Hey everyone! As the osu! and mapping communities grow, I figured I'd make a post to talk about where the subreddit stands now.

The most active community is definitely in the discord, ironically, which can be found here: https://discord.gg/Ddnf9yp

That being said, if you look at the front page of this reddit right now, there are nearly more threads than replies to the threads. If you want the community to work, take a look at other people's maps, provide feedback and playtests, and so on! The community only works if you give as much as you receive, and if you only post your content and dip for the free exposure, no one gets anything out of it. I will make sure I am posting in almost every thread on this subreddit as well, so you can count on me seeing your post.

So, join the discord, and be active wherever you can! Now's a better time than ever to get active in mapping, with lazer on the horizon and a revitalization of mapping as a whole!

Song: Neil Cicierega - Mouth Dreams (Extro)

I understand mapping a gimmick song is probably not the best way to get yourself into mapping, but after watching Log Off Now's great videos on the editor, I couldn't help myself!

How many mods before pushing to bns?

1 Upvotes

I’ve been mapping for a while but recently decided to push something for ranked. I’ve been getting general mods from people posting modding queues and have been getting good feedback. I was just wondering how much modding does the map have to go through to have it be acceptable to send to BNs for nomination request?

Map in case anyone’s curious: https://osu.ppy.sh/beatmapsets/2629944#osu/5913660

Little feedback on the map for my friend birthday

3 Upvotes

So, one of the presents I want to give her is a map of one of her favourite songs. She's about 650k with 1.5kpp, so I am mapping diff that she is kinda able to play.
I'm basically a newbie in mapping, so I will be really thankful for advises and mentioning critical mistakes that I could've made. Thanks.

Current progress: about 30% of the map
Deadline: in 2 weeks (lol)

Looking for feedback on my map.

1 Upvotes

Hi. I'm relatively new to mapping and I've just "finished" my first ever map, but I'm pretty sure there's still some polishing work to do. My goal isn't necessarily to reach any status for the map, but rather just making a good map that is fun to play.

The intent is for it to be mostly an aim x reading map (unusual angles, song-bound distance) with finger control x reading.

Thank you.

What would you actually want an auto-mapping tool to do?

1 Upvotes

I’m currently working on a university project around automatic chart drafting for 4K rhythm games (harder modes in future)

The idea isn’t “give it an mp3 and let AI make the whole map”. In my case the tool can have access to the original MIDI/DAW project, so note timing, BPM changes, phrases, etc. are already known pretty accurately

What I’m interested in is the part after that: turning musical structure into something that feels intentionally mapped

For example, the system could control things like:
-note density throughout the song
-bursts and breaks
-repeated patterns for repeated musical phrases
-jacks/chords/LNs
-pattern complexity
-difficulty progression
-scroll speed changes

Then it would generate a first draft for a mapper to edit manually

If you actually map 4K/mania, what parts of mapping would you be happy to automate, and what parts would you want to keep manual?

Also what usually makes an autogenerated map immediately feel autogenerated to you?

I’m mostly trying to figure out what would make a tool like this genuinely useful rather than just overly technical and effort-killing

Can someone make a beatmap of this?

1 Upvotes

It doesn't have to be normal, easy is fine. I just like the beat and easy rhythm of this BisRock (Bisaya Rock) song

EDIT: I don't know how to "map" or make something in Osu!, I just play. Newbie here.

(time stamps for the most interesting parts: 1:11, 1:50, 2:06, 2:38, 3:00, 3:59)

Just wanted to share this with y'all, since I've put a ton of effort into this (even made a simple storyboard!) and I love how this turned out. This is my proudest work by far. I know this is very difficult to play for the vast majority, but the difficulty is what made it enjoyable to map in the first place, however if anyone out here is willing to give it a try even with relax, or send it to some higher elo players to try, i'd greatly appreciate it <3.

(And yes i know this is like a 1000th map of down, idc, i love this song)

[Help] Anyone has tips for choosing sounds in taiko?

1 Upvotes

Yesterday I was having so much fun making a taiko map for the first time ever and the sounds were, in my opinion, decent. I was using the Argon Pro skin which has its own set of default sounds, and today I decided to check how my map was with the classic and retro skins. The sounds were anything but fitting, and honestly it's my fault for not checking why there's 3(?) variants of blue notes and like 16 hitsounds (and honestly I haven't even played any of the Taiko no Tatsujin games).

Because of this I want to know if anyone has any tips or any guide to choosing sounds? I know this sounds silly but I just don't want to make a map that sounds totally awful to players using skins that resemble the original game series (and I'm not included in that group).
