Peppy labeled editing the mapset's files (which includes removing/editing backgrounds/skins/storyboards) as cheating. He does not think that playing with 100% dim compared to 90% dim is cheating (or maybe I'm wrong, you gotta ask him). "Hardcore" players started complaining before fun spoiler was in place, when peppy said not to remove backgrounds. It's been like a month or two since you could dim the background. Most "hardcore" players don't even know about the background dim because all of their stuff is all removed.

90% Dimming limit: Why?

BATs could be able to edit it online (as we already can with online offset and other thingies), in case someone disagrees with something being deletable in an old map. The mapper can then just request a BAT to fix it. That way, everyone who doesn't like it complains about the map and not about osu!~DADDYCOOLVIP wrote:
This'd be a decent solution, actually. Also, every old map made before the update would have the background deletable for fairness. If it was like that, peppy could have his way about the new maps, and the hardcores could have their way as well.
Thanks for the good idea, I'll update the OP.
Scores would be kept, as it makes no sense to delete them; it's not like peppy was planning a score reset for when osz2 came.
I had a feeling the idea had already been brought up and it was shot down, but well, I haven't been really active these days to know what's going on.
LOL Strong logic, then how about not allowing any changes to the map? Let's just keep all BGs at 100%, skins as they are etc if you want to keep your "painting" fully assembled? it should be either that or nothing at all.Mithost wrote:
"If there is no disadvantage for a 90%, then it makes no sense that a 100% dim would be considered cheating"
I'll use the analogy from the last thread. What if you were an artist. You make a nice painting of a mountain, a sunset, whatever you like. You painted that picture to be appreciated the way you made it. A few years later, an art critique walks into the art gallery where your painting is. He walks up to your painting, looks at it for a total of 10 seconds, then takes some scissors and cuts out a slice of your painting, a key part of it to be precise. He then chooses to critique it like he would to any other piece of art. Your first question would be, "Why would this man cut my picture?" His response is, "I can critique your painting better when I remove the distractions."
Also how very nice of you all to speak for every mapper out there. I'm a mapper and I prefer people who play my maps to enjoy my work any way they want, with or without skins or backgrounds, as long as they have fun, I'm happy.

I guess at this point we're just waiting for peppy to comment after he reads every counter-argument in this thread to his proposed plan.
Come on, peppy, we're waiting for you!
This isn't a feature request and sadly I don't see why he would reply to this one. I hope he does, but it's not guaranteed.

edit: I just tried out 90% dimming for myself. The background/storyboard is still very noticeable, even after the dimming, and is very different from a 100% removal. It's much more noticeable in gameplay than it is in a screenshot.
It is still a substantial difference in contrast. It's not 100%, but it's compromise. People should feel lucky that peppy actually agreed to add the setting, when for years and years he was 100% apposed to the idea.

If he can be convinced to go to 90%, he can be convinced to go to 100%. It might take a long time as it has in the past, but I really hope he sees the response and goes back on his current decision, for the best.Mithost wrote:

This is one of the things that bothers me about the toggles. Peppy never ever wanted to add them in: when he did, he added a condition so you could actually appreciate some of the creativity that goes into osu!.Mithost wrote:

So even after getting their toggles, people still complain.
He put it at 90% max for a reason. I don't believe you understand the word compromise.DADDYCOOLVIPPER wrote:

I don't believe in compromise when it comes to features like this, just unwillingness to go all the way, for whatever reason.Mithost wrote:

Well it's his game and no matter what people complain about, he doesn't have to change anything. Stop whining about 10% background dim differences.
I love how this one random guy "represents" all these "hardcore" players of osu!
What creativity are you talking about? Googling a random image and putting it as the background is nothing creative. The creativity itself exists in osu! in the form of beatmaps (their patterns and rhythm), not the image under them. If the map is good it will keep being good even if you delete the image of it. Though if you want to mask your beatmaps' faults then you add a cutie nice bg that brings people to play it.Doodley wrote:

As a mapper/(hardcore) player/modder/MAT:
THE MAPS ARE JUST ENOUGH.
Some reason for me, I actually like having a background. I feel like I'm missing something important if it's just black, so even before this fun spoiler thing, I rarely removed the background. I only did if I was extremely determined to FC something, or the bg was just way too overwhelmingly colorful, which not that many maps were imo.fartownik wrote:

For me, the background is actually important, even if I do use 90% dim. But probably that's because i'm weird.

Adding the option to remove the background won't hinder you from doing what you want, though. The only people this change affects are the ones who would have a problem with it, so why have the change in the first place?winber1 wrote:

9 warnings - a lot related to various forms of trolling - in about a week, and he can't even easily FC Hards on top of that? Well, damn, this has got to be the most effective trolling attempt on osu! that I've ever seen.

I know you called it but I'm not trolling, a very skilled player was talking to me about it and said that he and a few others would stop playing if peppy disallowed the ability to remove a storyboard and that it'd cause imbalance, so I made a thread about it.Ekaru wrote:

I just need to add this too: stop posting.
You are trying to form an argument by insulting people.
Just came back to add this: seriously stop.
Really I can't emphasize this enough: leave.

Keep it to PM, you're adding to the problem even though you want to help get this to peppy.
All we can do is wait, now.
"I don't think peppy will give into your ideas"
"Get out"
Well that escalated quickly.
Anyways... If you really want to get peppy to see this, PM him. You can argue this with him. Me leaving this thread wont get peppy here any quicker. :/

what about this part
Gens wrote:
You know, this might be a little off-topic, but all this fun spoiler discussions make me think... is it what the mapper really wants? In my case, I wouldn't really mind if people disabled or not my storyboards. I'd totally hate if they disabled my skin, but the storyboard or Kiai I can see why; just as an example.
So, what about the idea of letting the mapper choose what to disable and what not? For some gimmick maps it'd totally destroy the joke, and in that case, everyone would still have the same advantages and disadvantages.
Well, I guess that's more of a feature request than anything.
As for the thread... eh, it's already clear enough it's not going to change. Players should already feel lucky the Fun Spoiler feature was added. If people keep whining about it, it might get removed, even.
Even if there's an advantage, it's a very minimal advantage that can be easily overcome.
That was a reasonably productive post, yeah.
Although, I wouldn't allow any disables because the majority of my maps have storyboards, so I don't know. It can vary from person to person.

There's a disable storyboard button after you beat the map once. Why'd peppy include this in the game if he suddenly values beatmaps so much?

If I knew that everyone was just going to disable my storyboard without even outright watching it, I wouldn't make storyboards. And for the people who say "well, I'll just put it on Auto, grab a cup of coffee, and leave the room!" I don't really see a point in doing so, and I wouldn't really want to make a storyboard for that type of person anyway.
Because people bitched an un-imaginable amount so he caved, I like it being there but you are all pushing it to stupid lengths by making tons of threads about it.DADDYCOOLVIPPER wrote:

Topic Starter
There's your problem, that's not what would happen. I doubt that the pro players don't watch the storyboard at least once, they're humans, you know. Also, peppy could take the same approach with map dimming, where you'd have to beat it normally once before you could dim it 100%. Would that satisfy you?Doodley wrote:

Simply: no.
