19:36 mrdumpling64: your easy should have less stars than your normal difficulty
19:37 mrdumpling64: 00:21:664 (6) - get a new combo
19:38 hersa37: Done
19:38 hersa37: anything else?
19:38 mrdumpling64: 00:28:027 (13) - 00:49:618 (7) - replace with one short slider instead of two hitnotes
19:38 mrdumpling64: this is for "normal" difficulty btw
19:39 hersa37: haven't I sent you a new one?
19:39 mrdumpling64: the one this morning?
19:39 hersa37: yeah
19:40 mrdumpling64: ok dw
19:40 mrdumpling64: all good
19:40 hersa37: How about the hard one?
19:41 mrdumpling64: i reckon 14 for a combo is a bit long
19:41 mrdumpling64: wait let me ask
19:42 hersa37: alright, I'll shorten it
19:42 mrdumpling64: yea
19:43 mrdumpling64: maybe at this point: 00:25:300 (9) -
19:43 mrdumpling64: 00:24:745 - or this point
19:44 mrdumpling64: actually
19:44 hersa37: how bout at 00:23:937
19:44 mrdumpling64: don't shorten it if you don't want to
19:44 mrdumpling64: you can have a larger combo as long as it fits the rhythm
19:44 mrdumpling64: more like 00:25:300 (9) -
19:44 mrdumpling64: actually disregard that
19:45 mrdumpling64: 00:23:937 (7) - is fine for new combo if you want, or just leave it as it is
19:45 hersa37: done
19:46 mrdumpling64: 00:37:118 (4) - is kind of unnecessary IMO
19:46 hersa37: how about rhythm wise?
19:47 mrdumpling64: leave it as is if you want
19:47 mrdumpling64: just I don't really think it fits well
19:47 mrdumpling64: you might get overmapping complaints
19:48 hersa37: It's my first attempt, so I'm expecting lots of complaints
19:48 hersa37: what's overmapping anyway?
19:49 mrdumpling64: overmapping is where you put notes just for the thrill of publishing a map with high difficulty
19:49 mrdumpling64: like, notes which don't really fit any rhythm or instrument whatsoever
19:49 mrdumpling64: just write "this is my first map" in description
19:50 mrdumpling64: you'd get some constructive criticism but less troll comments
19:50 hersa37: is it alright though if I were to put this up on the forums before it's even finished?
19:50 mrdumpling64: 00:53:027 (5) - suggest new combo
19:50 mrdumpling64: yes that's what you are meant to do
19:51 mrdumpling64: when you are finished, click File -> Upload Beatmap
19:51 mrdumpling64: and then it makes a new forum thread from which people can mod your map (which I'm doing here instead), post suggestions and yea
19:52 hersa37: Alright, I'll go do that
19:52 hersa37: thanks
19:52 mrdumpling64: no problem
19:52 mrdumpling64: you might even get a few people who are willing to do a Guest Difficulty for you if you are lucky
19:52 mrdumpling64: I can't do one atm because I'm preparing to go overseas, sorry
19:52 mrdumpling64: but yeah
19:52 hersa37: What things do I need to put in the description
19:53 hersa37: ?
19:53 mrdumpling64: uhm
19:53 mrdumpling64: well you can add whatever you want
19:53 mrdumpling64: like thoughts on this song
19:53 mrdumpling64: who you credit for helping you with making the song (xD)
19:53 hersa37: Will the bpm and offset be put in automatically?
19:53 mrdumpling64: yes
19:53 hersa37: Haha, I'll be sure to put your name in
19:54 mrdumpling64: lol
19:54 mrdumpling64: and of course don't forget others who help you with modding
19:54 mrdumpling64: and if anyone makes a guest difficulty for you, mention them as well
19:54 hersa37: And give them kudous
19:54 mrdumpling64: yes
19:55 mrdumpling64: 01:18:255 (7) - new combo
19:56 mrdumpling64: and yeah
19:56 mrdumpling64: that's it
19:56 hersa37: And I just uploaded it
19:56 hersa37: done
19:57 mrdumpling64: cool
19:57 hersa37: Will it automatically update if anything changes?
19:57 mrdumpling64: just say in description that it is work in progress
19:57 mrdumpling64: uhm it should
19:57 mrdumpling64: wait
19:59 hersa37: here's the link if you want to check it out http://osu.ppy.sh/forum/t/172717
19:59 mrdumpling64: yea so right now you would be clicking the Work in Progress button instead when uploading
19:59 mrdumpling64: cool
19:59 hersa37: btw, is it alright if I advertise it while playing online?
19:59 mrdumpling64: uhm
19:59 mrdumpling64: do you go on the forums much?
20:00 mrdumpling64: you could maybe put it as a signature
20:00 hersa37: Just about to put that in
20:00 mrdumpling64: I have to ask if it's ok though
20:01 mrdumpling64: OK
20:01 mrdumpling64: yes it's fine to advertise it in when you're playing multiplayer
20:01 mrdumpling64: not spam level though
20:01 mrdumpling64: also you might want to put in a mod request as well?
20:01 mrdumpling64: #modreqs
20:03 mrdumpling64: also read [https://osu.ppy.sh/wiki/How_to_Get_Your_Map_Ranked this] as well
20:05 hersa37: Do you have any BATs to recommend?
20:06 mrdumpling64: Andrea is a pretty good BAT, don't call him yet until you've given some kudosu and earnt some star priority
20:06 mrdumpling64: also one more way to get your map modded
20:06 mrdumpling64: other than #modreqs and privately asking someone
20:07 mrdumpling64: is to check out modding queues in the forums
20:07 mrdumpling64: just be sure to read the rules of each original poster
20:08 hersa37: what's "M4M"? mod4mod?
20:09 mrdumpling64: mod4mod means you mod their beatmap and they mod yours
20:10 hersa37: How long does it usually take for a newcommer's map to be ranked?
20:10 mrdumpling64: the time should be the same as far as I am concerned
20:10 mrdumpling64: a few ways to go about your question
20:11 mrdumpling64: if a BAT makes a beatmap it's not like it will get ranked in 1 second
20:11 mrdumpling64: if a newcomer is determined to get their map ranked and follows the appropriate steps then yes it will get ranked pretty soon
20:12 hersa37: Alright then, thank you very much for your help
20:12 mrdumpling64: it's the same with anything else in real life really
20:12 mrdumpling64: no problem
20:13 mrdumpling64: I'll just write that I modded for you in game
20:23 hersa37: What's draining time?
20:24 mrdumpling64: when playing you gradually lose health and have to replenish it by hitting the notes in time
20:24 mrdumpling64: draining time is the amount of time where that health loss takes place
20:25 hersa37: In other words, the time when the map starts
20:25 mrdumpling64: yea
20:26 mrdumpling64: actually I'm not quite sure either
20:26 mrdumpling64: should ask in #modhelp just in case
20:26 mrdumpling64: but that's my best guess
20:27 mrdumpling64: is it alright if I save the log for this chat and paste it in the thread?
20:27 mrdumpling64: in case someone asks how I did the mod
20:31 hersa37: Sure, I don't mind
20:31 mrdumpling64: cool, thanks
