Standard to Mania Converter

A python script that generates osu mania maps from standard maps. The mania maps cycle continuously through the lanes. Hitcircles can either be turned into normal mania notes or into short holds of a set length.

Configuration

The first few lines of the script can be changed to configure the following options:

• mania key count
• length in beats of the holds that hit circles get turned into
  • 0 will result in normal mania notes
• starting column
• direction of the lane cycle
• whether to equalise all scroll velocity multipliers
  • the timing point multipliers are set to 1, but the base value remains.

Running the Script

The script requires only the python standard library (version 3.10 or above).

To run it via the command line, use

python mania-converter.py

By default this will convert all .osu files in the directory of the script. Other files can be specified with additional command line arguments.

-f specifies one or more file paths.

python mania-converter.py -f map1.osu Maps/map2.osu

-d specifies one or more directories.

The following will convert all .osu files in the Maps and MoreMaps directories:

python mania-converter.py -d Maps MoreMaps

They can also be used in conjunction, in which case the arguments passed to -f should be filenames and not full paths.

The following will convert all instances of map2.osu and map3.osu that appear in Maps, MoreMaps or their subdirectories:

python mania-converter.py -d Maps MoreMaps -f map2.osu map3.osu

If bash complains about an exclamation mark in a path, encase the path in single quotes.
