danser-go

danser-go is a CLI visualisation tool for osu!standard maps.

As danser is in development phase, some things may break. If that happens please fill an issue with as much detail as possible.

WARNING: Because of MacOS' poor OpenGL support, danser-go won't run on that platform. Please use dual-booted Windows/Linux instead.

Examples

• Omoi - Chiisana Koi no Uta (Synth Rock Cover) [Kroytz's EX EX] - TAG2 Mirror Collage
• Sex Whales & Fraxo - Dead To Me (feat. Lox Chatterbox) [extrad1881 (ar 10)] Mirror Collage
• Nightcore - Flower Dance [Amachoco ARX.7] Mandala Mirror Collage
• Flower Dance (osu! cursordance)
• osu! top 50 replays knockout | xi - FREEDOM DiVE [ENDLESS DiMENSiONS]
• osu! top 50 knockout | YURRY CANNON - Suicide Parade [Sakase]
• osu! top 50 replays knockout | Kobaryo - Bookmaker [Corrupt The World]

Running Danser

You can download the newest Windows/Linux 64-bit binaries from releases.

After unpacking it to your desired directory, you need to run it using launcher (using danser-launcher executable) or a command-line application/terminal:

Windows cmd:

danser <arguments>

Linux / Unix / git bash / Powershell:

./danser <arguments>

If you try to run danser (not danser-launcher) without any arguments there's a surprise waiting for you ;)

Run arguments

• -artist="NOMA" or -a="NOMA"
• -title="Brain Power" or -t="Brain Power"
• -difficulty="Overdrive" or -d="Overdrive"
• -creator="Skystar" or -c="Skystar"
• -md5=hash - overrides all map selection arguments and attempts to find .osu file matching the specified MD5 hash
• -id=433005 - overrides all map selection arguments and attempts to find .osu file with matching BeatmapID (not BeatmapSetID!)
• -cursors=2 - number of cursors used in mirror collage
• -tag=2 - number of cursors in TAG mode
• -speed=1.5 - music speed. Value of 1.5 is equal to osu!'s DoubleTime mod.
• -pitch=1.5 - music pitch. Value of 1.5 is equal to osu!'s Nightcore pitch. To recreate osu!'s Nightcore mod, use with speed 1.5
• -settings=name - settings filename - for example settings/name.json instead of settings/default.json
• -debug - shows additional info when running Danser, overrides Graphics.DrawFPS setting
• -play - play through the map in osu!standard mode
• -skip - skips map's intro like in osu!
• -start=20.5 - start the map at a given time (in seconds)
• -end=30.5 - end the map at the given time (in seconds)
• -knockout - knockout mode
• -knockout2="[\"replay1.osr\",\"replay2.osr\"]" - knockout mode, but instead of using danser's replays folder, sources replays from the given JSON array. Knockout.MaxPlayers and Knockout.ExcludeMods settings are ignored.
• -record - Records danser's output to a video file. Needs an accessible FFmpeg installation.
• -out=abcd - overrides -record flag, records to a given filename instead of auto-generating it. Extension of the file is set in settings. When the -ss flag is used, this sets the output filename as well.
• -replay="path_to_replay.osr" or -r="path_to_replay.osr" - plays a given replay file. Be sure to replace \ with \\ or /. Overrides all map selection arguments
• -mods=HDHR - displays the map with given mods. This argument is ignored when -replay is used. -mods=AT will trigger cursordance with replay UI.
• -skin - overrides Skin.CurrentSkin in settings
• -cs, -ar, -od, -hp - overrides maps' difficulty settings (values outside of osu!'s normal limits accepted)
• -nodbcheck - skips updating the database with new, changed or deleted maps
• -noupdatecheck - skips checking GitHub for a newer version of danser
• -ss=20.5 - creates a screenshot at the given time in .png format
• -quickstart - skips intro (-skip flag), sets LeadInTime and LeadInHold to 0.
• -offset=20 - local audio offset in ms, applies to recordings unlike Audio.Offset. Inverted compared to stable.
• -preciseprogress - prints record progress in 1% increments.

Since danser 0.4.0b artist, creator, difficulty names and titles don't have to exactly match the .osu file.

Examples which should give the same result:

<executable> -d="Overdrive" -tag=2 //Assuming that there is only ONE map with "Overdrive" as its difficulty name

<executable> -t="Brain Power" -d="Overdrive" -tag=2

<executable> -t "Brain Power" -d Overdrive -tag 2

<executable> -t="ain pow" -difficulty="rdrive" -tag=2

<executable> -md5=59f3708114c73b2334ad18f31ef49046 -tag=2

<executable> -id=933228 -tag=2

Settings and knockout usage are detailed in the wiki.

Building the project

You need to clone it or download as a .zip (and unpack it to desired directory)

Prerequisites

• 64-bit go (1.18 at least)
• gcc (Linux/Unix), WinLibs (Windows, TDM-GCC won't work, mingw-w64 is outdated)
• OpenGL library (shipped with drivers)
• xorg-dev (Linux)
• libgtk-3 and libgtk-3-dev (Linux)

Building and running the project

First, enter the cloned/downloaded repository.

When you're running it for the first time or if you made any changes type:

go build

This will automatically download and build needed dependencies.

Afterwards type:

./danser-go <arguments>

Running without arguments (as opposed in Running Danser) will give you the launcher, though you can't use drag&drop on the executable to preload a replay. If that ability is desired, build danser using dist scripts.
