Yeah, yeah, forget I said anything. I was in error, and I'd edit it out except it'd mess up the conversation now.

Well peppy is in Japan on holiday, so even without his internet connection at home being down and his family away on holiday as well and no easy way to fix the problem, you couldn't blame him for not updating. But it so happens that his internet connection at home IS down and etc etc etc. So don't complain! He'll be back home in a week, after which development will snowball back up to peppy-esque proportions.ZZT the Fifth wrote:

I'm curious, I want to hear! Well, as long as it won't be boring of course, but nevertheless...
I hope this would mean progress would be put, of course that doesn't mean I'm pressuring you peppy. I'm patient, that's what I were to be back when I registered, or at least I think.

I don't need pressure for there to be progress :p. But on the other hand, I didn't think you'd need to ask a question like that - just take a look at the changelog for the first 4 months of development!

(*) I'm back *waves for the audience*
(*) ranking-F error no longer crashes game to windows. Handled with an in-game message for now.
(*) Unplayed songs listing works once again.
I really had to take a bit of time to refamiliarise myself with the code, hey

I'll probably spend the rest of the week working my way through the bugs that have surfaced, and aim for a public fix release this weekend.

Attention Duelists:
There is a bug with beatmap editing in the latest test build. Stay out of Edit Mode on the newest test build, else it will erase all the hitobjects on the beatmap you are editing when you attempt to test/run it.
That is all.

(+) Result sections implemented (automatic time-based). No graphics/ranking screen yet - this will come soon.
(+) 'V' in the editor takes you to the last hitcircle in the beatmap.
(*) Hitting escape during spinner placement removes the spinner from the beatmap (similar to how slider placement works).
(*) Fixed uploading bug reported yesterday.
(*) Click the in-game update prompt button doesn't activate controls behind it.
(*) "Save As" changed to "Save new Difficulty" in the editor.
(*) When saving a new difficulty, the title/author are disabled and the version is focused by default.
(+) Web: Mod Rankings page completed.
Once I finish off the scoring sections, I will definitely be doing a public build. Think mid-week.

(+) Section pass/fail graphics implemented.
(*) 'V' in editor moves to near the end of the song if no hitcircles are placed.
(*) The initial hp-filling acts in a similar way to ouendan (ammended several times). This means that if there is a very long initial lead-in (generally over 10 seconds), it will cycle through the '!!', '!' then 'ki' graphics, else it will remain the 'ki' the whole way.
(*) Fixed crash caused by attempting to connect to IRC at certain points.
Reluctant to do a test build tonight due to only adding the graphics for the pass/fail for sections. I'll do it after I also add sounds to reduce the total filesize of updates required for testers. Let's say that the sprites are looking awesome (thanks LuigiHann) and seem to be working as expected

(+) Added samples for section pass/fail. Created a timeline system to handle samples which aren't to be played instantly.
(*) Fixed bug where hp bar doesn't do its initial fill during lead-in time.
(*) Sliders don't "explode" in edit mode (because notes didn't before and it was inconsistant).
(*) Slightly changed fail animation. How does it look? >.>
(*) Fixed score and ki fighting for draw depth.
Test build is up. Hopefully I'll get some feedback today and be able to do a public release tonight.

That's awesome. It's like the notes are disappointed.peppy wrote:

On a couple of songs, the O flashed on the screen for a moment at the very end of the song (Funky Cat Maybe [normal] was one). Don't know what caused that. Otherwise, I think the O's and X's work pretty great. One thing that occurred to me, that I don't think EBA or Ouendan do but might work here, is have the speed of the ding or buzzer sounds, as well as the flickering of the graphic, be determined by the song's bpm. Not so much that it's in sync with the beat or anything, but just enough that it's faster on fast songs and slower on slow songs, so it flows with the momentum of the song.

Can you give me an example of what you mean by samples of passing an failing? Is it like some music or jingle that plays when you succeed or not?

Happened to me on Okkusenman [Hard] as well. Didn't happen on Grass Stains [Easy] though.LuigiHann wrote:

Also the first time an O or X is going to be displayed during a break, the game window freezes for about half a second. Since this is at a break screen and only happens twice (once for O, once for X) and is only for 0.5 seconds it's extremely minor but idk if that information would damage you.
Strange, though...the second break in Okkusenman is short, so an X/O doesn't display, but there's a break later on which is even shorter (literally like a second) and an O appeared. It didn't disrupt anything, but isn't it supposed to appear on breaks greater than three seconds? At any rate, it's cool stuff.

(+) Custom combo colouring can be setup in the song setup dialog.
(*) Section pass/fail sprites are cached.
(*) Section pass/fail sample volume increased.
(*) Slider ball drops correctly with the new fail animation.
(*) Fixed replay not working for non-ranked songs instantly after playing them.
(*) Date/time is now stored for local replays.
(*) Custom combo colours are retained when saving in the editor.
(*) Upload dialog starts in centre of osu! window, rather than some random location.
(*) Reverting changes doesn't prompt if no changes have been made.
(*) osu! logo on main menu re-rendered (glow at the bottom isn't clipped anymore).
Still got a couple of bug-fixes for the section rankings which I didn't get around to looking at. But there are quite a few other things I got done! Alas, its 3:30am >.>

(*) Background colour changes are saved by the editor.
(*) Restored old tap formula (oops).
(*) Changed 'ki' transition. Looks a lot more natural.
(*) Fixed dodgy window focus problems with osu!.
(!) Migrated to XNAv2, Bass2.4beta. Changed some routines and gained quite a bit of performance, especially on the audio front. Unfortunately sliders are pretty screwed up... not sure if the new XNA is usable.
(+) Web: Player ranking is sortable and fully searchable. (Echo)
(+) Web: Player ranking includes totals of SS, S and A ranks. (Echo)
(+) Web: New frontpage statistics added. Check them out.
(+) Web: Live feed of chat to front page.
Too much experimentation to even warrant a test build tonight. And its 8am, so I'm not confident enough anyways :d. *sleeps*

Now if you could just sort the list by S/SS/A. Would provide for some interesting stats. Maybe a new form of ranking. He who has the most S/SS/A wins.

(+) New game mods: HardRock, SuddenDeath and DoubleTime. SuddenDeath is fixed at no multiplier change, HardRock/DoubleTime are yet to be decided. Feedback welcome.
(+) Mouse wheel changes volume during play mode.
(+) Middle mouse button opens menu during play mode.
(+) Two new sort modes - FavouritesA and FavouritesB. I'll let you figure out those
.
(+) Simple fade, scale, rotation tweens implemented for storyboarding (no editor support).
(+) Simple movement tweens being read from beatmap file for sprites.
(+) Added automatic bpm/offset detection in editor. Not too reliable (as expected) so not sure whether this will make it to public. (Testers can try this using the shortcut alt-t)
(+) Ctrl-Up/Down snaps audio speed to presets in editor.
(+) Added song selection options to clear the unplayed list and delete beatmaps from disk.
(*) Fixed hidden mod affecting edit mode (for real).
(*) Spacebar in play mode skips (even when not watching a replay).
(*) Local replays actually display the date properly (it was being stored correctly since last public build, but not displayed in-game).
(*) Unplayed beatmaps register as played even when they are not ranked.
(*) Removed grey outline from all stars except those used to display difficulty. Looks cleaner this way.
No, I wasn't slacking off -- quite the opposite. I was coding so late over the last few days that I fell asleep before I could post the changelog and make new test builds. I have merged the last three days into a single changelog entry just to save triple-posting. Hope something excites you guys.

Holy wow. That looks terrific.
Those seem to be terrific updates Peppy. I'll update my Osu! when I can, even though I'm not playing as much anymore. My apologies on that.
I can assume what Hard Rock! is going to end up as, but maybe you can make the modifier a little lower than Hidden or something.
Heh, happy days on the monitor. On an unrelated note, today's Chinese New Year!

Feedback:
-Hard rock! should probably have the note positions flipped vertically as well as horizontally, to make it a bit more different. Also, the approach circles should go a bit faster, so that there's less warning. Other than that, I think it's pretty good.
-Double-time mode should really be slowed down to something like 1.5x speed, both for playability and for the sake of sounding better. Right now it's pretty impossible (although I admit I'm not very good at this game, so it oculd just be me) and also the song sounds pretty unpleasant when sped up that much. 1.5x should probably produce better results. You should still call it "double-time mode," though.
-It'd be cool if the little mods mini-menu was arranged something like this:
So roughly opposite mods will be next to each other, for a sort of symmetry. Just a thought.
-Finally, I think that active mods need to be more visibly highlighted.
Other than those mostly-nitpicks, I think these are fun additions. I don't have any good ideas for score modifiers. I don't pay much attention to the rankings, because I don't play at a very high level

I take back what I said about the approach circles in Hard Rock mode. They're definitely fast enough.

Well it kinda ruins the Farucon Pan! competition he posted.
Are there going to be new effects added to the S/SS when you have new modifiers on or is the silver S/SS now going to mean "with positive modifier" rather than "with hidden?" Getting an S/SS that's covered with bells and whistles would be pretty rewarding.

(+) Colour transformations/tweens added for storyboard scripting.
(+) Layer depth handling improved for storyboard sprites.
(+) Easing support for tween lines.
(+) Origin support for storyboard sprites.
(+) IRC sendline cursor location can be seen, as well as selected text.
(*) Fixed clicking "update to latest version" opening webpage at main menu.
(*) Editor help is only displayed on compose screen.
Started work on the osu! official tutorial. Looking pretty neat considering its my first attempt at using storyboarding (via direct scripting - not supported in editor yet)
Exclusively to those using the test build, you can have a look at the tutorial so far by extracting this rar file to your songs directory. Keep in mind the music is temporary until the original track is complete. You will need to be running the latest test build of osu! in order to be able to run this demo.

I started on my storyboard beatmap a couple nights ago but one pile of shit after another is being dumped onto my plate and I really have nothing to report at this point in time ;___; I'm also supposed to be away this weekend (how fortunate) and doubt I'll get much anything done until next weekend

(+) Both types of in-game stars are now skinnable (star.png is the one used for difficulty, star2.png is used for star-bursts).
(+) Added sound sample event type to storyboarding.
(+) Added layering support for storyboarding.
(+) Layer swapping support during gameplay. At the moment a slight 'flash' can be witnessed during a layer swap (ie. failing -> passing, passing -> failing).
(+) Editor respects storyboard scripts, and saves them correctly after load.
(*) Fixed errors with localisation and storyboarding.
(*) Name displayed while watching replays doesn't have '-osu'.
(*) Posting a song with no artist specified doesn't add the '- ' prefix in the forum post's subject.
And with that long run, storyboarding scripting seems near completion. What is left would involve moving the point which the pass/fail graphic appears, and a few minor touches (unless you guys request more).
I'll release the script spec. tomorrow so anyone interested can throw things together even before the editor functionality is available. Of course, if you read above, the editor is now capble of saving and formatting the storyboard scripted beatmaps - so you can add storyboarding in at any point and not worry about losing the script during touch-ups.

(*) New text renderer shouldn't lag anymore (tell me if it does you testers).
(*) Storyboard erroneous lines throw a soft-error and continue to load, rather than crashing osu!.
(*) Erroneous beatmap files which cannot be read at all are caught and a dialog will prompt on osu! start to delete such files.
(*) Timing setup window sample preview buttons update depending on the choice in the window.
(*) Timing points with sampleset changes which occur simultaneous to a hitcircle apply the sample change to that hitcircle itself.
(*) Fixed bug where 'nnnn' would end up in the search bar when answering popup dialogs when exiting the editor.
(*) Total restructure of input and main game loop code. Wow, that was scary.
(*) Japanese unicode font sprite dropped from dll. All song titles are now rendered using the new font renderer, with native fonts on your system. This means that song titles should potentially be fully unicode supportive. Of course, there are some forum/web scripts that don't support such characters yet which will need modification too.

(*) Startup time reduced by a further 66%. Overall, an 82% change in the time required to process each beatmap you have in your directory. This also means the ranked status of songs can be stored locally, and built up in an index. Which means we should see ranked/unranked filters and mass-updating pretty soon.
(*) Fixed selection not being deselected on mode changes.
(*) Removing/adding favourites is now creator-specific.
(*) Fixed minor graphics bug with username input on ranking screen.
What a long weekend. Had to take a forced break from coding taking visitors around sightseeing, so progress is less than usual. Fortunately, tomorrow is a public holiday, and I definitely plan on getting a public release up. Apart from the HUGE performance increases, I'm sure I'll find something extra to add in on top before I put the release up. Look forward to it!

Just gave the boot-up a test run. The first time after running osume.exe it took ~20 seconds to start up, though ZoneAlarm MAY have been to blame for that. Subsequent client launching takes about 3 seconds. Now, to just test a clean startup boot...brb ~5 minutes
also I do not mind the main menu bg; I kinda like it. Perhaps this is something that could be user-configurable?

If you want to test a cached run, run once then run another time after the osu!.db file is generated. This should be ~82% faster.
Looking forward to hearing your results
Doing both of those it took ~ 3 seconds to start up.
For some reason, though, the first time I run it since I start my PC up, it takes about 20 seconds. Then again, it's worth noting that the first time I open firefox since my computer's started up, it takes about 15 seconds.
I bet once I format my computer it'll take like 5 seconds at the most. I just have an entire library of CDs I need to find before I can do that.

(*) Song selection uses new text renderer fully.
(*) Require only one 'enter' press when selecting difficulty of active song.
(*) Only ask about using 1/8 snap divisor the first time the editor is opened.
(*) Popup dialog closes correctly when leaving song selection.
(*) Tidied up score list layout.
(*) Changed update warning to bring up a once-off dialog.
As much as I wanted to get a public build up today, there are two bugs I haven't yet fixed. It'll have to be tomorrow
.
Got quite a bit done today though, including rewriting the updater. Should hopefully help those people having trouble updating.
Known bugs:
* editor timing point add bug
* mouse rotation stops
* ranking screen stucking
* screenshot transparency
