2023.924.0

Thank you for showing interest in this ruleset. This is a tagged release (2023.924.0).

This release resolves a major incompatibility that could occur on the 2023.924.0 release of osu!lazer

What's Changed

• 🌟🌟 Implement revamped beatmap converter by @LumpBloom7 in #481

  • This is a complete rewrite of how std beatmaps are converted, with the end result being more dependent on the original std map, rather than RNG from a fixed set of patterns.

    • ❗ This is the default converter since it generates more playable maps. The old converter can be re-enabled via the experimental mod

  • Streams, jumps, and stacks from the original std beatmap will be better represented

  • Slide notes are more frequent, dropping the HitWhistle requirement

  • maimaiDX slide chains could show up in converted beatmaps now

    • The option to disable this will arrive in Classic mod in the future.

    • Imagine seeing something like this in converted maps

  • ❗ Touch notes have been excluded from conversions for now

    • I don't have any good ideas on how to include them without making gameplay feel like crap
    • If anyone has any ideas on a conversion rule/heuristic for Touch notes, please reach out to me so we can give it a shot.

  • ❗ The twin experiments are not applicable to this new converter, and will have no effect.

  • For more specifics, check out this pull request

  • For a video demonstration of the converter, here's some gameplay footage I made

• 🌟 Implement EX notes by @LumpBloom7 in #483
  • These are notes that provide an "all or nothing judgement". Any non-miss judgements will be treated as a perfect hit, allowing for mappers to make complex patterns, while not raising difficulty too much.
  • These notes are indicated with a glow around the notes, rather than a drop shadow

Tap	Hold	Slide

• 🌟 Implement Relax Mod by @LumpBloom7
  • Simply converts all notes to have the EX modifier, reducing difficulty greatly.
• 🌟 Slight touch note redesign by @LumpBloom7

Before	After

• 🌟 Revamped HardRock mod by @LumpBloom7 in #487
  • maimai judgement modes (Maji/Gati) is now used instead of the previous "half-hitwindow" approach
    • A choice between Maji and Gati judgement modes can be made in mod configuration
  • Minimum HitResult (or Gori) has been implemented as a separate option, allowing a more flexible combination of difficulty options
    • For reference, maimai would use Gati hitwindows when Gori is enabled, but now you can choose which hitwindows to use with the minimum HitResult option (including the default windows)

• 🌟 Refresh Judgement chart design by @LumpBloom7 in #478
  • Been in a stale branch for ages, so I cleaned it up so it can see the light of day.
  • Also comes with detailed stats on hover

Before	After

• Refactor AnimationSpeed related stuff by @LumpBloom7 in #484

  • Animation speed during WindUp/WindDown/AdaptiveSpeed should remain consistent to what the player set
  • HitAnimations and Judgements now also compensate for game speed differences
  • Players can also adjust lane animation speed using the global scroll speed bindings

• Normalise difficulty-based ring colors by @LumpBloom7 in #477

  • Should help keep the ring visible on higher difficulties and background dim is set to 0

• Ignore Touch hit attempts before the early Perfect window by @LumpBloom7 in #472'

  • This makes it less likely that you accidentally hit it too early, making it feel bad to play. (The early window is huge)

• Merge circle slide segments with the same direction when chaining them by @LumpBloom7 in #475

  • Removes a gap that occurs when chaining circle slide segments

• Fix valid slide part list being corrupted when using mirror mod by @LumpBloom7 in #476

  • Mirror mod no longer silently alter all future beatmap conversions

• Bump Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk from 17.6.1 to 17.7.2 by @dependabot in #486

• Bump ppy.osu.Game from 2023.605.0 to 2023.924.0 by @dependabot in #493

• New Crowdin updates by @LumpBloom7 in #494
