-23-2008, 01:31 AM

Oh crap...

I AM SO SORRY

I thought this was in the brag board!

Damn, please mod move this...

what i don't understand about ffr is why files that are offsync aren't fixed

is this that big of a problem?

**iceefudgesickle** · 10-23-2008, 01:41 AM

Haha this might end up being a bugreport thread anyways lol

If they fixed the offsync files, I would be mega pissed that I spent the time to AAA them. So would everyone else that AAA'd the old files. I think they should relocate the blue note files to a new section called "Old" or something like that so that newbies don't blunder into the game and think it sucks because they played a horribly offsync song. Other than that I have no problems with the old files staying in the game.

They don't fix the off sync files because they are a part of the heritage of FFR. Plus, it would be unfair to the people that spent hours upon hours trying to AAA what should be an easy song but is not due to the steps. Sorry, but the off sync files are here to stay.

Necros140606 · 10-23-2008, 01:50 AM

it would just be easy to reset the ranking for those files, since there aren't really tons of them. i think i noticed about a dozen. yeah probably your solution would be best since there are peole who don't want their scores erased but meh. as an outsider who just recently approached to ffr being already very good at stepmania it's very frustrating at times, and detracts from my gaming experience. not to mention some files are not only offsync as hell but blatantly wrong and random. (revolutionary etude)

**Tasselfoot** · 10-23-2008, 02:11 AM

except there have been hundreds of thousands of people who have scores on those levels, as they've been around since 2002 or 2003.

TC_llama499 · 10-23-2008, 02:16 AM

nice job, im currently working on this too, i love u synth. but if you make 1 more file i will have to hunt you down and break your computer

**devonin** · 10-23-2008, 03:07 AM

He makes great files. The off-sync nature of those files was the fault of the stepfile making process, not of his abilities at making stepfiles.

Necros140606 · 10-23-2008, 03:25 AM

even so, i can't believe how this hasn't been fixed back then o.o

**jimerax** · 10-23-2008, 05:01 AM

yeah, there were reasons like these.

- old dwi -> ffr converter was pretty bad
- most people didn't even care about sync of ffr files much in 2002-3 (could notice though)
- no one could fix the sync of FFR files in the level admin team back then

Only solution to keep both "game quality" and "player's efforts of 5 years" would be making V2s for offsync files and putting old ones in Legacy genre.

**kmay** · 10-23-2008, 05:35 AM

icee i hate you. I have black flag on Funk in G and like 30,000 goods on all the other ones. I still hate you, but for being better then me.

**igotrhythm** · 10-23-2008, 01:18 PM

Legacy genre sounds like a good idea, Jimerax.

Nice going with Party 4u V2. Between the video and the blue note syndrome, that is a really hard file to read, let alone AAA.

Um... thanks? Haha. You may be pissed that I managed to AAA them, but trust me, you aren't as pissed as I was when I blackflagged Funk in G on sightread on the LAST NOTE. It took me like 45 minutes of playing the song afterward to AAA.

**kmay** · 10-23-2008, 04:53 PM

lol actually i think mine was kinda sightread. it was the first time i played the songs all the way through.

Yeah. Synthlight was a horrible step artist no matter what way you slice it, really. Even though it was the method of making files that made them offsync, they still would suck regardless of that crappy method even when onsync.

The man creates ffr out of unused Internets space and a sack of molting albino kittens, steps the first songs to assist the growing community and he gets shot to pieces...? damn, thats harsh...

I hate the files, but good on you for starting something great synth

I never said Synth was a bad person, in fact he is an amazing person for creating this game. It's just that his stepfiles blow.
