My ideas for improving - Sfo and the sfo community

[shadowdog2244]

This is a long list, you know me, so if you dont like long posts and another long post, and another(no, am just joking about the 2 posts. I thought the maximum message size was 25,600. Sorry Kingy, sorry for wasting your time.), there is nothing for you here! heh. but I will tell you, the points are pretty...yeah...pretty concise, and there are pictures for those of you who don

[Angel-Eyes]

you're a smart dude


alot of small things that would "touch up" sfo and make it alot better....


put it on the "to do" list

[shadowdog2244]

Thanks kester.
Do I have anymore support? It takes a lot of posts for a Mod to look. Dont even talk about an Admin looking here. ???

[SBYRD5]

Needs to be viewed.....

[Kingryu1]

Yes some very good ideas, TMy will prolly have a good look through this..

and sbyrd, there is NO NEED for PMing mods about this, we always view the new features section. we are not BLIND you know... -_-'

[floaterz]

hmmm
This puts more meaning to the phrase every little bit counts

There are a few good ideas in there man
It took me a while to read it so I can only imagine the time it took u to type think and post that
neway thank's for your improvement Ideas It's always good to see people willing to help

:baaa: :biggrin:

[shadowdog2244]

I just wanted to put up 2 good ideas, but when I forgot them, I went crazy thinking, really hard. In the end though, I cam up with 60 somewhat minor, but good ideas to add to them.
It took me 2 days to remember those two ideas. 2 days OFF of SFO to make up all those ideas. Man. I dont feel like thinking for a while. Heh.

By the way, thanks for the support, all of you.

[Resident Evil]

=-o i dont feel like reading this whole list but it will be great if there was a button saying Forgot your password button... it would help alot and also Reset password..

[~Mastermax~]

you had a lot of good ideas, i didn't read it all but what i read (about 3/4) had small problems that could be fixed for the perfectionist.

[shadowdog2244]

Resident Evil: Apparently the passwords are encrypted, so, it takes a long time for even an admin like TMyApp to decrypt it, right? I thought about that already, and dropped the idea. It was such a good one too.
It would take the longest time to make a function that would recognize an email address, or an answer to a hint, yep, it would have to do one of these, or else, anyone could get into your account, and then decrypt the password from the database, then send it to the email address. Everyone would have to register again puting in email and/or a hint.
This is why TMyApp said dont forget your passwords, and dont send me emails about this. They will just be deleted.

Remember?

[Saijin_Ryu]

[quote:post_uid0="shadowdog2244"]31. The SFO folder has another folder named

[coolkilla]

You actually sat there and TYPED ALL THAT...Lol TMyApp cant jus click his heals together and make all that happen..but still I say some of those Ideas are good but let him focus on characters and bugs first =\

[DarkstriderX]

ehh.. too much reading.. but i like the photo idea though.. I 'd love to copy my game screen and post it up.. To show people wha t im made off. :biggrin:



Edited By DarkstriderX on Aug. 07 2004 at 19:02

[shadowdog2244]

The photo Idea is one of the best as well. I really, REALLY dont think it would be difficult with that one. Application picture taking and programing it to save... doesnt seem hard with other/almost all applications, so why would it be here?
Characters and bugs are most important, I agree, but I just decided these are some ok ideas that could be added if they can. You know, they are all pretty small (the ideas, not the bugs) and could be done in addition. Everything takes work, but if he gave a "shape our site with your ideas" section, what better way to use it than to give ideas big or small? They wanted ideas, so they shall have them. Heh.

If you dont like reading, just click on the illustrated ones. Youl get the idea with the pictures. You may not know all the ideas, but at least you wll know some.

By the way, thanks for the support.

[Evil-Bastard]

these are some great ideas...im impressed

[limbei]

i just tot tt ur ideas are rather cool....
some very good pointe were stated as to how SFO may b touched up to improve it standards.....

[Thnikkaman]

I myself would like a training mode: I'm still getting used to controls, and it's hard to while I'm getting blasted with hadokens :p

[TitanX59]

damn just viewing all of that gives me a headache, but i'll say this, you got some good ideas right there... :shocked:

[shadowdog2244]

Thanks for the support.

Training Mode! Thats what I forgot! I cant believe I forgot that!

[VampireNinja]

Damnnnnn... Good ideas man!

Now wheres timmy?

[HappyDragon]

it would also be good if the keypad buttons were seperate from the numbers across so we may fight using the keypad

[shadowdog2244]

Happy Dragon, I don't understand your idea. It doesnt seem to make sense. Sorry; please explain.

Hmm.
I have an idea. Which of my ideas would you like to see most in SFO? Like, which are most important? I put a lot, so I am not sure which are "rational" and most possible.

Thanks for the support.

Oh yeah, you know the discussion about Psyco Bison? You know, the Bison for the VIPs? I thought about that.
Normal Bison never seems to have the Psyco Crusher move. So the Psyco Bison could have that, and you know about that really powerful, annoying Psyco Crusher Drive that bison has in Alpha 3? The one that "only" the CPU final boss Bison has? The one that requires X-ism (or level 3 in the SFO sense). Do you remember the Psyco burst/ Explosion super attack that was chargable instead of just a projectile? This combined with a new look (maybe Red and Gold without a cape (like in the movie when Bison comes back to life, more powerful, or before he changes clothes in the room with chun li there, or... white with silver or gold arming) would make a good Psyco Bison right? What do you think about that? # 63 if you ask me.

Psycho bison is a good idea for vips...I wont really use bison against anyone unless they suck horribly...I voted for him because I didnt want any of the characters that were(lets say elected)but I also wanted bison to be the boss of story mode =\..

there could defintaley be some cool Stuff with a VIP Bison I only that TMy likes the ideas as well. That could make for some fun playin

[Virtual Fighter]

wow, those are ALOT of good ideas.

except, that some of them are kinda add on.. i think Tmy's first priority should be to get all the charectors, and make them good, and less laggy.

getting something like saving options is a shell compared to a new charector. catch my drift?

those would be good for sometihng like year 2007, when sfo is complete, and we can just work on perfecting it, and making it more convenient.

[shadowdog2244]

That's understandable. He wanted ideas though, you know? So, maybe if TMyApp and leftyb have enough time, they could put them in an update along the way there. That's why they have this section, I believe. Why give him advice on his own characters? You can't suggest to make a new character (in a sense) and you aren't supposed to talk about bugs here, although some are ideas for improving the game, they belong in the bugs section.
As I said before, it is good to fix up the characters and their bugs, and the game's bugs, but they want ideas from us correct? So, I might as well give them to them not matter howbig or small, or if they add on or are something completely new. They are still ideas for improving the game, right?
I understand what you guys mean, but you understand what I mean as well, right?

Thanks.

[YokoX2.0]

Great ideas man i love the voice chat one then i can yell my Great Sayiaman war cry HA HO HA!!!!!! :laugh:

[Vash]

Those are some good ideas and I hope tmyapp aproves to doing this and it might take long but I think he should have those as other new features when he updates bison in September.

[gameboymaster]

These are some very great ideas. Those idea would be very useful. It might take a long time for Tmyapp to do them(if he wanted to) because he has alot of other things to do.

[quote:post_uid7]Training Mode! Thats what I forgot! I cant believe I forgot that![/quote:post_uid7]

I definitly want a training mode on this site. It would be very helpful for people who can't play as good as others.

[D!zzY]

Good job man..........

I got an idea for the clan thing in sfo......i kinda got it from an old online game i used to play called Tanarus.

Anyways here how it goes......
You have to get a certain amount of wins to make a clan. Not too less though then everyone would be making clans..... Lets say 500? anyways after you got to 5 hundred wins a Bar at the top of the chat server shows a button that says create clan. Then after you create a clan 3 buttons show up on the bar. 'Invite', 'Manage', and 'Disband'. Invite will let you invite any player to your clan that hasnt already been invited to another clan or already is in a clan. Once that player has been invited 3 options will pop up on his Clan Bar at the top. Join, Decline, and Ignore. YOU CANNOT JOIN A CLAN WITHOUT BEING INVITED

Ok now the 'Manage' button lets you ummm..... manage your clan. when you click it it takes you 2 a screen with a list of members and the members Stats(Wins,Loses,etc.) and options like 'Change Leadership' and 'Kick Member'. There was also Clan Meeting Chatroom in Tanarus but i dont think we can do that on SFO. I forgot the other options in manage clan though lol. Btw there are no ranks, Only a leader and then the members in order from most wins to least.

'Disband Clan' does just that Disbands the clan.


Ok this comps starting to freeze i'll post more after this....

Edit:Ok now i think top score should change a bit too... They should add a button on that clan bar or maybe sumwhere in the chat that says High Scores. Then when you click on it and you go to a screen with a list of the top 25 or 50. ONLY THE TOP 25 OR 50 THOUGH.And at the top of the sscreen it has 4 buttons. 'Daily', 'Weekly', 'Monthy', 'Lifetime', and 'Clan Highscores'.

Daily is the top 25 or 50 people with the most wins that day.Weekly is the top 25 or 50 wins in that week. Monthly is top 25 or 50 people with most wins that month. And Lifetime are the people with the most wins EVER.

Clan highscores is the same thing. It adds the clans wins togather for clan highscores.


I realize some People will start fighting ####s to get wins for the highscore thing so i think we should devolop a point system.

Howbout this..... Everytime you get on sfo you have a Point Value (PV) of 100 and whenever you fight a person and beat them you take 3/5 of there "PV" and add it to yours..... and the person you beat goes back to the starting PV 100......

Example: Player1 Has a pv of 100 and Player2 has a PV of 500.
They Fight and Player1 wins.Player 1 gets 300 PV added to his 100 which makes 400.

Once you get to a certain PV like 1000 or sumthing you cant play people lets say from PV 600 and less.... you have to play higher PV people. This way No one will fight ####ies just to get real high.

I think They should use points instead of wins for highscores.

Well i had another idea but i forgot it now =(.....

[luigibyluigi]

It is great but ill add one Added by luigibyluigi: If someone creats a charecter and put's it in zip with the same folder the sfo community should be contacted about this and attempt to creat the charecter for better gaming!

[Mr. Bentley]

Whew that was alot to read. *daps forehead with scarf*

[shadowdog2244]

Hey, I have an idea... You know how when your partner leaves a game and you are stuck on your own? I thought about that. I don't know if this would be a good or bad idea, but I will tell anyway.
64. When your partner is to leave a game, the player left alone on the team gains control of the leaving player, instead of the character dying. The player who left would not gain points, but the left alone player would gain the leaving players points. (I just know if this were to happen, there would be some bug where the leaving player would still gain his points, or some thing worse, but it could be done, I think.)
Thanks for the support. I will see you later.

[imported_kill]

Yea man thats a nice idea man i like it it would be tight to be able to do that

[shadowdog2244]

Is he the only person that thinks that? I hope not. Is theer something wrong with the idea or something?

[estset]

Hey man this idea is good my favourite one is this one http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2004-8/799260/38.jpg

[shadowdog2244]

Does anyone else have a favorite? You may think I am trying to get people to post, and well... I sorta am. You know how when you don't post for a while (I think 30 days) and the thread dies? I hope that doesn't happen. I worked pretty hard on these and for them to just dissapear would be a waste for me you, and me. I mean, it was actually made into a "hot" topic. Maybe it is worth something? Although TMyApp may have not read this yet, I am sure he will, and wouldn't it be worth it? I hope it would. Other people say so too right? So I can't be wrong about this right? Well... I hope we can try to keep this thread alive because we want to see these things, not just to keep it alive, or because you feel sad. Thank you for the support estset. I like that one too. A little time if you are doing something or to see who is actually fighting becuase when there are a lot of people, and there is a lot of switching of teams right before starting the game, it can get a little confusing. :confused: *Hey, I actually used that smile correctly.*
Umm....yeah.

[gameboymaster]

I REALLY like all the ideas on this topic...I wanted to post here again because I don't want this topic to be a waste. I want lots of people to see it.:)

[shadowdog2244]

Good, good... How can I make some of the ideas more improved though? How can they be made so advanced that it would require another idea to build upon eachother? *Man, even I think I am starting to become troublesome...*

[gouki2008]

this idea is great

all of that is good ur smart and tym should add password changing to prevent hacking so we can change it regurly

if tym seen this i bet he would have alot of fans and mak ppl want to lpay more if h add some of this stuff nice ideas shadowdog



Edited By -_SKILLZ_- on 1094587207

[SSJKarma]

maybe you should a little know that most of the 50 idea's you said are like already on the TO-DO lists and have been a for a great while ?

the saving feature i remember people asking for it ever since i joined in, that means 3 years ago !
the EXIT feature been talked about with tmyapp and his answer is no way !
for when the game locked down or is messed up, players need to be able to close the program from anywhere !

The VS screen doesn't need to be that pretty, its because its not loading as you say thus there would be no way for you to see that screen. and even if you see that screen what will it improve in the gameplay ?

those are just examples... many of these new features you ask are already in the list, but thing is, that list is very very very long and some times it takes years to create a new feature for it is always delayed cause of the new bugs and fixes tmyapp has to do.

there is a new feature coming right now, only VIPS knows about it since TMyApp asked us to help him out with it. its a not great deal, but its a feature people been wanting for over 3 years now !

believe me, with that feature people might be way happyer, it took a long time but if it gets in in time, you guys will be happy for sure !

anyway catch drift... its oly a matter of time before most of the idea's you asked gets in !

always remember TMyApp isn't a working machine, he doesn't program this game all day long you know, it takes a lot of times for a game to be perfect and no game has been made in a month. give him years and you'll get everything you wanted !

[gouki2008]

we know tmyapp isnt a machine

[shadowdog2244]

You're right Karma, although, heh, I already said why I have all those ideas down. It may take a while, and (if by accident) They may have already been said, but there is a New Features section right? I mean, it wouldn't be here if he didn't want ideas right? I put it just incase... as I have said before. I am surprised I didn't say this, because I am sure I thought about it, but the loading thing doesn't have to be there... I just put it there, I don't really know why... It could/should be taken away to improve the idea. (someone actually helped me improve an idea! Not that I don't like the support...) Strange. I already said why the VS screen could be useful... I didn't say "pretty". I said "cool." There is always a way to make it look "pretty" anyway, I mean, if the game wasn't designed a little "pretty" you would be typing commands to do everything, correct? I mean, and the sort of "pretty" actually would help the game from what I have heard from many other members... Besides, making something more attractive is usually never a bad thing, but a good one, it might even help(trying to stress that,"helping").
I do not care that it will take time to get these ideas fufilled... it is best that they are made period, not made quickly.
Heh, also, I did a bit more than 50 ideas. And, did you see what you did there? Did you see what you said there? "Most." This means I have at least accomplised in making even one new idea, and that still matters.
Whoa... it seems that Moderators disagree. That would seem to be a first.
Why do I feel this is a test? (strange feeling...)
Well, with the exit thing... the way you said it... didn't you just prove my point? I am confused.
I am glad for that new feature. I hope it is successful? (I wouldn't know if this make sense or not... or would I?)
With most of the things you said, did TMyApp tell you this personally? I wish he would tell me what he could and could not do... Maybe it would help out with ideas, or something...
All I asked is for you to read the whole post THEN reply... and even a moderator didn't care to read the whole thing... but I suppose I can't put that against you, since I only wanted you(a moderator) to look, just a little (and you did, thank you), but from what you said, it is obvious you must have read the whole thing before you replied... then why did you bring up the time and already said factor?
To get to the main point of this post (once again I say...)
Everything takes time.
He wants ideas, I (and others) will try to give some.
Some of the ideas don't work, oh well, it was good I (and others) tried.
I do remeber. You just didn't read enough to see for yourself.

Thank you for telling me all these things Karma (first time I ever talked to you), you helped,
shadowdog2244.

Have an excellent day. (not sarcasm... really.) :D

[color=#000000:post_uid7]Shadowdog you should be a moderator or a VIP member(I don't know if you are already a VIP or not)

I have a very important question. What if a person knows another person's password and then changed the password so that the other person will not log into it? Maybe TMyApp would put a secret question also. Alot of programs(msn, etc) do stuff like that. If people wanna change their password they have to answer the owner of the account's secret question first. Then, they can change the password.[/color:post_uid7]

[shadowdog2244]

Apparently the encryption on the passwords is too difficult to have to decrypt over and over, or something rather... Didn't I also talk about this somewhere? Didn't THE Admin (not being rude to Nferno*didn't realize it for a while* and Lefty and 2000, but you know... he is, right?) himself already talk about this somewhere? Heh, there will always be mistakes.

smart ideas

[Master_Jay]

Indeed, I'm not much of an SFO person, but I'd have to say this idea is genius. Best "New Feature(s)" I've seen so far.

[color=#000000:post_uid5]This topic was the second last one in the New Feature forum. Luckily, I wanted to post here so this topic will not be deleted. When topics get old they get deleted soon. So I wanted to post here since shadowdog worked sooo hard on them..it shouldn't be a waste. Please help save this topic :)[/color:post_uid5]

[shadowdog2244]

Even though you have a genuine cause... I don't think you should have done that... I don't think it abides with the rules. Maybe you should try keeping this topic alive by talking about the topic, try to start a discussion about something. Thank you very much. You're a good guy.
I wonder if anyone (the mods and admins) saw my Psyco Bison idea. It seems pretty good, I suppose... They probably already thought of it though, before myself.

Thank you for the support,
shadowdog2244. :D

[gameboymaster]

[color=#000000:post_uid5]ok shadowdog[/color:post_uid5]

[shadowdog2244]

No, thank you. Hmm... When I look at these ideas now.... it would seem I named them wrong. Oh well. The illustrations are so terrible too... I should have tried harder, but I hope everyone gets the idea(s) right? Hmm... if it is really necessary, maybe I should really copy this into word or something for later... as some people have said. I personally think the M.Bison idea is my best... even though it was kinda a skim-through... I really like the continue and character selection times as well.
I hope that new idea of their's (the admins, mods, vips???) Is successful. It seems to be something such as the release of Akuma. I hope it's interestingly convinient? I am so unsure of what I want to say... disorganization...

[Taynted]

i stoped at the part where there are no pictures, my favorite idea of yours was the charging and loading screen with characters, i can just stare at that for um 5 seconds.

[evilhadoken]

man this kid is smart.....the one who typed that long list.

[shadowdog2244]

Kid? I don't think it was some kid who did all that... Some rich and succesful man... I'm just kidding around(common for little kids... I just proved myself wrong?)

No, really thanks. I still have yet to post the buddy chat ideas yet... which are the biggest. I just keep forgetting... I'll try to not be lazy and do some now. I hope the pictures look right. 'Tis gonna be a really elaborate idea... oh man... what did I just say?...
