Beatbox data compression utility

[qqwref]

I was bored so I made a thing. This takes FFR chart data and makes it really small (like 10% of the size). Press the right arrow button to convert and the left arrow button to convert back. Possible uses include storing a ton of chart data, or putting an entire chart into a forum post or chat.

This takes FFR chart data

wow thanks qqwref for providing a tool that literally helps no one

Re: Beatbox data compression utility

That's a bit harsh :P

Seems like a fun exercise in compression but I do agree with choof, a little superfluous... I can't think of a real reason I would use this over just dumping shit in Pastebin.

ty for posting it though, good to see you around and still making helpful stuff. I still use your frame viewer tool all the time.

can I do this with osu!mania files I want to turn Spy maps into a garbled mess

It works with other people's files too! I haven't figured out yet how to detect who stepped a file, but once I do, don't worry, I will make sure to have my programs throw an error on your charts.

Yeah, it's not the most incredible thing, I was just bored today and wanted to throw it together. The same idea can also store replays - it's even more compact than the R^3 notation - so in certain cases where you have to keep a ton of replay data (e.g. indeed/dragonsfury keeping all gameplays in a text file) this could help a lot.

Speaking of making useful stuff, I've actually been working on a somewhat secret project that should be very helpful and cool for a lot of people... don't wanna reveal any more for now though.

Re: Beatbox data compression utility

I meant that no one would be able to use it because it uses swf data and not sm data
who would have a feasible use for this
