me and Natteke had done a similar preservation attempt in the past as well actually, based on what we had on our hard drives respectively. feel free to take what we were able to gather back then for your project :

there are some more maps in addition to the above on Natteke's collection iirc, but the link to it no longer works for some reason... :(

always appreciate stuff like archiving things. this is like building the next gen treasures
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)

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'.

Ohh, so that's what someone meant when they said about Lost Maps Projects existing before. I'll definitely add these (eventually)

I asked Natteke before, thankfully, the maps are now saved on his OneDrive which works and I got a bunch of stuff from there :)

Anyways, thanks for your contribution!

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 preserved :)

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 :p

Lastly, new video, and uhm, it's kinda explicit in its bg, sooo, have fun watching :3

This project is one year old now!

I promise I'll return to this, just wanted to enjoy the game again and play it more instead of just archiving

Hello, it's the owner of the Losu! Project, Kurboh, talking to you all for the last time in this thread.

I'm sad to say that, due to the amount of school work I currently have, a lack of free time and motivation to the project and the low amount of support had made me decide on leaving this project.

Looks like archive projects never really reach their goals they set for themselves haha, but oh well.

I decided for my final video to make my own map with slider art as a little thank you to those who supported me ^^


It was fun working on this and I'll miss you all! Thank you for you all checking this project and for those who ran the project with me. Good luck without me, I'm sure you all will do well! Goodbyeee

Alright, it's been a week and a day since april fools, let's get back on track!

Spreadsheet update is the biggest one yet, with around 150 maps getting added
This now means the spreadsheet has over 800 beatmaps listed (over 750 playable)!

Also, tried to update the design of the spreadsheet to better seperate mapsets from one another, but it will be temporary until I find a better solution

Here's a video as well for this week!

As you can tell, most replay have been of the standard gamemode, some of catch, so if any good taiko or mania players are interest, you can submit replay to appear on this channel!

Will see you soon again!

Update:
The Spreadsheet now has 1000 maps listed inside of it!
Now that's the biggest map increase the project ever had (around 200 new maps added!)

This ones dedicated for all the mania players as most of the maps added were for that gamemode
Don't worry taiko and catch players, you'll get more stuff soon ;p

I'm here to also say that from now on, I recommend downloading the spreadsheet for the project as it I've notice how Google Drive removes all the colouring I did for difficulties and map statuses

Also, due to the map amount, I've decided to devide the spreadsheet into multiple lists, sorting maps by their status

Lastly, let's congratulate vYper2011 or winning another Losu Competition held last week!


Thanks for reading!

Hello! Taking a break from this project.

Though I will continue posting youtube replays of maps found through this project!

Firstly, this one's one of the first I found last year:


Secondly, found it recently, unfortunately, it's not a complete map


Thirdly, this ones INSANE! xd


Lastly, here's a competition play, and I'd like to congratulate Kobold84 for the victory!


That's all for now!

I think i downloaded most of maps through this: https://www.reddit.com/r/osugame/comments/rsyqs7/osu_beatmap_pack_mega_collection/

Ahhh, that can be really annoying, yea, osu! sometimes doesn't recognise some maps when some objects are changed, instead of showing that the map needs to update, instead it shows the maps as unsubmitted.

But downloading those maps individually again from the beatmap page of the map should fix those issues

Some maps even has a different name, and i don't think i edited any of these maps, how could any of this happen???

Well, mappers often change the names of their difficulties too and other stuff about maps

It's weird however that they were included in a beatmap pack with only ranked maps while they weren't fully ranked then, hmmm...

GUYS!

Can we also try to ARCHIVE all the scores that were posted on the osu subreddit?

Just right before everything gets down..???

I think we HAVE to do this just in case!

It's actually necessary!

I think..

exams are nearly done, and the project may finally continue again!

this ones gonna be lengthy...

i'm gonna be talking about future ideas for the project i wanna do, opening up possibilities to help more with the project and, of course, some replays :p

updates!
firstly, spreadsheet got updated again, and i'll finally stop making updates on the spreadsheet offline, so from now on, no more posts about those updates because they're kinda silly xp

secondly, for situations like these:

abraker wrote:

polygon [advanced] by fanzhen0019 is driving me crazy. I already asked several people who might have had it and turned up with nothing.
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)

thirdly (this one is a suggestion made by hubbard), the amount of maps provided by a player will now finally be accounted for, replacing the silly list i had before of people who sent maps without any way of knowing how big of a contribution they made

lastly, i wanna hear some opinions about potentially archiving other types of media in osu that may be lost, stuff like skins have been something i wanted to try to archive since the start of the project, but i don't think i'm familiar enough with that area in osu, so i'd need greater help from someone

if you're interested, read the next section of this post

help!
over the entire lifespan of this project, i've been the only one editing the spreadsheet and running the discord server and youtube channel, so i wanted to open up the possibility of having helpers who could maybe do some work too!

if you're interested, contact me on discord, there aren't any requirements or qualifications for you to have to help out, i started this project as a total newbie to the game, just out of my fascination for older maps, and now the project has grown much bigger than i think anyone had anticipated

so yea, let's create a losu!team

replays!
since the last post, there have been two competitions, here's how they went:


competition 5 winner was me lol


while on competition 6, the winner was vYper2011, congrats to him! this makes him the winner 3/6 times!

as for other replays during this time:


here's a classic miku song, mapped by animask


here's the opening to one of my favourite anime, mapped by... animasl again, huh


lastly, here's an emotional song, and a liveplay as well, mapped by a(nimask)l2e10

that's all for now, cya on the next post!

edit: next competition is gonna be Maid of Fire (a diff harder than lesjuh's Oni), so if you're a top player, I wanna see this map torn to pieces >:p

I have a similar forum for lost beatmaps, but mostly for those "shitmaps". Nice to see a ton of lost beatmaps properly archived. As a lost media enthusiast, I salute you and your dedication to preserving the history of the game's user created content.

the download for all maps on spreadsheet is on the first page, but here's a download for all unsorted stuff that was given to me, and since ive not done anything in 8 months, here's the drive for maps i didn't have time to add yet: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1kj2JqXqTc6Xij6MUs-qPa6i8p1M9ovVY

there's still more guest difficulty type maps and maps i've not gotten around to adding yet, but i think for now that's enough
