2024.519.0

Audio

Reduce startup volume (#28031 by @peppy)

Constant complaints about startup volume mean we should reduce it further and let users adjust as they see fit.

Values are from matching roughly with Apple Music volume of the same song, which should be a good guideline for not overpowering other things on system.

Smaller changes

• Fix preview tracks playing after their owning overlay has hidden (#27898 by @bdach)

Editor

Add a chevron to distinguish editor menus with submenus (#27974 by @peppy)

Before	After

Preserve storyboard events when saving a beatmap in the editor (#28033 by @peppy)

Until we have full encoding support for storyboards, this stop-gap measure ensures that storyboards don't just disappear from existence. Without this, saving a beatmap in the editor removes all local storyboard content (ie. anything in the .osu file). The most noticeable is any video background.

Smaller changes

• Improve performance in timing setup screen (#27958 by @EVAST9919)

• Add verify checks for incorrect audio formats (#27895 by @64ArthurAraujo)
• Fix deleting modified difficulty via editor leaving user in broken state (#27996 by @bdach)
  • If the difficulty being edited has unsaved changes, the editor exit flow would prompt for save after the deletion method has run. This is undesirable from a UX standpoint, and also leaves the user in a broken state.

Framework

Fix texture memory leak in Direct3D (ppy/osu-framework#6250 by @smoogipoo)

If you were seeing sluggish performance the longer the game was running (and potentially switched your renderer as a result), please give direct3d another chance!

Upgrade to SDL3 (#27815 by @Susko3)

Gameplay

Tweak resume overlay to allow better visibility of hit objects underneath (#28050 by @peppy)

This change decreases alpha as the count proceeds. It also adds an initial delay before the countdown starts, to make things feel a bit less jank when resuming gameplay. Had to restructure slightly to make that part work.

Don't hide playfield layer with HUD (#28062 by @peppy)

Touched on in #12039. I think this makes sense - things which are attached to the playfield are expected to always be attached and not disappear. Something like an osu!mania health bar.

This gives users a way to make elements always display (regardless of the HUD hide setting) which is also cool.

Improve storyboard performance by using native loop support (#27539 by @frenzibyte)

Smaller changes

• Fix storyboard videos not accepting transforms (#27967 by @peppy)
  • In stable, storyboard videos can actually accept all kinds of transforms just like other sprites. That wasn't working until now.

• Fix touches on judged circles changing cursor position (#28167 by @smoogipoo)

Gameplay (osu!catch)

Fix gameplay PP counter not matching results screen (#27808 by @smoogipoo)

Gameplay (osu!mania)

Add more usable osu!mania touch input system (#28173 by @peppy)

This takes smoogi's previous effort (#27790) and presents it in a state where it can be merged without skin configurability concerns. I've left the configurable settings in code for exposing in the future.

I've made changes to bring it more in line with how taiko's touch area system was implemented for conformity. The major change is that it no longer uses the presence of touch mod to decide whether to display (and can now be summoned using a mouse click or touch).

Do not change mania column width on mobile platforms (#28186 by @bdach)

With the new touch overlay, this doesn't make as much sense.

######## Changes

• (SDL3-CS) from namespace SDL2 & class SDL to namespace SDL & class SDL3 (made more sense as the functions are imported from SDL3.dll)
• (SDL3-CS) structs and enums now live in the namespace instead of being nested in the SDL3 class
• (SDL3-CS) pointer types are now proper pointers instead of IntPtr, which means more "unsafe" code
• (SDL3-CS) minor changes to return/struct types, reducing need for casts
• (SDL3-CS) simple function signature changes: from ref, in & out to pointers (unfortunate, but automatically generating these would be hell)
• (SDL3-CS) function that take strings now take ReadOnlySpan<byte>, requiring Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes() calls or UTF-8 string literals
• (SDL3-CS) function pointers instead of delegates in native callback functions
• simple renames done via SDL-provided build-scripits/rename_symbols.py
• migrations from the Migrating to SDL 3.0 guide
• minor update of SDL3ControllerBindings logic (basically per SDL3 migration guide)
• removal of borderless fullscreen on macOS and Linux (merged into fullscreen with SDL3)
• updated windowing logic to account for SDL_DisplayID instead of previously used display index
• osu!framework DisplayMode.RefreshRate changed from int to float
• SDL relative mouse mode instead of custom WindowsMouseHandler mouse logic
  including removal of custom tablet handling logic. SDL_pen.h would be the replacement for that, but it's currently only supported on Linux
• updated WindowsWindow to account for SDL_SYSWMEVENT removal
  has caused some minor regressions in IME handling (the new method isn't giving us all the expected messages)
• updated JetBrains.Annotations to latest version
• renamed SDL2 → SDL3

######## Issues

• IOpenGLGraphicsSurface.BackbufferFramebuffer used to return useful information on iOS
• waiting un upstream: libsdl-org/SDL#9430
• OpenGL probably won't work on iOS?
• minor IME regressions on windows
• releasing mouse button outside window with relative mouse mode causes next click to be ignored (SDL issue, it seems)
• (possible issue) non-OTD tablet input with relative mouse mode on windows (WindowsMouseHandler logic was removed)

######## Future work

• add full support for async raw mouse + keyboard on windows #6235
• look into windows IME regression...

Gameplay

Make flashlight scale with playfield (#26181 by @rushiiMachine)

When the playfield is shrunk with mods such as BarrelRoll, flashlight does not account for this, making it significantly easier to play. This makes it scale along with the playfield Scale.

Avoid stopping / starting gameplay when running behind but a replay isn't attached (#27504 by @peppy)

Should fix the underlying issue causing the backwards seeks during gameplay.

Add "Argon" performance points counter (#27498 by @frenzibyte)

Add new hitsounds for "argon" skin (ppy/osu-resources#311 by @nekodex)

My primary goal with this sampleset is to offer a fresh, modern take on stable/legacy's hitsounds that would work as a drop-in replacement for beatmaps that were created with stable/legacy's sampleset in mind.

I've used reverb and increased stereo width to make the hitsounds less 'in your face' than the stable/legacy ones, making them more pleasant to the ear IMO. To compensate for potential audibility loss, I've used increased transients (punchyness), greater frequency range (with distortion/saturation/etc) and in some cases a volume bump to get them sounding equally legible.

I also decided to shorten the samples (relative to stable/legacy) in response to modern beatmaps being of increased difficulty/hitobject-density compared to maps from back when peppy created the stable/legacy sampleset.

In theory this allows for new players to progress further through harder maps before feeling the need to find an alternative skin/sampleset to hear what they're doing accurately - at which point, there's now conveniently also argon pro.

The sampleset does diverge a bit in some aspects (i.e. spinner sounds, fail sound, etc) to lean into lazer's aesthetic, but otherwise I hope the hitsounds should still be recognizable as some facsimile of their stable/legacy counterparts and hopefully still feel and play just as good (if not better) than stable/legacy did.

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.
