Feature suggestions: Medley game-mode and more

[kamilr2000]

Hi. First of all thank you for giving us this game. I had so much fun making karaoke parties with your webapp!

Anyways, I don't know if i'm writing in good place but I hope I am.

I would like to suggest adding new game mode : Medley Medley mode was introduced in some Singstar game ( idk which exactly) but it basically chooses random chorus from 5 songs. I think it would work very well if there was an option to create a "Playlist" - so that player could choose which song would be available or visible for this game mode (or for all even - i think it would help players who randomly search through now over 1000 songs :P )

Secondly, I know that you are working on multiple microphone support (I'm waiting impatiently), but in the meantime is it possible to change functionality of Input Lag setting, so that every device had a way to change it for itself? For now playing Microphone vs Smartphone is really difficult, because from my experience Smartphone phones work the best with about 500ms and Plugged-in Microphones work the best around 0ms, so making it as fair as possible is difficult. It would really help imo.

And lastly, I think you could add a way to add suggestion for new songs, and maybe some like/dislike system, so anyone interested in making new songs, could see what people want.

Anyways once again thank you very much, the game is super fun. I really hope this feedback is helpful. Keep up the good work

Hey, thanks for the feedback and it's always great to read someone enjoys the game :)

Singstar's medleys were certainly fun and are something I would like to add at some point. There are some things to figure out (e.g. when to start and finish a song for one) to make it work. Though currently there are some more pressing things to do first, such as multiple microphone support you mentioned.

I wasn't aware about input lag issue when using different sources, I'll take a look at it when I have a chance

For song requests, this also sounds like a good idea for the future, as currently actually few people request songs through Facebook, many just straight up add UltraStar version to the game and share :) But at some point this might slow down and the insight what's sought after would be invaluable

Hi, I added option to specify microphone input lag for the smartphone (it's available when you connect to the game -> settings tab -> microphone settings), hopefully it will make it easier to play in such configurations. If you have a chance to use it next time you play, let me know if that made a difference :)

I tested it using those settings: 0 input lag on PC Microphone and 300 ms on Smartphone phone. I tested both microphones side by side, and the Smartphone one was registrating weirdly. It was like signal from smartphone was uploaded to the web interface every 300ms or something. But when I opened OBS to record this, it just started working flawlessly haha. So for now it is working for me as intended and it's so much better and easier to equalize miicrophone's input lag. If i encounter similar problem to what i saw I will record it and post it to You, but for now thanks for amazing work. :D

The issue you described happens from time to time but I have no idea why, never managed to catch it reliably :( In the meantime, the game finally supports multiple different microphones, I'd be glad to hear how it works for you :) It's available in input selection, either in Advanced or Multiple Microphones -> Multiple Different Microphones
