100 instrumentals in 2024

The following package contains 100 instrumental maps ranked/loved in 2024 that I felt at least somewhat enjoyable. Selected through an exhaustive search in the beatmap listing. Shared mainly for players don't know what maps to play and happen to have similar preferences with me (if don't you can do your own exhaustive search!)

selection criteria

- std mode
- no explicit content
- drain time > 1 min
- top diff is insane or higher (exceptions exist)
- no ai backgrounds (I tried to verify but cannot guarantee 100%)
- mapper doesn't have very obvious unacceptable behavior (usually I only check the osu personal page of the mapset host at the time of download)

the following are very subjective:
- bg and song preview don't make me too uncomfortable
- song more or less meets my preference (melody focused, no too much wub wub stuff or weird vocal samples etc.)
- map is somewhat enjoyable for me (no heavy slider tech / intense reading / 9*+ / maps I completely don't understand etc. Please note that I mainly play Relax)
- some other considerations, occasionally

Download Here
Conflict of interest: include my map (3/100)

If you use lazer you can also get the maps from the playlist (search 100 instrumentals in the playlist listing)

100 instrumentals in 2023

The selection criteria is same as above, for maps ranked/loved in 2023.

some lazer tweaks

Disclaimer

Since the lazer code base is continuously evolving, some of the tweaks below may stop working or behave unexpectedly over time. I cannot be responsible for any consequences from using them.

All of these tweaks require modifying source code thus disable score submission, but they don't affect mapping.

Revert lazer to the original osu logo

To be fair I think the new logo with the dot removed is acceptable, but I still prefer the original logo. So here is how to get it back.
Roughly speaking, it's about reverting https://github.com/ppy/osu-resources/pull/305 and https://github.com/ppy/osu/pull/26704. If you don't need mobile releases, here is the procedure:
1) apply the following diff to the osu repo:

Hide team flags

Christmas effects

find a line with public static readonly bool ENABLED in osu.Game/Seasonal/SeasonalUIConfig.cs. Change the value to true/false to enable/disable the Christmas effects.

If you only want to enable the main menu lighting but not other Christmas stuff (like the Santa hat or intro):
1) remove readonly in the line mentioned above
2) add the line SeasonalUIConfig.ENABLED = true; at the beginning of the method started by private void load(BeatmapListingOverlay beatmapListing... in osu.Game/Screens/Menu/MainMenu.cs, and add SeasonalUIConfig.ENABLED = false; at the end of the method (it's quite long so be careful).

Change the range and default value of grid spacing; "disable" grid lines

In osu.Game.Rulesets.Osu/Edit/OsuGridToolboxGroup.cs find a line with public BindableFloat Spacing { get; } = new BindableFloat(4f). The "4" in the last bracket is the default grid spacing. The range of allowed grid spacing can be controlled by the MinValue and MaxValue just below that line.
How to "disable" grid lines: change the MaxValue to 512, then in the editor set the X and Y offset to 0, and the grid spacing to 512.

Avoid moving already placed objects in all distance snap modes

This feature first appears in 2025.220, but only applies when "Limit distance snap placement to current time" is enabled. I consider this change to be a net gain overall, so I extended it to the default DS mode as well (it does not affect initial placements).
How-to: find this line

result ??= Composer.TrySnapToDistanceGrid(movePosition, limitedDistanceSnap.Value ? referenceBlueprint.Item.StartTime : null);

in osu.Game.Rulesets.Osu/Edit/OsuBlueprintContainer.cs. Change limitedDistanceSnap.Value ? referenceBlueprint.Item.StartTime : null to referenceBlueprint.Item.StartTime.

Hide the hitsound circles/pills in the timeline

Find a line like LabelContainer.ResizeTo(new Vector2(12), 200, Easing.OutQuint); in osu.Game/Screens/Edit/Compose/Components/Timeline/SamplePointPiece.cs. Change 12 to 0.
There is a similar line below:LabelContainer.ResizeTo(new Vector2(Label.Width, 16), 200, Easing.OutQuint);. Change Vector2(Label.Width, 16) to Vector2(0).

Custom path for "Edit externally"

In osu.Game/Database/RealmArchiveModelImporter.cs find a line with string mountedPath = , change the value after = to a string with the path you like.

Combine 1/4 and 1/3 divisors into one group (so you can switch between them with Ctrl+Scroll)

In osu.Game/Screens/Edit/Compose/Components/BeatDivisorPresetCollection.cs find a line with public static readonly BeatDivisorPresetCollection COMMON = . There is a group of numbers like { 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 } at the end of the line; change it to { 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16 }. After this change some divisors would not display correctly in the top right box, but the functionality should not be affected.

export all maps in lazer

I have seen this requested multiple times with no positive response, and sometimes I also personally need it, so I wrote a program doing it.
Download Here
How to use: decompress, close lazer, enter the decompressed folder corresponding to your OS, run testcsharp(.exe) in a console and follow the directions there. If your OS is not included you can try compile from source (see the src folder).

Disclaimer: this is essentially a "reverse engineering" of the realm database which means it may not work for all users, and will very likely break if the devs change the db structure in future. Also I recommend backup at least the lazer data folders in prior, since I'm not responsible for any consequences of using it (though I have tried to avoid dangerous behavior like deleting files).

Note: if you have local maps edited in lazer they are likely in a new format that stable cannot read, so you if you import them into stable you may see stable complaining maps beings corrupted. If you open their .osu files you should see version 128 in the first line (instead of e.g. 14).

run mapset verifier on linux

download tar.gz release and extract
launch by this (you can try without the --no-sandbox flag, but for me it's necessary otherwise it does not launch)
```
./mapsetverifier --no-sandbox
```
if check results don't load: run this in terminal and observe the output
```
./resources/app/api/linux-x64/MapsetVerifierBackend
```
for me it complains No usable version of libssl was found which can be solved by manually install openssl1.0. For ubuntu it can be downloaded from here

another possible error is Couldn't find a valid ICU package installed on the system, and the solution is to install libicu70; for ubuntu download at here

mp3 and jpg encoding

mp3 encoding:

1. download lame. You can get windows builds at here; for other OSes either check the lame official site or build from source
2. in cmd (or whatever shell): lame --noreplaygain -b 192 filename.mp3

note1: you can also use Audacity, which internally uses lame so it's essentially same
note2: I don't recommend Adobe Audition, because its mp3 encoder has a different logic on high frequency cutoff so e.g. your mp3 file may get cut off at 16 kHz even at 192 kpbs, and BNs will say your mp3 is overencoded (I didn't investigate the song quality but just to avoid problems...)

jpg encoding:

1. downscale the image if necessary. You can use MS Paint if you want to go simple, or use Photoshop for higher quality (Image - Image Size..., Resample = Automatic). Note that you should export in a lossless format (usually png) at this step.
2. download mozjpeg. It has a lot of files, what we need is cjpeg in static/tools.
3. in cmd (or whatever shell): cjpeg -quality 90 filename.png > filename.jpg

note: RC allows using .png directly, but they are significantly larger in size and from my experience thq quality of cjpeg -quality 90 is usually comparable with the original image. Larger file sizes means higher server cost and longer to download (not everyone can download at several M/s from osu)

convert hitsound volume % to dB

Note: these results came from experiments on my own crappy laptop. Also I have only tested stable on windows.

experiment procedure

1. add a white noise file as hitsound (I used a 3-second file)
2. place the headphone near the microphone (their positions must not change during the experiment)
3. play the hitsound at different volume levels in the timing setup panel, and record the dB numbers reported by the microphone (I used OpenSoundMeter, with SPL A weighting and Fast average window)

Some more considerations:
1. the builtin microphone of my laptop only give consistent results in a certain range of dBs; beyond that range the numbers would have large fluctuations and vary significantly from run to run. So I have to adjust the system volume to ensure the raw numbers are always in that range, assuming that the system volume setting only adds a global offset to dB numbers. That seems to be true from my limited testing.
2. I tested with 2 different headphones and got almost same results.

hitsound volume %  100   90   80   70    60   50   40     30   20   10    5
dB (100% as 0dB)     0   -1   -2   -3  -4.5   -6   -8  -10.5  -14  -20  -26

ok I realized that the volume % is simply proportional to the amplitude lol

买supporter的时候

买supporter的时候最好选美元结账（微信支付的时候有个地方选CNY或USD,默认是CNY,可以改成USD），因为xsolla的汇率比较亏。微信付款的时候会自动转换成人民币（微信转换的汇率是正常的）。

visual novels

I consider a visual novel as an integration of four aspects: the world, content, structure, and visuals.

The following are visual novels I read and found at least somewhat enjoyable (roughly sorted by my own preference). Please note that every work listed here has its merits and faults, and listing it here does not mean I agree with everything in it.

btw I skip all H scenes so please don't blame me if the H scenes of some VNs contain very stupid stuff but I didn't disqualify them
