Lynium 2.3.3: suggested beatmaps, a new HUD and a new logo

2.3.3 suggests beatmaps you don't have right in Song Selection, puts the new logo in the game, lets a chart change tempo, redraws the in-game HUD and makes every key yours to bind.

IMPORTED MAPS IN SYNC

Set your offsets back to 0.

• ADJUSTED TIMING: every imported map got an offset adjustment, so its notes land on the music.
• NO MORE NUDGING: a map that used to need an offset to feel right no longer needs one.
• OUR ADVICE: set GLOBAL OFFSET to 0, and BEATMAP OFFSET to 0 on every map you had changed.
• WHEN TO CHANGE IT: you normally only need GLOBAL OFFSET for wireless headphones, or a TV without game mode.

SUGGESTED BEATMAPS

Songs you don't have yet, right in your list.

• SUGGESTED: a few sets you don't have sit among yours, each saying why it was picked.
• TRY IT FIRST: select one to hear its song and see its chart and its leaderboard.
• PLAY downloads the set and starts the chart, without leaving Song Selection.
• MORE LIKE: the suggestions closest to the selected set sit right beside it.
• LIKE HOW? Pick Chart style, Song style or Theme style from its title.
• OTHERS deals you a fresh batch.
• WHY THIS ONE: "Electronic Jumpstream, like your top plays", or a mapper whose maps you play.
• YOUR CALL: mixed in, in blocks or only beside the selected set, from Settings or Filters.

THE NEW LOGO

• THE MARK: the triangle turned 15°, with a soft glow and LYNIUM set in a new typeface.
• EVERYWHERE: the welcome, the loading icon, the game's icon and the website all wear it.
• BEATMAPS BUTTON: the rainbow ⇒ the logo's red, violet and cyan.

TEMPO CHANGES

A chart can change BPM now.

• BEAT LINES follow every tempo of the chart, in the run and in every preview.
• THE BPM reads as a range, like "100-200 (mostly 100)", wherever a chart shows it.
• FIXED NOTE SPEED ON, the default: notes fall exactly as they did.
• FIXED NOTE SPEED OFF: a faster section spreads its notes, the genre's standard scroll.
• IMPORTED CHARTS: only the longest tempo ⇒ every tempo change comes in.
• GIMMICK MAPS scroll as fast as they do in the genre's standard.
• SONG SELECTION keeps its pulse on the beat through a tempo change.
• THE EDITOR: Timing Points has a Tempo tab to add and edit tempos, with Adjust notes.
• SNAPPING follows each section's own beat in the editor.

THE IN-GAME HUD

The Classic look, redrawn.

• SCORE AND COMBO in gold, pp and accuracy on glass plates at the edge.
• HEALTH is a white line, and the timing bar a hairline with ticks that fade.
• THE KEYS TO PRESS: names printed across the receptors ⇒ keycaps under them.
• IT ARRIVES with the song's title card, each piece from its own side.
• JUDGEMENTS glow in their colour, and JUDGEMENT TEXT → ORIGINAL brings back the flat word.
• NEW IN SETTINGS: COMBO TEXT, HEALTH BAR (top, left or right) and HEALTH BAR THICKNESS.
• TIMING BAR WINDOWS draws each judgement's window behind the bar, and EARLY / LATE names its ends.
• YOUR SKIN WINS: a skin that styles the HUD keeps its own look.

AFTER A RUN

• RANK UP: a card with a list of names ⇒ one big number rolling up to your new world rank.
• THE PODIUM lands in gold, silver or bronze, and a rank lost rolls down in red.
• PP GAIN: what you earned, and a bar with what is left to pass the player above you.
• FIRST PLACE: a crown lands on the #1 and names who you took it from.
• TOP PLAYS cut in or climb to their place, with how few runs were ever worth more.
• DAY STREAK: a flame lights the day, with today's Lynium Points and what tomorrow pays.

CONTROLS AND SETTINGS

• EVERY KEY IS YOURS: the seven keys of a run ⇒ 66 actions in Settings → Controls.
• MODIFIERS: a binding can use Ctrl, Shift and Alt.
• NEW SHORTCUTS: F1 opens Mods, F3 the filters, and Ctrl+O opens Settings.
• KEYBOARD ONLY: the arrows and Enter walk every menu and window, from launch to results.
• SKIP INTRO has its own key, Enter by default.
• VOLUME follows Alt and the mouse wheel, as in the genre's standard, and Ctrl still works.
• ONE KEY BACK: each action has its own arrow to its default, and Pause can go back to Escape.
• INTERFACE has its own page in Settings, ordered by screen.
• TITLES AND ARTISTS: ROMANISED or ORIGINAL, to read 大正浪漫 as it is written.
• PP is always magenta, whatever accent you pick.

SONG SELECTION

• THE LEADERBOARD fits the rows it has and leans 5° like the logo.
• IT BUILDS ITSELF out of triangles when the screen opens, and slides on every change.
• SEARCH BY WHAT IT IS: "anime opening", "vocaloid", "japanese" or "demon slayer" find what they mean.
• EVERY CHART FROM DAY ONE: new players saw only charts under 2.2 stars ⇒ a set shows all of them.
• SHORTER NAMES: EZ 4K ⇒ EZ, when the keymode tag already says 4K.
• RIGHT BUTTON SWEEP: hold it over the list to jump anywhere in your library.
• FILTERS STAY: favourites, played, types and genres survive a song until you close the game.
• KEYMODES IN ORDER: a set lists its difficulties fewest keys first, each with its keymode tag.
• RIGHT CLICK A SET'S HEADER for a menu that acts on the whole set.
• SCALE X AND SCALE Y stretch the chart preview on each axis.
• THE MUSIC BAR: the cover's most saturated pixel ⇒ the colour that fills the cover.
• A CLICKED CHART loads its song and its board at once.
• LIGHTER: the board and the wheel do a fraction of the work they did each frame.

PLAY, PAUSE AND RESULTS

• CHANGED YOUR MIND? Esc on the loading screen takes you back to Song Selection, and no play is counted.
• THE PAUSE folds its quick settings and beatmap card away, and background blur is now among them.
• RESULTS: hover the band to compare each judgement on Lynium Classic and on the preset you played.
• LOWER MUSIC WHEN UNFOCUSED: the song drops to 20% while another window has focus.

ONLINE AND HOME

• YOUR STATUS: click Online under your name for Do not disturb, AFK or Appear offline.
• AFK turns on by itself after ten minutes idle, outside a song.
• STEAM AND DISCORD show your status, and when you are in the skin editor or Settings.
• HOME shows the latest Discord announcement and Steam news above Featured, each hidden by its eye.
• SPECTATE: the card draws the player like every profile, with rank, pp and flag.
• REPLAYS say whose run it is, in the band and on the results.
• BEATMAPS: right click a row to download, preview, play, send it in chat, share it or hide it.
• THE CHAT dims the whole screen, down to the music bar.
• GENERAL: the main chat channel now has the name it has on Discord.

SKIN EDITOR

• OPACITY: a row of its own ⇒ beside each colour's hex.
• CLICK A NOTE to open ALL NOTES, or a lane to open its NORMAL colour.
• DEFAULT draws its lane edges at full width in 3D.

BUGFIXES

• Skipping the intro clears the song's title card off the lanes.
• Spectating or watching a replay, the in-game ladder shows that chart's board.
• Zooming the beatmap editor no longer flattens triplets onto the grid.
• A hold's end cap draws over its body, like its start.
• MASTER VOLUME reaches every sound, the editor's video preview too.
• The bell opens over the pause, and closing it with Escape no longer resumes the song.
• Mods and the chat close on a click outside them.
• Clicking a number in the skin editor edits it.
• The skin editor no longer hides every lane after you leave the beatmap editor.
• Loading more of a leaderboard no longer repeats its first rows.
• A reply no longer cuts off the quoted player's name.
• The comment box stays shut on an unpublished chart.
• Settings no longer draws the controls playfield behind its card.
• The music bar's volume keeps the song's colour after a run.
• Graphs draw smooth lines, and the note density no longer zigzags.
• Clear filters also clears Types, and the count reads "12 of 340 beatmaps" while filters are on.
• A set downloaded while the library loads shows up at once, and the Types and Genre filters find it.
• Turning the volume no longer scrolls the list under the pointer.
• A set handed to another mapper keeps opening and keeps its plays.

WEBSITE

• THE NEW LOGO and its icons are on the site.
• TEMPO CHANGES: a chart shows its BPM range, and its preview draws each tempo's beat lines.
• STATUS: the dots on profiles, rankings and chat show the status a player picked in the game.
• SIGNED OUT, a song plays a 30 second clip, and signing in plays it whole.
• LIGHTER PAGES: covers load at the size they are shown.
• PROFILES open on the board where you rank highest, and name it beside your grades.
• MORE INFO on a beatmap page: where the song comes from, its language, the chart's details and its history.
• SEARCH finds a set by its anime, game, language or genre, here and in the game's Beatmaps browser.
• OLD SPEED MODS read as the rate they played at, like 1.50x.
• Difficulty names drop the key count beside a keymode tag, as in the game.
• A run cleared at 0% shows NA, as it does in the game.
