Public testing of new... public build

Over the last couple of years, osu! development has been slightly slowed by the fact that the code base was split into two separate branches. One contained awesomeness like osz2 and per-hitobject samples, while the main public branch had to co-exist until the time was right to bring the changes across. I hoped to be able to do this earlier, but due to the complexity of all the elements involved – which has only increased over time – it has been put to the side in favour of getting more high-demand features and bug-fixes out there.

The time to fix this long-lasting problem is now. The next public build not only contains a new play mode (osu!mania), but also has osz2 support for beatmap submissions, and general support all-round. While osz2 files aren't yet being used for downloads and distribution, this is the first step in that direction.

Due to the number of changes in this new release – some which *I* don't even know are there – I am opting to release a semi-public release for those interested in helping test things out.

If you are going to participate in this testing, please read this post completely before jumping on board! I can't stress this enough.

Before running:
  1. You are going to be switching to the test build of osu!. You can do this from the osu! updater by selecting "Use Test Build". You do not need to be a supporter to use this build for the imminent future.
  2. It will maintain its own beatmap and score database, which means you should not lose any data. Even so, I cannot guarantee anything. Be prepared to have things go wrong!
  3. Ranking is disabled. Bancho is enabled. This may change.
  4. Report ALL ISSUES in this thread.
  5. I am not interested in osu!mania issues for now.
  6. Don't discuss this build anywhere else but this thread (that includes in-game chat).
Things I need you to test:
  1. Submit existing maps. Submit new maps. Make sure submission works flawlessly. Report anything that seems weird.
  2. First submissions of existing maps will do a full upload. Subsequent submissions should be super-fast.
  3. Make sure your beatmap database doesn't corrupt on startup. If it does, send me a copy.
  4. Make sure your local scores are still visible.
  5. Make sure osu! doesn't full process your songs at startup, or when adding new osz files etc.
Please don't just post failures. Tell me if you succeeded too! Did your map update work? Do you like how fast it updates now?!

If at any point you want to reset the new databases to test migration from old-public again, delete osu!test.db and osu!test_scores.db

WARNING: EVERYTHING MAY EXPLDODE.

To test, open the osu! updater and switch to test build.

Which "supporter features"? Either way, bancho connection is not important to test what I want you to test.

I'm going to have this one post, and edit it as I find more bugs.

*Benchmark appears halfway off the screen. Note I have 3 screens, with osu! on the center one. Can't screenshot, as puush doesn't pick up the benchmark render.
*osu!mania defaults option in options menu doesn't hold preference (technically not osu!mania problem IMHO)

Local scores are just fine, and my beatmap database doesn't seem to have corrupted no matter how many times I start this thing up'

osu! does not do a full beatmap processing every time I start it up, but it often does a quick check (this is probably intended)

Okay, so it's just the error message, not actual supporter features. Continue testing without a bancho connection.

Benchmark shouldn't be there, I will remove, thanks.

Bug: a map that i submitted on test build which is http://ha.ppy.sh/s/302 has beatmap id 302, possibly had comments from public server beatmap in id 302..
(don't care the osu!mania, because i'm just random test, really)

Only thing I've noticed so far is that my mouse wheel scroll often gets messed up...just now I finished watching an Auto replay and my mouse wheel stopped working all together inside of osu

This is irrelevant. Test using public maps only.

Please confirm this doesn't also happen on public. I don't believe there have been any changes to mouse scrolling. If it is only happening on this build, try and find specific cases which work/don't work (volume adjustments vs editor for instance).

I can't put my finger on it... It works fine in the normal build. It just happens randomly sometimes, then I switch some menu's and it will randomly work again.

Example: Booted testbuild --> went to watch Tentacle! play Freedom Dive in Mania --> Still worked, so went back to the main-menu and checked the options --> went back to osu! mania and it stopped working --> screen back, went to taiko, where it didn't work either --> went back to normal osu (so out of the 'special' menu) and it worked again --> then back to Mania and it still worked

Don't have time to actually really look for the cause but makes no sense so far... I have a Microsoft Habu and never have any problems in the normal osu! (I could still scroll outside of the test build while the problem was there.

Ranking is now allowed, but all ranks are shown as #0. I just got rank #166 on http://osu.ppy.sh/b/171739
Was this supposed to be allowed yet? (The original post said no ranks yet)

If possible can you find the specific osz2 file causing issues and PM me a copy? Maybe try adding them back one-by-one (might need to trigger a full refresh with F5 at song select)

- I have no maps to upload
- Same as above
- Beatmap database doesn't corrupt
- Local scores still visible
- No full processing of songs on startup
- No full processing of songs after importing downloaded beatmap (osz)

Also while osu!shine is temporary, is there any chance of that exe name being used at all in the future?

Edit: Started up osu!shine again and it full processed songs. Mouse-wheel seems to work fine to scroll song list also.

[Timing line issue]
when I opened osu!shine Editor. The timing line looks have randomness start problem. but the second try it's fine.
for example
Levaslater - NNRT (Hyper)

second try it's fine.


Another example: Lia & riya - Chiisana Tenohira Duo (Hard)

second try it's fine too.

New map submitted, and update went okay, but as giuly said, beatmap file size is 0 kb. t/100233

First submissions of existing maps will do a full upload. Subsequent submissions should be super-fast.

When tried to update beatmap which was submitted before that build. Beatmap difficulties shows "Update to the latest version". I tried it once again. Button was "Update Beatmap" but it was full upload again and same bug after upload. Beatmap most likely didn't update.

Make sure your beatmap database doesn't corrupt on startup. If it does, send me a copy.
Message didn't show at startup, so no.

Make sure your local scores are still visible.
My local scores from normal osu! aren't visible, but local scores are saving on osu!shine after playing beatmap.

Make sure osu! doesn't full process your songs at startup, or when adding new osz files etc.
osu! did full process at startup after deleting osz2 files + osz2 which caused crash but didn't perform full process after adding single osz.

Provide actual details (which map, link, etc.)

Is there an osu!shine_scores.bak then? Is it quite large (>1kb)? If so, send me this. If not, send me scores.db

  1. The game froze at the first startup (http://puu.sh/1b2SN) while playing music. It wasn't using any cpu at all at that moment.
    It worked fine after I restarted it.
    I reproduced it by starting the normal public build, closing it, and starting shine again.
  2. When I open any map for the first time in the editor, the timeline is at the middle of the song, and jumps to the beginning when I click the play button.

It's trying to display an error message. Can you narrow it down to a certain portion or single map?

The error message I get when the game does start is about not being able to login to bancho ("copy is too old").
It doesn't seem to be related to a map, it happens all the time after a normal public build start/stop.

When you say freeze, do you mean it stops drawing updates? No mouse cursor inside osu!? If you click the window a few times over 5 seconds does it turn grey and (Not Responding) in the titlebar?
