(+) 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.
Aiming to get a test build out tonight. Let's see now.

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 see. My idea was basically - on the left, and + on the right, with the "no change" ones thrown wherever they fit best in relation to the others.peppy wrote:

Requesting an option to add an entire osz (ie all difficulties) to favourites as oppose to just doing each difficulty at a time ={
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
this sucks >=L

(+) 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.

Nice, storyboarding sounds seriously awesome. I lack the artistic talent to make my own storyboards though, maybe I'll subcontract to Trish or something.

(*) 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.

(+) Keyboard control in song selection drastically improved.
(*) Video performance +25%.
(*) Song selection performance +70%.
(*) Sprite rendering performance +15%.
(*) Fullscreen bug fixed (I think - can't replicate).
(*) Changed hit circle hit animation (a bit less smooth, more impact?). What do you think?
(!) Quite a huge internal change for those performance increases - testers please check well for bugs.
Externally boring yet very tedious changes that hopefully some of you will appreciate.

(+) Maximum score/combo achievable is viewable in test mode.
(+) Even while in distance snap mode, you can stack notes on other notes and sliders without toggling snapping off.
(*) Fixed bug where mouse speed gets reset on running the updater.
(*) Fixed bug in song selection (random crashes).
(*) Improved syncing of videos where offset is negative.
(*) Improved database performance of score retrieval and submission.
(*) Fixed unmapped songs from appearing incorrectly on song select.
(*) Circles only light up when they can actually be hit/missed (not when they can only be shook). I'm pretty sure this is how ouendan works... and even if not - it feels better.
(*) Restored dimming settings/letterboxing to how they were before countdown. Excluded countdown from dimming.

(*) 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 clean run, delete the osu!.db file. This should be ~50% faster than before.awp wrote:

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.

It's the same with me, first time I run Osu! after I start my computer takes way longer than any time after that. Is there any reason for this?

(*) Taking a screenshot pauses gameplay until saving is complete.
(*) Screenshots can be snapped when chat is visible.

Okay, released a bug-fix kinda release tonight. Hopefully I can fix a few of the outstanding problems with the new build. Keep the feedback coming so we can get things in a stable state again asap .qft
Take particular heed to:
(*) Added a toggle to turn internal frame sync back on on the options screen. Anyone experience newly-found lag - could you please try turning this on and report results?
I'm interested to see if it fixes the lag for some people. Personally, it actually *adds* stuttering to the game, and other testers have found the same thing, but this is the one biggest change I made to the timing of the game (yes, I basically rewrote it) and this checkbox should flick it back to how it used to be. If you are still getting problems even after switching back, I know the cause lies elsewhere.
p.s. I am still looking for more people willing to help test osu! before releases. At the moment (as you can see) there are still many bugs that make it to the public release due to the small number of helpful testers on the team. If you think you can spare some time and help report and diagnose bugs while enjoying the latest and greatest daily builds of osu!, please contact me preferrably on IRC.

skin selection looks something like this. the beatmap plays by itself, and doesn't do a perfect job so you can see the various hit sprites. i hope to improve this sometime in the future, but for now it is a lot better than cycling through the skins.

Responding a bit late, but I read this all the time. I usually don't post anything because I don't have much of anything to say.peppy wrote:

But I think Osu! really is the best freeware game I've ever played. There's a lot of effort put in to it, and it's definitely worth the effort.
I don't know of any way to check for sure, but I think that Osu's my second-most used program, next to Firefox.

. I'd really like to see some more activity on the forums, but don't have any bright ideas to see this happen. I call community meeting #2 soon!!1Maybe it's a little last minute but how about a meeting during this easter break?

I guess that could work, depending on how many peopel choose to go away during it. And how many other countries actually get holidayschan wrote:

(+) osu! accepts .osr files, and imports then to local ranking.
(+) Added hit accuracy statistics in test mode. Should be useful for calculating incorrect offsets.
(*) When dragging files into osu! in edit mode, you will be prompted to save current work before the editor exits.
(*) Receiving files by drag-drop or association handled a lot better.
(*) All samples in-game are checked for silence. Should help a lot with offset/latency issues.
(*) Fixed grid snapping menu item not updating its ticked status.
(*) Countdown now halves in speed with songs over 180bpm (previously 240bpm+).
(*) Menu button graphics changed again.
Public version is sitting ready to upload. But I'm going to do it when I wake up - not feeling 100% confident.
If any of you mods out there have timing discrepancies (ala offset) please wait for this to go up before ranking stuffs.
