20:02 Darky1: hey, are you still looking for someone to mod this?
20:02 *Darky1 is editing [https://osu.ppy.sh/b/1036644 MuryokuP - Catastrophe [Calamity]]
20:04 [-Crissaegrim-]: oh yeah
20:05 [-Crissaegrim-]: if you want, please
20:05 Darky1: Is an IRC mod ok?
20:05 [-Crissaegrim-]: sure
20:06 Darky1: I'm not a very experienced modder so I can't give you the full idea
20:06 Darky1: First up, let me ask. What did you have in mind when placing 00:15:733 (1,2,3,4) -
20:06 *Darky1 is editing [https://osu.ppy.sh/b/1038464 MuryokuP - Catastrophe [Disaster]]
20:07 [-Crissaegrim-]: well
20:07 [-Crissaegrim-]: nothing i think tbh
20:07 [-Crissaegrim-]: i just mapped it
20:07 Darky1: Good! Because that is basically the biggest problem!
20:07 [-Crissaegrim-]: i didn't touched this diff in a lot of time
20:08 Darky1: You could make this a square
20:08 Darky1: Just like you did before here 00:14:533 (1,2,3,4) -
20:09 Darky1: I'm trying to give you a general idea on what to look for instead of pointing everything that I see out, if that is ok
20:09 [-Crissaegrim-]: yeah ik, now that i look it
20:09 [-Crissaegrim-]: it looks pretty dumb
20:10 Darky1: Another big thing to note on that square 00:14:533 (1,2,3,4) -
20:10 Darky1: you used grid snap, which isn't always very helpful
20:11 Darky1: select the first note and look at the "Next" in the top right! And then do the same with the other notes in that square
20:11 Darky1: Do you notice it?
20:12 [-Crissaegrim-]: yes
20:12 [-Crissaegrim-]: oh i get it
20:12 Darky1: That was probably done thanks to grid snapping
20:12 Darky1: and I don't think it was intended
20:13 [-Crissaegrim-]: thanks for that, i didn't know:p
20:13 Darky1: I think you should use the same spacing if you are doing squares!
20:14 [-Crissaegrim-]: yeah sure
20:14 Darky1: You used those streams a lot 00:23:533 (1,2,3,4) -
20:14 Darky1: I'm not sure if you could count it as style, but I don't like it at least
20:15 [-Crissaegrim-]: do you mean the style of it?
20:16 Darky1: I mean that your streams usualy go in one direction, and feel very boring because of it
20:16 Darky1: They are placed at the same place etc
20:16 [-Crissaegrim-]: i mean pattern, sorry for the bad english
20:17 [-Crissaegrim-]: ok then, i'll fix that
20:17 Darky1: There is some things about down beats and up beats which is very important and are very often forgotten (or never told) to new mappers
20:18 Darky1: And example would be this 00:25:183 (6,7,8) -
20:18 [-Crissaegrim-]: you mean the drum in this case?
20:18 Darky1: I'd like to give you [https://osu.ppy.sh/wiki/Music_Theory this] to read through, don't worry if you don't fully understand yet.
20:20 [-Crissaegrim-]: ok, thanks for that
20:20 Darky1: 00:36:133 (1,2,1,2,1,2,3) - This one is quite good for example
20:21 Darky1: 00:46:183 (1,1) -
20:22 [-Crissaegrim-]: i get those beats
20:23 Darky1: Those spaces are called blankets, They are used to make maps look a lot better. But you used them very rarely. Which makes the note placement look more random
20:23 Darky1: 00:55:933 (1,2) - Those are curved differently, you could make a nice pattern with them
20:23 [-Crissaegrim-]: spaces between those sliders?
20:24 Darky1: 00:55:783 - There is a drum in the song, but you don't map it
20:25 Darky1: 00:47:533 (1) - you placed streams on those places in the music before, but here you decided to put a long slider instead
20:26 Darky1: Let me give you this 01:08:233 (3,4) - as example for blankets
20:27 Darky1: Compare the current pattern with [https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/5969642 this]
20:29 Darky1: I only moved it a little bit, kept the spacing the same, and only changed the angle a little. and formed this little blanket with it.
20:30 [-Crissaegrim-]: got it, it makes it look better
20:30 Darky1: 01:24:133 (6,1,1,1) - Here you did a good job add using them!
20:31 [-Crissaegrim-]: i read about sliders on a post and tried to use the blankets
20:31 [-Crissaegrim-]: but i used them just in that case i think lmao
20:31 Darky1: xD
20:31 Darky1: It's very easy to make your map look a little better with them!
20:31 *Darky1 is editing [https://osu.ppy.sh/b/1036996 MuryokuP - Catastrophe [Easy]]
20:32 [-Crissaegrim-]: yes, i'll have it in mind for now on
20:32 Darky1: 00:14:533 (1,2,3,4) - Those feel randomly placed, and you used squares on the other diff.
20:32 [-Crissaegrim-]: easy diff was the loveless diff of all kek
20:32 Darky1: q.q
20:33 Darky1: And again, don't use grid snap! it kills your spacing!
20:33 [-Crissaegrim-]: i mapped it in like 10 mins, i'll probably remake it entirely
20:34 [-Crissaegrim-]: i had problems with grid snap with streams
20:34 Darky1: It is very important to keep *constant* spacing on easy and normal diffs
20:34 [-Crissaegrim-]: and i got used to it, better stop using that everytime
20:35 Darky1: 00:22:296 (4) - uhm... I think that is supposed to be one more left?
20:36 Darky1: Well, Your spacing here is very inconsistent, you should use distance snaping on this diff, and never change the amount you snap with
20:36 Darky1: 00:25:333 (4) - here we have 1.15x and 1.20
20:36 Darky1: one note later you have 1.05x spacing
20:37 [-Crissaegrim-]: this diff is a complete mess lol
20:37 Darky1: into 1.4x spacing
20:37 [-Crissaegrim-]: i'll redo it
20:37 [-Crissaegrim-]: from0 prob
20:37 [-Crissaegrim-]: from 0*
20:38 Darky1: Easy and normals are easy to get better at spacing and blankets! I recommend you try and rebuild your diff with blankets and that slider theory I gave you
20:38 Darky1: Easy maps should be simple and very easy to understand, as every player is supposed to be able to play it
20:39 [-Crissaegrim-]: yes i will, gotta keep in mind blankets
20:39 [-Crissaegrim-]: kk
20:39 Darky1: Think a bit more about your placement and when to use sliders instead of circles!
20:39 [-Crissaegrim-]: also, the rythm on the notes in this diff
20:40 Darky1: oh and press ctrl+shift+a while being in the editor!
20:40 [-Crissaegrim-]: idk how to ask, it's ok if i change the rythm of the notes
20:40 Darky1: Not sure what you mean by it tbh
20:41 [-Crissaegrim-]: forget it xD
20:41 [-Crissaegrim-]: yes i've been using the aimod
20:42 *Darky1 is editing [https://osu.ppy.sh/b/1037464 MuryokuP - Catastrophe [Advanced]]
20:42 [-Crissaegrim-]: should i fix the ds errors in lower diffs?
20:42 Darky1: same thing with the spacing 00:25:633 (5) -
20:42 Darky1: Yes, but be carefull about aimod, it's not always wise to fix everything it says
20:43 [-Crissaegrim-]: kk
20:43 Darky1: This plays very badly in my opinion 00:42:733 (1) -
20:44 Darky1: I'm going to stop here, and let you apply and learn a little more about note placement, spacing etc!
20:45 Darky1: You can message me if you have questions or want me to take a closer look at the map when the big issues are fixed!
20:45 [-Crissaegrim-]: okay, thanks for everything, probably i'll message you
20:46 [-Crissaegrim-]: and going to fix these quq
20:46 [-Crissaegrim-]: this*
20:46 Darky1: And don't be afraid of making mistakes! It only improves you if people point it out!
20:48 [-Crissaegrim-]: that's a life lesson!
20:48 Darky1:
