A customized osu! mode surrounding a paddle and some notes. Original credit to the idea belonging to pizzapip.
We have prebuilt libraries for users looking to play the mode without creating a development environment. All releases will work on all operating systems that osu! supports.
Since version 2020.429.0 The installation method has now changed and is much more consistent than the old method. If you wish to see the old method of how to install this ruleset the please expand details below.
Old method
On Windows, the library must be put in %localappdata%\osulazer\app-(Current osu!lazer Version), inside the directory of the current osu!lazer version. osu!lazer will automatically work with the .dll when you open it, so nothing else needs to be done.
On Linux, you will need to extract the app image with the following command line:
./osu.AppImage --appimage-extractThis will extract all files to squashfs-root, in this folder go to usr/bin and put Tau's dll there.
On macOS, the library must be put inside the osu!lazer app contents here osu!.app/Contents/MacOS/
You can access the app contents by right-clicking on osu! and clicking "Show Package Contents"
From the osu settings menu scroll down till you see Open osu! folder, that button should take you under %appdata%/osu.
Copy the ruleset file into the rulesets directory, do make sure that duplicate copies of the ruleset is overwritten.
Once done, restart osu!lazer, if lazer is already open. Once lazer is started, you should see the ruleset alongside the standard rulesets on the toolbar at the top.
When developing or debugging the tau codebase, a few prerequisites are required as following:
- An IDE that supports the C# language in automatic completion, and syntax highlighting; examples of such being Visual Studio 2019 and above, or JetBrains Rider.
- The osu!framework, and osu! codebases are added as dependencies for building
You are able to clone the repository over command line, or by downloading it. Updating this code to the latest commit would be done with git pull, inside the tau directory.
git clone https://github.com/Altenhh/tau.git
cd tau[SECTION WIP]
All contributions are appreciated, as to improve the mode on its playability and functionality. As this gamemode isn't perfect, we would enjoy all additions to the code through bugfixing and ideas. Contributions should be done over an issue or a pull request, to give maintainers a chance to review changes to the codebase.
For new ideas and features, we would prefer for you to write an issue before trying to add it to show the maintainers.
