How does it fetch the data from the game? From the MSN Now Playing calls? Directly from the RAM? :v
From the osu! window title, additional data from the map files, more data from the database files is possible but is not yet implemented in osu!np, only osu!db/osu!mp3.

From what I know, it's not possible to get it from memory because the pointer doesn't seem consistent across multiple machines, and it's not really worth going through that method because it's not consistent between updates either.

Unfortunately with the method I use, it's never going to be 100% accurate but it does have a few fallback methods which it uses in an attempt to be as accurate as possible. If there is a duplicate of the map name and difficulty, there are multiple choices. There (may) soon be a tiny bit of image recognition to determine the correct map when such duplicates are found.

I'm getting a Win32:Evo-gen virus warning in avast when downloading the current version(2.3) Any tip?
It seems you or someone else already scanned it here

From a Google search, there just seems to be a lot of false positives with that 'Evo-gen' like this
I don't know what would trigger that >-< My own Avast is unable to detect anything (Version: 7.0.1474, DB Version: 131109-0)

I've reported it as a false-positive to Avast.

This is due to this:
[peppy] Don't set window title when running osu! fullscreen.
(osu! b20131129.1)

You basically can't get the data in Fullscreen mode anymore, but you can try Borderless window mode.
(Please bear in mind that this might cause different behavior on some machines, performance wise.)

Gah, I completely forgot about this. That change was an attempt to fix Nvidia ShadowPlay, but it broke osu!np. I switched to fullscreen when I discovered that Windowed and Borderless both cause 2-3 frames of latency (which makes things a bit more difficult), so I'm not really inclined to switch back.

Anyways, any plan on switching to the last.fm API that peppy mentioned earlier? It would fix the problem.

Sorry for the absence.

Unfortunately, I'm probably going to discontinue osu!np and my other projects. A lot of other people seem to have been working on their own things similar to the functionality of which osu!np provides, so I don't feel there is any need for me to continue.

The current build of osu!np 2.4 will only be available to close friends on Twitch, because it includes Primbot.

I will make a public version with Primbot removed that will include all current fixes, but development is currently not my priority so I will not be adding new features otherthan the ones of which I've already been working on.

I'm sorry for this news, but there's so much that I want to do, and very little time to do them in. ;-;

Noooo!!! ;___; Y U DO DIS?? Your programs are so awesome and useful!! T^T But at the end of the day, it's your wish, so I just wanted to ask one question. Will we still be able to use osu!np and your other softwares which require internet connection in any way? For example, can we still download beatmaps using osu!np? And thanks a lot for creating such awesome softwares and helping the osu! community. :D

Everything will still function.

I think I phrased it a bit harshly/bluntly - My intention is not to just forget about these projects, I'm not abandoning everything entirely, I may eventually continue working on these projects and I will try to if I can ever find time to, it's just not a priority anymore so I will never update as often as I used to and I'll only implement features which interest me personally.

For now my time is taken up by personal projects, or my stream/daily life stuff. It's difficult to work on projects for the osu community because there's more time involved in trying to make the UI user friendly, efficient and such (I'm so bad at UI design).

Again, sorry. Q^Q

Thanks a lot. phew, That was a relief. And no problem, even the current releases are pretty good, so less frequent(or no) updates won't be a problem(atleast, not for me). And yeah, you should concentrate on the things that you think are more important for you. You've already done a great job by creating such useful softwares. Thanks a lot again! ^_^ All the best! :)

As said earlier in the thread, this is what's preventing it from working full screen:
[peppy] Don't set window title when running osu! fullscreen.
(osu! b20131129.1)
He did this as an attempt to fix Nvidia ShadowPlay, but it broke programs like this in the process, since it uses the window title to get the song title and difficulty.

It is possible to get it working again (the MSN status option displays the same info as the title bar albeit in a different order), but nobody I've spoken to seems to be updating their programs to support it (aside from Piotrekol, but as far as I'm aware, he's the one who came up with the idea to use it).

Is it possible to have this program to mess with ventrilo comment + comment url?

Most of the time I have a few friends spectating me while I practice and unfortunately my comp isn't that great for streaming.

So it would be awesome if I can get the song name displayed on my ventrilo comment and then a link to download the song in my comment url.


If not then its completely fine, would just be very awesome if you can integrate it with ventrilo.

I can't remember if I fixed the issue with osu!np starting off screen.. someone reported it a while ago. >w< I'll put it on my todo list if it's not already on there.

Navigate to: C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Primpri\osu!np.exe_blarghh\2.3.0.0
Open user.config in Notepad.
Search for 'setPosition'.
If the value is something bizarre, change it to 0, 0. Like:
<setting name="setPosition" serializeAs="String">
<value>0, 0</value>
</setting>

On "windowed fullscreen"(borderless) osu! is still setting it's title when playing.
And when in fullscreen it's never doing it- because why?(and it's also done to fix Shadowplay)
And this program seems to depend on osu! title so... that's why it breaks I guess.

You can try this or if creator actually still wants to develop osu!np then I think we can work something out.

This software reads the name of the map on the osu!window (when played windowed) so it only works in windowed (even windowed fullscreen). And to not lag in windowed, you must disable Aero theme. osu!streamCompanion works in fullscreen though, check it out if you want to play fullscreen with map info !

Please don't go off topic in my thread QAQ

I've fixed the spectating and fullscreen issues in the next version, will update by next week (if I don't get lazy T^T).
Fullscreen issue obviously requires msn live display option checked, it additionally enables output on menu/map selection as well (these will be optional outputs with ability to set different formatting).

Otherthan that, not sure if I'll add anything else to next version, just doing this because people keep pestering me o3o

Updated to V2.4 with the following changes~
  • ★ Implemented method to automatically find the osu! directory for default config.
    ☆ Fixed error when checking for map while spectating.
    ★ Fixed full screen issue by implementing alternative method of finding map, this new method is enabled by default and can be configured on the 'Output' tab of the config. (Requires the 'Integrate MSN Live Status Display' option to be enabled in osu!)
    Additionally, this new method supports finding the map playing on menu/beatmap selection which can either be output to a new file or override the idle message of an existing output.
    Note: When clicking the Start button with this new method, the output will only start updating after first beatmap selection. Additionally, previous output will not yet function.
    ☆ Fixed issue that could cause directories to not set correctly.
    ★ Updated the application icon to be less confusingly similar to the osu icon~ (Squares o3o)
    ☆ Small Hotfix: Fixed updating issue that would occur if you renamed osu!np.
There may have been more changes, but I forgot. QAQ There was going to be a lot more, but I just wanted to get an update done to fix a few important things quickly so I ended up removing a lot of what I've done for this version.
I also removed my improvements for POST method output, may get back to it eventually.
There may also be a few things broken with this update, I don't tend to test things. o3o

Yes indeed it may be broken. Sadly when I updated I get a wall of text (which I assume is an error code) and it does not start. :(

I didn't mean that type of 'broken' o3o
It's working for other people I've tested it with.
Try removing the config folder (AppData/Local/Primpri) so that it can start with default settings, might be conflicting with something.

If anyone has issues, I'd prefer if you PM me (on the website, not in-game).
Also for whatever reason, Chrome may warn that the file is malicious, here's the VirusTotal analysis showing that it's clean.

Edit:
Some people have contacted me about issues relating to not knowing about the new output method.
So I'll just make it clear: On the Output tab, the new MSN Live display method is enabled by default, it requires the "Integrate msn live.." option in osu! to be enabled.

Another issue is updating from 2.3, in some cases it may cause an access denied exception, you'll need to download 2.4 manually instead, this issue is fixed in 2.4.

Next version will probably be final version, and it will finish implementing localization (finally)~ >w<
Someone trolled the localization Google spreadsheet, but I have restored it now, please report troll revisions to me.
You can help with localization here. (It's currently a bit outdated/incomplete, may want to wait until I finish adding the English locale)

Expect next version in the coming week or two, been pretty busy with game development lately but I'll get it done whenever I can. \ o 3o/

Rename the file called osu!np that you launch into something like osu!np1. That should fix the issue.

Answer to why This project is not updated can be found @ http://ask.fm/primpri
SPOILER
I heard your osu! account was suspended and the links for osu!np are now gone...
Do you mind shedding some light on what happened or is it a more personal matter that shouldn't be shared? I'm unaware of what happened, I stopped playing osu! on the 14th June because I was busy doing other things. The only times I played during this break were a couple casual sessions of multi with a friend who also livestreams (mari_mari_angel). I returned to playing for a couple hours on 14th July, of which I streamed on my Twitch livestream, you can find the vod of that stream here http://www.twitch.tv/primpri/b/547529439
I went to sleep after streaming then woke up to my account being restricted.

The only thing of which changed from my regular streams of osu! was having AutoHotkey open - of which I have a script that allows me to set window sizes (I use it for setting the size of things like Bluestacks, which is an Android emulator). I assume osu! flags AutoHotkey because it can potentially be used to auto hit circles. Here's the script: http://puu.sh/aszFq/24688af3f3.png

My experience with osu support was pretty terrible.
After my first two E-Mails were ignored, they finally responded to my 3rd stating they are "not at liberty to share any information" regarding my account's closure and to appeal in 6months.
When I pressed on after another one or two ignored E-Mails, they told me to "go find another game to play". I stopped giving a damn about my account at that point because I'm not going to deal with a childish "support" team.

My profile is only visible to me, there's a red banner which states my account is in "restricted mode", which is an apparent "automated process" which "will resolve itself within 24 hours".. it's been a lot more than 24 hours.

I'm not willing to continue to share my projects with the osu community until my account is back to normal (if ever). I don't feel something I've worked hard on should be available to a community that I'm not welcome to be in, I would delete the topics as well if I could, but being restricted prevents me from editing anything.
