CTB Mod : Requested here
General:- Add CTB to the tags.
- Check your tags, they're not the same on all versions !
[Shauni's CTB]:- It's not a guest diff, therefore consider changing the diff name to CTB Insane, Hard, or what will fit the final difficulty.
To be honest, you should probably remap the whole CTB. I'll explain why, and of course, I'll give you advice so you can have a decent CTB diff !
- First. You need a lead in. 2 seconds would do it. You can't make a map that start right away without a warning.
- You should check your settings under the "Difficulty tab". Hp Drain: 10, AR7, OD8. It makes something really unbalanced ! I would say HP8, AR9 (It fits better in CTB, 8 is acceptable, 7 and 10 are not for a song at 170bpm). OD 7 or 8.
- Even in CTB the new combo is useful ! Don't put a new combo every note.
- The Tick Rate for slider is too high ! 1 is clearly enough.
- Your timeline is quite inconsistent. Examples : 00:01:116 (1,1,1) - . Why are they mapped on blue ticks? It doesn't make any sense ! There's nothing to map on those blue ticks. You have unsapped notes @ 00:56:375 (1) - and 00:56:552 (2) - Some parts of the timeline are good, but still, it lacks of consistent like 01:40:469 (1,1) - . You could have put a triplet here. 01:35:528 (1,1) - Why is this empty? there's still music here !
This is one of the reasons that make me think you should remap everything ! Try to map by thinking : Here, I can follow the vocals, cause it's catchy, easy to recognize, and I can do something great on it. Here, it's only instrumental, then I should map on it rather than not mapping at all, and so on. Try to find what will fit the best on this part, and map it !
- Did you just copy paste your insane in your CTB diff ? or the CTB diff in the insane ? Cause it's not how it should be done ! Obviously, both diff should look the "same" in a way, when it comes to timeline, but... not at this point. The CTB allows you to map on differents sounds that would be not so easy to map on in standard ! you should take advantage of that. You can map on something in the background, if it's consistent and the player can hear it. Since you don't have to tap the note like in standard, it allows sort of stuff like that ! Also, remember the CTB is translated horizontally. Having a lot of vertical patterns makes the map really boring !
I think you should rework your insane and your CTB diff, to make timelines consistent and improve a lot your patterns. CTB mapping is not about having vertical fruits with an hyperdash at the end of the pattern. Hyperdash are welcome as long as they serve a purpose in the map (making interesting patterns that are not rankable in standard due to high spacing, creating a good flow in the map and so on).
Unrankable stuffHere, it's the unrankable stuff, which means that you CAN'T PUT THAT IN ANY CTB Diff. If you want a better idea on what are the rules/guidelines for CTB mapping, have a look
here, especially for this :

Pixeljumps :: A rare bug that involves three fruit in a row being uncatchable.
You have several jumps that are not FCable in CTB. How to recognize them ? Well it's easy !
01:06:058 (1,1,1,1,1,1) - This one is bugged. The easiest way to explain the pixel jumps:
So, I've removed the note in 01:06:234 (2) - and have repositionned the fruits on an horizontal line (exception is 4, but he's at the same distance on an horizontal plan). 1 - 2 > Hyperdash. 2 > 3 > 4 = no hyperdash. This is a bad. They're exactly at the same position, but, they don't have hyperdash. This is something that should be avoided ! I pointed this, cause you have some in your map, making it impossible to FC without any mods (like Half time or Easy).
Well, I think that's all.
You should have a look on maps that are aiming for ranking in this
thread, at the first page. Take note that some maps in the list have been already modded several time by the CTB modding community and are "more polished" than others. But I think it'll give you an idea on how people map in CTB !
If you need help, ask a CTB modder some advices !
Good luck !
