Gameplay (osu!)

Increase slider tails' score to 150 points (up from 30) (#26248 by @smoogipoo)

@Bubbleman532, @Zyfarok, and others in the community have mentioned that the changes to sliders (tails not affecting the slider's main judgement, because that judgement is now on the head) have made tails not worth as much anymore, and removes the need to aim sliders on higher SR maps that very rarely have any ticks in sliders.

This PR makes tails worth 150 points, compared to the 30 points of a normal tick.

Stored status is reset on logout, so that it doesn't persist across multiple users logging in on one machine.

Performance

Set process priority of game window to high when focused (ppy/osu-framework#6104 by @peppy)

This is something we do on osu!stable and has large gains (for some users) on desktop systems, especially when shared with other heavy applications.

  • Fixes issue that occurs on about 245 beatmaps[^1] and was first described by me on discord and then rediscovered again during work on #26405.

Song Select

Improve speed of beatmap carousel load when scrolling (#26385 by @peppy)

The preload numbers are still on the conservative side. We can probably adjust these based on the system the game is running on in the future. Or across the board. But this should improve the overall responsiveness of carousel loading, something that's been bugging me for quite a while now (and not just me)

Smaller changes

• Fix mod score multiplier rounding to 1.00x with specific mod combinations (#26140 by @CaffeeLake)
• Remove scores from song select leaderboard when leaving the screen (#26410 by @peppy)

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 "Windows Ink" events being handled as touch events (ppy/osu-framework#5309 by @Susko3)

  • Need some more time to test this out. As I kinda expected, it doesn't work well across the board.

  • 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.

Smaller changes

• Add new sprites for slider end / tick misses (ppy/osu-resources#300 by @peppy)

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

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.

main menu, top level	main menu, play submenu	main menu, edit submenu

settings	editor

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.

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.

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.

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.

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)

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.

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.

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.
