Mapping Tools 2l1i1i

Here's the program that has a bunch of cool mapping tools all in one place!
Also there are automatic backups, automatic updates and many more features for your convenience.

It's open source and it's still under development so expect even more features and improvements in the future.



Here's a list of all the tools included in Mapping Tools and a little explanation:

1. Map Cleaner cleans greenline usage, resnaps greenlines, hitobjects and bookmarks + more
2. Metadata Manager edit metadata of a whole mapset in one place and remove duplicate tags
3. Property Transformer transforms various properties of objects in a way the editor doesn't let you
4. Slider Merger merges multiple sliders into one big slider regardless of path type
5. Slider Completionator changes duration and pixellength of one or more sliders
6. Timing Copier copies timing between maps and automatically resnaps
7. Timing Helper helps you fix timing on off-beat sounds
8. Hitsound Copier copies hitsounds from A to B with a lot of extra options
9. Hitsound Studio lets you make osu! std hitsounds in a completely new way
10. Hitsound Preview Helper places hitsounds on objects based on their position
11. Rhythm Guide extracts the rhythm from multiple maps so you can map to them all
12. Geometry Dashboard overlays geometry over your editor so you can easily make perfect geometry
13. Combo Colour Studio tool for making colour haxing without having to redo everything for a single change.
14. Sliderator tool for making accelerating sliders and streams.
15. Auto-fail Detector detects and fixes auto-fail in 2B maps.
16. Pattern Gallery tool for sharing collections of patterns between maps and people.
17. Mapset Merger merges multiple mapsets into one big mapset and fixes hitsounds/SB.

Get started

1. and install Mapping Tools from the website.
2. Open the program and read the 'Get started' on the startup page.
3. In case your osu or songs folder is located in an odd location you can set that in Option>Preferences
4. Read the documentation to find out what everything does and look at the tutorials to get an idea of what you can do with every tool.

If you find a bug or have any suggestions tell me on discord: OliBomby#3573

6. Tool that helps you make perfect patterns while mapping
7. Hitsound Studio importing from storyboarded samples
8. Different export options for Hitsound Studio
9. Converting automatic stacks to manual stacks
10. Hotkeys that make tool operation super fast
11. Tool for making variable velocity sliders by Karoo13
12. Rounding values in your map before saving thing
13. Never having to save your beatmap
14. Doing better ctrl+G on bezier sliders thing by Karoo13
15. Adding these tools to osu!lazer

Credits
I made this together with Potoofu. I did most of the programming and he did the website. The initial idea of putting all tools in one program was also his.
Thanks Karoo13 for making the logo and editor memory reading magic.
The cute people in the Rabbit Hole discord helped me test all the tools so it should be mostly bug free.

im sweating wtfffff

Mapping is saved!!!

Thank you

rabbit

thank you olibomby OSU

This is a bless for the world of mapping! Thank you so much for all this hard work!

GANG

i'll have to try this if i ever feel motivated to map ever again lol

Pfft overrated. Back in my day people actually put in hard work and effort to do this physical labour and could take pride in it. This assistance thingy is an unholy spawn of Satan himself and by using it you are willingly ruining mapping with cheap trickery.

oh good i can make garbage 5% faster now

yaaaaaaaaa nice oli ur god

YES!

This is already a pretty great program, and looks like future plans are only gonna make it better

could these just be features that come into lazer natively tbh

give this man a raise

Haven't tried it yet, but holy. I love this project. Thanks for all the effort!!

EDIT: After trying it just a bit (Timing Helper and Hitsound Studio) I found it not that friendly to use tbh, also the documentation has too much text and makes it tedious to fully read.

Would suggest to make some short videos (gifs maybe) showing the basic functionalities of each tool. However you might want to wait until you get more so you can improve the gui.

thx

I haven't tried it yet but for me, it may kill joys in mapping

nice !

this looks rly cool 👀

Thank you OliBomby! Very cool!

When I inevitably want to start making maps this will be useful, thanks!

OMG THANKS

nice!

Can you add:

-Linearity tools
Specifically tools for co-linearity between objects and perfect parallel slider creation relative to other sliders? I do this A LOT in my maps. The only way to achieve this is with bullshit slider scaling or slider drawing by lining up your new slider to an already existing "god slider" that every straight in your map is trying to stay parallel to. I don't use just 1 but I'll use 2 perpendiculars and then and mirrored version of those perpendiculars to increase visual complexity. It's not as complicated as I'm making it sound just look at a few of my maps and it sticks out like a sore thumb. It's just needlessly tedious to achieve something so simple right now in the current editor.

-Perfect blanketing tools
Another thing I also do this map is a great example. I'll move a single redundant hitcircle around in the timeline to create layers and layers of perfectly blanketed curved sliders overlapping each other (by using the approach circle of the circle and the hitcircle itself) and delete the circle when I'm done. A tool that would just let me pick a point on the play field, select a slider, click blanket and then drag the slider around to a position of content with it being perfectly blanketed to the selected point would be godsend.

You can imagine how flexible these 2 tools would be and how quickly you can create more structural depth in maps with a lot of the needless tediousness eliminated.

Yeah I was planning to make a tool that handles all of this. It's what I meant with "Tool that helps you make perfect patterns while mapping". It's gonna help you make symmetries and object relations by snapping your mouse to lines and points. There's gonna be a list of geometries that you can activate and it will probably have blankets and parallel things aswell.

we dont deserve u

I love what you plan with sliders <3 thank you so much

the program won't start after the latest update

things I've tried:

- installing in appdata
- installing in program files x86
- installing in program files
- installing in a different folder
- installing on a different drive
- ing and unpacking the zipped version

I've tried to run the program both with and without privileges in each scenario, and every time, the program just appears suspended in Task Manager for a few seconds and disappears.

Anyone know a fix?

Due to a little oversight in the latest update the program crashed on startup for new s. A fix will be here ASAP.

Thank you so much for saving my map after it got corrupted in a bsod i love you. The backups really helped a ton.

I wasn't planning on making a storyboard editor, because something like that is a lot of work and storybrew already exists. Also I'm not a storyboarder, so I don't feel qualified to make a tool for storyboarders.

Sliderator is already pretty far in development. UI and stuff is mostly done and just today I got the prototype version of the algorithm. At the current rate it's going it could be released before new years.

It's a great tool, but I would recommend ing or backing up beatmaps before using. The slider merger sometimes pops up a message saying 0 sliders merged, then deletes every object in the beatmap and saves the file.

That's a problem with editor reader, you can disable editor reader in the preferences. Because of how inconsistent the issue is I still can't find a fix, but at least you have automatic backups with Mapping Tools! You can open the backups folder using the Options menu.

I made a fix that should prevent all your hit objects disappearing when Editor Reader malfunctions. I know it is still possible for it to randomly stop working. If that ever happens to you please send me a memory dump of osu!, so we might be able to fix it for the future. As a short term solution, restarting your pc seems to fix it.

Sliderator has some delays. I'm relying on on Karoo to make the best variable velocity slider algorithm, but he is pretty slow. I might work on some other stuff while that is going on.

Property Transformer is very nice.

I had 320kbps audio , made all my SV then realise i need 192kpbs and offset changed.

Suggestion for Metadata Manager:

1) "Import from" when a map is selected, also change the "export metadata to" path to be same.

2) Add a button to export to ALL ".osu" files found in same folder as "export metadata to".

I believe people are more often editing metadata of same map rather than different map of same song.
This change should make experience better.

You'd usually import the metadata from one map and then export it to all difficulties in the set. I think you didn't notice that you can select multiple beatmaps for the "export metadata to" box

Ah i didn't know multi selection was there. Thanks.

But now it looks weird to have all the files in 1 line in the export field. I can't tell if i had everything selected properly.
https://i.imgur.com/l5pf7pZ.png

Actually, i think the export field only needs to show the folder, not the full path with filename.
Because Metadata should be same for all according to RC, there is no point in exporting to only 1 file.
so it would be easier just change export once import field is selected, then just need press the apply button and be done, instead of selecting 1 or more files for export field.

Also when i click the the export folder button, the default path is not the currently selected folder from import or export. something wrong with cache?

btw, the icon looks like but its actually currently listening song in osu editor. i think changing the icon and/or add tooltip would be helpful
i suggest this: https://material.io/resources/icons/?search=music&icon=music_note&style=baseline

The apply button is using "play" icon from media control, kinda weird too.
I think check mark would be more fitting , or just have "Apply" in text instead of icon.
https://material.io/resources/icons/?icon=done&style=baseline

Thanks for the !

I see your point with all the files in 1 line, but I can't think of a better alternative right now.

The export folder must still be a bunch of file paths, because it is possible that you have multiple songs in one mapset, so I can't force Metadata Manager to only work on complete folders.
It does make sense to open the folder from the import path when you browse for the export path. Right now there is a option in Preferences which controls whether the browse button opens the current beatmap or the last opened folder.

Changing the icon for the button for getting the currently listening song in osu! with a music note is a good idea and I'll definitely add tooltips.

I think the "play" icon for the run button is still good. Its consistent with all the other tools meaning it "plays" the program.

I didn't think about the possibility of having multiple songs in same folder, because that is not rankeable.

-----------------------------------------------------------

I just saw "step 1. File -> open map" in menu in "Get Started" , didn't know this before.

But i feel like this step is extra/unnecessary when the is only using the metadata editor.

when you click the "Import metadata" button, this can also call the function used in File-> open map
Which makes it easier when you try to set the export path.

-----------------------------------------------------------

For the multiple exports, I see 2 solutions.

1) you add a small number on the play button that indicates how many files you are exporting to.

2) use a list for the export map
something like this:

I'll rethink the Get Started steps, because telling you to use [File -> open map] is kinda outdated. Before there weren't any tools which didn't use the current beatmap.

The export path and the import path are related in Metadata Manager in a way that they probably go to the same folder, so I might make an exception for default folder in such cases. I think that is better than setting the current beatmap in a tool which doesn't use current beatmap.
But if you set the import path with the browse button then that location should also be what you get when you browse for the export path, because that was the last folder in the file explorer, so I don't know exactly what your problem is with the current system. If this is not what happens in your instance, then try disabling the "Current beatmap default folder in all tools" option in the preferences.


For the multiple exports, your suggestion gave me the idea to always show the number of maps for any field that can take multiple paths. It also visually implies which fields can take multiple paths. So I implemented that for the next update.

"disabling the "Current beatmap default folder in all tools" option in the preferences."
this works, thank you

Suggestion for Property Transformer:

I think you should add option for audio preview time as well. since if you want do a change in offset, u want everything time related to be modified.

currently behavior will leave audio preview unsnapped.

Thanks

Okay I'll add this to the to-do list. If I'm gonna add every time related element to Property Transformer I might add storyboard event time aswell and maybe something to make inputting the values for all time related elements more convenient.

I have a problem with the slider merger, when I highlight two sliders and try merging them, I get an error message saying "Editor memory was not read. Could not get the selected hit objects. Try again in 1 second.", help?

Feature Request for Metadata Manager:

Use case: when I make a change to the artist or title, the resulting osu file should also be renamed to match the new name.

other wise you end up having to open each diff manually in editor and SAVE to change file name.

If filename isn't changed, mapset verifier throw an error since it wont be updated properly.

I've been struggling with this issue for quite some time without any definitive fix. What you could do when you get this error is try restarting osu! or use the selection modes that don't require editor reader.

Just a clarification is ok, editor is enough for rankable sliders. Just need a note that accelerating/decelerating sliders are not rankable (no one gonna use them for the ranked section)

I don't think it's necessary to note the rankability of Sliderated sliders in Sliderator itself. If someone wants to check if something is rankable, then the official ranking criteria is the first place they would go and with the new clarification it should be pretty clear that the current Sliderated sliders are not rankable.

Right now I'm decoupling the front-end and back-end code in order to let the back-end be a seperate package. That might make it possible to have Mapping Tools on different platforms aswell. However the process is taking a while because of an eternity of bad coding practices...

It is written in .net framework with WPF which is a Windows only UI framework. To get cross-platform I need to use some other cross-platform UI framework and redo all the front-end code.

After having decoupled the back-end it will be easier to port that to .net 5 and add any kind of front-end. I'm already planning to make a Discord bot powered by Mapping Tools and that's the main reason that I'm doing this decoupling right now.

If you get an error like this or anything that tells you it can't find a certain method, try installing .NET Framework 4.6.2 runtime.

EDIT: Since Mapping Tools 1.8.4 you need to install .NET 5 Desktop Runtime x64 or x86 depending on your install of Mapping Tools.

Hello, I have a problem like in the image, I installed .NET for desktop apps, after it didn't worked I tried to repair .NET, I tried restarting my PC several times, installing the console app version, and I'm still getting that error. What should I do?

The version number should be fine. Make sure you install .NET Desktop Runtime 5, not just .NET Runtime 5.

If you have x64 mapping tools you need to install the x64 version of .NET Desktop Runtime and likewise for x86.

Is there one that works for Mac books?

You can use the web-based version of Mapping Tools which has a few of the tools or you could try running the x64 version of Mapping Tools with Wine, but there is no guarantee that it will work.

Apparently, I can't mapset tools because my computer deemed it unsafe for ing. What is to be done about this problem?
