What I want!
Hey osu people, it's Dylan and do you know how when you want to download a map, it will say something like download beatmap or without video? I was wondering if you can also add filter where you could select wheter you want to download with skins or without, storyboards or without, or hitsounds or.. you get the point. I find it annoying having to download the file and just delete every skin part, hitsound, storyboard, video you name it. So what I request is for there is to be a filter where you can select which ones you don't want and then click on download beatmap which thank god - saves time. Well that's all and Dylan is out.

Why do you delete hitsounds, skins and videos if you can disable them?

Gigabytes. Just feel like it. Having to do it each time bugs me. In multi player, I forget all about and I just feel weird.

You can disable them for all beatmaps in options. So you don't have to disable them each time

I know but then again, it takes up the whole file and files contain gigabytes and my brother plays and he has like 29 songs and he has to delete every single thing he doen't need because his laptop doesn't contain that much gigabytes.

Well, that is not the main purpose of the request, the request was meant to save every data storage space and bandwidth, downloading without hitsound files, storyboard files, skin files and video could actually save bandwidth and data storage.

I remember downloading an beatmap with lots of hitsound and images.

It took me like 10 minutes and the map is like 15MB and above because of hitsounds and storyboard.

It could also be useful for downloading maps while in multiplayer where you need to download as fast as possible.

So you prefer clicking on each seperate item each time when downloading instead of mass deleting when in songs folder and searching for .flv/.avi/.wav/.ogg etc? Ok
I have a feeling I've seen a similar request as well, will look for it

Don't think this is needed. It's not necessary, really.

Because Canada have >1 Mb/s internet.

This feature is useful for slow internet or limited bandwidth users. (i'm one of them, just slow internet and 80kb/s at max)

But those duplicates concerns me though.

Just putting this out there for the record: osu! supporters have the option of downloading a beatmap without video

I'm neutral on this. Currently, ignoring beatmap skins also ignores the color. I want to keep the color but delete the skin -.-

Oh wow, didn't think of that.
Also a reason, I guess.

If there is a download without video, why not this?

I agree that this would be an useful feature!

I have about 9000 beatmaps, because of which Osu! takes about 1/5 of my poor 110 GB SSD :cry: Windows, Visual Studio, system files and all Microsoft related stuff takes something like 63 GB of my disc space, which leaves only 25 GB of space for hundreds of other programs, IDEs, drivers and all the stuff I just need to have on my laptop drive, instead of external HDD.

I currently have only few GB of free space, so I will need to delete something again, before I turn off or hibernate my laptop :(


I don't know to how extend I would use this, as I like the beatmaps components and I think about moving Osu on my external HDD anyway (Why can't you just choose a folder to keep the songs in? Why?), but it would be definitely useful.

SPOILER
Why can't you just choose a folder to keep the songs in? It would solve so many problems :cry: People could keep them on external HDD, like you can for example keep Steam games and so many problems would be solved, or at least weakened.
Just why?
Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?

Edit: I am giving all my stars. I unfortunately have only one, but I was keeping it for something important, so for me it weights more ;)

might as well tell the mappers to just submit the beatmap with the music file then...

Most of the file size is contributed by video files and occasionally storyboards

Just look for SB folders, video file types on your computer and you would probably have saved 1gb without much effort

I thought we already had the option to download without videos already and that's already a god sent to asia during night time

I would only agree about storyboards, there should be an option to download a map without these.

About the rest, they either take very few space (like backgrounds) or are necessary for a proper gameplay experience (like custom hitsounds, still wonder why you can even ignore those).

They take little space in a small scale.
But once it is a huge scale like 1k map of storyboarded map, it could take gigabytes.

Well, I see the point behind saving data storage with this, hence I would like to see this happening. But I am not sure if it will be done if two duplicates have been marked as invalid already.

This ^ Seem like the logical choice, as SBs take up the most room.
If this was to get considered, I'm assuming it's supporter only too?

I don't know why but why can't anyone do it. It takes forever to download and makes my game slow because of too much gigabytes.

No, well... Because download no video is already available to every user so why not this too?

Having more songs only makes reloading beatmaps longer, it doesn't actually affect the gameplay (maybe the first time you play it when you started osu!)

Most players in the top 100 have about 100GB and I don't see them complaining about lag because of it

I guess most of storyboarders will stop making storyboards because of this. Since most of players will not download them.
I'm not really sure about this. I'm okay by downloading beatmaps without skins and videos but not with storyboards since they are part of the beatmap.

No! I'm saying there should be an optional part where they could chose either without (skins, hitsounds, video, storyboard.) They could just select which one they don't want or just download it normally with all this stuff and then click download beatmap. (Smart right!) ;) ;) ;) ;)

Video is optional because it IS optional, not all the custom hitsound used. I would support this.

I'm talking about skins and hitsounds too. It's annoying to do that. It takes time downloading it and it slows the game down for people with less gigabytes

But even as it's optional, most players would simply select downloading without the storyboard anyway because it's more economical for them and they would typically play on 100% background dim anyway. Maps like these being downloaded without their storyboard can be a bit conflicting. I'd like to think they don't get highlighted enough. Anyhow, storyboards would typically range from kb to about the size of a small video file, depending on what's needed. Video files are still by and large the largest of files.

But still, it just doesn't seem right.
