good thought.
but it should be discussed carefully. They have much possibility to cause a trouble.

I agree with HinsvarHinsvar wrote: 683k34
ing this. This way, there will be more flexibility regarding the usage of slider velocities.
I personally think 0.10-10.00x is pretty extreme for the standard mode (if compared with osu!mania), but 0.25-2.00x feels kinda limited too. I'm okay with this.
And there shouldn't be any worry about someone abusing this (read: Changing slider velocities randomly with reasons like "just because") in a map that's going for ranking or approval; as long as there are modders and BAT around, the abuse will eventually be pointed out.

Problem is SV changes over x5.0 is really barely usable at all but i think they can be used as well in the future in rarely special cases.
As example, we currently have in editor other barely usable options (HP 10, OD10, 1/16 beat snap division etc) - having them isnt hurt at all but they can be used well in some special cases.
Anyway lets wait for other opinions.
I honestly found 0.25x to 5x slider multiplier reasonable in general. I think going under 0.25x and over 5x would be overdoing it imo.
I guess for rare cases it could be interesting when used right, but at the same time I do prefer more freedom in mapping than limited.
I'm still in doubt with the lower slider velocity part because of the drain rate (and when playing with HR and higher OD), as you could be performing well during gameplay only to fail at the drain section. Still semi- and Wishy lol.

Usually very long slow sliders have a lot of sliderticks what helps survive a lot (look at lesjuh's approved map with x0.13 and x0.20 slider) Extremely long unneeded sliders will be just modded out.BeatofIke wrote: 68633

Just same limit as in o!m editor would be enough imo.Wishy wrote: 205e2e
Changing the limit from the actual one to x0.00000000001 to x99999999999999999999999 would be nice. Not like you will get any map ranked with x999999999 SV.
How to express that you're ing the request then if you don't have stars?peppy wrote: 73101g
Please don't post "" replies. I have disabled the ability to do this.
people are allowed to post they do not this, so they should also be allowed to post that they do.
for that matter, I fully this. As seen in some maps, slow or high velocity sliders can work insanely well and flow with the music. They can build up suspense or calm the player down. They are a mapping technique that should not be prohibited, just like any other. Keep in mind that sliderticks can be used to make them readable, and if they really are not, modders and BAT will point them out.
@peppy's edit: editing the .osu file is possible, but is against current ranking criteria. Therefore, sliders changed that was are UNRANKABLE at the moment. We either need to change that rule or the editor's possibilities
That's how you properlyZarerion wrote: 6z4f1h

But editing osu! files is unrankable, isnt it?peppy wrote: 73101g
As for changing these limitations: I see no reason to do this in the editor. If you really feel the need, then edit the osu! file. The current limitations are fine.
Its requested because it can be done well & playable avoiding current limitaion (i gived some maps for example).Why it should be unrankable if it can be done well & creative?

Those maps are not extremely old, and playability of them was confirmed by at least 3 BATs. I guess a lot of players can agree that it plays well too.Kodora wrote: 1m1h4o
2)We already have approved maps what uses different SV multiplier.
http://osu-ppy-sh.tvgratuite.org/b/98451 - this map uses x0.13 and x0.20 sliders (00:12:303 (4) - and 10:44:207 (1) - ). They plays well, fits the music and works enough intuitive
http://osu-ppy-sh.tvgratuite.org/b/92051 - this map uses x2.40 slider (08:03:290 (1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2) - ) The progressive increasing of slider velocity makes it plays intuitive and it fits the music as well too.
I can give more not ranked maps what uses different multiplier, but i'm sure approved ones should be best example.
That's not the point. Why does the range have to be increased in order for you (anyone) to be creative? 0.5x to 2.00x is great. Besides, only a minimal amount of people understand what abuse really is (as history proves). Also,Kodora wrote: 1m1h4o

This has been the wrong mindset and we've been telling you this. Each map is its independent entity; one's allowance does not imply another. Additionally, these should have been caught before they were ranked, and can only be blamed on the inability (or misjudgment) of some.Kodora wrote: 1m1h4o

Considering how infrequent this would be used, it would be better to amend the editing of osu files rule then continue this movement to allow going beyond the constriction in special cases.
In general, the current editor constriction is adequate for moat playable mapping. As long as such an amendment doesnt bring back hold sliders, I am fine with it.

I'm going to this.
Due to the way slider velocity works, low bpm songs have an arbitrary cap on how fast sliders can go (this is inversely the same with high bpm songs).
Also, it may not be immediately obvious, but removing the cap doesn't mean all maps will have more extreme slider velocity. A removal of the cap would actually help keep speed consistent in some cases.
For example, if a song jumps from say 300 bpm to 50 bpm (stuff like pluto), unlimited inherining section use would allow the mapper to keep their slider velocities constant throughout, instead of desperately using 0.5x and 2.00x to try and achieve it.

I really don't think that there's any need for this. There's enough scope for creativity and pacing with .5x and 2x alone, not to mention everything in between. I suppose that extreme tempo changes would benefit, but one could simply multiply the tempo itself. I'm willing to bet that such extreme tempo changes are nothing more than longer notes, or could otherwise be interpreted as such and thus the tempo wouldn't need to be changed so drastically.

There are a lot of things what was provided before (stack leniency 0, CS0, 8-10, volume sections 0%, spinner-rule about 2000 bonus etc) but what was removed or changed for specified reasons. And a lot of absolutely new things what was added just by people's requests. As you can see, a lot of people ing changing current slider velocity multiplier because allowing more huge one have very big potential of creativity usage - enough fair reason i guess.those wrote: 2f131h
The reason why 0.5x to 2.0x is used is because that is what's provided.
I just showed a simple examples of potential usage of it what people already like, thats all.those wrote: 2f131h
..and I explained why that's not an argument. Stop bringing up specific maps in of this because there's no in that.
I'd be in favor of making a multiplier down to 0.1x possible, but not to 5x in the other direction. Slow sliders can be done well(and there are quite a few instances of them that play well), but I find extremespeed sliders very obnoxious because they usually play like shit, mainly because they're hard to read unless they have a storyboarded warning or something like that. 2x is hard enough, and if you desperately want a slider that warrants an SV multiplier like that you should question your design choices.

Wait whats wrong with sliderballs wits sections slower than x0.5? o_Opeppy wrote: 73101g
I would consider allowing less than 0.5x if the slider ball is first converted into a proper 3d object so the animation doesn't look like balls.
Its not always crazy, it can be done well if it fits the music. For example, as i linked in my first post, progressive SV raising technique - player can understand that next slider goest faster and can aim it well (map for example - http://osu-ppy-sh.tvgratuite.org/b/92051 - 08:03:290 (1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2)).peppy wrote: 73101g
Above 2x is just crazy talk.
Its not onliest mapping technique what may works well with sliders faster than x2.00 but i hope it will be good example.
What about Taiko? I wanted to ask this some time ago as well. Sometimes there are notes which require a higher SV multiplier than x2.00 due to overlapping issues. Certain songs allow to have fast appearance of finisher, sliders or spinners, but the editor doesn't. So it becomes problematic once a song reach the +200 BPM because then, the x2.00 or x1.50 has no usage anymore due to bad overlapping which could be fixed by x4.00 multiplier. I doubt there is a skinning restriction in Taiko, since there are no 3D effects, or? Also it would give us one of our -okay, I call it now carefully- gimmicks back, which TNT is using often for example, but not unreasonable. After all, we have only one axis, and having one more restriction in a one axis game is... well, less possibilities in mapping. If something crazy should happen, the Taiko-BAT is the first one on the front to stop this.peppy wrote: 73101g

I would Kodoras idea, due to the stuff I mentioned now for Taiko.
You simply do not understand. You can use "progressive SV raising technique" while still staying within 2.0x slider velocity.Kodora wrote: 1m1h4o

It cant be achieved using current limitations.those wrote: 2f131h
That's not the point. The point is what you want achieved can already be achieved with the current limitations. Anything besides this is extraneous.
For example, SV progression what used Cry for Eternity map what i linked - it used progression x1.00 -> x1.50 -> x2.00 -> x2.40.
This progression definitely cant be achieved using current limitaions.
Some resolving what people usually suggest: double basic SV and half SV in all inherited sections. But it not always works. Biggest problem - it makes impossible to make slowdown parts (what also can be far, far away from speedup parts and will never confuse player). As Charles said before, bigger limit would work better in this case.
Rational usage of new SV multiplier can give a lot of potential to new mapping.
The current limitations also give good results and I'm also willing to bet that the amount of abuse would outweigh the occasional good application in a pretty horrible way. The last thing that this place needs is an "it's technically feasible, therefore I'm doing it no matter what" argument over SV. Halving and doubling the velocity is already pretty drastic.Kodora wrote: 1m1h4o

Going by what peppy said, extreme slowdowns would be much more likely to succeed than extreme speedups, but aside from the sliderball's animation looking horrible, going too slow makes a map plod tediously. I always hate it when that happens, because it barely feels involving in the slightest. Having the sliders too fast is disastrous. What we have now is a good middleground between "too slow" and "too fast."
Once again, map reference doesn't do a thing.
You only think it can't be done because you see a 240% ratio. As a matter of fact, the maximum slider velocity could have been 2.0x and the progression could have been just as great. The reason why you can't see this is because you (not only you) have forced yourself to try to break the system instead of using what you're given to fuller potential.

If it done rational it wont be drastic. Also, a lot of people like huge speedchange nowadays (if it needs i will give links to maps what used huge speedchanges and what have a lot of fauvorites, positive from players, positive votes etc etc etc).D33d wrote: 1z2z1f

I dont know what's wrong with sliderball's animation. Maybe its just me but it also looks okay as for me (https://osu-ppy-sh.tvgratuite.org/s/29705 - for example this map, it have x0.13 and x0.20 sliders but they looks as usual here)D33d wrote: 1z2z1f

quick edit to reply:
those, why you consider this in such a negative way? Its not a mythical "war with system", its just a reasonable suggestion to give new prospects for mapping, to give new ways of creativity. If it can be done well why it shouldnt be rankable? If current system can be improved, then why not do it? If potential can be increased, then why not?those wrote: 2f131h

You know, whether something has been abused or not is totally subjective. People who dislike slow sliders will say "these are too slow so it's abused" and other's will say "They're fun to play for me so they're most likely fine."
Some mappers use 2.0 spacing for a jump where another would have used 3.0
Some mappers will map a slider where others would have used a spinner
Some mappers decide to use 0.6x sv where another mapper would have used 0.8x sv
and that's totally fine, isn't it? both versions are gonna be enjoyed by different players.
So why wouldn't we just allow lower or higher sv and see that people are going to enjoy them still?
How would giving the mapper a bit more possibilities of interpreting music hurt this game, modders or players? jeez.

. but I thought 0.1~10 is too weird to become a playable slider velocity
however..
let's suppose X as the minimal slider velocity, then the maximal slider velocity should be X^(-1). so I thought x=0.25 is really awesome bcz we can reduce the slider velocity by 16 times and hold sliders will make sense

those your logic makes no sense whatsoever
and the reason why you can't see why it's better is because you're forcing yourself to just stay within the boundaries and do the same thing over and over, instead of actually trying new things
k next up
and before you say "but it's personal preference to put sliders > 2.0x or < 0.5x cause I know someone will try it, just look how many people ed this (+30 in the first 3 hrs...) the number of people who want this is really greater than the number of people who don't
next up is what I agree with
and for the record
there exists a map with a 5.0x slider and it's one of the best things ever, so don't go saying "anything above 2.0x is ridiculous"
tl;dr: there is no reason at all to limit things, when it can be even better without the limitation. "abuse" isn't a valid excuse. just think about the whole community for a few seconds plz instead of just assuming you know everything all the time

also for now sliders over x0.5-x2.00 can be done via osumania editor w/o editing .osz
Should we just make new rule about slider speed usage instead then?

Do not manually edit anything in an .osu file that cannot be changed through the Editor. The only exceptions are .osu-specific storyboards, slider velocity multiplier and skin-related options such as SliderBorder and SliderTrackOverride.And put x0.5-x2.00 to guidelines.

This would be a only-Insane technique since things like that are used for being really complicated. I'd also say that Hold sliders should not be made on this way then but I see a lot of potential if we allow to use <0.5x / >2.0x SV per green Lines. I see good things coming with that but also bad ones. Cannot result about this.
of course it would be Insane-only... SV changes are like never used in any lowdiffs in the first placeStefan wrote: 72304b

Of course. Any spedchanges usage on easiest diffs isnt recommended at all.Stefan wrote: 72304b

Little point about hold sliders. "Hold slider" in fact is uncommon usage of speedchanges (extreme jump from normal/fast slider to very slow one what definitely cant be noticed while playing, plays weird and where music doesnt requires it). This is just kind of abuse what obviously will be pointed out by modders and BATs while modding/ranking process. However, i must say that abuse usage can be done even with current multiplier, but i doubt that map what uses it will be ranked.Stefan wrote: 72304b

Main problem of hold sliders is that they give drastic effect while playing (unexpected and counter-intuitive speed jump as i said above). If it done in way where they dont hurts while playing i guess it works fine (as example you can make progressive SV decreasing same as progressive SV raising). x0.5 is just a number, final speed & playability very depends to bpm, song and patterns what mapper used.peppy wrote: 73101g
sliders < 0.5x is a hold anyway. wait for hold notes to be implemented.
Unlike "hold note" where player needs to hold & wait slider gives absolutely different feelings while following sliderball (x0.25 and slower sliders can be done as enough long ones to follow sliderball instead of holding cursor in one point - this is different).
Thats why allowing < 0.5 is important.
I'm only chipping in my opinion here, but it's based on what I consider to be a rather large amount of experience on my part. A fast song will yield faster sliders as a matter of course and extremely slow SV leaves a ridiculously limited scope for patterns, which will always end up being scrunchy, self-overlapping and barely-moving messes. In this instance, the only way to create more motion is to juxtapose horrifically slow sliders with horrifically disproportionate jumps. It's not a good experience for me. Halving the speed already creates enough of a change in feel which actually relates to the music.pieguy1372 wrote: 5n6l

and before you say "but it's personal preference to put sliders > 2.0x or < 0.5x cause I know someone will try it, just look how many people ed this (+30 in the first 3 hrs...) the number of people who want this is really greater than the number of people who don't
Overly fast sliders become ridiculously uncomfortable to play and only fit intense songs. For a fast song, setting the SV correctly in the first place will allow for plenty of momentum at 1x, which would already become extremely fast at 2x--in such a case, I wouldn't even recommend more than 1.5x increases for anything which gets close to 200BPM. Slowing things down to half-speed would make things slow enough without compromising the overall feel of the song, while an actual slowdown in the song's tempo would make SV multipliers irrelevant--a tempo change would be used, which would slow down the default SV anyway.
Moreover, I don't consider it unreasonable to expect that such an implementation would be abused enough for it to be removed at some point. That's already happened after far too much farting around. There's quite enough flexibility with the current settings and simply changing the flow of a section can have a massive effect on how the section feels in relation to the music. If I were a BAT, then I'd rather not want to add even more obscene SV abuse to my daily shit-list, so being preventive in this case would save a lot of headaches.
As peppy also said, extremely slow sliders play as holds. They carry no real impetus and defeat the purpose of a "slider." To quote Charles out of context, they're a "waiting game" and I've never seen them used in a fun way, ever. As for the sliderball looking like arse, its animation doesn't have that many frames--at extremely slow speeds, the animation becomes jerky and looks very goofy. It would probably continue to look nasty at <0.5x if more frames were added, unless somebody really wants to make loads of subtle shading changes to the ball itself.
Also, the amount of ers doesn't necessarily imply that everybody wants it--it just shows that lots of people want it. You don't know how many people would detest this without them expressing their disapproval and a good many of them probably don't want to become involved in any arguments over this anyway.
To sum up my opinion on this: At a given tempo, extreme changes in speed are jarring and, assuming that the default setting feels good, extreme changes will not feel good regardless of how gradually they're introduced. The current restrictions are hardly limiting to one's creativity, because there are loads of other ways to create intensity and calmness without ever touching the multiplier. If the global SV can't be tuned to work with faster and slower sections, then it was probably set incorrectly to begin with.
I'm only chipping in my opinion here, but it's based on what I consider to be a rather large amount of experience on my part.so all the people who do this, including BATs and experienced mappers, don't have as much experience as you. ok
A fast song will yield faster sliders as a matter of course and extremely slow SV leaves a ridiculously limited scope for patterns, which will always end up being scrunchy, self-overlapping and barely-moving messes. In this instance, the only way to create more motion is to juxtapose horrifically slow sliders with horrifically disproportionate jumps. It's not a good experience for me. Halving the speed already creates enough of a change in feel which actually relates to the music.I have no idea what you're even talking about, but I'll try anyway
A fast song will yield faster sliders as a matter of course and extremely slow SV leaves a ridiculously limited scope for patterns, which will always end up being scrunchy, self-overlapping and barely-moving messes.your opinion, and I think we all know using "always" in relation to mapping doesn't work
In this instance, the only way to create more motion is to juxtapose horrifically slow sliders with horrifically disproportionate jumps.people use slow sliders to create less motion cause having too much motion doesn't fit
Halving the speed already creates enough of a change in feel which actually relates to the music.ok, but in special cases sliders <0.5x work well and feel really good ~

I doubt people are gonna make a whole 3.0x section. hey at least it also allows the possibility if someone does it well

IMO, people will sometimes want to make a really slow, holding feeling without "no motion". In other words, sometimes they want just a very slow motion instead of none at all. That's why I think sliders < 0.5 is valid and separate from "hold notes" = =peppy wrote: 73101g
sliders < 0.5x is a hold anyway. wait for hold notes to be implemented.
This is not true when the slider is long.peppy wrote: 73101g

@D33d: You are like, assuming just because you yourself wouldn't like a such sliders because of your personal opinion, it#s automatically bad.
Read my previous post. How would you define when it is "abused"? Is it abused the moment YOU as an INDIVIDUAL and a SUBJECTIVE opinion cannot enjoy it anymore?
You see, the essence of osu! is that everyone can play and map whichever song HOWEVER they like. As long as it is rhythmically correct, whether a map is good or bad is entirely subjective. Whether a slider is fun or not depends on the player.
Ever considered that other people made other experiences? That others might consider 0.5x to not have the effect they want?D33d wrote: 1z2z1f

They do not. A slider will always be that, a slider, and will ALWAYS have the effect of something moving. Hold Notes would need to be used entirely differently, if ever implemented.D33d wrote: 1z2z1f

So what does the Feature Request, subforum, where this thread originally was, exist for, then, if the opinion of >30 sup-stars on the first day doesn't count? Do we just ignore the ~7 pages of people who agree with the OP because MAYBE there MIGHT be some other people who think differently, if they can't even be arsed to the discussion? They cannot be against this all that much if it's too stressful to explain why they disagree, can they? You are assuming things one after.D33d wrote: 1z2z1f

Basically you are just assuming you can project your opinion, that lower or higher SV than currently possible, does not feel well when playing, on everyone else, without actually providing reasons as to why it would play bad. What makes a 0.4x Slider worse than a 0.6x one?
Just let the mapper interpret the song the way they want. ffs
Would it really harm anyone to implement this? <_<
By the way, D33d: Sorry for ripping your post apart like that, the same way pieguy did. We are not trying to offend you or anything. Please try to keep calm about this and not be biased.
Mapping need less rules anyway. Just make a rule "The map has to be rhythmically correct, i.e. no 1/16 when there is only 1/1." and let the mappers do their goddamn thing. Honestly now.
all this text is completely pointless. these threads should only have beatmaps posted to them, with examples of where did works or not. please do not post any more walls of text, but only examples of where this does/doesn't work. i'll do my part and delete any post which isn't either a) a map or b) a post about a previously posted map discussing whether it works well or not.

Moreover, extremely slow sliders do play as holds, because the cursor effectively stays in one place.

Longer sliders feel tedious and useless to me, as well as feeling like they're mapped over useless parts.

I'm taking the liberty of having a look at these examples, but the limit's making the process very slow. Let it be said that my aggressive tone is only me being assertive in the face of people who assume that I have no basis for my opinion. Let's start with pieguy's examples!
First map: pieguy posting one of his maps as "evidence." No bias here!
The extremely slow slider is tedious and mapped over pretty much nothing. It feels thoroughly useless. The speedup after it is obscene and would not be rankable. You people can already change the .osu for gimmick maps, so you can make silly gimmicks like this for standalone maps. They won't be ranked anyway.
The second example is ridiculous. The last kickslider makes it hard to tell if it's even possible to hold the cursor in place, but it's quite a narrow margin anyway. Moreover, all of the sliders look like they could have the same duration. The map would not be rankable in the slightest.
worldenddominator: Not good. Utterly unreadable. The tiny slider looks like it'd last for a sixteenth note. The sweeping motion of the note could be expressed far, far better by a long wave or, you know, one of those silly scrunched up sliders. What follows the tiny slider is a horrible example of flow, readability, presentation and pretty much everything which good mapping entails. Even worse, the whistle makes it feel even more ludicrous.
'FLOWER': Unreadable nonsense. A spinner or even blank space would make much more sense in the first part. The other example is kind of cute, but it's an unfair trap after the horrendous mess before it. An actual hold circle would be good, or just ending the section on beat one.
'Metomorphasis': I playing this map a while ago and not enjoying the experience. In fact, it does a lot wrongly besides the slowdown. That slowdown also comes out of nowhere and it's occurring over a decay. I'd leave silence there. It also ends on a strong downbeat, which weakens the start of the next section.
'MATERIAL': Those sliders were achieved by lowering the BPM, which is the most sensible way because of the song's ritardando. I'd say that it'd make more sense to leave some space anyway, since the piano finishes in a satisfying place. Not to mention, the speedup after the pause is ridiculous, which is even more reason to let the player actually rest/centre their mouse.
'Nyaruko Marathon': Colourhax does nothing for the readability. The changes also sent my mouse hand flapping around and then it was hard to get back into the map. I only managed to hit them because I knew that they were coming. Unfair traps.
'Roze': I've played this map already and it's one of many severe examples which make me extremely sceptical. I didn't enjoy it--just because the song's emotional, it doesn't mean that the map has to be a flailing mess.
'CaptivAte': Lesjuh can do some weird things. This is one of them. The discrepancy between the huge jumps and the nigh-dead slider is ridiculous and the slider also weakens the last beat in a very bad way.
Couple of more that I've missed. All of the above considers musicality and playability/readability.
Honestly, guys, you're trying to prove to peppy and possibly mm that there's a use for the changes. These are not good examples. I'm pretty sure that peppy would feel the same. His hands are full with loads of other commitments as it is. mm would certainly detest what's being posted.
I know enough about music and pacing to form a competent opinion. I've also spoken to plenty of competent mappers/the people who code this game who agree with me/would agree with me. It's not bias for the sake of bias--it's me seeing quite a significant number of examples of bad pacing/unreadability. They just don't work and would not be rankable.Zarerion wrote: 6z4f1h

and/or accept the fact that a map does not necessarily need to be sightreadable for everyone on the very first try?

According to this, i'll change topic and first post right now.
EDIT: Changed first post. Any suggestions to improve current wording are welcome.
I did short discussion with D33d about Garven's suggestion:
Wise speedchange usage requires very, very good mapping experiense, especially if mapper decided to cross current limitation. However, in specified cases it may works, and works enough intuitive and playable. Together we decided to follow Garven's suggestion about allowing editing .osz for speedchanges for specified cases. Any abusely usage can be prevented by popping/unranking over quality reason (unreasonable SV changes usage for this case), but good usage may chance to get ranked/approved category.Garven wrote: 3w455y
Considering how infrequent this would be used, it would be better to amend the editing of osu files rule then continue this movement to allow going beyond the constriction in special cases.

23:20 Kodora: o hi
23:20 D33d: Sup.
23:22 Kodora: Do you have so free time to discuss something?
23:22 D33d: Depends on how much discusson's needed.
23:23 Kodora: I think it would be nice to discuss theory aspects via PM (feel free to post thread if you want) instead of posting in thread
23:23 Kodora: Its about new SV changes
23:23 D33d: I know.
23:23 D33d: I don't want to talk about it much, because I've said all that I wanted in the thread.
23:23 Kodora: I understand fact that not all people agree with it.
23:23 Kodora: I understand fact that not all people even like any SV manipulation
23:24 D33d: I get that those things are fun to some people, but it's about compromise and not using nasty traps.
23:24 Kodora: We can do a nice compromise. I discussed with Garven before about this.
23:24 D33d: Yeah he'd mentioned that.
23:25 D33d: I only argued my case so intensely because I've seen all of this stuff loads of times and it's never worked for me.
23:25 D33d: That and I've never seen a case which couldn't have been replaced by something else.
23:26 D33d: It's not between us anyway. It's between the ers and peppy, which is why all of the further discussion was deleted.
23:26 Kodora: As Garven said pm to me, using any SV changes need enough well experience at mapping, and really only few mappers can do it, especially with highest one.
23:26 D33d: Basically that. Discretion and limits are important.
23:26 Kodora: But, it can be done well case-by-case
23:27 D33d: The problem is that it becomes extremely hard to justify.
23:27 Kodora: All rules have exceptions. We cant absolute anything in this universe.
23:27 Kodora: Lets just do one simple compromise:
23:27 D33d: Some of those examples had a nice effect, but contrasted too much and too suddenly.
23:28 D33d: osu! rules can be broken in some cases, but rules are there for a reason.
23:28 Kodora: It wont be implimented in editor, but will be allowed via manual editing .osz for specified cases. If any BAT member will disagree with it, it will be popped over not reasonable usage with constructive suggestions about good replacement.
23:29 Kodora: Or unranked
23:29 D33d: Really, anybody can do that already, right?
23:29 D33d: It's only an editor limitation and, since the use cases are special, people can invoke them when they really want to.
23:30 D33d: I agree with it being allowed at all if it's really effective.
23:31 Kodora: Not really. Only few people know how it can be done. If people can do it in well, reasonable and playable well and playability of this usage will be confirmed by qualified member it will be added to official list of ranked maps.
23:31 Kodora: Thats my idea how it will works.
23:31 D33d: I thought that was always the case.
23:31 D33d: Remind me if there's a rule against it.
23:32 Kodora: We just going to cancel one limitation for specifical case on a legit way, nothing more.
23:32 D33d: Honestly, I'm happy as long as it stays out of the editor.
23:33 Kodora: In fact we really have no any rules about "do not set speedchanges over current editor limit" (yes it can be done without manual editing .osz)
23:33 D33d: Yes, speedchanges can be made with BPM changes.
23:33 Kodora: But to make it clean i think would be nice to have an official exception.
23:33 Kodora: I mean not this.
23:34 Kodora: Speedchanges over current limit can be done just by switching to osu!mania editor moe.
23:34 D33d: Well that's still not allowed and all, but if a song actualy changes its speed, BPM can be changed like that anyway.
23:34 D33d: I still thought that there was always a caveat for it.
23:34 Kodora: *mode
23:34 D33d: Oh okay.
23:34 Kodora: I dont like any BPM manipulations honestly
23:34 D33d: They tend to be bad yeah, if they're done to force something.
23:36 D33d: Mappers only need to understand that extreme gimmicks are likely to be modded out.
23:36 Kodora: One important thing: this discussion was started again because with new osumania editor we can avoid this rule. So, to make it clean and avoid any missunderstanding, i think would be nice to follow Garven's suggestion.
23:36 D33d: I.e. it doesn't have to be a huge issue if massive changes aren't allowed by a BAT.
23:37 D33d: I think that people really need to treat standard and mania as completely separate games.
23:37 Kodora: Its a good compromise what already accepted several BATs.
23:37 D33d: Pretty much.
23:39 Kodora: If there are any BATs what will be against speedchanges usage they have all powers to pop/unrank abusely map over this reason.
23:39 Kodora: Like they exactly doing it now for other problematic maps
23:39 D33d: Exactly.
23:40 D33d: Keeping the case as it is now, we won't have too much abuse and people can still go out of their way if they want.
23:40 D33d: Thanks for being forthcoming about it.
23:41 Kodora: So, you agree with Garven's propose?
23:43 Kodora: I'll just edit first post according to it
23:44 D33d: Yeah I agree.
23:45 Kodora: Then nice. Thanks for discussion, i'll post log :p
23:45 D33d: Sorry for getting so fired up too. I saw all of the bickering and kind of lost it.
23:45 D33d: Plus, I gave all of the reasons I could, so I know that I can leave it be.
23:46 Kodora: :3
23:20 D33d: Sup.
23:22 Kodora: Do you have so free time to discuss something?
23:22 D33d: Depends on how much discusson's needed.
23:23 Kodora: I think it would be nice to discuss theory aspects via PM (feel free to post thread if you want) instead of posting in thread
23:23 Kodora: Its about new SV changes
23:23 D33d: I know.
23:23 D33d: I don't want to talk about it much, because I've said all that I wanted in the thread.
23:23 Kodora: I understand fact that not all people agree with it.
23:23 Kodora: I understand fact that not all people even like any SV manipulation
23:24 D33d: I get that those things are fun to some people, but it's about compromise and not using nasty traps.
23:24 Kodora: We can do a nice compromise. I discussed with Garven before about this.
23:24 D33d: Yeah he'd mentioned that.
23:25 D33d: I only argued my case so intensely because I've seen all of this stuff loads of times and it's never worked for me.
23:25 D33d: That and I've never seen a case which couldn't have been replaced by something else.
23:26 D33d: It's not between us anyway. It's between the ers and peppy, which is why all of the further discussion was deleted.
23:26 Kodora: As Garven said pm to me, using any SV changes need enough well experience at mapping, and really only few mappers can do it, especially with highest one.
23:26 D33d: Basically that. Discretion and limits are important.
23:26 Kodora: But, it can be done well case-by-case
23:27 D33d: The problem is that it becomes extremely hard to justify.
23:27 Kodora: All rules have exceptions. We cant absolute anything in this universe.
23:27 Kodora: Lets just do one simple compromise:
23:27 D33d: Some of those examples had a nice effect, but contrasted too much and too suddenly.
23:28 D33d: osu! rules can be broken in some cases, but rules are there for a reason.
23:28 Kodora: It wont be implimented in editor, but will be allowed via manual editing .osz for specified cases. If any BAT member will disagree with it, it will be popped over not reasonable usage with constructive suggestions about good replacement.
23:29 Kodora: Or unranked
23:29 D33d: Really, anybody can do that already, right?
23:29 D33d: It's only an editor limitation and, since the use cases are special, people can invoke them when they really want to.
23:30 D33d: I agree with it being allowed at all if it's really effective.
23:31 Kodora: Not really. Only few people know how it can be done. If people can do it in well, reasonable and playable well and playability of this usage will be confirmed by qualified member it will be added to official list of ranked maps.
23:31 Kodora: Thats my idea how it will works.
23:31 D33d: I thought that was always the case.
23:31 D33d: Remind me if there's a rule against it.

According to this, i'll change topic and first post right now.
EDIT: Changed first post. Any suggestions to improve current wording are welcome.

Sound exactly perfect, those "dont use more than 3 SV's" guideline was weird anyway, this correction is much more reasonable.HakuNoKaemi wrote: z6c2f
The rule's already permitting to edit .osu to manually edit sv speeds, like this.
So, let's divide the guideline in two parts
one pertaining the numbers of multipliers
A reasonable amount, generally three(excluding tiny velocity shifts made to correct the length of some sliders), of slider velocity multipliers should be used.(Examples: 0.5x, 1.0x and 2.0x or 0.75x, 1.00x and 1.5x, but not 1.00x, 0.98x and 1.02, since they're tiny enough to not be a real change). If slider velocity changes are able to be merged (e.g. close values like 0.8x and 0.7x) while still flowing/working correctly, then they should be.and another pertaining the range of usable multipliers
While you can generally use a good range of slider velocity multipliers(from 0.5x to 2.0x), you can manually edit the .osu file to obtain an unlimited range of multipliers. When using slider velocity multipliers obtained like this, try to test them with an handful of peoples with various skill levels (dependent on the difficulty of the map) to know if the way you used the slider velocity change played good.
Updated first post.
I just want to give my 2c about this.
The reason I believe a huge velocity change isn't necessary is because when mapping you should care about presentation. You don't have to have really big changes to make an object represent something in the music, little things can work much better, because they are subtle. That is what makes maps interesting in my opinion. Constantly changing speeds or having really drastic changes can be "cool" but that's all there is to it. The playability suffers (though this can be intentional).
What I do agree with is that the base SV is too limited currently, and should be bigger, simply because of another issue and that is the BPM. There are songs which are very active and uplifting and yet their BPM is too low. There are songs with like 140 BPM which can easily get mapped with AR9 (and possibly with AR10, provided they are actually mapped like 280 BPM because it fits), and yet they can't get mapped properly without using a static multiplier over a base SV. This is a very rare problem, but it exists. 1/8 can easily exist in the music.
What I propose is that instead of changing a very logical rule, we just expand how multipliers work. Base SV should be able to go over 3,60 (possibly around 4.4 or maybe even 5) and the multipliers should be allowed to reach 0.25x and 2.5x. However, the usage of those should still be moderate, meaning that intentionally doubling SV and then halving it through the entire map just to get one 4x SV slider should not be allowed.
This will allow any kind of representation and I don't think you really need more. This can open enough creativity to create more different things (and things some people consider fun, I don't though) and yet it will still be in moderation. Changes don't have to be really drastic to work. We can always gradually work things out, just like some other rules have.
Though, this means that this becomes a feature request instead. The rules around this are perfectly fine, however the limitations seem outdated. This is why I suggest we don't discuss the change of that rule because it really makes sense, and instead focus on expanding the limitations of the SV itself.
