yea i would also like to save a Note so i can copy and paste this note in my other beatmaps, cause i use alot of notes in my other beatmaps...

No but i agree with Larto, saving sliders would be nice since there are alot of people using slider arts

Too late.

Too late.

I like this idea. Something like preset sliders. It'd basically be a copy-paste of the line from the .osu file so it should be pretty simple to implement. Naming sliders, especially with previews, would be awesome.

The only issue I can see is slider velocity. This can be fixed for some patterns by adding a linear node or something but it'd be nice to scale the slider pattern to compensate for the change in slider velocity.
Gabi
yea the slider couldn't be the same if the bpm is different either, it would get shorter/longer + the velocity

After i heard this idea i had crazy machines in my mind.
if crazy machines would be the osu editor,
then the red marked bar could be the slider bar.
My idea is to open it up like the chat and have a slider preview.

^ Looks like TIM. :)

+1 support. A kind of a "slider palette" collapsible menu seems the way to go.

Of course, the sliders would look kind of lame if dropped into a map with different slider speeds. (<- unless)

... Why not just use a copy-paste method?

Slider templates that snap to the BPM used, with a 'favourites' section. I like.

But when I think about it a little bit, it might be a nice feature to have, because the palette sliders would probably be less ugly than the sliders that a lot of mappers make. So I don't know. Maybe add a submenu to the slider curve type selection, allowing for premade types like "half-circle" and "wave," which could then be stretched or whatever but would remain pretty and well-proportioned.
Paired with scaling in the editor I think this would work great.

Sure, many maps need custom sliders, but sometimes it's nice to have a perfect circle or an S-shaped one which is symmetrical. I've had to make these myself and it's kinda annoying getting it perfect, but I would love to share my effort with others.

Good mappers will make their own sliders anyway, then add them to the palette.

Bad mappers will ... well, you said it. ;)

It's time-saving, and I'm perfectionist and when I want certain sliders to look the same, I don't like it when they even look slightly different. I also spend tons of time making them symmetrical & stuff, and this is time I'd like to reclaim.

But overall I'm pretty "meh" on this idea.

This is a great idea!!! Have some kind of Slider presets list with a variety of shapes. Honestly its not because I am lazy, but more because I just don't seem to have the creativity with sliders as I do with Hit sounds and hit circles. And as some said, symmetry becomes less tedious. And you can always just design your own if you hate the presets. No harm done to anyone.

Mm, why not extend this to use hit circle patterns, too?

And maybe storyboards as YoshiKart hinted.

Think about it. If we start presetting everything in the game, won't everybodies maps look the same after a while? Maybe not the hardcore mappers since they've got great mapping skills. But the new mappers might all be using the same presets resulting in BAT's being bored of modding the same old patterns, making their 'job' that much more tedious.....thus giving them another reason to Mod well known mappers before new comers.
Modding random anime openings is boring enough already... I don't see why the same sliders would be a problem. :|
What I'm saying is that newcomers maps already look the same.

As for the feature, +1

But seriously, if you think THIS feature is not a good idea, we probably shouldn't have copy + paste either. Since copypasta is JUST like this. It's GOOD if you know how to use it. Bad mappers will abuse the Save Slider function just like they abuse the copypaste function. If you're creative, the Save Slider function will help you to map even better, if you're NOT creative, you'll use the Save Slider function to make your maps, that probably are already bad due to lack of creativity, just worse, until you learn how to be creative.

Also, bump.

Why not use a copy-paste method where the notes actually represent [notepad] text data. Basically what I mean is that it copies as text. You can plop it somewhere and it'll end up as it is coded in the .osu file. Then you can take that code later, and paste into the window and it'll be there. This would work normally for regular copying and pasting within the window and it would work for literally anything.

Fact : I am bad at making perfect sliders

I barely try to make all of them perfect because it is just too hard...
Saving Sliders = Genius
Or a guide on how to make nicer sliders would be nice...

Why the hell hasn't this been bumped in ages? Every time I map I wish I had this so I didn't have to keep making the same sliders over and over and argh I'm a perfectionist asdlkfjskldf

Make it user only and I say go for it.

Any databases for all mappers I would immediately frown upon.

Of course, if you make it user only but they have a method of sharing the sliders that also would cause problems.
Derekku
Sliders can easily be copied from the .osu file already, so :X

Well you have to find the ms of the beat

Open a notepad and paste it in.

Label it in a way you can distinguish it from the thousand other numbers you're putting in one notepad just to save sliders.

When pasting it back in you have to put a semi low time to assure you aren't putting it in a timeslot that doesn't exist for the song.

Then cut/paste to move it to your desired location on the timeline.
anonymous_old
I wasn't looking at an online database for this. Offline would be much more betterer.
Derekku
Yeah, I'd just like a local thing too.

Genius idea! I would love this as an .os2 feature.
