Colors Wont Show On Preview
« on: March 06, 2010, 10:27:18 am »
I noticed on some videos of Audiosurf, the preview for the ride has some colors on it to predict what colors will come, but those do not show on my previews, how do i make them show?

i attached a picture to show what i want it to look like.

before the update it used to do that, but after the latest community update, it shows other players riding that song and their positions.

Go check Audiosurf Overture, there are always players riding it and you can see how it works...

I wonder why they removed it, it seems like a helpful thing to use.

Not particularly, it doesn't show all the colors(obviously, that would get crowded) and you would need quite a giant head for strategy to make use of it beyond "okay, looks like we're starting off with some low colors and splotches of red".

Not to say that some of the people here wouldn't be able to use it effectively, just not very many.  If you really want it back, maybe the option could be there in preferences?

You can kinda guess what colours are going to show anyway from just the track shape. Thought seeing who else is riding the song is interesting.
Austria is just like Yorkshire, but they have bigger hills.... oh and they have real snow too
