There should be some sort of button/icon/tab/anything to show that the spoiler settings are there and to make it easier to get to them. It happens often to where the settings will kind of awkwardly struggle to be shown and wont come out unless you're within 1 pixel of the edge. Doing this on the fly is an issue sometimes for those maps with fast beginnings and it forces you to pause or restart the map. This is a big pain in multiplayer where it can't be paused. Plus I don't think new players would ever think to hover over to the left to show a panel that shows no indication that it's even there. I will also say that there are some maps where it will not show the spoiler settings at all unless you pause the game, I'm not sure if it's a bug or if it's how the maps are set up.

To make what I said simple so no one misunderstands:

A tab-like button for spoiler settings to allow easier access during gameplay

This isn't to be confused with requests that state having the spoiler settings available before you start the map [that would be nice though]. I'm certain there are already threads for that, so I'm not going to bother asking. This is just a request for one button to be added.

I dont know, peppy discourages the use of fun spoiler settings afaik, so im guessing that's why it's somewhat hidden.

oh I forgot about fading it out if the scoreboard is there and fade it back in when paused

In my opinion, It's not really necessary, if you want to change the fun spoiler settings easily, just before the song is about to start press Esc and hover your cursor to the left area and it'll pop up really easily. If you have dimmed the background in the beginning and want to change it a little bit brighter, when there is a small pause break, press esc and do the same thing.

tab hides the scoreboard in multiplayer. You wont be able to use it for that. However I agree, it is pretty difficult to set fun spoilers in multiplayer.

Wait, an ingame button? I disagree. It's supposed to be a hidden option. Plus it would get in the way of the scoreboard. This idea has nothing going for it. ._.

how about it fade in and out when you're not using it.
the current behaviour, but have this tab.

The tab button could be small and above the leaderboard, and it could fade during gameplay. I should've said more to it. There's enough room in between the spectator list and the scoreboard to put it there.



it doesn't really have to be big.

Yes that's fine and all, but it doesn't work in multiplayer since you cannot stop time and pause the game for 8 people at the same time

I like that a lot. Good job

I'm pretty sure this is now invalid. Is there really a need to have a button press to open up the settings anymore?

I don't think so, it's so much easier now when you can bring it up from below.

In fact, it's probably more of a hassle NOT to find and open now! Marking this resolved.
