Idea List / Features missing / Bugs that need fixing

Yeah when you look at it in developer mode, you can see that it (the hitbox) doesn't quite move all the way with the head.

 

oh yea, i forgot about developer mode.

 

• Allow owners of conversations to actually delete their conversations instead of waiting for the staff team
• Have a request page for deleting accounts
• Have a requesting page for OA so staff profiles do not become completely filled
• Allow oneself to change their email address on their account (If email does not work anymore)
• Remove the Campaign Track Contests section because then ended long ago and/or actually add these things in
• Update the site
• Add more Campaigns?
• Maybe add more stuff to the shop?

More may come soon

 

YES ALL OF THESE

 

There should be a option for deactivation/deletion of accounts. Because it's annoying waiting months for a response :m

 

And maybe a stale account deletion, or at least removing it from the leaderboard? Because it is annoying being behind people who haven't played in over two years.

 

• go settings
• press preferences

 

okie. I knew there's something here like that lul

 

https://community.freeriderhd.com/account/preferences

 

I figured it out right after I posted it. (Even tho Goblin quoted it before)

 

Make users be able to delete their own tracks. It's annoying when you want to delete a track and you can't. Also allow a list version option of all your tracks on your account with categories like most liked, uploaded date, most plays, etc

Allow people to update uploaded tracks. If there is a bug on the track or the track breaks, the author will have the option to fix the track and re-upload it without taking up track space (aka shtposting and/or copypasta). I'm thinking it'll send a notification if there's major improvements

 

This is a great idea and all, but what if someone hacks an account? And what if that account had features that are now scribbles?

 

So for all those on Mac (myself included) the shortcut to undo is cmd+z. However, the editor still wants me to press ctrl+z and ctrl+y instead of cmd+z and cmd+shift+z. If you could fix that, that would be great! Thanks a lot!

 

They are nowhere near each other. Unless I am misunderstanding you...

 

ohh..... ok.
I just click in the general area and I usually get the avatar.

 

i know no one uses it but the offline editor hasn't been updated for long
it doesnt have teleport or vehicles apart from heli
grid snap ain't custom
and more new features
pls update

 

Change the whole website, make it like you know who’s typing and everyone can see It at the same time, cause I need to click to the the alert or inbox again and is a bit annoying, make it a bit more SIMPLE

 

Yes, kinda but not exactly, also why having this website when discord is way much more organized

 

This is a forum. There is an official Discord room for FRHD if that's what you're looking for.

 

Discord's useful for casual talk, and since it's a widely used platform these days it'll also hopefully increase interest in the game, + if we ever get the server verified, it'll also show up in search results.
However discord fails in 3 aspects, in which I believe the forums are a better replacement:
- Markup
The forums really excel in terms of markup. You can easily navigate between different fonts, text sizes, text colours, paragraph placement etc.

You	can
even create	tables

. You can only easily create bold, italic, crossed-through text, and spoilers on discord, with different text colours only really accessible using code boxes, of which colours are limited. You can't even create a hyperlink
This all helps to make the forums better in terms of
- Organisation
The increased accessibility and range of tools on the forums help to organise projects such as the official ghosts thread or the timeline. It makes threads like these easier to read and navigate. In my experience, discord has been pretty useless and at best of times very restricting when it comes to trying to create tidy messages that contain content similar to the above linked threads, a task made even more difficult due to a lack of preview and character count of only 2000.
Lastly, any decent project needs to have easily readable support (i.e. commentary), in which the platform you're using needs to have good
- Structure
When it comes right down to it, discord was made with easy-flowing talk in mind, which consequently also means a lack of message structure. The forums have different boards, threads and pages to separate inidividual messages and to increase their relevancy to the main topic, but on discord there's only so many categories and channels you can create before it starts to become cluttered and daunting to newer members. The forums deal with this issue by listing the different threads in terms of last message by default (you can list them by another value if you want) and also having a box on the main page showing the latest replied to threads, so as to show what's reasonably popular at the time. Discord doesn't have this feature, you create a channel/category, it stays there in the same position with no indication of total message count or view count, if you're a new member you can't immediately tell which channels are the most active ones. This tends to decrease relevancy to the main topic being discussed in more popular channels, as newer users will often swamp the channel with their own issues, and due to the lack of the equivalent to the forum's thread pages, it's harder to navigate back/read through past messages.
In addition, anybody can create their own thread on the forums, which promotes tidiness and relevancy in itself. On discord, only mods/admins (or really anybody with a role with channel-creating perms) can create a channel. Other users have to rely on what's given to them.

All in all, I believe discord's better for more casual, free-flowing conversation, whereas the forums are more useful for organising and maintaining more official and popular events. Both are equally important.
