Don't worry, I'll get back into it, gonna have another approach to it, suggested by someone else about how this should primarily be beatmap preservation instead of recreation.
Anyways, an update for this thread might take some time tho, but expect something in at least a week
Topic Starter
No update happened a week after my last post in the end, how sad...
Anyways,
I'm happy to announce that the first pack is now finally done!
It includes 20 beatmaps made between September and October of 2007 which haven't been posted on the beatmap listing
Some of the songs are: What's Up, Heaven, Jumpin Jack Flash and Bad Boy
Maps have only been altered in a few ways: audio file names, timings to fit the new audio files and no BGs
The rest is all original!
I decided that the remakes/fixes of maps I made before aren't gonna be available on the Google Disk anymore, instead, on the discord server.
As for additional updates to the thread, I'll make those soon.
Now, what do you think? Which one would you rate if you were able to back in 2007? I'd personally give a chance to the NicoNicoDouga map, as well as Outlaw and Countdown :p
Thanks For Reading!!

Updated the spreadsheet (well, the way it's presented)
Now I don't have to add maps from the oldest to the newest + maps can be downloaded individually
Also, added 2 more maps, to demonstrate alternate difficulties of maps

Finally, we have the first map to be added here that isn't in the osu standard game mode!
A Taiko difficulty is available for the map La Di Da. It's even got its own background :O
Anyways, in case you know about any map with bonus difficulties that aren't a part of ranked mapsets, please let me know
Meanwhile, I'll be gone for a bit again because I wanna commit factory settings on my laptop

New Update, a lot more GDs have now been added!
Now there's a difficulty for the third osu game mode: Catch The Beat
Other than that, I also found a new type of map, one with an unused storyboard! (an unfinished one but it seems to have had a lot of potential for it)
And if you notice for some maps, there are multiple GD Mappers for one map, so I combined their maps for downloads but wrote them in separate rows on the spreadsheet
Lastly, I wanna give the biggest thanks to zachub03 for his contributions to the project, for helping to search threads and find many bonus difficulties. You're awesome! <3

Haven't found any mania maps yet, but it's mostly because we've been looking at maps up to 2012 so far, once someone takes a look at newer maps, I be someone find/send something from mania as well :p

Update again
More maps added, thanks to other mappers supplying interesting beatmaps for you all to try out
After bothering them about it in messages
Also, added a table for different versions of osu and one for the current helpers for Losu
Thanks everyone, even if it was just one map, I still appreciate it a lot!

New Update, a special one this time
Let's call it: Losu! Competitive
Leaderboards have been added! Sadly, nothing is automated, so, updates for the leaderboard won't be frequent
To test out leaderboards, 10 maps have been selected to be used as test subjects of how leaderboards would function
For other stuff related to the leaderboard, a thread update will be made asap!
Hopefully you'll find participation in this fun and enjoyable! ^^

Update:
Two new packs have been added:
- EiJi Challenge Pack - consisting of 9 mapsets, featuring many EiJi maps, mostly those of a higher star range
- Sleep Powder Variety Pack - consisting of 9 mapsets featuring a variety of different maps created by animask aka Sleep Powder
Other than that, I've removed the leaderboard feature because nobody used it :c
Updates will now be more frequent again, aiming for at least one a week
As always, if you've got any requests for potential maps we can search for, let us now

Apparently, all the links on the spreadsheet are broken, and nobody noticed...
Making the spreadsheet private until it's fixed, and instead, feel free to access all maps I saved on my Google Drive where I've saved maps, makes it much simpler to access these maps

Hello! First of all, I wish you all happy holidays! :3
Secondly, gonna resume the project, because of the winter break giving some time to do that instead of being in school.
And now that spread has been fixed, I can continue adding beatmaps to it, and since last time, there are more than a thousand beatmaps in the queue and I plan to eventually add them all!
Lastly, I wanna thank Mismagius for the shout-out on twitter which also helped motivate me to return to archiving again on Losu, therefore also motivating our small team to return as well. Because of that, and because of his old beatmaps he hasn't uploaded, I'm including his collection of unsubmitted maps. There are a bunch and I recommend checking them out :3
That's all, have fun!

Can I help contributing? I have some beatmaps that show "Not submitted" on my song selection screen, would you be looking for these? I also have a .zip file with a lot of beatmaps that I had before that I didn't want to delete, so rather, I just archived it.
For example, I have this beatmap:
The only thing that I have a few .mp3s that got some of the metadata changed as I had a folder for osu! songs on my iTunes back in the day. The songs still play fine in-game, though. And, speaking of .mp3s... I was always afraid of archival projects like these due to handling copyrighted files. So it's allowed to just share .mp3s here (zipped alongside the beatmap data), what are the guidelines to help on the project?
I'm mentioning this as I once thought about sharing songs I have on Stepmania once, on the Stepmania Reddit. In the case of Stepmania, I never uninstalled Stepmania 3.9. I have the exact same folder installation I had when I first installed that game (in like 2005 or so). So I think I have a lot of songs that got lost due to sites that hosted simfiles shut down.
Maybe I can also include things I created and never went around to finish them. Though I'm still thinking on that last one.

Alright. Would you be okay if I add you directly on Discord and send you the Zipped files via DMs instead? I might just pack every "Not Submitted" map into a .zip, put on Mediafire, and send it to you. Then, you can upload to your Drive if you want, and put to the Spreadsheet.Kurboh wrote:

It may take a while for me to get the "Not Submitted" maps, as I have to unzip my archived stuff (that is full of ranked maps) on top of my currently installed beatmaps, so if I don't send today, perhaps another day I will. I'm a busy guy that is always doing a lot of things in many different websites, so I can't specify any specific dates that this will be complete.
Edit:
Note that I may not include all 170 of them. As mentioned, there's a couple beatmaps I never got around finishing that I was working on, and I haven't decided yet if I'll share on the .zip.
Edit2:
What's the best way to get into the local folder of a beatmap via osu!? I know you can open the Editor, and open the folder directory from there. Are there chances of the beatmap corrupting if I do this? Would I become the "creator" by opening the Editor without doing any changes?

Unless the map has an undefined mapper (for which then don't even know the mapper) or undefined bpm (I remember it caused some trouble with maps metadata resetting), I think the original mapper should stay the sameZeugziumy wrote:

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'.

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 preservedfanzhen0019 wrote:

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 :pfanzhen0019 wrote:

Another update, more beatmaps.
I finally also did the side text to explain some stuff about the spreadsheet.
Lastly, new video, and uhm, it's kinda explicit in its bg, sooo, have fun watching :3

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!

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

Thirdly,this ones INSANE! xd
Lastly, here's a competition play, and I'd like to congratulate Kobold84 for the victory!

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:
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
secondly, for situations like these:
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)abraker wrote:

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
