1. BPM: 95.30

Yup, this seems like it's the real deal. ah~thanks very much for timing help!

Also:

00:17:06 (4,5) - Hmmm, you need to restack these. Know how? You can use a Distance Snap multiplier of 0.0x, and turning Grid Snap off. Try to move the note around and tada~ fixed

This difficulty looks good.

And yay Breeze map.

The following are suggestions of course.
Modding starts here!

[General]
For timing sections silencing a beat at the end of a slider(or a repeat), set it directly on the end, it won't effect it.
Like in Normal: 00:14:54 - Move that silent section here. Do this only for slider repeats or ends. Circles or beginning of sliders, keep it early. (You did 00:51:82 (8) right.) I think it's OK, anyway, thanks for this suggestion

[Normal]

--Kiai
Why does it start 1/4th early?

--Beatmap
00:45:85 - A spinner(if placed right)would sound neat here! yeah, you're right
01:24:07 - Spinner too? (Not too long, so they still get a break. ) fixed
[/Normal]

Feel free to PM in IRC if you make another difficulty, so I can mod again.

Nothing much. >_> Other than the ugly sliders(I can fix them up. n.n). (I think some of them may be unrankable)

What bothers me is that it follows the lyrics. >_> That's really it

Just a couple general comments

I got an offset of 374, which is only -6, so not a big deal. I'm not good at timing, anyway, I believe you're right, fixed

Between the two difficulties, it's somewhat difficult to tell which is the easier difficulty and which is the harder one. Based on the HP drain, I'm guessing Buddies is Hard mode. The Difficulty sliders are rather similar between the two, and it blurs the line a bit.

[Friends]
Given that Friends should be the easier difficulty, my advice is to let go of the lyrics a bit. You really should be avoiding quarter-snapping at all costs (except perhaps in rare cases of short repeat sliders such as 00:14:85 (1) - this seems okay and very appropriate to me). The problem with lyric snapping in songs like this is that you need to basically know the song by heart to play it, and that distances the vast majority of players from following along. It should have a natural, fluid feel to it. reduced the diffculty of [Friends]

00:14:06 (7) - While I don't want to trample on creativity, I find the silent slider tails very off-putting. I can understand not wanting to trample over the rhythm of the song, but might I recommend briefly switching to the soft sampleset instead of pure silence? A nice little jingle sounds good, in my opinion. added soft hit sound

00:32:95 (1) - Having these land off-beat sounds odd to me. You don't need to have a break in there, so you can extend spinners like this an extra half-beat.

Seems like you've got a decent feel for beatmapping otherwise, though if I were to be picky I'd mention the occasional trips I encountered on Buddies such as 00:34:85 (3) - (the activity prior to this makes me think something is happening on the half-beat when it isn't; quarter-beat mapping is tricky to do intuitively) even though I don't understand something...anyway, thanks very much to advice me so many tips



Buuuut I'll give you a coveted awpstar, since I think this map is reasonably well on its way. Also, I like the simple storyboard touches. I was hoping to see this song on osu! eventually.

Small spacing Map would be more fun with 0,8x or 1,0x spacing. okay, I'll think about it, but allowed me keep it first
The Double spacing wasn't what I expected actually, I expected huge spacing because of the big signs with CAUTION!! DOUBLE SPACING!!, if the spacing of the whole map would be bigger the signs would fit better imo. but it DO is double spacing last part o.o

00:34:21 (1) - Not rankable to have notes 1/4 after a spinner. Shorten the spinner or remove the note.
00:39:25 (1) - ^
00:44:28 (1) - ^ let me think about it...the follow note is at the middle so it's not so hard to hit
01:17:02 (2) - Put this note 1 level 3 grid down so that the spacing is consistent.
01:17:18 (3) - ^ fixed
02:40:60 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - You could better storyboard a sign here with BPM x2 or something, cause this is more unexpected as the double spacing thingy.
02:45:64 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7) - ^ I think it's unhitable, so use 1xBPM then

02:18:09 (1,1,1,1,1,1,1) - Not sure if this really should be single note combos.... that's for TAG XD
02:53:03 (1) - Try making it shorter by 1/4 to see that if it sounds better to you. I think it's OK

Notes: The map is nice so far, but the spacing feels a bit uneven. Make sure to check the spacing as best as you can (even comparing the space to the size of the notes can help). Also, make sure the shapes are not too uneven at least so that it doesn't effect the playability. checked, spacing is correct~

Overall: The map and the SB is good so far. Not overdone or lacking. Make sure to look into the errors and to also check for more to make things easier for you. Good job overall though and i'll drop my star in then. thanks for your greaaaaaaaat mod!!

Blegh - the maps look fine to me, but the background image appears for a split instant at the very beginning of the map. I'm not sure whether or not this is a bug in the v6 file format, but you can easily fix this, bug or not, by adding the following SB line:

F,0,-500,0,0,1

to the code block:

Sprite,Background,Centre,"black.png",320,240
M,0,0,5489,-49,240
F,0,-500,0,0,1 (<--See, I added this line here) OK, fixed! When I finished this SB, I didn't know anything about SB by scripte ;_; I start to use SB by scripte in the after maps

that'll make the background fade more elegant instead of abrupt and WTF-ish

imo it's a trivial reason to pop a bubble, but since all your scripting is in your .osu files (took me a lil while to figure out why, but I got it) I don't know if this is something that can be fixed post-rank without unranking, so ;______; I'll have to pop it for now, but I should be able to immediately re-bubble once it has been tweaked. PM me on the forums so I actually know to recheck, thanks.

aaaaargh I'm sorry but I didn't do a comb-over of the files when I made my last post - what you have is good, but you need to do some clean-up.

white-1.png is never used in the SB, so you should delete it from the folder. oops, I didn't remembered I put it in the folder orz, now deleted.
black.png can also be reduced to 480px tall - all SB images are treated as a 640x480 resolution image, so an image that is 480 pixels tall will cover the entire screen top to bottom when positioned at y=0. When you crop the height from it, you'll probably need to tweak the SB a bit to make it fit correctly:. This is what you currently have:

Sprite,Background,Centre,"black.png",-81,275
 F,0,-500,0,0,1
 M,0,0,5426,-81,275

Just adjust the y-co-ord to be centered, like so:

Sprite,Background,Centre,"black.png",-81,240
 F,0,-500,0,0,1
 M,0,0,5426,-81,240

Fixed

The SB could be further optimized (you don't need an 1800px image to cover a 640x480 screen) but I don't think it'd really have any impact to add a black-1.png for the opening fade effect.

white.jpg should also be resized to 640x480 for the reason above - it still fills the screen when positioned at 320x240 Centred k, all fixed, full submitting...

I think I've covered everything @_@

awp wrote:

aaaargh the intro glitch came back

when you were updating the SB code, you left out the Fade line from earlier

F,0,-500,0,0,1
M,0,0,5426,-81,240 Ouch...I got it now

Also the organizational structure in the SB folder is nice, but you've now got a Thumbs.db file in there - this is just Windows being an idiot, but the file isn't needed at all, so you'll have to delete it before re-uploading. Emm, I didn't find the Thumbs.db file

One last little tweak that I think is needed is at the 9 second mark, where the whole cast is shown:

The foreground black layer contains these two lines near the end of the block (lines 73 and 74, according to alvisto difficulty):

M,0,9515,10273,427,240,651,240
S,0,9515,10273,0.9999999,5

and they should be changed to:

sorry for making you do another full resubmit - I'm all too familiar with submitting a 10MB beatmap over a dozen times due to SB fixes. But oh, it's so worth it~ Yeah, I love SB :3

code was only changed in alvisto's difficulty, and it needs to be added in all three

as for Thumbs.db, it's found in the SB folder - you may need to set hidden files to viewable. You can do this by going to the folder and selecting Tools > Folder options in the menu at the top, selecting the View tab in the window that comes up, and under Advanced Settings > Files and Folders > Hidden files and folders, make sure "Show hidden files and folders" is selected. It still not found in my folder o.o It's not a hidden file. I can't find it even ctrl+F to search it. Emm...I creat a new "SB" folder and delete the previous one

Though, the Thumbs.db isn't a hidden file when I download...

anyhow, keep PMing me after fixes until we get this bubbled <3

Friends:
00:19:104 (6) - End this slider on the red tick. it would sound so much better. fixed
00:26:344 (4) - end on blue tick, on "week" yup, it sounds better now
01:12:619 (2) - move this entire slider right one tick. I dont know why, it just sounds better (fix distance snappings etc) fixed
Also why isnt this mapped to the end? It really wont affect difficult if you keep it the same way the rest of the difficulty is. orz, sorry, I'm lazy...and also short one is easier >///<

Buddies:
00:23:590 (1) - Spinner seems a tad unnecessary...
Could also benefit from more whistles and finishes, especially the first half. It sounds kinda plain and boring as it is. Claps are fine.

EVEN AT MY WORST IM BEST WITH YYYYYYYYYOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUU YEA

Much better job! The only other recommendation i can make is to make easy's spinner at the end one long spinner, instead of two. Fixed

Also did i miss something or is there no storyboard/background in alvisto's difficulty? Yup, SB code disappeared lol, now added

and again, hard could use more finish sounds, especially during the choruses. added some notes with finish

Almost there!

It looked better now
