Timewarp no buffer option idea

Recommended Posts

@rumoi

Great job with what you've done already but I've got an idea, not sure if it is even possible tho.

Is it possible to instead of waiting on the menu for like 5~20 seconds (depending on the song lenght), the spectator could go into the spectator mode without delay but instead of appearing "Buffering (0%)" for 5~20secs at the start of the map it would appear "Host paused" for 5~20secs? Is there anyway to trick osu! to make that happen? Would be pretty cool imo.

 

"5-20secs" is just an example.

Would be obvious as well if u paused for 5-20 seconds at every song u play.

still way less obvious imo since people wont spec u for a long period of time

When a user have to wait 5-20 seconds, do my profile display that I'm playing, choosing a song or Idle?

Never tried to check with my other account but I guess it tells people that I'm Playing a song

Should be changed to display "Idle" or "choosing song" instead.

It shouldn't be changed to anything, if it's supposed to originally say that I'm playing a song, it should stay like that... Imagine someone decides to spectate me while I'm "Idle" and he goes into spectator mode and he sees that I'm paused?

 

But as I said I don't really know what it shows on profile when I'm paused on a song.

 

edit: englando

 

I think we are not on the same page tho, are you referring to what the spectator will see when watching me or when seeing the Profile things?

He won't see anything because as soon as his delay will end the text will change to "playing".

I guess you're talking about the profile? 

I think it never says "Choosing a song". only "Playing" "Idle" "Watching" etc etc

It only says Choosing a song when you're on spectator mode and the guy is actually choosing a song

I saw players with status "choosing song" and "idle" and "watching" and I'm talking about the status u see below the profile name in "online" tab in osu client.

Uhmm it's probably a cutting edge feature because I never saw that on stable, the "Choosing song" thing, but yeah

So... can you check what the status says when player has to wait? I don't have two PC's.

From my testing it sending the pause status is just weird, most people don't pause every map.

But most spectators don't really watch us for so long and I think it would be still better than appearing the buffering thing

For example if I get spectators they are usually my friends and if I "pause" they wouldn't really think about anything cheat related

Uhh it is much less suspicious for it to just be slightly delayed. Trust me.

The entire spectator system is weird and slight delays before opening a map happen in normal play all the time.

Pausing on literally every play would be extremely easy to notice and start comparing lengths (you can even internally calculate something is fucked its that blatant). The spectating client being delayed by an undermined amount of time at the start is how it will always be.

Exactly what I said, pausing on every song u play at the start is extremely suspicious.

Btw did you do something with the game crashing randomly with the buffering feature on?

Is your game still crashing randomly with it turned on.

So far so good. (no crashes)

Btw is it still possible to make an option so we can choose if we want the spectator to see "Host paused" instead of "Buffering" at the start? This way we could alternate between those 2 things

even if you can't swap between those 2 I would still like to be able to choose between both, somedays I would use the Buffering one somedays the Host paused one... so it won't be always the same thing idk

You do know it does not say buffering at the start right? Why would I add an option to make it say paused when what you are saying does not happen by default.
