I don't understand if on windows it is possible to overlay it on full screen mode. I tried it without full screen and it works perfectly, but due to the full screen mode being off, there is a considerable delay when pressing keys.

Hey, I tried to make the row of keys, and the row of data (such as avg and cur) on 2 different rows, but on the y the only options are 0 or end which makes it into more rows? I can't figure out how to fix this.
EDIT: I figured out I can make the row of keys a higher y pos and the avg, cur and max at 0

Overlaying a full screen application is not actually possible for any application. When you see so called overlays what they are actually doing is injecting custom code into the renderer of the game they are overlaying. An easy work around is to just play osu! in full screen windowed mode, but this of course can sometimes lead to lower performance.

Making something that resembles an overlay, while technically possible, is a very tricky thing to do since you are tampering with the memory of a running game. If there are any bugs it's very easy to crash both applications, in addition you are also directly affecting the performance of the game since it now needs to render an additional overlay.

While I'm not against the idea completely and do have it on my long term todo list. It does take a fair bit of work to implement and if I do finish it I will include a fair warning. Especially games with anti-cheat software often don't like other programs messing with the memory of their game, save for some whitelisted applications.

Well, I guess should have read previous posts there, sorry. If you say that understanding DirectX will be a ass pain then so be it. Maybe will try to make something similar on c++. Just was thinking about all those VN hooks, that were made by a couple of people - works fine. Anyway, using some library shouldn't be that hard, right? So far nice work on the app, will eagerly await your solution, whenever it comes.

It's not so much just about understanding DirectX, it's about writing a DLL injection process and custom DLL with renderer modifications for all relevant versions of DirectX and OpenGL. Luckily there is a fair bit of overlap there. As far as I'm aware, while there are some implementations of specific overlay cases out there, no reliable generic libraries exist. If you know of any written in C/C++/Java then I would be interested.

Right now I am working on an another project so until finished don't expect anything. Anyhow, tested a couple of variants, EasyHook seems to work reliably enough: I could inject foreign DLLs in running osu! like fps monitor and process tracker. But as far as I am not sufficiently knowledgeable here it would take a bunch of time to understand the whole process. From here on now, まかせる。

Not sure where you got a zip file, for mac you need the ' Runnable Java Archive' download link which gives you a .jar file. After that you just need to run it with Java, which you'll need to install if you don't already have it. I would assume that you can just double click the .jar file if you have Java installed, but I don't own a mac so I'm not entirely sure.

Keys per second

Update note: You can now also track mouse buttons

So I wanted to know how many keys / second I pressed in osu! And I had already seen programs like this on streams.
I could however not find a program that worked on my computer so I decided to write one myself.

The program when active looks like this:

Menu

Accessible by right clicking on the program.

For each configured key it shows how many times it is pressed. By default it also shows the maximum, average and current number of keys pressed per second.
When enabled it can also show a graph of the number of keys pressed per second over time. The horizontal line in the graph represents the average number of keys pressed per second.

Everything shown in the picture above can be toggled on or off and all the panels can be arranged in a lot of different ways.

Show config

Show rendering modes

Lastly, there are also some commands that can be sent to the program:
Ctrl + P: Causes the program to reset the average and maximum value.
Ctrl + U: Terminates the program
Ctrl + I: Causes the program to reset the key press statistics.
Ctrl + Y: Shows / hides the GUI.
Ctrl + T: Pauses / resumes the counter.
Ctrl + R: Reloads the configuration file.

You can also move the program using the arrow keys this makes pixel perfect positioning possible .
Well I hope some of you find this program useful and/or will use it for your streams (I would love to see that happen ).
And if you find any bugs feel free to report them.

Notes

- To clarify, you can add any key, and any number of keys to the program. So it can be used for any game mode.
- The overlay option doesn't work on a Mac nor does it work when the fullscreen option in osu! is enabled.
- When changing the key order, the keys are ordered from lowest value to highest value (negative values & skipping indices is allowed).
- To change a GUI colour in the colours menu, click on the current colour.
- An opacity of 100% means completely opaque and an opacity of 0% means completely transparent.
- The snap to screen edge function works on multi-monitor setups.
- You can move the window with the arrow keys at 3 different speeds 1, 2 & 3 pixels at a time (2=Ctrl, 3=Shift).
- You can also track mouse buttons with this program.
- The order for positions is from the top left to the bottom right.
- You can pass the path to the config file to load via the commandline or a shortcut so you can skip the configuration step.
- For some people running the program in Windows 98 / ME compatibility mode makes it so it can overlay full screen osu! so if you're lucky this might work.

Thank you , do you mean that when a key is pressed I should change the text color to black? If so I'll implement that as soon as I have some time, since that seems like a useful feature .

Edit
Implemented! The color of the text now turns black when the key is pressed, this way the text on a key is always clearly readable . And thanks again for your feedback .
