Friday Night Funkin': Kade Engine (2024)

Kade Engine is a engine made by KadeDev for Friday Night Funkin'. It takes the original engine and improves/adjusts it in many ways.

New Additions

Kade Engine overhauls Friday Night Funkin's input system. Updated versions of the Kade Engine ensure the least input drops, unlike the vanilla pre-week 7 FnF game. Unfortunately, vanilla week 6's input system has major flaws, resulting in many input drops usually occurring in fast sections due to being unable to rapidly handle many notes in a short time. During that time, when week 7 wasn't open source,fan-developed engines such as Kade's are requirements for many new mods. mods that don't often become very hard to play.

Kade Engine's inputs do not check if an input is pressed every frame, but instead acts when a key is pressed directly. This prevents input drops caused by skipped frames, which is a benefit for good players.

  • CPU Strums Stay Static/Light Up (An option to change if the CPU's strums light when hitting a note or not.)
• Miscellaneous (Misc.) Section
  • Better fps font
  • FPS Visibility (An option to change if it is possible to see the FPS or not.)
  • Toggle Flashing Lights (An option to on/off flashing lights. May cause epileptic seizures if on.)
  • Toggle Watermarks (An option to toggle watermarks of the Kade Engine.)

  • Toggle Miss Sounds (An option to toggle the miss sounds when not hitting a note.)
  • Toggle Score Screen (An option to toggle the score screen at the end of a song/week. This score screen shows accuracy in a chart-like form, final rating [if the player has MFC, GFC, FC, or SDCB and if the player has AAAAA, AAAA:, AAAA., all the way down to D], etc.)
  • Show All Inputs (An option to toggle if every input is on the accuracy chart.)
  • Optimization (A way to toggle characters, backgrounds, and everything else but notes, to make it feel like a normal rhythm game.) (This has been somewhat disabled in 1.8)
  • Preload Characters (A way to toggle character loading on engine startup. Requires high memory.)

The player can change how the strums and arrows move. This requires naming the modchart file "modchart.lua" exactly and coding what the player wants the arrows to do. Modchart tutorials are found at the github here.)

Trivia

• As of version 1.5, the opponent's arrows glow when hit as well. CPU note glows trigger when they hit a note, and the glow animation loops on sustain. For single hits, the note glows for as long as the glow animation lasts, unlike player-controlled notes, which play the note hit animation but freeze at the last frame if the note is held and isn't sustaining.
• Version 1.6 makes it possible for mods to have locked weeks.
• Health and points work differently: While sicks and goods give the same number of points in comparison to vanilla, bads are worth 0 points, and sh*ts are worth -300 points, and they both deduct health from the player. sh*ts count as a miss and are extremely rare due to their small, time window.
• If the player's accuracy mode is simple (accurate), it will be calculated like this: Sicks are worth 1 hit, goods are worth 0.75 hits, bads are worth 0.5, and sh*ts are worth -1. Misses count as 0. During a note sustain, it will add 1 hit every so often, making high accuracy scores easier to hit for songs with long sustain sections. Accuracy is calculated by this formula: NOTES HIT / TIMES THIS COUNTER WAS UPDATED.
• If the player's accuracy mode is complex, it will be calculated with Wife3. Each "time difference", the absolute value of the difference between the time players are supposed to hit the note and the time a note is hit has an associated "notes hit" value, ranging from 1 to -6 (slightly less than that). This makes getting a 100% accuracy score nearly impossible, as all inputs MUST be within 5ms. Safe frames affect how accuracies are calculated. The accuracy score can go negative, but the game won't display any value below zero, despite still internally storing that negative value. It is possible for the accuracy to go negative despite having a full combo.
• Complex accuracy mode tends to focus the most on sick to good ratio. The marginal (derivative of the) accuracy punishment is less for greater time differences.
• Version 1.5 fixes some input drops situated in version 1.4. Mods using KE 1.4 may have users experiencing input drops, making modding with 1.4 discouraged, alongside the extremely broken arrow trails that were fully fixed in version 1.6.
• Kade engine has changed what was perceived to be normal within the Friday Night Funkin' game. Originally, the new input system was not recognized upon first release and was only seen for forcing on ghost tapping, as many new players did not realize that Friday Night Funkin' dropped many of their inputs, but now, the problem of dropped inputs is long gone.
  • But KadeDev added safe frames, to prevent spamming to get the player 100% accuracy.
