kodo's MODDING QUEUE


OPEN - Waiting for your requests
SEMI-OPEN - You can make a request but I am busy, so it might take longer to mod your map
CLOSED - Don't make a request, I won't mod it right now
Rules

  1. Finished maps only (it can be single diff, but finished)
  2. Star Rating not higher than 7.00
  3. No meme songs
  4. Song length not more than 5 min
  5. Song types I will mod (if your song type is not here, you can still try but chances are lower):
    Preferable Song Types
    1. Japanese: rock, pop, metal
    2. Female vocals
  6. Hitsounded is cool, I will mod them, but if you are not going for rank I don't care if you don't have them
  7. If you are beginner, your map should be at least timed well. If you are not sure about your timing there is timing thread for this. Some minor offset issues are okay. I also will probably tell you if your timing is wrong, but don't expect me to time your map (unless I will have mood for that)
  8. I can't properly mod tech maps. Don't request them.
  9. In cases when I think you lack some basic knowledge, therefore your map is hard to mod since the only way to fix it - is remapping, I will provide general feedback.
  10. Request MUST follow form below

Request Form
  1. Artist - Song name
  2. Genre and/or language
  3. Map URL \\ Song length (or map drain)
  4. Difficulty you want me to mod (skip this, if you want entire spread or have only 1 diff)
*You can write anything additional, if you want to*

Example of Request:
  1. Shigure Ui - Ui Mugibatake de Tsukamaete
  2. j-pop
  3. beatmapsets/2265446#osu/4823318 \\ 3:41

For Beginners

From my perspective beginners are people who are not familiar with at least one or more topics:
  1. Proper Rhythm Choice
  2. Sections Intensity
  3. Flow
  4. Spacing Emphasize
  5. Contrast
  6. Basic Patterning
So, please if you are beginner:

First of all, before making a request I would like you to watch this entire playlist if you haven't watched it yet: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLp7-THR1EUHERrIOV4dGClCGGoLIrQtOx

Second, don't expect your map to be ranked. Even 100+ mods won't make your map good enough if it has bad initial design. If you want to rank your maps, learn how to map first, so you can have solid fundamentals of your map and people will polish it with mods and not remake it as whole.

Third, when I give general feedback you don't need to make any changes to the map. I am just showing some ideas from your own map and how it can be improved or should be done just so you learn from it and make your next map better, not this one.

Lastly, there is "simple" way of getting better at mapping: Create a Map -> Ask for a feedback. Repeat previous step until you finally know how to map. Easy to say - hard to do, but it is how it works. If you create 100 maps and never asked for a feedback your learning process will be extremely slow. Be smart, learn from others and don't be afraid of constructive criticism. If you follow this steps, who knows, maybe you will be the next innovative genius in mapping world

Final suggestion. Never delete your maps. Let them be in graveyard and at some point in future you will look back on what you've created and see your progress over time. It's natural to not like your old maps, but that's a good sign you are improving!

There is only one diff you can map (according to your rules) so insane it is

Short answer on question "Why do you start mapping?"

first I miss some "good" beatmaps on some songs i like. but now i just want to improve and get a map ranked and make mu bucketlist more complete.

Then I fell in love with creating beatmaps and hoping one day, I could get a top player to fc my map or something like that. Now I just want everyone to play my maps and leave feedback so I can get better. <3

Mapping is so much fun <3

Starting from today I'll respond each request with Accepted / Declined. If declined you will know the reason for it. There will be also a limit for requests. It will be 3-5 slots, amount of which depends on previous requests and how much free time do I have. So if there's no more place for request you will see CLOSED tag in the thread name.

I really appreciate your music preferences and this song is very funny overall. But it's really tough to mod something like this. I mean, you can't learn mapping with that kind of songs, since osu! is rhythm game. I understand that everyone has their own tastes in music, but there are some songs that just don't fit in for the game. So, this song even if mapped properly will be considered as "meme map" in most cases by the community.

I see that's your first forum post. So, I kinda feel bad for declining your request. There are some overall suggestions for your map: some sliders ends on strong sounds (they should start there), you trying to follow both vocals and intsruments, but you should focus on one thing (in your case it's vocals, since it's folk music). That's all what I can say.

Timing problems. Wrong offset. It should be 1410. Normaly changing offset won't be hard, but in your case, because of this offset, you started to place some notes on blue ticks when there are no sounds. So you need to change your offset and place objects properly on the timeline.

5.3 yes -- yeah, albeit less concretely than 5.1
5.4 no -- not at all
5.5 yes -- but limited to a low variety of high 4 stars
5.6 yes
5.7 no -- I think that makes 5.6 void

6. Because I feel an urge to create akin to how a child (I'm not very far from a child) wishes to gain attention and affection. Although, perhaps the analogy breaks down in the area of gaining, I gain nothing more than an ego and pride.
idfk I like make shit, I drew a dragon for my art portfolio page while everyone else took a week to hand it up, maybe I make stuff 'cause I wanna make something I like (tone took a real 180, I'mma stop at this).

Oh this is also my first map so expect BS.

Short answer on question "Why do you start mapping?"

While playing osu, I tend to search for the songs I like. Whenever I see no results or mostly unranked, I told myself "Why not map my favorite songs and try to get them ranked?" I started from then on

Looks solid overall ... until kiai... But it seems you don't know anything about extended sliders, since you are not using them at all, but there are a lot of places where you could use them in this map. Some small spacing issues also, and minor problems with rhythm choice in some places, I'll show it

I went through hard training in winter mountains fighting bears and wolves barehanded, just to become better at mapping and modding.
