Some of these ideas can be done quickly , others MIGHT take a VEEEEEEEEERY LOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG TIME to make , but , anyways , I included BOTH types of ideas !
Some of the them are already present in the game.
ALL the essential shortcuts included ( Ctrl+Z = undo , etc ! )
There are shortcuts. In the PC version, they are shown when you hover your mouse. Undo = Shift + Z.
Working offline on ALL devices ( Since it's HTML5 , I guess maybe it's easy to do that ! Maybe the ability to download tracks on your device , too ! )
Maybe.
COLOURS in the Track Editor ( Scenery AND lines too AND the start AND finish poles too ! )
Colors will ruin the game. The shading is the art. Colors will make people fill the whole thing with one color as seen in FR2. Detailing is already quite complex, colors will make it near impossible to actually make a perfectly colored and detailed track. You may say, "Don't like it, don't use it", but some people will (they'll misuse it), and in the end, the track quality will be greatly decreased.
Powerup Lines ( Basically drawing a line that contains a powerup , throughout its whole length ! With that feature included , adding powerups would be , EASY ! )
There has been a request thread just a few days ago.
Cool Lines ( Not that I really want them , but having , slippery ice , rough rocks , and other stuff like that in the track editor , would be really fun ! )
Ice would be interesting. Rocks can be made by drawing them.
MEGA zoom in and zoom out ( Many users , not me though , have requested that ! )
Yes. I'm note sure about MEGA zoom out though.
Customising how a bike looks ( NO performance upgrades , ofcourse ! ) ( Maybe with a personal and public gallery to share/add stuff ! ) ( I think the ONLY use for the coins you earn , could be this ! )
It is already planned, durh. Also, coins for uploading tracks is required to reduce spammy tracks. If you really make good tracks, you'll become a classic author and will be able to upload for free.
Switch between controls on mobile and tablet devices ! ( Either tiling the device , OR , arrow keys ! )
Maybe.
Checkpoints that DO NOT erase the stars you previously collected ( I guess that's more of a bug , than an idea ! )
Checkpoints return you to the time you passed through, not just the place. If this feature is included, people will intentionally die to save time. That is against skillful play.
Uploading images to use as scenery ( Again , not that I really do want them , but , this would be cool ! If animated GIFs and/or animated PNGs and/or animated SVGs are supported , then , that would not just be cool , but , AWESOME ! )
Animated lines may be cool, but it may hurt the eyes and it is very complex too. Images as scenery is not possible, and I'm not fond of the idea either.
Collaborating on tracks together ( Previously , users used to share account passwords with each other , like maybe create a brand new account , but if collaboration becomes available , all they need is a private link that will be generated , they open the link at the SAME TIME , and start editing together ! I also was thinking that maybe there could be OPTIONAL password protection on the link , but maybe if the ALL the collaborators had an account on FRHD , then the link would be restricted to ONLY them , without a password ! And when they wish to add another FRHD member , they should be able to do that , too ! Also , a chat bar next to the track editor ! Maybe with an audio chat OPTION , just NOT a video chat one ! )
Dunno. But collaboration feature will help.
REALLY Official Tracks ( In FR3 , official tracks used to be ANY tracks that are SELECTED by the FR staff , but , what if ONLY tracks made BY the staff , and some chosen users who have previously created AWESOME tracks , are the ONLY tracks considered OFFICIAL , and are then used in the campaign mode , and can ONLY be played in that mode ONLY , !? )
Campaigns will contain hand-picked (devs select the tracks) tracks made by the community, i.e. official tracks in your words.
A clear EVERYTHING button in the track editor ( That also should bring back that default small straight line ! )
Durh, it's already there. Pay attention before posting such things.
Changing the default shortcuts ( With a ' reset to defaults " button , ofcourse ! Maybe a type of link that you click and it allows you to use the shortcuts that ANOTHER USER created ! Although that is not something that I really need ! )
Maybe.
I think that if there will be other vehicles , then a skateboard and a scooter are enough , although I am confused about how tracks will be built for them ! I just think that these are actual vehicles , because that almost invincible truck , that pass through ANY line blob , and those CRAZY helicopter and balloon , are just stuff for fun , and , not for making tracks with them ! Although , maybe include the truck , and disable it , on the campaign mode , um , because it's almost invincible , DUH !
Maybe. New vehicles will added in the future.
Parallax scenery ( Again and again , not that I really would need it , but , that would be cool , if included ! )
Yes.
An OFFICIAL wiki ! ( ALMOST EVERY , popular game , has a wiki ! )
I have made an unofficial wiki, but the devs have approved it. What do you want more? Your "ALMOST EVERY popular games" have unofficial wikis.
A way to control the speed of the scrolling of the camera on the track editor , maybe a button that automatically takes you to the LAST part of your track , too !
First one, maybe. Second, not so sure.
The powerup button should change its icon AFTER selecting a powerup , instead of the powerup bar ALWAYS being shown !
Maybe.
A special icon for the FINAL goal , maybe like the classic two poles and the word " FINISH " written between them , and maybe something like this for the START of the track !
Just draw it, durh. FRHD gives more freedom on how you want the starting or ending because you draw the things you want.
A way to draw your own lines and them save them so that you can use them later ( With a public gallery to add any of the user created ramps , etc , to your track , when you are editing it ! )
Also , text scenery ( With colours , font size selection , etc ! But , can HTML5 use the fonts on my computer !? I think that maybe ONLY Adobe Flash can do that , but I am not very sure ! Also , if I am able to use my installed fonts , should the track editor convert them to images , so users that do not have those fonts installed on their devices can see them , or should those font files be automatically converted to the VERY small sized .woff extension , so that the users can see REAL text instead of images , and , also , save the FRHD server costs !? )
Text Scenery? Nope. Tracks are praised for the drawings, not the text. The lesser the text, the better most of the times. And you can draw lines to add text. Nobody likes text a paragraph long. You'll able to draw one line text easily in no time.
