Fix beatmap offsets not being applied correctly to extreme rate changes (#27243 by @myQwil)

Gameplay (osu!)

Fix classic skins incorrectly applying scaling factor to approch circles (#27286 by @peppy)

In triangles and argon, we expanded hitcircles to take up the full 128 px which are clickable, but still use the old approach circle sprite. To make it feel correct (ie. disappear as it collides with the hitcircle, not when it overlaps the border) we need to expand it slightly.

Note that this fix only affects classic/legacy skins.

Before	After

Fix classic skin follow circles animating from incorrect starting point (#27288 by @peppy)

Performance

• Reduce osu editor allocations with many objects selected (#27249 by @EVAST9919)
• Reduce mania editor allocations with many objects selected (#27275 by @EVAST9919)
• Apply padding to GridContainers directly where possible (#27278 by @EVAST9919)

Settings

Remove Veldrid OpenGL renderer, always use (legacy) GLRenderer (ppy/osu-framework#6193 by @smoogipoo)

Spurred by people using this renderer, likely because "legacy" has a bad connotation associated with it (e.g. https://discord.com/channels/188630481301012481/1097318920991559880/1209220240383418438).

This forces GLRenderer ("legacy") to be used even when the OpenGL renderer type is selected.

Platform

Suggest to update only if the latest release is available for the current platform (#26930 by @Susko3)

We've had few releases lately where mobile isn't working / is crashing, so the mobile release was pulled. Unfortunately, the game would still send an update notification, leading to many people opening issues about the update not being available for their platform.

This fixes that.

Gameplay

Fix background dim occasionally getting in a bad state when exiting gameplay (#26544 by @peppy)

Fix holding keys before gameplay starts resulting in incorrect input (ppy/osu-framework#6101 by @frenzibyte)

Fade hold-for-menu button out completely on non-touch devices (#26542 by @peppy)

Simplify gameplay pause sequence (#26605 by @peppy)

This removes the frequency ramp on pausing. This was something I was personally behind implementing and working to keep around, but nuking in favour of simplifying the process for now. In discussing with nekodex we both agree there is a better way forward than this.

This lays groundwork for doing other things, like allowing seeking during replay pause, and changing the way offsets work without worrying about the weird application considerations from the pause ramp effect.

Fix gameplay elements not correctly offsetting to avoid per-ruleset skin layout (#26609 by @peppy)

Change S rank to require no miss (#26630 by @peppy)

This is a change for osu!/osu!taiko to match stable. It's not final. We're just giving people what they are used to for now. If you're about to comment about how you disagree with this, then please make sure to search first and contribute to an existing conversation.

Gameplay (osu!)

Fix flashlight not dimming if slider head is hit early (#26576 by @bdach)

Fix cursor scale animation not matching stable on classic skins (#26567 by @peppy)

Adjust slider tick / end miss animations to be shorter (#26668 by @peppy)

There's still a lot of feedback that these are noisy and get in the way. As a recap, you can already skin these out using sliderendmiss and sliderendtick, but adding these in a classic skin is a bit of a pain in the ass, so I want to make the defaults usable for most users.

We'll continue to iterate based on feedback!

Adjust slider tick / end miss visuals to be less noisy (#26703 by @peppy)

More subtle, less noisy, but still should describe the misses quite well.

I toyed with bringing across the stable behaviour of ticks not fading out but people preferred this direction, so let's stick with it.

Smaller changes

• Fix pop-in scale transition in resume overlay affecting input area (#26545 by @frenzibyte)
• Fix touch device not always activating when it should (#26575 by @bdach)
• Adjust legacy slider misses to be smaller again (ppy/osu-resources#304 by @peppy)
  • People are still complaining so I want to first try to make them more subtle.

Fix key overlay not showing special key in the right place (#26589 by @peppy)

Gameplay (osu!taiko)

Fix taiko maps containing only drum rolls / swells not being passable without mods (#26578 by @bdach)

Change the input drum width to be consistent across all skins (#26632 by @frenzibyte)

Up until now, the input drum width was variable per skin, which results in the overall gameplay width changing based on skin. This has been discussed to be quite bad and must not be the case (see discord).

The constant width for the input drum has been defined to be 180px, visually matching osu!stable on classic skin. Default skins have been altered slightly to respect that width (basically set its height with respect to width rather than the opposite).

Change hit target position in osu!taiko to always match stable (#26634 by @frenzibyte)

Move osu!taiko playfield down a nudge to match stable visually (#26635 by @frenzibyte)

This fixes some beatmaps using very precise slider velocities to create a speed ramp from looking too "jumpy".

Fix osu!taiko's scroll speed not matching stable expectations (#26781 by @frenzibyte)

This finally brings osu!taiko in line with scroll speed on stable, even when "classic" mod is not applied.

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.

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.

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)

2023.1229.0

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.

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

This fixes some tablet devices incorrectly enabling the "touch device" mod.

• Add basic global statistics for input handler events (ppy/osu-framework#6087 by @Susko3)

  • Need some more time to test this out. As I kinda expected, it doesn't work well across the board.
• Update framework (#26159 by @peppy)

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.

Smaller changes

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

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)

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)

Smaller changes

• Do not attempt to stop preview tracks when arriving from a "track completed" sync (#26124 by @bdach)

Spectator

Allow entering spectator mode from context menu on user panels (#26184 by @peppy)

Fix using "Back" binding at spectator fail screen not working (#26189 by @peppy)

UI

Update icons game-wide (#26167 by @bdach)

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.

Smaller changes

• Add new icon assets (ppy/osu-resources#301 by @bdach)

2023.1224.0

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)

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.
