I ended up not implementing playlist functionality because uhm, I was stopped.

Unlikely it will happen.

Heres another one: if you press Escape from the screen, it selects another song in play state (like that recently fixed osudirect issue)

It's so unfortunate if we can't do that again T_T
Just like loosing one good point of osu! :(

I think I fixed that off-handedly along with the new fixes.

So we're just going to lose functionality that we've had forever? What's changed now?

Hello guys

My changes are now in test build. Please confirm that they work.

Thank you!

To me you solved only the first two problems :<
Nyquill
huh. I swear song history was fixed when I tested it. I'll look at it again. Should be the only thing left to do.
Shivarion
Please brings back playlist function :( it was really good
Nyquill
contrary to what changelog says, the changes are now in public.

Also, I'm going to look at making at least what we had before available again.

Sorry to bother you but problem 4,5,6 are still there :<

Wow glad to hear that !! :) :) Do your best >.<

I re-implemented the play pool functionality awaiting merge.

I'm still working on the play history being silly.

I have added back what we had before for playing from the filtered list as a song pool, and it is now in test build.

PLAY HISTORY Y U DO DIS

I really appreciate it, thanks a lot!

Noticed something while checking it out, when a song is selected from the pool the last song will never be picked, for instance in http://puu.sh/aatqJ/cd63ee0792.jpg you'll never hit Dear Future no matter how many times you skip forward/backward.

seems to be something that deals with the upper limit of random itself, easy enough to fix but my setup died, I'll work on it once I get it fixed.

Could you perhaps make the random better so it goes through more different songs instead of picking the same songs? I seem to get the same song played twice within a few songs time, and it's not really pleasant. You could try using a Mersenne Twister (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mersenne_twister) as your RNG.

The current RNG has a period of 2^128-1. It is far more than ever necessary for osu!. What you are tlaking about is the fact that you are human and expect random numbers to be more "random", where "random" depends on the scenario.

The best way to fix this is to store a history of recent plays and not play them again. This is of course a possibility. Just keep in mind this is making it LESS random, not more ;).
Blaizer
I understand this, and I never said "make it more random". It's just that for a jukebox, it's better to have a shuffle system than a more "random" system (or shall we say, a system where it's harder to predict the next song to be chosen). For example, iTunes' shuffle system literally plays each song in a list once. Another example is the radio. You'd never hear the same song on the radio played twice within even a few hours time. You could have a shuffle system, or you could use a mersenne twister. Both will probably make the jukebox a lot better.

I fixed random not ever selecting the last song in my branch. Going to start on making random ignore songs from recent history.
