Osu Versions Save

Editor

Fix near zero-length sliders being placeable and crashing the game (ppy/osu#25916 by @OliBomby)

Gameplay

Adjust "classic" mod multiplier back up to 0.96x (ppy/osu#25934 by @peppy)

Following discussions on discord, this seems like the most agreed upon value. Increasing this is important so that imported legacy scores don't lose too much value.

Gameplay (osu!)

Allow failing with "relax" and "autopilot" mods (ppy/osu#25917 by @rushiiMachine)

A significant portion of players that play primarily using relax mod have asked for the ability to compile relax with other mods, such as "perfect". This wasn't possible until now as relax blocked failing.

This change allows both "relax" and "autopilot" mods to fail, and as a result allows combining "no fail", "perfect" and "sudden death" with them.

If you're a relax player and want to keep the mod as relaxing as you remember it to, you can make a mod preset with RX+NF!

Fix osu! standardised score conversion sometimes exceeding bounds (ppy/osu#25876 by @bdach)

Users reported that some stable scores would convert to large negative total scores in lazer after the introduction of combo exponent. Those large negative total scores were actually mangled NaNs.

(This fix was in yesterday's release)

Show slider tick / slider end misses with a visible judgement (ppy/osu#25951 by @peppy)

I mentioned adding this multiple times this week, so here it is. Design is placeholder in all cases.

Gameplay (osu!mania)

Remove mania mod multiplier for DT/NC (ppy/osu#25958 by @smoogipoo)

Discussed here and here

The general gist of it is that, right now DT and NC are seen more as a personal preference than mods that have any significant impact to scores. The 1M score cap is seen as "sacred" to the degree that these mods, whether the reader agrees with the idea that these are personal preference or not, are not significant enough to justify breaking the score cap.

I believe we've reached the amicable conclusion that we are not adverse to experimenting with mods and their effects, multipliers, and other ways to display scores for showcasing purposes.

One such idea proposed, is to see whether a DT/NC mod with fixed hitwindows becomes more worthy of having a mod multiplier, combined with a separate mod for the current hitwindow-affecting rate adjustment

But, that is for future work. For the time being, I'm satisfied with the conclusion and bringing things to a common ground that everyone can agree with is an objective point of reference.

Adjust mania scoring to be more in line with ScoreV2 + 85% acc / 15% combo (ppy/osu#25945 by @smoogipoo)

See feedback here and here

Gameplay (osu!taiko)

Restore taiko accuracy to ScoreV2 values (ppy/osu#25887 by @smoogipoo)

"Good"s are now worth 150 instead of 100, bringing things in line with osu!(stable) and TnT.

Reliability

• Fix thread safety of OnlineMetadataClient.UserStates (ppy/osu#25931 by @peppy)

Song Select

Update song select to always show difficulty stats (ppy/osu#25898 by @peppy)

We have a larger redesign planned, but let's just get this in so people can easily see both leaderboards and beatmap stats.

This also sets the default display mode to local leaderboard, instead of details, as it's a better look.

Allow choosing "Edit" from any beatmap carousel item (ppy/osu#25900 by @peppy)

Was a bit confusing until now. Even I hit this at least once.

Fix song select running updates when screen is not active (ppy/osu#25943 by @peppy)

This is the reason some sound effects for selecting beatmaps were playing during gameplay.

Fix beatmap updates causing one extra carousel selection (ppy/osu#25949 by @peppy)

This fixes the carousel making one unnecessary selection every time the current selection is updated. Basically, on returning from gameplay this will cause the selection sound to no longer (incorrectly) play, but also likely improves smoothness as it's not randomly selecting a beatmap somewhere in the carousel before correcting back to the retained selection.

Fix some beatmaps being reprocessed each startup (ppy/osu#25895 by @peppy)

Song Select

Fix incorrect ordering of items at song select when certain sort modes are used (ppy/osu#25888 by @peppy)

This is quite an unfortunate one, but I can't see a good way of fixing beyond undoing most of the performance gains from the last major release when certain sort modes (like difficulty sort) are used.

If you have a large library and want best search performance, use a simple sort mode for now (ie. artist or title). We'll iterate on this once things calm down.

Editor

Show the filename of the current file in song setup (ppy/osu#25675 by @vegguid)

Change default slider velocity for new beatmaps to match osu!stable (ppy/osu#25688 by @peppy)

1.4x is the default in osu!stable (ie. on creating a new beatmap in the editor) and plays better than 1.0x, so let's match that on lazer.

Fix osu!taiko slider velocity being written incorrectly to .osu file on export (ppy/osu#25689 by @peppy)

Add verify screen check for delayed hitsounds (ppy/osu#24648 by @ItsShamed)

Improve free-hand drawing of sliders to the editor (ppy/osu#25658 by @OliBomby)

Put simply, curves match your user input 100% better, and create smoother corners. Free-hand slider drawing has basically gone from "oh that's cool but i can make better because i am pro mapper" to "why would you ever not use this?"

Framework

Gameplay

Fix osu!taiko and osu!mania using the incorrect slider length when converting beatmaps (ppy/osu#25595 by @smoogipoo)

Fix hit error displays not clearing lines on seek (ppy/osu#25747 by @peppy)

Adjust some mod multipliers for initial leaderboard sanity (ppy/osu#25744 by @peppy)

Mod	Old	New
Half Time	0.7x	0.3x
Classic	1x	0.5x
Synesthesia	1x	0.8x

There may be others we want to adjust. Note that these are basically placeholder safe values (lower is better) so we can allow these scores on the leaderboard without people complaining about unfairness... unless they are complaining the multiplier is too low (which is fine for now).

Show back button when spectating (ppy/osu#25770 by @peppy)

Avoids getting stuck at some screens. It's a bit ugly having the back button visible like this, but is the best approach we have for now.

Smaller changes

• Fix ArgonHealthDisplay sometimes behaving weirdly on miss judgements (ppy/osu#25672 by @frenzibyte)
• Fix "IgnoreMiss" judgements not updating accuracy (ppy/osu#25740 by @smoogipoo)

Gameplay (osu!)

Implement Argon's spinner progress glow (ppy/osu#25562 by @EVAST9919)

Modify osu! standardised scoring to introduce a combo exponent (ppy/osu#24166 by @Zyfarok)

In osu! with ScoreV1 and ScoreV2, the cost of a miss was growing fast (quadratically) with the surrounding combos. This implied that a single miss could completely ruin the score of a play and cost up to 350k in ScoreV2.

To reduce this effect, a combo exponent of 0.5 was introduced. This effectively reduces the miss-penalty at high combos while keeping it high at low combos, in a similar spirit as how combo is capped in taiko or catch but without any hard-cap.

This combo exponent change is introduced together with a complete re-balance of the Combo/Accuracy split based on user feedback. Note that the new formula will imply higher scores overall and might require a bit of time getting used to. A table showing the effects of the new formula is available at here

Allow sliders to track if hit early (ppy/osu#25748 by @smoogipoo)

Smaller changes

• Add spinner glow resources (ppy/osu-resources#298 by @EVAST9919)
• Make osu! ruleset once again use the lazer default HP drain (ppy/osu#25797 by @smoogipoo)
  • Playing around since the re-introduction of osu!stable's HP drain mechanics, I've become uncertain about using the osu!stable drain by default since it doesn't quite match the "feel" of osu!stable.

Most of my issues appear at higher HP drain rates, but with HR even on old maps the minimum is usually HP 8.4, which falls into the problematic region. I believe the difference is mostly where the judgements are placed - in osu!stable sliders have a big judgement at the end (300 + tick), whereas in lazer they have a medium-high judgement at the start (300) and a small judgement at the end (tick). The raw HP drain rate seems to be quite similar, and if anything osu!stable should be harsher on the cases I've found.

I've also attempted to make lazer stable better, but I haven't been able to get it "just right".

There are others that have wanted the old algorithm back, which pretty much echo what I've said above: https://github.com/ppy/osu/discussions/25631

So... This PR moves the osu!stable algorithm to the classic mod.

Here's a replay demonstrating this: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-AEIhaVF2YfXVR9GYc8UFAnV7zfFFHvA/view?usp=sharing Note that osu!stable will play with V1 mechanics, but V1 and V2 feel about the same (just accuracy is slightly worse on V2).

• Allow sliders to track if hit late (ppy/osu#25776 by @smoogipoo)
  • This allows slider heads to be hit late. In basic terms, this means that as long as your cursor is in the right position to hit ticks / repeats at the point of hitting the slider head late, they will now be hits instead of misses.

C	≥70%	≥85%	≥70%

Fix several issues with osu!catch beatmap conversion (ppy/osu#25685 by @smoogipoo)

This was originally intended to fix hyperdash generation around "pixeljumps", however it turned into much more general fixing of beatmap conversion because I couldn't provide beatmap conversion comparisons without fixing other issues.

Smaller changes

• Use stable sort for catch hyperdash generation (ppy/osu#22499 by @ekrctb)
• Fix catch applying positional clamping too early (ppy/osu#25726 by @smoogipoo)

Gameplay (osu!mania)

Fix mania "autoplay" mod missing 0ms hold notes (ppy/osu#25727 by @PercyDan54)

Fix column sizing exceeding screen width on tablets (ppy/osu#25777 by @peppy)

The mobile stretching mode now applies to all skins, and adjusts to your device's aspect ratio. Note that this changes the width of special columns slightly – we'll be watching feedback as to whether this is throwing people off.

Smaller changes

• Fix precision issue when converting mania beatmaps (ppy/osu#25697 by @smoogipoo)
• Fix mania conversion following new discoveries (ppy/osu#25702 by @smoogipoo)

Multiplayer

Add ability for the host to abort an in-progress match (ppy/osu#25637 by @smoogipoo)

The host can now click a handy abort button to end a match at any point!

Online

Disconnect existing client connections when another client instance for same user is detected (ppy/osu-server-spectator#196 by @bdach)

This avoids any shenanigans from multiple connections.

Display other users' online presence state in dashboard overlay (ppy/osu#25694 by @bdach)

Broadcast user online presence updates to other users (ppy/osu-server-spectator#202 by @bdach)

Results

Fix results screen not including slider end misses in tick count (ppy/osu#25602 by @peppy)

This brings us a step closer to sanity with slider end misses. Now you can at least see when you missed a slider end, as it will reduce the "slider ticks" count.

Settings

Add button to compress log files for bug submission (ppy/osu#25588 by @peppy)

Intended for use in conjunction with https://github.com/ppy/osu-framework/pull/6063. Now that there are many log files, let's compress them on behalf of the user to make reporting bugs easier.

Allow new common cases when a user is locating a stable osu! install directory for import (ppy/osu#25775 by @peppy)

This allows:

• Selecting a Songs or Skins folder directly (will automatically use the parent for imports)
• Selecting an osu! folder without it containing a osu!.*.cfg file (which is the case for some users that have only backed up their Songs or Skins folders)

Skin Editor

Fix being able to change ruleset / beatmap when opening skin editor from main menu (ppy/osu#25687 by @peppy)

Smaller changes

• Fix several edge cases in skin editor gameplay scene opening flow (ppy/osu#25665 by @bdach)
• Fix skin editor crashing in some circumstances when opened in main menu (ppy/osu#25691 by @bdach)

Song Select

Improve song select search performance (ppy/osu#25679 by @peppy)

Reduces time taken to search beatmaps at song select by 88%.

Allow right clicking anywhere on a leaderboard score to get the "use mods" menu (ppy/osu#25683 by @POeticPotatoes)

It was hard to know that you had to click directly on mods previously to use this.

Display osu!mania key-count in song select carousel panels and details (ppy/osu#25711 by @smoogipoo)

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bDb6ICbhaAimkQRDHhrQhOhW9QgsyAdu/view?usp=sharing

Note that this currently doesn't update with mod selection.

Show adjusted AR/OD values when applying DT/HT mods (ppy/osu#24642 by @Givikap120)

Change mod select to focus the search box without pressing tab (ppy/osu#25756 by @bdach)

This feels like a better default for most users. Now, the serach box is focused by default so that you can type immediately after the overlay pops in. But it is also toggleable so that users who are accustomed to hotkeys can continue using hotkeys. As such the "classic" default for the setting is to not focus the search box.

For existing lazer users that want to use classic hotkeys, please adjust the new setting Automatically focus search text box in mod select.

Improve handling of beatmap collection changes in CollectionDropdown (ppy/osu#25575 by @frenzibyte)

Smaller changes

• Fix searching at song select matching incorrect ruleset (ppy/osu#25686 by @peppy)
  • Broke in the last release.
• Fix adjusted attributes tooltip not updating without mods (ppy/osu#25759 by @Givikap120)
• Fix AdjustedAttributesTooltip being broken by design (ppy/osu#25760 by @bdach)

• Ensure that SoloScoreInfo serialisation result does not contain interface members (ppy/osu#25703 by @bdach)
• Fix editor test not waiting for editor to load (ppy/osu#25741 by @smoogipoo)

Tournament

Add ban count option to round editor (ppy/osu#25598 by @rodrigopina360)

This idea came from this comment, which remembered me that indeed it's always assumed it's a single ban, even tho (even in OWC) having 2 bans per team further in the bracket is the norm. This change allows setting the ban count between 0 and 5, and also standardises the rotation order to what is used in most osu! tournaments.

UI

Add support for searching in dropdown menus (e.g. skins) (ppy/osu#25682 by @frenzibyte)

You can finally search for skins by name (and anything else in a dropdown)!

Editor

Allow opening editor timestamp URLs from modding discussions in browser (ppy/osu#25371 by @RatinFX)

Add free-hand drawing of sliders to the editor (ppy/osu#25409 by @Tom94)

Collab with @default0.

This allows free-hand drawing of a slider by clicking and dragging in the osu! editor. As a dependent addition, "B-Splines" curve support has been added as a new slider type that generalize Bezier curves. The new B-Spline slider type is used to represent / approximate the hand-drawn slider and exposes a couple of settings for manual control over how the curve is fit.

Gameplay (osu!catch)

Reimplement HP drain to match osu!stable (ppy/osu#25563 by @smoogipoo)

Main Menu

Add second level menu for editors (ppy/osu#25561 by @peppy)

As mentioned in discussion, while the skin editor has evolved to be really powerful, it's quite hidden from the user. To solve this, I've added a second level menu under the "Edit" button to house both editors.

Performance

Unload beatmap storyboards when not in main menu screen (ppy/osu#25400 by @frenzibyte)

This frees up resources that would otherwise be held ransom until returning to the menu.

Don't draw the game when the window is minimised (ppy/osu-framework#6052 by @Susko3)

This change reduces the CPU and GPU usage when the window is minimised.

Skinning

Fix default argon health bar width being zero (ppy/osu#25466 by @bdach)

Will fix:

• appearance of the health bar in toolbox
• size of the health bar when added from toolbox
• skins which had the default value of the width setting set

Fix argon health bar folding in on itself when too narrow (ppy/osu#25472 by @bdach)

Add ability to toggle labels on argon counter components (ppy/osu#25469 by @Joehuu)

Full Changelog: https://github.com/ppy/osu/compare/2023.1114.0...2023.1114.1

Code Quality

• Update country code names to match database (ppy/osu#25217 by @peppy)
• Fix some new nullable inspections (ppy/osu#25301 by @peppy)
• Improve log output surrounding score submission (ppy/osu#25300 by @peppy)

Editor

Fix editor not prompting before saving beatmap for export (ppy/osu#25223 by @peppy)

Fix various osu!catch distance snap grid breakage (ppy/osu#25240 by @bdach)

Fix slider velocity changes not being undone correctly (ppy/osu#25307 by @bdach)

Decouple metronome tick playback from pendulum movement (ppy/osu#25316 by @peppy)

I originally wanted the sounds to match the visuals, but it turns out that mappers want the sound to play immediately. So now it will always play, regardless of whether the pendulum passes the centre point or not.

Smaller changes

• Fix right clicks on timeline potentially not working as expected (ppy/osu#25304 by @peppy)
• Select text in beat divisor popover automatically (ppy/osu#23823 by @peppy)
• Automatically refresh the verify screen's issue list on re-entering it (ppy/osu#25376 by @peppy)
• Fix editor crash when creating a new difficulty in a non-existent beatmap (ppy/osu#25380 by @frenzibyte)

Framework

Fix releasing mouse buttons outside of window not working in relative mode (ppy/osu-framework#6036 by @Susko3)

Fix mouse not working as expected on iOS (ppy/osu-framework#6041 by @Susko3)

Smaller changes

• Disable retrieval of SDL display modes on non-desktop platforms (ppy/osu-framework#6032 by @frenzibyte)
• Correctly handle tablets which report mutliple pieces of information per report (ppy/osu-framework#6035 by @Susko3)

• Update framework (ppy/osu#25407 by @peppy)
• Add class for efficiently building B-Splines (ppy/osu-framework#6044 by @default0)

Gameplay

Enforce minimum gameplay sample volume of 5% (ppy/osu#25185 by @bdach)

osu!stable's sample volume floor is actually 8%, but it is enforced in what seem to be completely stupid ways (in the UI it's 5%, but actual playback takes place at minimum 8%). Since that seems weird and bad, and basically nobody seems to know about it (source: a brief discussion I had with the NAT today), and it seems there should be no harm in actually having the cap be 5% without weird gymnastics or lying to the users, that's what I ended up doing.

Add ability to quick retry using Ctrl-R (ppy/osu#25235 by @peppy)

Fix quick retry immediately after completion marking score as failed (ppy/osu#25264 by @bdach)

Allow argon's key counter display to be rotated while keeping text upright (ppy/osu#25349 by @Joehuu)

Smaller changes

• Exclude video events from being accounted for when calculating storyboard time bounds (ppy/osu#25269 by @bdach)
• Add "Argon" score digit textures (ppy/osu-resources#292 by @frenzibyte)
• Fix resume cursor changing clickable radius depending on cursor size setting (ppy/osu#25364 by @frenzibyte)
• Add more "Argon" counter symbols (ppy/osu-resources#295 by @frenzibyte)

Gameplay (osu!)

Fix repeat circles on sliders not correctly getting dimmed (ppy/osu#25221 by @peppy)

Before:

After:

Fix all spinner ticks being alive and causing performance degradation (ppy/osu#25333 by @peppy)

Continue to play spinner bonus sounds when MAX display occurs (ppy/osu#25343 by @peppy)

Fix osu! (slider) combo not matching expectations when classic mod is disabled (ppy/osu#25342 by @peppy)

Until now, the max combo of sliders has been lower than expected due to the tail not giving a combo. This has been fixed, so now max combo will match classic mod (and stable). This will make cross-comparisons much saner.

Implement basic touchscreen detection (ppy/osu#25348 by @bdach)

The "touch device" mod will now be shown when using touch input, both at song select and during gameplay.

Smaller changes

• Fix out-of-order judgements when missing a slider head (ppy/osu#25218 by @peppy)
  • Would sometimes lead to unstable total score calculations.

Gameplay (osu!mania)

Add support for "argon" default skin to expand columns when on mobile devices (ppy/osu#25336 by @peppy)

Should ease those looking to play the game on mobile until we (potentially) have a better solution in the future.

If this works out well, we can consider rolling it out to other skins.

Gameplay (osu!taiko)

Apply same changes to "argon" osu!taiko barline design that were applies to osu!mania (ppy/osu#25222 by @peppy)

Before	After

Import

Update the last played date of a beatmap when importing a replay by the local user (ppy/osu#25303 by @peppy)

With this change, importing beatmaps scores from stable will now choose a more correct "Last Played" date for beatmaps based on the most recent score imported. This also applies when importing one of your own scores at any point.

Main Menu

SFX improvements for ButtonSystem/MainMenu (ppy/osu#25395 by @nekodex)

Makes the main menu feel a bit more polished IMO while also reducing the ability to spike playback volume by spamming stuff.

Smaller changes

• Update samples for ButtonSystem/MainMenu (ppy/osu-resources#290 by @nekodex)

Mods

• Make FreezeFrame and Transform Incompatible (ppy/osu#25233 by @Termincc)
• Fix StopUsingBeatmapClock() applying adjustments to track it was supposed to stop using (ppy/osu#25253 by @bdach)
• Fix another potential crash in bubbles mod (ppy/osu#25334 by @peppy)

Overlays

Update user profile overlay to show more than one tournament banner (ppy/osu#25287 by @frenzibyte)

Add ability to view kudosu rankings (ppy/osu#25388 by @Joehuu)

Reliability

• Fix iOS AOT compilation failure due to SharpCompress library upgrade (ppy/osu#25236 by @peppy)
• Do not revert to default value when double-clicking disabled slider (ppy/osu#25230 by @bdach)
• Fix skin editor freezing game if opened during active gameplay (ppy/osu#25265 by @bdach)
• Update installer to latest release (ppy/osu#25385 by @peppy)

Settings

Automatically select existing search text when opening settings (ppy/osu#25286 by @frenzibyte)

Allows for a better search experience, as a user usually wants to find a new setting each time they come to the settings screen.

Add "disable taps during gameplay" to touch input settings and related UI (ppy/osu#25366 by @Susko3)

This fixes the previous "disable clicks" toggle from also affecting touch input.

Smaller changes

• Show touch input settings on mobile (ppy/osu#25399 by @Susko3)

Skin Editor

Add skin editor context menu items to reset rotation and scale (ppy/osu#25375 by @peppy)

Fix skin editor not clearing undo history on skin change (ppy/osu#25406 by @bdach)

Add "export" item to skin editor menu (ppy/osu#25408 by @peppy)

Add support for adjusting size of skin elements (ppy/osu#25402 by @peppy)

Dragging a skin elements from an edge will now adjust size, not scale. This allows resizing elements which support it without stretching them (which looked really bad).

Support is limited for now, but we can easily roll this out to more components in the future.

Before	After

Skinning

Add "player name" skin component (ppy/osu#25374 by @peppy)

Persist the state of "show speed changes" between editor sessions (ppy/osu#25153 by @peppy)

Add beat snap grid to osu!taiko editor (ppy/osu#25154 by @peppy)

Framework

https://github.com/ppy/osu-framework/assets/191335/560b8924-f5d5-4cc9-b3f1-1bc5e8dbb7b0

Fix some beatmap videos no longer rendering (ppy/osu-framework#6024 by @FreezyLemon)

MPEG-4 Part 2 is a video coding standard that sits "between" H.262 and H.264. Xvid, DivX and some less known formats implement it.

Smaller changes

• Bring back shader workaround to fix blur on iOS (ppy/osu-framework#6031 by @frenzibyte)
• Throw exception when pushing a screen at OnExiting without blocking (ppy/osu-framework#6033 by @hwabis)

Gameplay

Fix argon health bar not completing flash animation correctly (ppy/osu#25074 by @peppy)

Noticed this while doing some work around the health bar. The flash just wasn't playing due to an oversight in the miss-finish-animation logic. I've also adjusted the flash a bit.

Show results immediately if user hits "back" key after finishing gameplay (ppy/osu#25097 by @peppy)

I've gone ahead and matched the osu!stable behaviour for this, as it seems like it's what people are used to and they will settle for no less.

Smaller changes

• Fix legacy score calculators using incorrect mod multipliers (ppy/osu#24988 by @smoogipoo)
• Fix multiplayer not correctly pausing the track on initialisation (ppy/osu#25079 by @peppy)
  • This resolves crashes experience in the last release (before the hotfix).
• Fix default preview point being incorrect on old beatmaps (ppy/osu#25083 by @peppy)
• Fix health bar animating startup sequence when it shouldn't be (ppy/osu#25136 by @peppy)
• Fix incorrect volume on some beatmaps (ppy/osu#25179 by @bdach)

Gameplay (osu!)

Adjust slider repeat animation on legacy skins to closer match stable (ppy/osu#25160 by @bdach)

Add an "Adjust pitch" switch to DT/HT (ppy/osu#24640 by @Givikap120)

Adjust slider ends to be more lenient during very fast sliders (ppy/osu#24966 by @peppy)

On very fast sliders, you now only need to be tracking somewhere in the last 36ms, rather than precisely at the (hidden) position of the last tick.

######### Miss

######### Valid hits

Fix circle scale not matching stable due to missing multiplier (ppy/osu#25167 by @peppy)

This fixes some replays incorrectly having misses due to a floating-point scale mismatch.

Change spinner score display to show when reaching max bonus score (ppy/osu#25177 by @peppy)

Fix spinner cheese by accounting for spin directionality (ppy/osu#25157 by @peppy)

You now need to spin in one direction for a full spin in order to increment the total spin count.

Smaller changes

• Adjust approach circle maximum size limits for backwards compatibility (ppy/osu#25067 by @bdach)
• Apply a few more object sizing limits (ppy/osu#25110 by @peppy)
• Fix spinner ticks not playing samples correctly sometimes (ppy/osu#25216 by @bdach)
  • This was probably revealed by the lowering of the spinner cap, which made the ticks more spread out and made this issue more likely to occur.

Gameplay (osu!catch)

Adjust legacy skin catcher sizing to match 1:1 with osu!(stable) (ppy/osu#25070 by @frenzibyte)

Overall, here are visual cross-comparisons of the catcher's display between lazer and stable:

Smaller changes

• Fix "Hard Rock" mod affecting CS/AR in osu!mania and osu!taiko (ppy/osu#25101 by @peppy)
  • Not sure if there are other exceptions we should account for here. This is mostly fixing this for visual purposes. We'd probably want to hide these stats in the mod select screen at some point if they are not relevant to a ruleset.
• Remove drag handles from manage collections dialog for now (ppy/osu#25140 by @peppy)
  • The realm implementation doesn't support this. May come back at a future date, but this matches stable so it's not a huge deal.
• Fix collections not being sorted alphabetically in context menus (ppy/osu#25139 by @peppy)
  • As mentioned in https://github.com/ppy/osu/issues/21602#issuecomment-1762892636.

Testing

• Remove test scene background stack and use new ChangeBackgroundColour (ppy/osu#25082 by @peppy)
• Fix key binding panel test failures from introducing placeholder text (ppy/osu#25115 by @bdach)

Tooling

• Fix + improve diffcalc command for comment-based execution (ppy/osu#25159 by @smoogipoo)
  • The biggest change here is to use actions-cool/check-user-permission to check permissions. My intention is for only those with write permissions to this repo to be able to run the action via commenting !diffcalc.

The text at the top of the workflow details how to use this.

A second, somewhat important change is to run the timeout job on the self-hosted runner, since it has different usage limits to the GH runners. This was missed in my initial implementation, but the limits are appropriate for self-hosted runners.

• Fix invalid PR URL in diffcalc GitHub action (ppy/osu#25169 by @smoogipoo)

Gameplay

Add maximum dimensions limit to skinnable gameplay elements (ppy/osu#24706 by @frenzibyte)

This applies to osu! hit circles, taiko hits (drum rolls are already limited), and catch hit objects (fruits, bananas, and droplets). Mania is not included as I'm not even sure how to go about it (if I should).

Update classic scoring formula to closer match stable score V1 (ppy/osu#24924 by @bdach)

Lots of complex match, now classic scoring matches better than ever.

Implement redesigned health bar display for "Argon" skin (ppy/osu#24980 by @frenzibyte)

Smaller changes

• Split legacy scoring attributes into their own table (ppy/osu#24779 by @smoogipoo)
• Fix skin version being incorrectly set to 1.0 when skin is missing skin.ini (ppy/osu#24942 by @peppy)
• Add GetDisplayScore() extension for SoloScoreInfo (ppy/osu#24957 by @bdach)
• Adjust gameplay element maximum size limits for backwards compatibility (ppy/osu#25023 by @bdach)
• Adjust argon health bar to fit with existing layout (ppy/osu#25030 by @peppy)
• Add initial animation for health bars (ppy/osu#24986 by @peppy)
  • Pretty jank and I'm not sure how to make better, or how to get it matching stable. Probably need to make a subcomponent which is operating in game time to track the interpolation correctly. Main goal was to breathe some life back into things, so maybe this is fine as a first step.

Gameplay (osu!)

Cap maximum spinner RPM based on OD (ppy/osu#24932 by @smoogipoo)

The RPM required to clear spinners (i.e. minimum RPM) is unchanged from stable and the previous implementation:

OD	RPM
0	90
5	150
10	225

With this PR, the RPM required to complete spinners becomes:

OD	RPM
0	250
5	380
10	430

To come to these values, I've taken a mix of:

• Watching players I could find on YouTube, trying to take a healthy mix of all skill levels.
• My personal experience as what I would consider an "advanced" player but someone that has never cared about getting full score on spinners.
• Spinning through a remote desktop connection + mouse. This artifically lowers my skill.

My (rough, biased, not rooted in absolute fact) observations from this are:

• New players tend to range around 200-280 RPM.
• Intermediate players tend to range around 250-320 RPM.
• Advanced players tend to range around 320-380 RPM.
• Expert players tend to sit comfortably around 450 RPM.
• Even top players - those that are considered good at the game, tend to sit in the 300-400 RPM range

Keep in mind, however, that:

• OD is skewed upwards such that it is more typical for even new players to see ODs >= 4. Those at the advanced level, for example, are usually going to see at least OD >= 7 (~405 RPM) which should still give them a bit of a challenge (at least they'll need to try).
• Once you reach 6*, which is not considered hard these days, it's rare to see OD < 8.
• RPM isn't consistent - there's ramp-up time whether caused by acceleration (stable) or by the player realising they need to start spinning.

Reduce approach circle's final opacity to match stable (ppy/osu#24964 by @peppy)

I've also fixed multiple inconsistencies when compared to stable, including disabling beat sync and having the animation start as soon as the hit object appears. This helps massively with visibility, as otherwise the animation may not start until much later. It also looks better as every slider is not longer synchronised to the same animation cycle.

Smaller changes

• Fix game crash when using "Bubbles" mod on a beatmap with no hit circles (ppy/osu#24889 by @Fabiano1337)
• Add repeat-edge-piece texture for argon sliders (ppy/osu-resources#287 by @peppy)
• Fix spinner requirements being susceptible to FP precision (ppy/osu#25006 by @smoogipoo)

Gameplay (osu!mania)

Adjust osu!mania "major" barlines to be less visually distracting (ppy/osu#24930 by @peppy)

Applies to both "triangles" and "argon" skins.

Before	After

Gameplay (osu!taiko)

Allow judging at most one swell tick per frame (ppy/osu#25010 by @bdach)

This changes swell input handling such that only one swell tick can be judged in a given update frame. This is supposed to curtail cases wherein a user binds (either in-game, or via external tools) all four taiko actions to one key, to knock out four hits at a time with one key.

Performance

• Improve TriangleBorder shader (ppy/osu-resources#286 by @EVAST9919)

Reliability

• Fix WaveformComparisonDisplay potentially crashing on invalid track length (ppy/osu#25016 by @peppy)
  • As seen at https://github.com/ppy/osu/runs/17415814918#r0s2.
• Fix OAuth refresh attempt when no network available causing full logout (part 2) (ppy/osu#25029 by @peppy)

Skinning

• Crop oversized gameplay textures instead of downscaling them (ppy/osu#24975 by @frenzibyte)
  • • Resolves mainly the "incorrect glyph rendering" part of https://github.com/ppy/osu/issues/24973

This is a better approach to handle skins that have certain elements with extra empty space on all sides. Take this skin for example, observe the size of the hitcircle number elements:

The size is already larger than the specified maximum size for hit circles (128x128, which affects the glyph sprites). Cropping the texture from the centre fixes the issue. I've also refactored the max dimensions test scene to output upscaled textures all the way from the TextureLoaderStore for the visual test to be accurate.

Song Select

Reduce delay before loading beatmap after selection change at song select (ppy/osu#24929 by @peppy)

This was originally set high because of performance concerns. We have since improved things quite drastically. Even with a very low debounce my song select is amazingly smooth.

Storyboard

• Fix storyboard UseSkinSprites being implemented incorrectly (ppy/osu#24861 by @peppy)
  • This was implemented as a "fallback", but it's actually intended to be an "override". As in it allows storyboarders to prefer a skin sprite before falling back to a local version contained within the storyboard.

UI

Fix SR/BPM display showing no info in multiplayer playlist rooms (ppy/osu#24922 by @Fabiano1337)

Improve notification display when score import fails (ppy/osu#24928 by @peppy)

Before	After

Add the ability for mod icons to show extended information (ppy/osu#24954 by @peppy)

A remaining usability concern was players adjusting the rate of DT/HT, but this information being hidden when perusing leaderboards. We've changed how mod icons look to allow exposing this information when required.

Smaller changes

• Add missing locales mapping in crowdin.yml (ppy/osu-resources#282 by @agatemosu)
• Add mod icon resources (ppy/osu-resources#285 by @peppy)
• Display mod icons using stable (consistent, not osu!stable) ordering (ppy/osu#24955 by @peppy)
• Also flash "discard changes" dialog popup when force quitting room/playlist creation with changes (ppy/osu#24962 by @Joehuu)
• Update translations (ppy/osu-resources#284 by @peppy)
  • Includes fixes for several languages that had the wrong country code mapping causing translations to not actually display.
• Add legacy ranking texture (ppy/osu-resources#274 by @nanashi-1)
