@edit
It's solved already i put signature link instead of input

I think this would be less confusing after labeling links as source and output

Hello, your URL is wrong, it's supposed to be http://givenameplz.de/osu!Post/input.php?u=2426596.
Input is the place you send your data to, signature itself is only for showing your signature.

Edit: I see you fixed it, yes.. thats why I did this open beta.
I will most likely change osu!Post to only ask for the name / ID and the key, that should make everything easier
(And will still keep an option fo those that only want to use osu!Post for their own server.)

Please keep in mind that osu!Post is not auto updating yet, this will be made available in the next version, so keep an eye on this post from time to time.

Time for Good-to-Haves. It maybe a little early to consider these ideas since fixes always come first, but it doesn't hurt to mention them before I forget:

Signature Gallery
Are you considering having a Signature Gallery? A separate page where a visitor can browse and view signatures from all ed s, presented similar to p/friends.

Waifu System
Two ed s can add each other to have their avatar displayed as "Waifu" or "Married to" in the signature.

Sure always go for it, the Gallery is planned at some point.. about the Waifu System, huh.. haven't thought of anything like this, but will write it down for now..
P.S.: I saw your other post, will improve most of the sections as stated.

maybe it's because i'm using osu!test...

btw i waited untill the middle of the song...

osu!Post performance update, it should also work with the testbuild now.

You should change the updater language. It's german right now
Edit: New build asks me what I want to do with the signature.php (it wants to save it as an image)

I'm having an issue getting the osu!Post program to go through Norton 360 Anti-Virus. Is there anything I can do to fix this and/or just avoid ing osu!Post all together?

Pretty damn cool system you got, loving it already! Would love to see font options in the future.

One thing to fix is this gives me extreme fps lag when I use it, so i will abstain for now.

Alrighty, will look into all of it after work.
(This is why its called Beta~)

More font options like adjusting the glow and such will be coming soon, about the fps lags, thats rather interesting, please pm me with closer information about when it happens, for example, only if post is enabled or all the time and so on. (Also some PC specs if possible)

@All: Thanks for reporting.

Seems i've fixed the lag by updating my graphics driver and net framework, working fine now!~

Error message in German

This is an annoying one, as its not supposed to happen.
Its a message from the component I am using (experimenting with) right now, this should hopefully be fixed within the next version.

(I usually suppress those pop-ups and output them in the log.)

Edit:
I also updated to a new version, this should fix a few things, I'll rework the update process after this version, changes only take place when you manually restart at the moment.

Edit2:
Will add the ability to adjust the glow color on the website later.

Awesome project! Awesome Idea!

When I open osu!post

(We discussed this on PM, if there is someone else with that problem:)

This is a problem with an old build of osu!Post, this is fixed already, updating and then restarting osu!Post will take care of it.

After leaving osu!Post on for a long time (12hrs+) yesterday, it was somewhat un-responsive when I tried to turn it off. I finally managed to turn it off by unchecking "Enable post" and "Show preview output" but my sig has been displaying "Online" since last night.

The log mentioned a certain error that "you would love to hear" so I'm posting it lol

Screenshots

The texts are a bit hard to read because the screenshot was taken when the program was busy.

Memory usage just before I killed it:

Alright, thanks for posting. I think I know whats causing this, I will start some more long term tests later.

Edit: Should be fixed with the version. I will also add options for text alignment later at some point. (eg. left align, right align or centered between two points, like the name is now.)

I sneaked in a few options for the custom signatures a while ago and also improved a few things in the background.
Everything should be explained if you hover over the tags under "About the positioning values:"

Some new things are:

1. Adjust glow colors.
2. Adjust status output slightly. (Hide your name and only show "[Online]" or "[Offline]".)
3. Adjust map data ouput slightly. (Actually not really worth mentioning, but you can hide the "Playing:" label.)
4. "Save & Preview" button. (You can also see your ed picture correctly now.)

The tags for the output adjustments are named full_output right now and can be set to either 1 (on, full output) or 0 (off, slightly altered output).
(I might rename those tags in the future, but this won't cause any problems, so don't worry.)

Access them here by pressing on the "Configure" button in the "Custom signature:" section.

Tried two minutes ago dont work for me.

I am already aware of that problem.
This problem will be fixed within the next update, thanks for the report.
(Release within the next days.)

Ok thanks I will be waiting for it.

Released a new version containing mostly fixes and performance updates.
As said, this should fix the "exception problem", if its still consistent please drop me a post or a PM.
(I also changed the auto updating to be more efficient.)

Get it here or simply run your osu!Post and restart it after the update.

You might wanna add a version/build number somewhere now

Working now.
Thanks

eto... how to change the background?

R-A-I-N wrote: 2j6o10

eto... how to change the background?

First go here.
There you can select a template one or create your own from scratch and it with the button below thats saying Configure in the section Custom signature:.
By editing the number values in the input field you can change the output positioning, for more information about the values, hover over the tags above the input field there.

Edit: @Oinari-sama you can already see it in the very first [Info] output, but I will put it somewhere else as well.

ow thank you
ps: why you not add ability to start automatical when startup or when i open osu! lel

Also my banner doesn't update but I guess these issues are connected. What to do?

There is currently a problem for those playing osu full screen. The banner shows your Online/Offline status, but does not show song info. This is related to a fix in the latest osu update:
I believe that givenameplz is working on a solution at the moment. For time being, those affected can try using borderless instead (which still displays song info through your signature).

Hello,

as Oinari-sama said, due to the new osu! patch, you are not able to send data when playing in fullscreen. You can use a workaround and play in borderless window mode, simply uncheck fullscreen in your osu! options and choose your desktop resolution.
(Please bear in mind that this might cause different behavior on some machines, performance wise.)

I will write more about this later, when I find the time to do so.
(I am also looking for and working on alternatives.)

However, Stefan's case might be a different problem, if you may, please PM me a screen of your running osu!Post application (and maybe information about your PC).
I will you when I am home.
(Please also make sure that osu!Post is not blocked by any firewalls, but under any circumstances, do not disable the firewall completely. You wouldn't detach your door if you only want to let one of your friends inside.)

Maybe you should make an arcadey style signature. Just sayin.

I can't seem to get it working

Problem has been solved, simply run the application and let it update, then restart it. Everything should work after that.
Thanks for the report.

I've been using this for awhile, and I all I can say is that I love it.

Just wondering if you ever have plans to add status updates for people that are "Editing" or "Modding" maps as long as it has an ID?

Lanturn is [Online]
Modding:
EBTC - Billow on the Eternal Peak [Hard]

for example.


Regardless, if you can actually do this or not. This is still a wonderful little program. Thanks :3

Sorry for the late answer.
I am not able to access this data, I also can't say if there will be the possibility in the future.
But thanks for your , its very much appreciated.

Greetings,

just a short update.

I've been working quite a lot on osu!Post for the last weeks and think its now ready to move out of "Open Beta".
The website is fully functional, new features will come in over time.
(Website contains a "News" block for changes regarding the website)
The application itself has been reworked aswell to fix most of the performance issues, not many changes in the design of it but other than that the background stuff is all new.
The next thing is to fix up the application documentation again and after that the documentation for the website.
(Stuff like outgoing data and such might be interesting for people that send data to their own servers.)

If there are any issues or requests, feel free to drop a message.

P.S.:

Am I the only person having trouble customising the signature?

The "Save & Preview" and "Save & Exit" doesn't seem to be working for me. Changes I made just seem to be lost after hitting those buttons.

I've already tried clearing browser cache and cookies but it doesn't help. Just wondering if it's a stand alone case...

Greetings!

You need to an custom image for that.
Its not intended (and possible) to change the template signatures.

I looked into it, your custom settings are fine, but as said there is no ed image.

P.S.:

The thing is though, I did a custom image but the buttons "ate" it:


Very weird...

EDIT: Wait... I was derping hard today. Was trying to a JPG all along orz
Is it possible to return an error notification when a a non-PNG in the future?

I see, this will be fixed in the future, I plan to remove the "only PNG-restriction" soon anyways.
Thanks for pointing it out.

Awesome, going to use this 4evur

Would it be possible to have mapImage be resizable like Avatar? I'd like to be able to make it smaller than 160x120.

Thanks!

Sure thing, will be done either today or within the next days.
If you have any other requests, just throw them out there.
I also consider, as I said somewhere before, to add custom fonts if there is a demand for it.

Edit:
You can now set the width and height for the mapImage.

Thanks for the quick reply! I'll be sure to let you know if I think of anything else.

Glad to help and no problem, atleast now you know.

Compiling the PMs:
.net Framework did the trick again.

this helped me a lot thank you

This is awesome =w=

Greetings.

Short update.
I found some time for fixing the fullscreen problem.
If you want to play in fullscreen, you need to enable the MSN integration inside osu!.
osu!Post will still work without doing this, but if you want to play fullscreen and post your full "Now Playing" information, you need to do this.

Great!!!!!
Thanks~!

I'm confused on how to customize your own signature?

Greetings!

First you need to here, if you scroll further down past the templates you'll find a Configure button, inside the Custom signature box.
Go there, after that you can your image and customize it with the values in the textbox below, a little documentation about the values is in the About box, accessible by hovering over them.

Done.

I reworked the config site a little, Custom Signature is now on top and the Customize button will only show if you actually ed an image, the customization has also been improved quite a lot.
If you got any on that, feel free to drop me a message.
I will add the Font Selection feature soonish, same goes for the Rank Display.

(As stated in the main post and on the customization site, things will more likely be added if there is a request/demand for it, so if you need a feature, you know where to drop the message.)

can you add "kristenITC" font pls

Sure thing, already done.

On a side note:

Idk what to do
Its could be problem of my "cleverest" head.

Greetings!

I am not sure if you still got the problem, as your posts seem to work now.
If you still got trouble, feel free to me via PM.
Keep in mind that you need to enable the osu! MSN integration if you are playing in Fullscreen mode.
But as I can see on the Screenshot this is not the case, so this shouldn't be the problem.

Looks like osu!Post couldn't recognise the running osu! instance, in rare cases if osu!Post is at fault restarting osu!Post helps.

Found a strange phenomenon, not sure how to reproduce it but I'll leave it here for the record:

I usually start up osu!Post, then manually start osu afterwards. Been doing this since early beta and had no problem at all.

Since a few days ago, I noticed these "strage" extra db files appearing in my osu folder:


...and my Collections isn't saving at all. After fiddling around and brainstorming tonight (thanks to Nathanael), I realised that something else is accessing osu!.db and that forces osu produce a dump instead of writing out the normal osu!.db file. I closed osu!Post before starting osu and that fixed the problem. I can have osu!Post running again and manually start osu just like before.

The problem simply went away and I'm unable to reproduce it again. I'll stick to my usual routine and report back if the problem returns.

Strange, I am not even putting locks on it when reading the .db file.
I can't really reproduce this, but I will investigate if osu!Post is the cause and why.
And for the collections, I am not touching them at all.

I will keep an eye on this, if there are any more reports about this feel free to PM me or drop a post here.

How to costumize the signature?

OMG it was really Cool

really nice program ^^

Its a good project and I like it. ;D

• Suggestions

1. Add the Visitor font (commonly used on signatures).
2. Allow s to use separate images at online status (online/offline).

didn't saw that, lol.

A little suggestion: delete the cache after every hour.
Since a lot of people do long play sessions and they play lots of beatmaps, sometimes the cache of the app becomes very high, and sometimes I see in the task manager that osu!post uses even more RAM than osu! itself.
So, my suggestion is to delete the cache hourly.

Awesome :p

I will consider this, but I need to rework some other things first. (This is on my list, actually.)

Greetings!

I just added two new features.
I'll just leave them here.
And also a list of things I currently work on that will most likely come up next.
The customization interface will get a rework again soon, now that I added three more boxes its getting pretty crowded.
If there is anything else, as always, feel free to tell me.

Nevermind what I said, the problem here are the new changes in the .db file of osu!.
I'd recommend switching to osu!StreamCompanion if you don't want to wait for the osu!Post update.
(Baiscally the same tool with additional functions and fully included osu!Post .)
I will update osu!Post itself within the next days when I get to do it, it will automatically update when you start it up then.

Just ed the fix for the new .db format, finally got around to do it.
There might be some "follow up"-updates, but osu!Post will automatically update like always, so don't worry about it.

If there are still problems, feel free to leave a post or write a PM directly.

P.S.:
Thanks to SlasherZX for testing a few things.

thnk you very much

looks very interesting

osu!Post no longer seems to detect when I'm online. Not sure if anyone else is having this issue or if it's just something on my end. If it is on my end, I'm not sure what could be causing it, as everything seems to look fine. No errors in the logs either.
