Thanks for following the lazer journey!

A bit of a delayed release this time as we work on some larger efforts (renderer, anticheat etc.)

Not slowing down, just tackling the big tasks!

Code Quality

Editor

Automatically select the closest timing point on entering the timing screen (#22597 by @peppy)

Feels more natural when coming from stable.

Add toggle to disable automatic seeking to object after placement (#22686 by @MaxKruse)

Until now, some placement scenarios in the editor saw time being automatically seeked forward, to help wwith meapping efficiency (osu!mania placement in general & osu! placement when distance snap grid was turned on).

This settings now provides the ability to disable this.

Framework

Gameplay

Fix "skip" key binding no longer working in replay playback (#22598 by @peppy)

Smaller changes

  • Fix song progress incorrectly displaying timeLeft counter after rotation (#22600 by @Terochi)
    • Broke in the last release.
  • Don't show "resume" cursor when autopilot mod is turned on (#22338 by @Pasi4K5)
  • Fix hitsounds not playing correctly in some osu!mania / osu!taiko scenarios (#22659 by @peppy)
    • While we correctly support this at a decoding level, the special case of taiko / mania playing back samples in a non-standard method meant that things would fall apart there. This manifests in beatmaps which adjust sample sets or volumes mid-object (think osu!taiko drum roll or osu!mania hold notes), where the actual playback would not respect these adjustments.

Gameplay (osu!)

Fix hit circle late-miss fading differences compared to stable (#22543 by @Cwazywierdo)

In stable, if a hit circle is not hit on time it fades out until it becomes impossible to hit and registers as a miss. In lazer, a hit circle doesn't start to fade out until it's already registered as a miss. This change mathces the classic feel of note fade.

Note that this is only applied to "classic" mod for now.

Fix random white pixels on slider paths (ppy/osu-framework#5644 by @goodtrailer)

See white pixel:

Gameplay (osu!mania)

Fix osu!mania long notes not always displaying correctly since recent update (#22599 by @peppy)

Hopefully the final fix for osu!mania long note skinning. We've tested multiple skins now to ensure compatibility!

Gameplay (osu!taiko)

When hitting early or late, snap the note flying animation to the judgement area (#22553 by @OpenSauce04)

Previously we would always have the animation start from the hit location, which gives more visual feedback but is not what users were used to (from stable). For now, let's go back to how things were.

Note that this is only applied to "classic" mod for now.

Fix converted beatmaps occasionally having incorrect note types (#22589 by @sw1tchbl4d3r)

The current behavior breaks some taiko maps using the hitsample filename, like on this map at 00:45:961. The note is a normal don/red note in lazer, while it should be a strong one like in stable.

Localisation

Online

Fix chat getting in a join loop when clicking on channels in the listing quickly (#22544 by @peppy)

Smaller changes

  • Add support for Watching and Spectating activities (#22529 by @ItsShamed)
  • Add TestingBeatmap and ModdingBeatmap activities to beatmap editor screens (#22624 by @Joehuu)
    • The editing activity logic is a bit different from stable. Stable seems to check for username, while this PR checks for online ID. Seems better for cases where users change their names. I also want to add a check if a beatmap is ranked and display "editing" instead of "modding" as it is already final/non-moddable, but keeping it simple for now.

Results

Improve readability of AccuracyCircle (#22554 by @Walavouchey)

This fixes three minor issues:

  • The accuracy circle gauge could sometimes look like it landed on the wrong rank.
  • Most of the RankBadges were positioned at the start of their corresponding sectors instead of in the middle. There aren't any lines connecting the two or anything so this approach wasn't as legible.
  • The D rank badge would only appear with at least 35% accuracy, when in reality a D rank represents a pass of any accuracy below 70% (low values are achievable with e.g. No Fail).

Settings

Allow tablet area to be dragged (#22697 by @ggliv)

Smaller changes

  • Fix exports failing if a directory exists with the proposed filename (#22646 by @peppy)

Skin Editor

Add skin editor undo / redo support (#22506 by @peppy)

Fix skin component previews on toolbox buttons having incorrect size for one frame (#22607 by @Joehuu)

O65iKjjM79

Improve the feel of hovering components in the skin editor toolbox (#22672 by @peppy)

Previously the expand and contract of elements were not aligned chronologically, which could create ugly changes in content height of the view itself (making it very hard to target buttons once one or more were expanded).

Only show skin blueprint labels when selected or hovering (#22671 by @peppy)

Just to clean things up visually.

Also adds tweening to anchor point movement, because I think it will help greatly with user understanding of exactly what is going on.

Add skin editor clipboard support (#22650 by @peppy)

Works across different screens and different skins.

Add the ability to select a target layer in the skin editor (#22674 by @peppy)

Consider this a first step. I'd want the layer selection to be a radio button list rather than a dropdown. Just getting the general structure together so we can test this functionally before improving the UX.

This can immediately be used in gameplay to add elements which are saved against specific rulesets, rather than globally. More layers will be available in the future!

Add ability to send selected skin components to front or back (#22717 by @peppy)

An easy way of allowing the user to manage depth without creating a rearrangeable list display.

Skinning

Add support for per-ruleset skin layouts (#22673 by @peppy)

For now, this allows the new functionality in the skin editor. Going forward, this will allow the per-ruleset defaults (for legacy skins) to be implemented. Things like having the health bar vertical and attached to the playfield in osu!mania.

Song Select

Adjust song select background dimming to be more evenly applied (#22645 by @peppy)

There were a few comments around the place over song select looking too bright when blur is disabled. Which is most definitely is. This is due to dim not being applied at all to the portion of the background which isn't covered by the "wedge" on the left.

To fix this, I've changed the global background dim at song select to match osu-stable, then reduced the additional dimming of the wedge. I tried applying to the blurred version as well, but it looks bad so I fenced the change off to only when blur is not applied. For those interested, reverting the second commit can allow testing with blur on too.
