A map from 2008 made by the mapper awp that unfortunately is corrupted. The best solution being by logging in and then updating it...
So there's the simpler way of downloading it!

I just realized that the map here is ranked. I'm looking for maps that are unranked as ranked maps usually have an easy download, if not from this site, then through alternate methods like map packsMrMcMikey22 wrote:

I fixed the spread finally, so it's gonna go public again, and now, all the maps inside of the drive folder are now listed on the spread.Kurboh wrote:

Making the spreadsheet private until it's fixed, and instead, feel free to access all maps I saved on my Google Drive where I've saved maps, makes it much simpler to access these maps

And now that spread has been fixed, I can continue adding beatmaps to it, and since last time, there are more than a thousand beatmaps in the queue and I plan to eventually add them all!
Lastly, I wanna thank Mismagius for the shout-out on twitter which also helped motivate me to return to archiving again on Losu, therefore also motivating our small team to return as well. Because of that, and because of his old beatmaps he hasn't uploaded, I'm including his collection of unsubmitted maps. There are a bunch and I recommend checking them out :3
That's all, have fun!

Up to you. If you ever change your mind, I will remove the submission from the spreadsheet if you want me to :pZeugziumy wrote:

Alright. Would you be okay if I add you directly on Discord and send you the Zipped files via DMs instead? I might just pack every "Not Submitted" map into a .zip, put on Mediafire, and send it to you. Then, you can upload to your Drive if you want, and put to the Spreadsheet.Kurboh wrote:

You could just add me on discord or you could also join the server if you'd like to. No need ask before you add me, just add me :pZeugziumy wrote:

It may take a while for me to get the "Not Submitted" maps, as I have to unzip my archived stuff (that is full of ranked maps) on top of my currently installed beatmaps, so if I don't send today, perhaps another day I will. I'm a busy guy that is always doing a lot of things in many different websites, so I can't specify any specific dates that this will be complete.
Like I said, no worries haha ^^Zeugziumy wrote:
Edit:
Note that I may not include all 170 of them. As mentioned, there's a couple beatmaps I never got around finishing that I was working on, and I haven't decided yet if I'll share on the .zip.
Unless the map has an undefined mapper (for which then don't even know the mapper) or undefined bpm (I remember it caused some trouble with maps metadata resetting), I think the original mapper should stay the sameZeugziumy wrote:
Edit2:
What's the best way to get into the local folder of a beatmap via osu!? I know you can open the Editor, and open the folder directory from there. Are there chances of the beatmap corrupting if I do this? Would I become the "creator" by opening the Editor without doing any changes?
Definitely should, will probably add another column for gamemodes and for mania in the difficulty I'll specify if it's 4K, 7K, etc.abraker wrote:
add a gamemode column?
For converts, if you know where you get them from, I often see coverts be a part of a different project where multiple are done or something like that, so I would highly appreciate if you find where you got the converts from.abraker wrote:
and if there are missing 4k mania maps between 2015 - 2019 I might have them
(alot of these are convert packs from other games, but still non insignificant amount are non converts)

No worries. I've gotten a couple of your maps in my map list waiting to get added to the spread, and my slow pace will lead to it appearing in a couple of months or more. So your history will be preservedfanzhen0019 wrote:

i could provide a lot after i can use my old pc. the hard drive there stores the maps i got from early 2013. (i had another older hdd but it's broken. and i couldn't find it anywhere. it stored my songs folder from 2010)
Yup, I understand. Originally I chose the name alt mapper/map because not all of the maps that are added (in terms of unsubmitted maps in a submitted mapset) are from a guest mapper. Originally I called them Bonus Maps from a name I found for one in a description of a ranked mapset (can't remember which one) but I changed it. Anyways, I'll definitely change Alt Mapper to Guest Mapper because this one makes way more sense. As for Alt Maps, I'll see what others in the Losu Team say :pfanzhen0019 wrote:
some advices: column 'alt mapper' and words on column 'state' could be changed as:
alt mapper -> guest mapper
alt map -> guest diff
as a mapper, we usually use these words to refer a difficulty in a hosted mapset but not being mapped by the host. it's also an official name since in the mapper section of each's user page, there's a section called 'Guest Participation Beatmaps'.

i'm gonna introduce a page inside the spreadsheet for missing beatmaps, so if anyone is searching for a specific map, notify us about it here or dm me to include it in the spreadsheet (potentially gonna allow searches for other types of osu media, but more on that later)abraker wrote:
