Excellent. The absence of Bancho integration in the test build was pretty much the only thing that was preventing me from using the test build by default. Looking forward to helping with this :p

Still not really usable for me, the chat and online users are still testbuild-only D:
Fixed now, yay :3

What exactly does the new test build change? I can't find any differences so far besides the "b20130807.5test" on the bottom and that the osu! window frame doesn't fit the color of my usual window color. =P

The test build is always up-to-date with the changelog. There are also some half-baked features in there (replay seeking, emoji) which aren't ready for public yet.

At the moment the test build is 99% in sync with public, but this isn't the case when there hasn't been a public release for 1 week or more. You will be able to view and play with new features as they are added, and watch the game develop on a daily basis.

There are usually 0~5 test build patches a day, for reference.

It's actually the exact same thing.

You should definitely make something either in the client or on the site that's like a report form, so people don't have to create a thread on a public forum for everyone to see. Since, you know, it doesn't necessarily encourage people to report bugs if they have to fill out an entire forum thread if you ask me. At least that's what it's like to me.

Sweet! I'll be using the test build more often then :)
Although I wish there was an option to unify the public build's collections with the test build's collections, but seeing as they're just .db files it shouldn't be difficult to move them back and forth manually :P

EDIT: Also, the watermark seems to be in the way of the hit error meter. Not really that big of a deal though.

I second this, osu! Test build should have a extra option so u can report right from inside the client or maybe a special channel were all people do is post things they found maybe?

And how do you then keep track of them, by searching through logs?.. seriously D:?

Make a simple web form that mails the reports to the technical support team or something like that

Edit: Maybe a mail account for like osureports@ppy.sh and give the osu! team access to it and delete the reports you've looked into?

Possibly that there is a hidden subforum for reports that peppy and the others can view and moderate it.

Every new build cause a new bug concerning OpenGL on my computer.
Time for bugcatching \:D/

There's nothing wrong with having to make a forum thread, it doesn't even have to be very lengthy. The only thing you need to put in your post really is how to reproduce the bug (and screenshots, but those aren't entirely necessary if your repro steps are easy to follow).
And the main reason for the bugs/tech support forum being public is so others can test and confirm that it's a bug.

I'm curious whether I can safely map in the test build. I know that before, the test build would create test build only files. What will happen if I make changes to a beatmap and submit them from the test build?

If there are changes made which would break maps, BSS will be disabled in the test build. As long as you can submit, it should be fine to do so.

Having a forum to share might work, but I think a more immediate means of communication would give better results.
Something like a #testbuild channel on irc, only for testers.

(Unfortunately I am not support, so I can not test ;_; )

I'd like the option to remove the text overlay denoting if a user is using the test build. It does not work well with the score meter:


We currently have 4 locations which show we are using osu!test - the text overlay, the image overlay, the text bar on top of the osu! circle (http://u.nyaa.asia/agy.png) and text in top right of options.

Apart from this, I'm up for using osu!test.

Edit: Fixed as soon as I posted it :3

Cool, also, whoop, found first bug.

Great new here :3
I love osu!test. so "hello new home" :3

Somehow, I can't download the test build, even though I've never downloaded it before. osu!test.exe doesn't show up in my folder...


I remember there was something in the technical support forums about this problem, but I can't find it anymore :(

go to the extras tab at the top
Yoshi_green
oh ok, but I got this file instead:



and I'm unable to extract it. Web help for file extensions doesn't give me anything either, as I figured.
