Good kps programs for osu (or other games), thanks you :D
Btw, I don't know if this is a bug, but, when I add key on the kps, some show a totally different thing, like the key ": or /" on a azerty keyboard is show as "barre oblique" (french word for choosing "/") or the key "! or §" is show as "¥" or even the shift key on the right show an error "unknown keycode: 0xe36" ;w;
So I was wondering if you can do something for this because it's really weird
Here a screen of the programs when launched : http://i.imgur.com/160g6zJ.png
Here one on the key panel : http://i.imgur.com/w0I0MUu.png


This should now mostly be fixed in version 6.2 :D. The only thing I'm not sure about is the "¥" and shift case.

I never even though about using it for an MMO though xD. But it's a very valid use, so I'll be adding support for keys with one or more of the three modifier keys (shift, alt, ctrl) I added shift since that is the modifier key I use in MMO's :D .

Take your time! No rush at all!


Implemented :D, I haven't tested it very thoroughly though so there might still be some bugs.

P.S. One minor detail is that pressing the key and after that a modifier doesn't trigger the tracker. But finding a way around that would impact performance. Besides you usually already have the modifier key down when pressing the 'real' key. I might change this later though if I come up with an efficient algorithm.

(I didnt read all 5 pages, hoping nobody allready made these suggestions)

I really like your program. The functionality is perfect, but it doesnt look god for me. I would be happy if we could have a little bit more freedom with the design.
I would replace the default keycounter with yours, but yours is horizontal.
What I would wish is that we cann re-arange the positionating of the keys, so we could for example form it like the inputoverlay. Then we could do for example K1,K2,Avg and Max instead of K1,k2,M1,M2 from osus keycounter.


I hope you can understand my bad english, if u have any questions about my suggestions please answer to this reply or write me ingame.

I think I get the general idea (being able to arrange the keys in any layout horizontal & vertical). It'll probably take a while to implement though ;) .

Edit:
Finally done implementing this :)
There might be some new bugs aswell though :D so if you find any, please report them ^^

New updates

Version 6.3

Add a lot of layout related options:
- All text can now be rendered either horizontal or vertical (default)
- Panels can now be organized in a grid instead of just a single row. The number of rows and columns is custom.
- Positions can now also be assigned to the max, avg, cur & tot panels. Meaning they can now also be placed at a custom place instead of at the end of the row.
- 4 new modes of the graph are implemented. Under the other components (default), on top of them, on the right of them, on the left of them and detached. When the graph is detached it gets it's own window that can be given a custom size.
- The graph dimensions are no longer fixed and can be changed (as long as the side isn't shared).
- Support to save & load all of the above to a configuration file.

Version 6.4
Fix the position/index feature not working. (version 6.4)

Version 6.5
- Added warning dialog to prevent more keys being added then there are rows & columns.
- Added an extra render mode for rendering horizontal keys in the value-text format.
- Add specific reset commands to the reset menu.

You can, but only if you don't run osu! with the fullscreen option checked (fullscreen resolution is fine).



Roan wrote:

osu! can be in fullscreen resolution, but it can't actually have the fullscreen property set. Otherwise both programs will fight for the top window property (fullscreen implies topmost window) and that causes neither of them to work correctly :/

I've experimented with a lot of things, but currently I haven't found an alternative or fix for this issue yet :o .

Hi, thank you for reporting this. I just tested it and it seems that I broke it somehow.
I'll try to find the bug and fix this a.s.a.p. meanwhile I discovered that if you change the command keys to something without a modifer (e.g. just P) then it will still work.
It'll hopefully be fixed soon and thank you for using KeysPerSecond :)

Edit: I found the bug, it should be fixed within about an hour from now.

Edit 2: All fixed :)

Update v7.1

-Fix command keys with modifiers not working
-Repaint the frame when resetting statistics or totals for an immediate display update

It's already there you can pass a config file to the program either via the command line or if you associate the .kpsconf2 file format with the executable.

So you could either make a small .bat file containing: "path/to/KeysPerSecond.exe path/to/config.kpsconf2".
Or click the config file -> open with -> and then select the KeysPerSecond executable (works as long as you don't move the executable afterwards).

If this wasn't what you meant feel free to correct me :)
nobully
Oh okay, I totally didn't think of a bat file, thanks! Though what I had in mind was the program does this for you, you just tell it which config to load automatically if you choose to. Just something I thought of :)

EDIT: I made a shortcut with the target being "path\keyspersecond.exe" "path\kpsconfig.kpsconf2" and that worked great 👌

Yeah I've had that idea for a while as well. The problem being where do I store the data? Since I export as a single executable which causes there to be no installation process, the program does not really have a folder of it's own to store anything in. The program runs on Windows, Linux and OSX. So I'd need something for all of them. I actually might have found a method that works for this. I'll see if I can get it to work.

For now the bat file seems like the way to go though :)
Thanks for the suggestion ;)

Edit
There actually seems to be a JDK bug that has to be solved before I can implement this... I'll keep a look at the bug status but for the time being passing the config to the executable is the way to go. Unless I come up with some other idea :|

Edit 2

Version 7.2

This release mainly focusses on fixing small bugs, most of which were in the key-modifier tracking.

- Fix modifier keys not being highlighted when key-modifier tracking is on.
- Fix modifier keys releasing every other key when key-modifier tracking is on.
- Fix the key-modifier check box not being toggled when loading a config.
- Fix all known cases of key-modifier tracking weirdness.
- Rework key-modifier tracking internally to be more efficient.
- Lots of internal optimizations.
- Better color support for unfilled grids (empty tiles are now either the background color or transparent depending on whether transparency is enabled).
- Fix several minor bugs in the right click menu.

I'm sorry there is currently no way to do this :( . The closest you can get right now would be to run two instances of the program, one for the graph+stats and one for the keys. I may look into making the layout options even more flexible though, but I currently don't have the time available to me that would be required to do so. I'll put it on my todo list though so there's a good chance that layout options will expand in future releases ;) .

When I open osu! in fullscreen mode, OBS stops updating KPS counter so I have to tab out of the game in order to make OBS show updated KPS values. How to fix that? I don't play in window mode so don't suggest that.

That's weird, the only explanation I can come up with for that is that the display manger doesn't think it's required to update the window since it's not directly visible. Personally I also have it setup with osu! running in fullscreen mode though and I don't have any issues with it. However that's probably because I run OBS and KeysPerSecond on a different monitor so the window is always visible. Since I'm currently not at home I do not have the means to do any extensive testing, but I'll try to run some tests near the end of this week or the start of the next week. I strongly suspect it to be an operating system optimization though that prevents rendering updates on windows that are not directly visible. If you are running KeysPerSecond on a second monitor though I would start by trying all the different window capture options in OBS.

tl;dr I'll edit this once I've had the chance to do some proper testing/debugging.

Edit: Turns out that it is indeed probably some operating system optimalisation. I could reproduce this if I disabled all but 1 monitor and had osu! running in full screen mode. Funnily enough having an extra monitor connected makes it so that it always works even if KeysPerSecond is on the monitor with osu! running on it. Unfortunately this also means that there is nothing I can do to fix this. Though it's possible that there is some setting somewhere in Windows that would (but I couldn't find any information about that). Thus the only fix I could find was to connect some extra monitor (using a mobile phone/tablet as an extra monitor should work too). I'm sorry, I'm afraid that this is beyond my control.

tl;dr Windows made it so that if a program is in full screen other programs do not get updated.

I don't know if it's just me, but I wanna use this for other things, not just osu, it's really really good. However...if I have it set to arrow keys, it umm, doesn't display them right, fully.

The left arrow key is rather...broken, plus the sizes between the left and right, and up and down, keys kind of bother me? I know there's probably not many symbols for that kind of thing but I certainly think it is worth telling you. Let me know if there's a way to improve that and if there is a plan to. Everything else though is perfect, but this is on the off chance I use a game that's arrow keys mainly, but normal wasd games are fine.

You're right that doesn't really look quite right xD. That being said I don't know what would cause this issue. I'll look into it though. Thank you for reporting this ^^

My time is really limited lately though so that's why updates are slow right now :( I have some time right now though so if it's an easy fix you can expect a fix later tonight ;) .

Sounds good! Not gonna lie, didn't think you'd get back to me so fast! But if you do get a fix out then you've made this a really good stream element for me to have in practically all streams :D

UNRELATED EDIT:
So, I do have this up in OBS, as its own window capture, works great, now the only issue is if I close the window while OBS is up, it for some reason opens the key input screen? I don't really know why or how, or if that's even fixable, just thought I would let you know, because it's a bit annoying to have to sometimes readjust it on my layout.

That sounds interesting xD I have no idea why this would happen though and I can't seem to reproduce it either :( closing KeysPerSecond while OBS is window capturing it doesn't have any side effects for me :/

Looks much better, also I think it was just OBS doing...OBS things, seems to sometimes happen sometimes not, but it seems certainly lessened with the window title must match option, because I have another java running program up so I think it confused the poor counter.

Nonetheless a very weird issue xD
I did manage to get OBS to display an other Java program. But even with 10 KeysPerSecond instances open I couldn't get it to do any weird things. But I guess you're right and it's just OBS doing OBS things ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Huh..weird, I went into it and remade my arrow key bindings...and well, here's the thing.

For some reason they're boxes now :( I think arrow keys just aren't friendly to this program. Unless anyone else wants to say they're fine and mine is just dumb. I downloaded from the standard window exe not java's download if that helps. I really like this program so that's why I wanna let you know the issues about it.

Hmm, that's really weird, as far as I know the symbols I used (⯅⯆⯇⯈) are part of the UTF standard and should therefore also be available preatty much anywhere. I'll see if I can find computer/laptop that doesn't like them either. I did verify the executable and it works fine for me. Actually, if I save the configuration and load it again the symbols are gone .-.

In any case, until I find a more permanent solution for this you can simply edit your configuration file with notepad, go to the #Keys section and change the name="key name here" part to something that works for you.

Alright, second attempt :)
I managed to find yet another set of arrow symbols, but this set should be supported a lot more.

And while I was at it I also manged to find and fix a few other bugs.

In any case let me know if this fixes the issue for you :)

And thank you for the bug reports ^^

Version 7.4

- Add the GitHub link to the initialisation dialog.
- Fix the configuration file not supporting UTF-8 characters.
- Fix position saving only working when the graph is displayed in its own window.
- Change the arrow key symbols to unicode symbols with better availability.

Version 8.0

This is a major release that completely changes the layout system of the program.
You are now able to design basically any layout of the panels as long as it aligns to the grid of the program.

Note however that because of this the old configuration format does not load completely anymore!
If you never changed any of the layout settings your configuration will load just fine, however if you made
changes to the layout chances are that it won't look exactly the same in this version (though since more is possible now you can fix your layout to look the same again).

Example of what you can do now:


Changes:
- Grid based layout editor that shows layout changes in real time (if opened from the right click menu) and that allows custom panel sizes
- Rendering modes can now be set on a per key basis
- Overall improved performance
- Removed the size setting

P.S. Since the layout systems is completely new I expect there to be at least a few bugs that slipped past my testing.

This is actually not trivial sadly. Overlay mode for KeysPerSecond just forces it to be the top window. However most of these games run in full screen mode, which is kind of special in that there can only be one such window at the same time. Most overlays you see that actually do manage to run on top of games like this don't actually run on top, but rather inject custom code into the game's render to accomplish this.

The easiest work around is therefore to just not run the game in full screen mode so that other programs are still allowed on top of it (if that's an option, windowed/borderless mode).

Implementing code injection into running games to accomplish an overlay anyway while strictly speaking possible is still rather difficult to do. In addition there are also other considerations, since you're modifying the game's render you're also directly affecting the performance of the game and if done incorrectly might even cause crashes. Besides this, the anti-cheat logic for competitive games often flags actions like this as using cheats (except for some popular white listed applications, TeamSpeak, etc).

I've looked into this before and whether or not to try add support. I might work on it some time if I have a lot of free time, but either way the option would come with a fair warning if I ever finish it.

I apologize for the long reply that was probably not what you were hoping for, but I wanted to explain the whole situation ^_^'

Hmm, as far as I know it should just be a matter of starting the jar file. Though I do not personally own a mac at this time. It might also be the case that you have to mark the jar as executable first. Do you get the idea that it starts and chrashes or just does not start at all? Could you try running it using a terminal using 'java -jar KeysPerSecond-v8.2.jar' and see if that reports any more useful debug information? It could also be the case that there's an issue related to newer macOS versions in which case I might have to look into that. I assume that you are also running an up-to-date version of Java 8+.

Hey, there's no real setup required to use the program. You only need to download the executable (if you're on Windows) and then double click that (or right click > open) to run the application. After that you might want to customise the look or just click on "OK" to use the default theme. If this does not work for some reason, please let me know.

Like nobully said, you'll have to use something like a screen recording for that. When you're watching a replay no keystrokes are sent to your operating system, osu! just plays the replay data, so there's not really anything for me to capture.

Hey, both features have been requested before and are already on my todo list. I cant really give any estimate for when I'll actually be able to get around to implementing them though...

However, it is currently possible to automatically start KeysPerSecond with a configuration file from the command line. To do this you would have to make a '.bat' file containing 'C:\path\to\KeysPerSecond-v8.2.exe "C:\path\to\config.kpsconf3"' (then you can start KeysPerSecond by running the '.bat' file). Or you can just drag drop the configuration file on the exe, I think it should also be possible to set KeysPerSecond as the default program to open '.kpsconf3' files (provided that you don't move the exe afterwards).

Some more user friendly way of doing this will be added in the future when I'm able to do so.

Hey, I still haven't really decided on anything regarding the implementation of an overlay. I do still want to try, but all the concerns and complications highlighting in my previous post still stand.

Sorry for not having a more conclusive answer, the feature is on my todo list and since it's a fairly popular request I may still get to it at some point >_>

If osu! is running in full screen mode (which it probably is), then it is not possible to place another program on top of it (since there can only ever be one full screen program). Some programs work around this issue by injecting code into the program they want to appear on top of (e.g. Steam overlay). Though technically these programs are not actually on top of the program but rather they injected themselves into that program. I have a similar feature on my todo list, but there are a lot of issues and concerns regarding such a feature. I've highlighted the major ones in an earlier reply here community/forums/posts/7391965

The workaround for the time being is to not run osu! in full screen mode (full screen borderless is fine). But this can cause performance issues for osu! So whether or not that's viable varies on a case-by-case basis.

I have a similar feature on my todo list, but there are a lot of issues and concerns regarding such a feature. I've highlighted the major ones in an earlier reply here community/forums/posts/7391965

The workaround for the time being is to not run osu! in full screen mode (full screen borderless is fine). But this can cause performance issues for osu! So whether or not that's viable varies on a case-by-case basis.

If osu! is running in full screen mode (which it probably is), then it is not possible to place another program on top of it (since there can only ever be one full screen program).

I don't understand if on windows it is possible to overlay it on full screen mode. I tried it without full screen and it works perfectly, but due to the full screen mode being off, there is a considerable delay when pressing keys.

At the moment there is no support for injecting the program into osu! to make it appear as if it is on top of osu! On Windows there can only ever be one full screen application on a monitor, anything that wants to appear on top has to inject itself into the renderer of the full screen application. Implementing support for something like this comes with a fair number of issues and things to consider so while I'm considering it, I'm not sure if or when I'll work on this.

Not sure if I completely understood the question, but if by key label you mean the display text of a panel, then there's currently no way to completely remove this. However, in the 'Add key' dialog you can double click the values in the 'key' column and change them to nothing. Although that will get ride of the text, there will still be space reserved on the panel for where the text would've gone. If completely removing the text and space reserved for the text is what you want, then I can put it on my todo list.

Hey, I tried to make the row of keys, and the row of data (such as avg and cur) on 2 different rows, but on the y the only options are 0 or end which makes it into more rows? I can't figure out how to fix this.
EDIT: I figured out I can make the row of keys a higher y pos and the avg, cur and max at 0

Hey, like you've already figured out, the negative values are reserved for the special values (end/max). Currently the only way to get extra rows is indeed by moving something else up.

Don't know if it is possible on Java, but I would really appreciate you adding an "Ignore fullscreen button" or something like that, so it would go over fullscreen apps. Your "Overlay doesn't seem to support it.

Overlaying a full screen application is not actually possible for any application. When you see so called overlays what they are actually doing is injecting custom code into the renderer of the game they are overlaying. An easy work around is to just play osu! in full screen windowed mode, but this of course can sometimes lead to lower performance.

Making something that resembles an overlay, while technically possible, is a very tricky thing to do since you are tampering with the memory of a running game. If there are any bugs it's very easy to crash both applications, in addition you are also directly affecting the performance of the game since it now needs to render an additional overlay.

While I'm not against the idea completely and do have it on my long term todo list. It does take a fair bit of work to implement and if I do finish it I will include a fair warning. Especially games with anti-cheat software often don't like other programs messing with the memory of their game, save for some whitelisted applications.

Well, I guess should have read previous posts there, sorry. If you say that understanding DirectX will be a ass pain then so be it. Maybe will try to make something similar on c++. Just was thinking about all those VN hooks, that were made by a couple of people - works fine. Anyway, using some library shouldn't be that hard, right? So far nice work on the app, will eagerly await your solution, whenever it comes.

It's not so much just about understanding DirectX, it's about writing a DLL injection process and custom DLL with renderer modifications for all relevant versions of DirectX and OpenGL. Luckily there is a fair bit of overlap there. As far as I'm aware, while there are some implementations of specific overlay cases out there, no reliable generic libraries exist. If you know of any written in C/C++/Java then I would be interested.

Right now I am working on an another project so until finished don't expect anything. Anyhow, tested a couple of variants, EasyHook seems to work reliably enough: I could inject foreign DLLs in running osu! like fps monitor and process tracker. But as far as I am not sufficiently knowledgeable here it would take a bunch of time to understand the whole process. From here on now, まかせる。

ありがとう, that library does look pretty nice and should at least be able to handle the DLL injection process. I unfortunately also do not have a lot of free time, but I'll see if I can figure out all the details sometime.

Is it possible for a config to be loaded without any default values?

Is there a way I can fix this interface problem upon it being loaded up through the config?

I'm not sure if I understand the problem. Loading a config should restore the state saved in that config file. There are no default values involved in this process. If you have a more specific example or a way to reproduce the issue I would be interested though.

Try just loading up the program without a config, making a new layout, and saving the config again with a different name. I've noticed it's a bit buggy in overwriting so just make sure it has a different name when saving.

Also, the way I load my configs is by making a shortcut to the program, and adding the config file's path to the shortcut's target path.

An example would be C:\path\to\program\KeysPerSecond-vX.exe "C:\path\to\config\config.kpsconfig"

It has to be in quotation marks for the config otherwise it might not work.

I'm not sure if I understand what you mean correctly. When overlay mode is enabled KeysPerSecond will attempt to stay on top of non-fullscreen applications. But I'm not sure what you mean by 'appears from behind'.

Did you give the Keys per second application its own capture? if youre just capturing the screen, then it will be behind osu, and therefore wont show up.

What you are saying should be correct. When you press "Save Config" a dialog should show where you can select a folder to save the config file to and optionally change the name of the file. Pressing "Save" should then save the config and show a confirmation dialog saying it was saved succesfully.

The save dialog should look something like this (open the spoiler box):

It sounds like something isn't working as intended for you, are you perhaps able to give any extra details that might help me track down the issue? Does the save dialog you see match up with the one I just posted?

Thanks for letting me know. I'm aware that a lot of sites are unfortunately rehosting my programs without my permission. Luckily, for most sites it's just an exact copy of the official version I release. However, some sites include unwanted program like you say, or worse, computer viruses.

If you're not running osu! in exclusive fullscreen mode then you can use the overlay mode setting. Overlay injection into a program running in exclusive fullscreen mode is currently not supported (see https://github.com/RoanH/KeysPerSecond/issues/28).
