Importing beatmaps and skins¶

This article is applicative to the following wrappers:

Note

osu!macOS Agent can automatically move beatmaps and skins from your Downloads folder. But brand sure to enable the checkboxes within osu!macOS Amanuensis settings. More than data available below.

Importing beatmaps and skins¶

Importing beatmaps into osu! is quite like shooting fish in a barrel, and there's a number of ways you can get this to work with your osu! Wineskin.

Using osu!macOS Agent¶

You can accept beatmaps automatically moved from your Downloads folder to osu!, with the help of Technocoder'south osu!macOS Agent program. To enable this:

  1. Open osu!macOS Agent

  2. In the General tab, locate the Location: field. Make sure this points to your osu! install (e.g /Users/Adrian/Desktop/osu!.app )

  3. Enable the following checkboxes

    • Automatically move beatmaps from Downloads

    • Automatically move skins from Downloads

You tin can besides enable

  • Automatically open replays from Downloads

  1. Exit osu!macOS Agent running. The next time you download a beatmap from the osu! website, it should automatically move to your osu! wrapper. Then simply hit F5 (beatmaps) or Ctrl-Alt-Shift-S (skins) to refresh.

Drag and driblet¶

You might also exist able to drag and drop beatmaps and skins into osu! directly. In my personal feel this simply works with Technocoder'due south Wineskin with macOS Catalina 10.15 back up.

If osu! is full screen, yous can use Mission Control (F4 central) to switch between windows.

Click to import¶

You can set up osu! to automatically open and import a beatmap or pare when you click on information technology in your Downloads binder or web browser.

  1. Download a random osu beatmap or skin (and get the osz file)

  2. Right click on osu!.app

  3. Click Show Bundle Contents

  4. Navigate to drive_c/osu!/Songs and drag & drop your osz or osk beatmap into there

  5. Become back a few folders until you accomplish Wineskin.app, and click to pen it!

  6. Click Avant-garde. You lot should see a screen like the i below

Wineskin options showing Associated Extensions.

Note the Associated Extensions department. If the osz2 , osr , osz and osu extensions aren't in that location, add them using the + button.

To verify that this has all been set up correctly:

  1. Click Tools, so click Command Line (cmd). A panel-like should open (information technology takes a while tho)

  2. Type explorer.exe

  3. Navigate to My Computer\osu!\Songs in the window that appears and locate the osz beatmap you but dropped

  4. Right click on the file, click Properties and verify it worked. It should wait like the image beneath.

Note

This method tends to exist more unreliable than the others listed and you may experience varying degrees of success.

Transmission import¶

To manually import a beatmap into osu!, follow the following instructions:

  1. Observe your Songs directory

    • Locate where osu!.app (your Wineskin) is installed

    • Correct click on information technology and select Show Package Contents

    • You lot should now see three files/folders: Contents , drive_c and Wineskin . Click drive_c .

    • From here, click osu! .

    • From here, locate Songs

Tip

You tin can create an alias or shortcut pointed to your Songs directory, in somewhere handy like your Desktop. Then you can rapidly access the folder whenever you want to drop beatmaps in.

To create an alias, click on the Songs folder, then go to File > Make Alias - so put this alias somewhere where yous tin can easly access it.

  1. Notice a beatmap on osu.ppy.sh. For this example, we'll use Ryofuka's crossing field.

  2. Just like you would ordinarily, click the Download button to download the beatmap.

  3. You should now have a .osz file in your Downloads file. Drag and drop this file into the Songs directory we located before.

Tip

To avoid potential import bug, remove any non-alphabetical characters (numbers and hyphens are fine)

Note

Aye, my beatmap folder is very empty (just yours won't be! Unless it is, of course..)

  1. If you don't accept osu! open already, open information technology now. Then in-game, press F5

Note

Unless you have function keys enabled, you may need to press the Fn button at the aforementioned time.


Employ F1, F2, etc. equally standard office keys

  1. Locate where osu!.app is installed

  2. Right click on information technology and select Show Package Contents

  3. You should now run across three files/folders: Contents , drive_c and Wineskin . Click Wineskin

  4. A window like the i below should popular up. Click Advanced

Wineskin settings.

  1. Click the Options tab

  2. Select Use F1, F2, etc. as standard function keys


Tip

You can do all of this while leaving osu! running open in the background!

A note about importing skins¶

Importing skins is largely the aforementioned process, except instead of the Songs directory, apply the Skins directory, and to reload osu! utilize Ctrl-Alt-Shift-Southward instead of F5 .

You tin can so select your skin every bit normal from the osu! in-game settings card.

Note

Treat this every bit if yous were working on a Windows system. If the skin is compressed, you lot'll probably need to uncompress it. You can utilise something similar The Unarchiver or even your in-built Archive Utility to do this (though Archive Utility might not take so much fun with .rar or .7zip files)
