Editor

Add visual offset to better align editor waveforms with expectations (#26136 by @peppy)

In preparation for locking in better audio constants in lazer, let's fix the editor waveform looking completely misaligned.

This adds a visual-only offset to better align the editor waveform (in the timeline and on the timing screen) with osu! community expectations. With this change, visual-based timing is feasible, and assuming done correctly, should be accurate within 2 ms.

Fix editor timing mode not handling undo/redo correctly (#26141 by @peppy)

When undoing, selection would be lost, and (kind of as a result) the controls on the right of the screen would enter a detached state where they don't update correctly. Quite annoying when you're making changes.

Framework

Fix audio being initialised more than once unnecessarily (ppy/osu-framework#6090 by @peppy)

Bump OpenTabletDriver to 0.6.4.0 (ppy/osu-framework#6086 by @X9VoiD)

Gameplay

  • Bail from score submission if audio playback rate is too far from reality (#26138 by @peppy)
    • Handles cases where audio drivers aren't working as expected.

Gameplay (osu!)

Add new mod "Depth" (#25653 by @EVAST9919)

Update argon and triangles slider tick/end miss to match display style (#26120 by @peppy)

Add classic skin sprites for slider tick and slider end misses (#26117 by @peppy)

A lot of complaints asking for disable on the new elements. Mostly because it was confusing to just downscale the normal miss.

Now they get their own sprites. And as a result it's skinnable for the people that are really adverse to change. You can skin via slidertickmiss@2x.png and sliderendmiss@2x.png.

Fix spinner max bonus sound playing when seeking in replay (#26170 by @rushiiMachine)

Force minimum cursor size for click-to-resume screen (#26148 by @rushiiMachine)

On cursor sizes below 0.3x it becomes exceedingly difficult to quickly locate and then accurately click the resume cursor on the pause overlay as it could as big as a handful of pixels. In the event the cursor aligns somewhere on top of or close to the text, it becomes nearly impossible to find it as it's even the same color.

This clamps the minimum cursor size to 1x for the resume overlay, which is way more comfortable and less likely to cause the player to miss afterwards (note that not the entire cursor aura is interactable, only about 2/3s) and more closely resembles stable.

Gameplay (osu!catch)

Fix catch objects not being clamped to playfield bounds (#26158 by @bdach)

Gameplay (osu!mania)

Make mania scroll speed independent of hit position (#26131 by @smoogipoo)

This fixes skins using a custom "HitPosition" having incorrect scroll speed.

Main Menu

Add support for displaying online images on main menu (#26172 by @bdach)

osu_2023-12-27_23-29-31

Move menu tips to main menu (#26182 by @peppy)

Show supporter love message at main menu and remove the disclaimer screen (#26183 by @peppy)

Goodbye disclaimer screen!

Settings

Always show settings section text on buttons (#26147 by @peppy)

Was really annoying to decode the icons quickly. Now text always shows.

Implement automatic suggestion of global audio offset based on last plays (#26169 by @bdach)

This control takes the place of the existing audio offset slider in game settings.

This is supposed to be a crude something to be in place by next year while the work on the real "offset wizard" can be postponed just a little bit longer.

Song Select

Fix rewind sometimes incorrectly selecting the same beatmap (#26127 by @ntransw)

Cycle between Daycore and Half Time mod when using classic hotkeys style (#26162 by @Gabixel)

Fix song select leaderboard tab ordering not matching stable (#26177 by @peppy)

All editorial decisions ("why is this variant of the icon used?" "why are the icons smaller / have more padding?") are either mine alone or/and were made in line with feedback from @peppy.

All traces of hexacons have been erased. May they rest well. Note that this also affects overlay headers since they are weirdly conjoined to toolbar icons for whatever reason. But I think it's fine.

Toolbar design iteration (#26168 by @peppy)

Takes some inspiration from flyte's newer designs but also makes some changes I feel works well. Iterative and not final.

Update popup dialog design (#26187 by @peppy)

Had to be done. I got irked every time these came up.

As usual, disclaimer that this is an iterative design and will probably be replaced in the future.

Gameplay

Add control to allow changing offset from gameplay (#26076 by @peppy)

This behaves how you'd expect it to coming from stable. It's intended to be a very quick implementation just to get the functionality back, and will improve in the future. Controls are configurable but default to +/-.

Smaller changes

  • Change "cinema" mod to never fail (#26080 by @peppy)
  • Fix standardised score conversion failing for scores set with 0.0x mod mutliplier (#26082 by @bdach)

Gameplay (osu!)

Replace recently-added HP drain density calculation with combo-end bonus (#26083 by @smoogipoo)

When maps have very consistent density, HP drain is as harsh as it can get to the point that it feels like if you miss a note you can never regain HP.

I don't know how to maths enough to fix this just from just the hp increase / hp drain side of things, so I'm taking another approach by adding combo-end bonuses similar to stable.

Stable gives one of three bonuses at the time combo:

  • "Geki" if every object was hit with a 300.
  • "Katu" if every object was hit with 100 or above.
  • "Mu" if any object was hit with 50 or below.

Online

Fix "spectate" button not always being clickable in online users list (#26081 by @peppy)

Smaller changes

  • Fix user profile cover showing 1px line when contracted (#26077 by @peppy)

Performance

  • Fix hovering a toolbar button while running an import or reprocess potentially causing a stutter (#26086 by @peppy)

Reliability

  • Fix hard crash when attempting to change folder location during a large import (#26072 by @peppy)

Skinning

Change version checks to account for users specifying incorrect skin versions (#26069 by @peppy)

Some skins have been reported to use versions like "1.5", expecting "2.0" behaviour. So now anything above "1.0" defaults to "2.0" behaviour.

Song Select

Adjust BeatmapInfoWedge's beatmap length field according to mod rate (#26060 by @jeenyuhs)

I noticed the displayed length of the beatmap didn't change according to the change in rate (BPM does). These changes makes the beatmap length in BeatmapInfoWedge refresh the same time as BPM according to the mods rate.

Fix argon pro not showing slider tick judgements (#25972 by @bdach)

Fix slider tick / end misses displaying with full size on legacy skins with animated misses (#26003 by @bdach)

Yes we have heard feedback that some don't like this or want to skin it. But a lot of that may be because it was incorrectly sized too large on some skins.

We'll provide a better visual experience for this, but it's already in a pretty good place on "argon" skins so please give that a try if in doubt. We'd want a similarly unobtrusive display for classic skins.

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

Gameplay

Adjust "classic" mod multiplier back up to 0.96x (#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 (#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 (#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 (#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 (#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 (#25945 by @smoogipoo)

See feedback here and here

Gameplay (osu!taiko)

Restore taiko accuracy to ScoreV2 values (#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 (#25931 by @peppy)

Song Select

Update song select to always show difficulty stats (#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 (#25900 by @peppy)

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

CleanShot 2023-12-19 at 11 00 48

Fix song select running updates when screen is not active (#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 (#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.

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.

Change default slider velocity for new beatmaps to match osu!stable (#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.

Mod Old New
Half Time 0.7x 0.3x

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 (#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.

Gameplay (osu!)

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

Modify osu! standardised scoring to introduce a combo exponent (#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 (#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 (#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: #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 (#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.

For those wishing to delve deeper into this change, please check the technical descriptions (and videos) in the pull request

Fix several issues with osu!catch beatmap conversion (#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.
