Find Rockers - Revamped

rob (Admin) on December 5, 2009 at 4:38 PM
I've revamped the Find Rockers page to be a lot more robust now. If you haven't seen the page before, it lists users on the website who match closely with the same songs you have, so you can play online with a better experience.

I've added:
Filtering by percent compatible, instrument, difficulty, age, and timezone
The display of what difficulties the user likes to play at for each instrument.
What their preferred instrument is.
One to one comparison against another user.
The results now load a lot faster, since its pre-calculated what your percent match is.

Hope you guys enjoy these new features!

looks cool! would there be a way that we could see which of our songs that they don't have and which of their songs that we don't have?

@CrazyXie Yea this ability actually already exists if someone is on your friends list and you compare between each other. I just need to expand it so you can compare with people outside your friends list... so that should be coming soon :)

sweet! you are so awesome!
rob (Admin) on December 5, 2009 at 7:09 PM
@CrazyXie This is now updated to do that.

wicked! sorry to be so needy, but can you also add a link to this awesome compare page via each person's profile page?

p.s. you have been so responsive compared to other things i've dealt with that i've given you a donation, i think your hard work is totally worth paying for :)

@CrazyXie Thank you! :) That isn't' a problem, I just added it next to the "Add Friend" link so you can compare while viewing a profile.

One problem with the song comparison:

You should be able to filter the Beatles songs out just in case you don't have the game.

@MourganDespana I'll definitely take that into consideration when its comparing, I'll try to work something out to determine if you both own it before the compare. Thanks!

would it be better to do the comparison arrows in the same column as the percentage compatibility? because it doesn't really make sense to sort by "compatibility arrows"
rob (Admin) on December 8, 2009 at 1:02 PM
@CrazyXie I like that idea, and your right it doesn't make sense to sort that column, which I could disable... but it does look clean by the %, so I've added it.

how about adding a way for you to specify if you are looking for people to play with and when you are *generally* online?
rob (Admin) on December 13, 2009 at 9:46 AM
Thanks for the suggestion! I'll take that into consideration for more settings

I just tried to filter the thing by drums, and it didn't seem to work (still showed all the instruments). Is it just me?
rob (Admin) on December 14, 2009 at 6:17 PM
When filtering it like that, it'll still show all the instruments, but showing you in this case all users who Prefer the drums. You ahold see the thumb icon indicating that's their preferred instrument. Hopefully that makes sense :)
CrazyXie on December 14, 2009 at 6:44 PM
are you sure? i still see exactly the same screen as if i filtered it by nothing.
rob (Admin) on December 14, 2009 at 7:37 PM
@CrazyXie My bad... you're totally right. Wasn't working after I recently added something, but it is now fixed :)
