Difficulty Strains and how to use this option
The following tool helps to analize the actual difficulty of the beatmap as it can give you an idea of what is actually happening within a certain difficulty.This tool is rather simple and easy to use. Let me explain you how:
- Open Difficulty Strains tab in the program and pick a difficulty.
- Analyze the outcome for possible difficulty spikes.
Note: a certain degree of unstability is fine and allowed. Also, it might be caused by the nature of the song with its own ups and downs.What is probably fineA nicely done and balanced difficulty, no sudden spikes and the difficulty level is rather balanced.What is most probably not okayA sudden spike in the middle of a map which pushes the difficulty level way too high. - Testplay the possible spikes and comare them with the context of the difficulty. If the spike itself is too high or lacks reasoning in the music - point it out in the mod or consider fixing it.
Please, test all the potentioal issues detected here before pointing them out in your mods
