Fix slider tick / end misses displaying with full size on legacy skins with animated misses (#26003 by @bdach)

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.

Fix near zero-length sliders being placeable and crashing the game (#25916 by @OliBomby)

Gameplay

Adjust "classic" mod multiplier back up to 0.96x (#25934 by @peppy)

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)

Show slider tick / slider end misses with a visible judgement (#25951 by @peppy)

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.

Adjust mania scoring to be more in line with ScoreV2 + 85% acc / 15% combo (#25945 by @smoogipoo)

See feedback here and here

Gameplay (osu!taiko)

Restore taiko accuracy to ScoreV2 values (#25887 by @smoogipoo)

"Good"s are now worth 150 instead of 100, bringing things in line with osu!(stable) and TnT.

Reliability

• Fix thread safety of OnlineMetadataClient.UserStates (#25931 by @peppy)

Song Select

Update song select to always show difficulty stats (#25898 by @peppy)

We have a larger redesign planned, but let's just get this in so people can easily see both leaderboards and beatmap stats.

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.

This is quite an unfortunate one, but I can't see a good way of fixing beyond undoing most of the performance gains from the last major release when certain sort modes (like difficulty sort) are used.

If you have a large library and want best search performance, use a simple sort mode for now (ie. artist or title). We'll iterate on this once things calm down.

There may be others we want to adjust. Note that these are basically placeholder safe values (lower is better) so we can allow these scores on the leaderboard without people complaining about unfairness... unless they are complaining the multiplier is too low (which is fine for now).

Show back button when spectating (#25770 by @peppy)

Gameplay (osu!)

Implement Argon's spinner progress glow (#25562 by @EVAST9919)

Modify osu! standardised scoring to introduce a combo exponent (#24166 by @Zyfarok)

In osu! with ScoreV1 and ScoreV2, the cost of a miss was growing fast (quadratically) with the surrounding combos. This implied that a single miss could completely ruin the score of a play and cost up to 350k in ScoreV2.

To reduce this effect, a combo exponent of 0.5 was introduced. This effectively reduces the miss-penalty at high combos while keeping it high at low combos, in a similar spirit as how combo is capped in taiko or catch but without any hard-cap.

This combo exponent change is introduced together with a complete re-balance of the Combo/Accuracy split based on user feedback. Note that the new formula will imply higher scores overall and might require a bit of time getting used to. A table showing the effects of the new formula is available at here

Allow sliders to track if hit early (#25748 by @smoogipoo)

Smaller changes

• Add spinner glow resources (ppy/osu-resources#298 by @EVAST9919)
• Make osu! ruleset once again use the lazer default HP drain (#25797 by @smoogipoo)
  • Playing around since the re-introduction of osu!stable's HP drain mechanics, I've become uncertain about using the osu!stable drain by default since it doesn't quite match the "feel" of osu!stable.

Most of my issues appear at higher HP drain rates, but with HR even on old maps the minimum is usually HP 8.4, which falls into the problematic region. I believe the difference is mostly where the judgements are placed - in osu!stable sliders have a big judgement at the end (300 + tick), whereas in lazer they have a medium-high judgement at the start (300) and a small judgement at the end (tick).
The raw HP drain rate seems to be quite similar, and if anything osu!stable should be harsher on the cases I've found.

I've also attempted to make lazer stable better, but I haven't been able to get it "just right".

There are others that have wanted the old algorithm back, which pretty much echo what I've said above: #25631

So... This PR moves the osu!stable algorithm to the classic mod.

Here's a replay demonstrating this: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-AEIhaVF2YfXVR9GYc8UFAnV7zfFFHvA/view?usp=sharing
Note that osu!stable will play with V1 mechanics, but V1 and V2 feel about the same (just accuracy is slightly worse on V2).

• Allow sliders to track if hit late (#25776 by @smoogipoo)
  • This allows slider heads to be hit late. In basic terms, this means that as long as your cursor is in the right position to hit ticks / repeats at the point of hitting the slider head late, they will now be hits instead of misses.

Fix several issues with osu!catch beatmap conversion (#25685 by @smoogipoo)

As a dependent addition, "B-Splines" curve support has been added as a new slider type that generalize Bezier curves. The new B-Spline slider type is used to represent / approximate the hand-drawn slider and exposes a couple of settings for manual control over how the curve is fit.

Enforce minimum gameplay sample volume of 5% (#25185 by @bdach)

osu!stable's sample volume floor is actually 8%, but it is enforced in what seem to be completely stupid ways (in the UI it's 5%, but actual playback takes place at minimum 8%). Since that seems weird and bad, and basically nobody seems to know about it (source: a brief discussion I had with the NAT today), and it seems there should be no harm in actually having the cap be 5% without weird gymnastics or lying to the users, that's what I ended up doing.

With this change, importing beatmaps scores from stable will now choose a more correct "Last Played" date for beatmaps based on the most recent score imported. This also applies when importing one of your own scores at any point.

Main Menu

SFX improvements for ButtonSystem/MainMenu (#25395 by @nekodex)

Makes the main menu feel a bit more polished IMO while also reducing the ability to spike playback volume by spamming stuff.

Mods

• Make FreezeFrame and Transform Incompatible (#25233 by @Termincc)

• Correctly handle multiple online score ID types (#24794 by @bdach)

Overlays

Update user profile overlay to show more than one tournament banner (#25287 by @frenzibyte)

Add ability to view kudosu rankings (#25388 by @Joehuu)

Reliability

• Fix iOS AOT compilation failure due to SharpCompress library upgrade (#25236 by @peppy)
• Do not revert to default value when double-clicking disabled slider (#25230 by @bdach)
• Fix skin editor freezing game if opened during active gameplay (#25265 by @bdach)
• Update installer to latest release (#25385 by @peppy)

Settings

Automatically select existing search text when opening settings (#25286 by @frenzibyte)

Allows for a better search experience, as a user usually wants to find a new setting each time they come to the settings screen.

Add "disable taps during gameplay" to touch input settings and related UI (#25366 by @Susko3)

This fixes the previous "disable clicks" toggle from also affecting touch input.

Smaller changes

• Show touch input settings on mobile (#25399 by @Susko3)

Skin Editor

Add skin editor context menu items to reset rotation and scale (#25375 by @peppy)

Fix skin editor not clearing undo history on skin change (#25406 by @bdach)

Add "export" item to skin editor menu (#25408 by @peppy)

Add support for adjusting size of skin elements (#25402 by @peppy)

Dragging a skin elements from an edge will now adjust size, not scale. This allows resizing elements which support it without stretching them (which looked really bad).

Support is limited for now, but we can easily roll this out to more components in the future.

Persist the state of "show speed changes" between editor sessions (#25153 by @peppy)

Add beat snap grid to osu!taiko editor (#25154 by @peppy)

Framework

Add button to randomise test scene background colour (ppy/osu-framework#6022 by @peppy)

osu.Framework.Tests.2023-10-10.at.09.52.03.mp4

Fix some beatmap videos no longer rendering (ppy/osu-framework#6024 by @FreezyLemon)

MPEG-4 Part 2 is a video coding standard that sits "between" H.262 and H.264. Xvid, DivX and some less known formats implement it.

Smaller changes

• Update FFmpeg binaries (ppy/osu-framework#6026 by @github-actions[bot])

• Bring back shader workaround to fix blur on iOS (ppy/osu-framework#6031 by @frenzibyte)
• Throw exception when pushing a screen at OnExiting without blocking (ppy/osu-framework#6033 by @hwabis)

Gameplay

Fix argon health bar not completing flash animation correctly (#25074 by @peppy)

Noticed this while doing some work around the health bar. The flash just wasn't playing due to an oversight in the miss-finish-animation logic. I've also adjusted the flash a bit.

Show results immediately if user hits "back" key after finishing gameplay (#25097 by @peppy)

I've gone ahead and matched the osu!stable behaviour for this, as it seems like it's what people are used to and they will settle for no less.

Smaller changes

• Fix legacy score calculators using incorrect mod multipliers (#24988 by @smoogipoo)
• Fix multiplayer not correctly pausing the track on initialisation (#25079 by @peppy)
  • This resolves crashes experience in the last release (before the hotfix).
• Fix default preview point being incorrect on old beatmaps (#25083 by @peppy)
• Fix health bar animating startup sequence when it shouldn't be (#25136 by @peppy)
• Fix incorrect volume on some beatmaps (#25179 by @bdach)

Gameplay (osu!)

Adjust slider repeat animation on legacy skins to closer match stable (#25160 by @bdach)

Add an "Adjust pitch" switch to DT/HT (#24640 by @Givikap120)

Adjust slider ends to be more lenient during very fast sliders (#24966 by @peppy)

On very fast sliders, you now only need to be tracking somewhere in the last 36ms, rather than precisely at the (hidden) position of the last tick.

######### Miss

######### Valid hits

Fix circle scale not matching stable due to missing multiplier (#25167 by @peppy)

This fixes some replays incorrectly having misses due to a floating-point scale mismatch.

Change spinner score display to show when reaching max bonus score (#25177 by @peppy)

Fix spinner cheese by accounting for spin directionality (#25157 by @peppy)

You now need to spin in one direction for a full spin in order to increment the total spin count.

Smaller changes

• Adjust approach circle maximum size limits for backwards compatibility (#25067 by @bdach)
• Apply a few more object sizing limits (#25110 by @peppy)
• Fix spinner ticks not playing samples correctly sometimes (#25216 by @bdach)
  • This was probably revealed by the lowering of the spinner cap, which made the ticks more spread out and made this issue more likely to occur.

Gameplay (osu!catch)

Adjust legacy skin catcher sizing to match 1:1 with osu!(stable) (#25070 by @frenzibyte)

Overall, here are visual cross-comparisons of the catcher's display between lazer and stable:

Fix "Floating Fruits" mod not flipping playfield properly (#25173 by @bdach)

Gameplay (osu!mania)

Remove osu!mania hold note "ticks" (#25062 by @smoogipoo)

Change osu!mania "perfect" judgements to only award bonus score (#25111 by @peppy)

2023-10-03.21-41-17.mp4

We will add more places to trigger the invite from in the future!

Smaller changes

• Fix score importer looking up guest user by username online (#25077 by @bdach)
• Add ability to invite players to multiplayer rooms (ppy/osu-server-spectator#188 by @minetoblend)
  • Server-side changes.
• Don't upload replays for failed scores (ppy/osu-server-spectator#190 by @smoogipoo)

Ensure health displays don't pile up transforms when off-screen (#25076 by @peppy)

Results

Show maximum bonus statistics on results screen (#25096 by @peppy)

Settings

Disallow binding multiple bindings in a single section to one key (#25105 by @bdach)

Add ability to revert slider settings to default when double-clicking nub (#25163 by @Joehuu)

Song Select

Improve mouse interactions at song select (#25182 by @peppy)

Add ability to search for difficulty names using square brackets (#24921 by @Pasi4K5)

Smaller changes

• Fix "Hard Rock" mod affecting CS/AR in osu!mania and osu!taiko (#25101 by @peppy)
  • Not sure if there are other exceptions we should account for here. This is mostly fixing this for visual purposes. We'd probably want to hide these stats in the mod select screen at some point if they are not relevant to a ruleset.
• Remove drag handles from manage collections dialog for now (#25140 by @peppy)
  • The realm implementation doesn't support this. May come back at a future date, but this matches stable so it's not a huge deal.
• Fix collections not being sorted alphabetically in context menus (#25139 by @peppy)
  • As mentioned in #21602 (comment).

Testing

• Remove test scene background stack and use ...
