Dossier 0.97.0 – Pre-release №23

Duels arrive in Community, with a balance desk for the people who keep the map pools fair and Kamerton, the model that sorts maps into slots. Version 0.90.0 and newer can update automatically.

Added

• Duels in Community: rating, wins and losses, finding an opponent, answering offers and challenges, and a live list of everyone's running and just finished duels. A challenge from a player's profile is always friendly.
• A duel plays out in the app from the room to the result: a meeting screen before every duel, the pool settling into focus, bans and picks confirmed by holding a card, the picked map growing into the round, and a result that counts from the final score to the rating change. Others can watch a running duel live.
• Resting the cursor on a map card plays its preview; the card pulses to the song's tempo and the preview fades out at its end. Taken maps stay quiet, and the tiebreaker is darkened in the draft.
• A balance desk for reviewers with a queue of maps to check, labelling of tournament pools, the OWC table, a catalogue of maps by slot and star range, stuck duels, a journal of decisions and the people who hold each role.
• Kamerton, the slot model, is trained from the desk on tournament pools, reviewers' own tournaments and queue decisions. Each version is checked against every OWC year held out in turn, and can be published, rolled back or deleted. Kamerton reads each map unmodded and through its DT and HR views, and also learns the slots duels do not use yet, such as FM1–FM4 or NM5.
• Queue maps show CS, AR, OD, HP and length with their slot's mods, Kamerton's reasons with how far the map sits from usual, and what players said about the map. After No, the reviewer picks the slot the map really is.
• Local scores can be sent without Witness; only the player's own scores are sent.

Changed

• The score card is built around the chat table, lists best plays as rows and shows the mapper's face.
• The balance desk scales with the window on large screens, and its reasons are optional; deleting a model version or cancelling a duel asks for a second press.
• Balance roles are given by osu! id or name and can be taken back.
• The project is licensed under MIT.

Fixed

• Map previews play with any ffmpeg the app finds, try a second mirror, and say when no preview exists.
• Mappers' avatars, animated ones included, load on map cards instead of showing an initial.
• The header logo no longer flashes over the splash screen at launch.
• Balance appears in Community without opening Duels first.

Verification

• GPU (wgpu/Metal) previews cover the duel motions, the queue, the model, people, catalogue and OWC tabs at 980, 1600 and 1920 pixels wide.
• Regression tests cover hold-to-pick, queue decisions, slot moves, model version handling, role grants, previews and avatar decoding.

Known limitations

• Duels need the matching server update with Bancho access; until it is deployed, the duel and balance sections stay empty.
• osu!mania maps converted from osu!standard do not yet have stars, PP or a rendered scene.
• Witness remains disabled pending resolution of client-integration restrictions.
