Added a BMS previewer for charters. You can access by going to https://bemuse.ninja/?mode=previewer. #747, by @dtinth

v52 (2021-12-twenty)

New stuff

HD-BGA support for BMS files. Bemuse now tries to load BGAs in BMS files when an .mp4 and .webm files are provided.

In prior versions, Bemuse did not support background blitheness (BGA) video for the BMS format, because most BMS archives at that time comes with low-resolution (256x256) video files. These files ordinarily use the MPG, AVI, or WMV format, which cannot be played on the web.

In 2016, the bmson project introduced recommendations for high-definition BGAs in bmson files. The specification recommended BGA files to be in MP4 or WebM format. These formats can exist played on the spider web and information technology is supported natively in Bemuse. And so since 2016, Bemuse supports BGA for bmson, but not BMS.

In 2018, beatoraja introduced back up for high-definition BGAs in BMS files. BMS authors can put bga.mp4 and bga.mpg files side-past-side and bga.mp4 file will take precedence over bga.mpg even if bga.mpg is specified in the BMS file (for backwards-compatibility with LR2).

In 2021, it is at present more common for BMS authors to distribute BMS athenaeum with BGA files in both .mp4 and .mpg format. Therefore, Bemuse now follows this behavior by beatoraja. #745, by @dtinth

Others

When playing in 3D manner (e.g. using a affect screen), performing a fast glissando betwixt 2 notes with i cavalcade of gap in-betwixt will no longer emit the sound of the gap. For example, given a note pattern one-3-five-seven, you tin swipe your finger from 1~7, and the game volition suppress the sounds of column ii-iv-6. This improves the playing experience in mobile devices. #546, by @dtinth

OGG back up is added to iOS and Safari, using @hajimehoshi'southward stbvorbis.js library to decode OGG files in-browser. This means that Bemuse no longer relies on proprietary audio file format (m4a) to function in Safari and iOS, and thus:
- Generating a Bemuse bundle is faster because m4a files no longer to be generated.
- Less disk space requirement equally but ogg files are needed.
- A Bemuse parcel can now be generated on Linux, due to proprietary tools to use Apple's m4a encoder is no longer needed.

New stuffs

Added five new songs and more like shooting fish in a barrel charts.

Improved mechanics

This game mechanics is now easier for beginners. For more information, come across the report "Easier timegates for beginners coming to Bemuse".

Internals

Updated the project's infrastructure (e.g. upgraded to latest version of React). Large thanks to assistance and feedback from @resir014!

v36 (2016-12-24)

A new feature arrived

Music previews. At present yous'll hear a preview while selecting songs!

v35 (2016-12-21)

Internals

Moved the music server. With 44 songs and counting, our music server now contains more than than 1GB of data. Since GitHub only allows 1GB, I need to notice a new home in club to release more than songs.

Now, the music server is hosted on a DigitalOcean droplet, with performance enhanced by CloudFlare.

The game itself is still hosted on GitHub.
Added Bemuse server tool.

v34 (2016-12-06)

New features

5-keys inactive column cover. This is the first pace to brand Bemuse more approachable to beginners. When playing 5-fundamental charts (marked with green color), we will cover the unused columns. We will exist improving v-keys support.
Expert judge. When proficient gauge is enabled, you volition see a approximate at the top of the screen. This brings a challenge — to finish the song with the approximate intact.

Improvements

Improved offbeat sound. When you lot trigger the note off-shell, the note would also audio off-pitch. @joezeng contributed a change which makes it sound even more jarring! Enjoy!!!!!!
Improved offline support. Nosotros've modernized the lawmaking for offline support a bit. This makes the beginning visit of the game faster.

v33 (2016-09-24)

More than features!

Play area cover. For some players, the play area may be too tall. There is now a new setting that lets you lot arrange the amount of the play expanse that will be hidden (covered) from the top (in percentage). If this number is negative, the play area will be pulled up.
Accuracy and precision in result screen. Nosotros at present brandish the accuracy (mean difference) and precision data (standard divergence) of the keypresses in the result screen.

v32 (2016-09-21)

Improvements to existing features

Improved game restarting. Based on the statistics in the past 3 months, 21.3% of game plays are restarts of the previous game. In this release, I make restarting easier in several means:
- Inside game, printing F1 to restart. This will immediately restart the game.
- Inside the result screen, click the chart difficulty push button at the elevation-right corner. This will besides immediately restart the game.
- Faster song loading when playing the same song. In Bemuse, songs are stored in a compressed format and take to be decoded before playing. In this version, Bemuse will temporarily store the decoded information, so that it will load faster if you play the same song again.
Custom BMS popup will immediately appear when a folder is dragged over the music selection screen. This should make playing custom BMS easier.

v31.ii (2016-09-17)

Improvements

Improved support for bmson BGAs in Bemuse servers.

Bugfixes

Fixed a bug where BGAs would brandish at an incorrect position in unlike screen resolution.

v31.2 (2016-09-07)

New features

Support BGAs in bmson files. In this version, there is a caveat when using BGAs in bmson file.
- Due to current Bemuse architecture, every chart in the same song shares the aforementioned BGA. It case of multiple charts with different BGA, the BGA of the song will be selected arbitrarily.
- Merely ane bga_event allowed, and it is expected to point to a WebM or MP4 file. Otherwise, the BGA is considered invalid and volition non be loaded.

v31.i (2016-06-30)

New stuffs

Added a home folio (which you tin see by scrolling downwards from the title screen). There are notwithstanding a lot of rooms for improvements. Think of this equally an blastoff version. Suggestions are welcome. :)

Internals

Improved analytics tracking to send more useful information. All analytics information are anonymous and are used for the purpose of improving the game.

v31 (2016-06-24)

Announcement of new stuffs!

Out of beta! I've shipped so many beta releases for a year now, and it needs to get out of beta someday… Since jumping major versions are pretty trendy these days, I decided to release version 31.
BGAs! On new songs, Bemuse will now display a 720p Hard disk background animation. Yous need a decent computer and a practiced net connection for this characteristic to piece of work smoothly. You can turn it off in the options screen.

Correct now, it is only available in online songs. BGAs in custom songs are non supported yet. Future versions will add back up for BGAs inside bmson files. BGAs are encoded in WebM format at resolution of 1280x720, at bitrate of 1500 kbps.
Auto-velocity! Bemuse now has the auto-velocity option which tries to maintain a consequent note scrolling speed across plays. This ways the game volition automatically adjust the speed modifier to match the annotation scrolling speed of the previous song y'all've played.

For example, if you played a 100bpm vocal at 4.8x speed, then if you play a 200bpm song, the game will accommodate the speed to 2.4x. You can actuate this feature in the options screen.
BMS Search Integration! Y'all tin can now go to BMS Search page for the selected song from the "Information" tab.
New Championship Screen!

Advanced and developer features…

Setting the default search text! BMS Search, a BMS database and search engine, has a very convenient link to Bemuse. Just you lot still accept to search for the song you desire to play. In this version, Bemuse supported the ?grep= URL parameter, which will pre-fill the search text.

For instance, this URL volition link direct to a song chosen "The Heroine Appears." in METTATUNES event server: https://bemuse.ninja/?server=https://bmson.nekokan.dyndns.info/mettatunes/&grep=the+heroine+appears
Adding BGAs in music server: Two new keys in README.md front-matter data is added: video_url which specifies the URL to a video file (WebM, 1280x720, 1500kbps) and video_offset which specifies when to start playing the video (in seconds after the song begins).

Internals

Modernized the codebase! The Bemuse GUI is now based on latest version of React. The web awarding has been aggressively refactored to utilize Redux (which leads to cleaner lawmaking and easier testability).

v1.0.0-beta.30 (2016-01-02)

New feature

iPad Pro back up.

Note: Bemuse is very RAM intensive. Before playing, please shut other apps and other Safari tabs, and set your screen orientation to portrait.

When I started developing Bemuse, I call it "a BMS player of the future." When the beta version was released, the game is barely playable on an iPad Air. Many songs crash the game, and other songs made the very game laggy (running at about 30 fps, which is unacceptable for such rhythm games). This is considering of the big amount of audio information, more than an iPad Air can handle (some song take more than than 1GB of RAM to play). I merely hope that a better tablet will be released in the future.

But the time to come is here. iPad Pro comes with 4GB of RAM and an A9 processor, the game can now procedure upwards to 200 fps. This is Moore's law in action. Although most application is allowed to access only 600MB of RAM, Safari does non accept this restriction. At that place is well-nigh no sound latency at all on an iPad Pro. This is the era for spider web-based applications!

(P.South. Bemuse likewise works on Microsoft Surface Pro (using Google Chrome), but it has very high audio latency.)

v1.0.0-beta.29 (2015-12-05)

Changes

Audio book normalization (online songs only).

The ReplayGain algorithm is used to normalize the volume of each song. From at present on, every vocal will have roughly the same loudness. Some songs are very loud. Equally a result, the volume of songs is decreased, on boilerplate, by fifteen%. This only applies to online songs, every bit the ReplayGain value must exist precomputed.

Bemuse music server authors: To normalize the sound volume, please specify the replaygain: key in the YAML front affair of your song's README file (example), then run bemuse-tools alphabetize once again.
Overall book subtract.

Some platforms (e.yard. Chrome on Mac OS 10) tin can process audio using 32-chip float format all the way from the browser to the operating organization. This means it'due south possible to take sounds playing in a higher place the full book without clipping if the system volume is decreased. Other platforms prune the audio signals that exceed the total scale as information leaves the browser to the arrangement. This ways the audio will audio distorted, even when the system book is decreased.

To resolve this, the overall volume is deceased. For online songs that have replaygain tag added, Bemuse will adjust the volume of the song to give around 6 dB of headroom.

For custom BMS, there is no precomputed vocal volume information. In this case, Bemuse reduces the song volume past -iv.ii dB (based on the result of BMS loudness study). This means in this version, custom BMS volition play at 62% volume of the original. I think this is good, considering this means less clipping and more than dynamics. Please plough up your volume!

Feedback is welcome! Please tweet to @bemusegame.

v1.0.0-beta.28 — Native gamepad/MIDI support, detailed accuracy report (2015-12-04)

New features

Experimental support for native gamepad and MIDI input.

A common problem with using keyboard and joystick-to-keyboard softwares is that the keypresses has to go through the operating arrangement's—then the browser's—upshot queue. In some cases, this causes input to be delayed (especially on a Mac when mashing many buttons).

Thanks to the new technologies in HTML5, Spider web Gamepad API and Web MIDI API, you should now exist able to play Bemuse with your game controller or MIDI controller without extra joystick-to-keyboard software. You'll need to set the key mapping before playing with your controller.

This technology is however very new and experimental, and support varies betwixt browser, OS, and controller. For instance, on my Mac, Google Chrome detects the DJ DAO controller but not the JKOC controller, whereas Firefox only detects the JKOC controller, but not DJ DAO. In short, it may not work.
Detailed accurateness report: In the event screen, click on the accuracy number, and a panel showing the detailed play statistics is displayed, including a histogram of accuracies, number of Early on/LATE hits, and other statistical information.

Other statistical information include:
- The mean which represents the trueness of your notation hits to the musical score.
- The Due south.D. which represents the precision of your note hits.
- The median which tin be compared to the hateful to determine the skewness (although non technically right).
What's new? Never miss out on new updates to Bemuse. When a new version is released, a "What's new?" bubble appears in the championship screen. Clicking on it will display the modify log.

Fixes

Fixed a problem where modifier keys (Ctrl, Alt) are captured by the web browser, and thus interrupting the game.

Internals

The custom automated test harness has been replaced with Karma test runner.

Follow @forgetalia for more updates.

New features

Eyecatch and background images are now supported for bmson files.
- If the eyecatch and background image is non specified (or using BMS files), Bemuse will try to load eyecatch_image.png and back_image.png.
Sharing on Twitter will now attach the server URL.

Improvements

Make the game brandish smoother in non-native resolution. Please play at 1280x720 resolution for best feel.

- info.resolution
- info.chart_name
- info.subtitle
- info.subartists
The following are Not all the same supported:

その他

Refactored the erstwhile UI data flow system (imperative <Binding />) into a college-lodge component. #211
Made the music-select-store lawmaking easier to understand. #211

v1.0.0-beta.24 (2015-xi-08)

Bugfixes

Fixed audio cutting problem when playing bmson files. In previous version, sometimes in that location'south a clicking audio at the end of a sliced keysound. Equally of writing, Google Chrome is non very authentic when information technology comes to playing and stopping sounds. I guess that it rounds to the next buffer loop before stopping. The fix is to manually stop the audio past setting fading its volume downward to 0 at a precise time.
Fixed graphics blending problem. Related issue: pixijs/pixi.js#2188

その他

Updated code style to use eslint-config-bemuse, which is based on feross/standard code way, but is less strict.

v1.0.0-beta.23 — view personal records (2015-11-03)

New feature

Personal records. If you are signed in, yous should be able to come across your personal record in the music selection screen.

This section is for developers

Node five. The codebase has been migrated to piece of work with Node.js version 5.
Hot Module Replacement. Developing this game will be much easier with hot reloading. It is now possible to tweak the user interface code and take the new lawmaking injected. See this awesome talk if you haven't.
Refactored online organization. The code for online system has been heavily refactored. It is very far from perfect, and we lose data caching ability (in exchange with simpler code). Caching (and cache invalidation) is a hard problem and would need defended effort to implement it in the right mode.

v1.0.0-beta.22: Faster loading and internal stuffs (2015-09-08)

This release contains mainly job work to the game's codebase and other small-scale stuff.

Improvements

Faster loading. Bemuse volition now download 2 package files simultaneously. This should result in faster package downloads.

Advanced stuffs

Let server query cord to exist used instead of the more verbose BEMUSE_MUSIC_SERVER.

Internals

The markdown parser has switched to use markdown-it library.
The markdown will be parsed like GFM, which means line breaks will create a new line when displayed.
Changed file names and CSS course names to exist consistent with JSX form names across the codebase.
The bmson related lawmaking has been moved to bmson project, to be incorporated into bemuse-indexer, and afterwards, bemuse-tools, in order to give bmson support to these tools.
Update isparta relying on a older version of webpack that uses an incompatible regenerator, causing build errors on the CI.

New features

v-keys BMS support added.

This release of Bemuse allows playing of 5-keys BMS files. 5-keys BMS charts are highlighted in green.

It is only basic back up, and the game will still display equally 7 keys. However, when 5 keys BMS is detected, we perform column adjustments based on scratch position, according to this table:

Scratch Position	左の皿	B1	B2	B3	B4	B5	B6	B7	右の皿
Left	◎	1	2	3	four	5			–
Disabled	–		1	2	three	four	5		–
Right	–			1	ii	iii	4	v	◎

As a upshot, these v-keys charts on the default music server becomes playable:

- 5 BUFFED
- v ENRAGED
僕たちの旅とエピローグ。
- normal
가짜/인형/술사/이야기

Internals

The JavaScript ecosystem is evolving fast, and nosotros need to go on updating our dependencies to the latest version, in order to reap the virtually benefits from modernistic web technologies. Notable changes:
- We migrated to Pixi.js v3, which should be "faster and better in well-nigh every way!"
- Babel, the JavaScript transpiler we use has been upgraded from ^4.three.0 to ^5.8.20
- And a lot of other dependencies.

The groundwork epitome has been moved out of the game layer, and is at present managed via the DOM.

New features

Online Ranking Arrangement! A preliminary¹ ranking system, powered by Parse.

Improvements

The Custom BMS dialog will at present popular up automatically when you drag something over the "Custom BMS" button in music selection screen.

¹ By preliminary, I really mean it. While it should piece of work fine, the online scoreboard organisation may need to get through several refinements. If necessary, the whole scoreboard may be cleared at any time earlier v1.0.0 last is released. Nevertheless, I would really love for you to try them out and give feedback.

v1.0.0-beta.xiii — Offline Back up (2015-06-18)

This release brings offline support (and other small fixes). Now you can play Bemuse while being completely offline.

New stuff

The sky groundwork has been removed from the bear upon gameplay screen. It has been institute to have caught frame rate drops in iOS.
Added a disclaimer when playing a non-official music server.
Fixed a issues where the game fails to load BMS files with special characters from the server. This is due to information technology not being properly URL-encoded, which makes files like #another.bms neglect to load. ddb13eb

v1.0.0-beta.11 — Custom BMS now supported (2015-05-18)

This release brings the custom BMS support, and other various issues fixes and improvements.

New big feature

Custom BMS Support

Nosotros are excited to announce that you lot can now play custom BMS songs in Bemuse, right in the browser.

For those who don't know what BMS is, it is a playable vocal format for rhythm games. Every yr, hundreds of songs are created in this format, and can be played in any BMS player, and Bemuse is simply one of them. You tin can read about the history of BMS from this excellent commodity, "What is BMS?"

Currently, we only support Google Chrome. In the music option screen, click on the Play Custom BMS push and elevate a BMS binder into the drib surface area.

Then the song volition exist added to the summit of the music list.

Now you tin can play that song similar whatever online songs! I recollect nosotros now really have a cross-platform BMS player¹.

その他

Fixed the problem where Bemuse refuses to read data from some music server. These servers written report that the metadata is but a "plain text data" (equally opposed to the expected "JSON information").
New songs are now sorted in reverse-chronological society.
Stock-still bug where some keysounds failed to load when filename has wrong capitalization (for case, #WAV Piano-001.ogg is declared where the actual filename is piano-001.ogg).
Subtle changes to how freestyle sounds (sounds played when pressing buttons without hitting a notation) are played. Encounter #186 for more than give-and-take.

^one As information technology has been pointed out, this statement isn't entirely authentic. Bemuse is non the outset cross-platform BMS actor. But to the best of our cognition, it is the first one that is readily playable without having to compile from source on non-major platform and offers native support for BMS. We apologize for any misconception.

v1.0.0-beta.ix.2 (2015-05-08)

From the play statistics, we accept seen that, after finishing the Tutorial, most people start playing the next song in the list. Unfortunately, information technology was a difficult song.

Starting from this version, the game will bear witness the song with lowest difficulty level outset. This should assistance yous find an easy song to play. Enjoy!

v1.0.0-beta.7 (2015-05-07)

Two modes

The game is split up into ii modes. Keyboard mode for beginners and O2Jam players, and BMS mode for existing LR2 and IIDX players.
