Improved Improved Mapping & 360 Degree

Added 2024-11-22 23:13:15 +0000 UTC

Hey everyone!

Sorry it's been a while. I've been busy with my classwork but I've been trying to use as much time as I could to experiment and train new AI's while I'm working.

Here are the improvements from the last mapping system

Headless chains are basically gone now - and chain positioning generally makes a lot more sense
Arc spam is greatly reduced
Enabling options like Chains and Walls will cause them to be used throughout the entirety of the map now. Previously sometimes it would choose to only use the feature once or even not at all
Decorative wall spam is back - except it is handled much more gracefully under the hood. This means that unlike the Legacy mapper, the model is much less likely to break when using wall spam.

I've also noticed that it learned to use the same note patterns for sections of audio that sound similar, which gives the maps much more natural flow (this doesn't apply over long gaps like choruses).

TopMapper can now also create 360 Degree maps! I've marked it as experimental because in some cases it places excessive amounts of walls which are nearly impossible to dodge or it'll spin more than 30 degrees at a time, disorientating the player. 360 Degree map generation is available to everyone, both free users and paid members.

Normally I'd list the things I want to add in the future here. I still have plans for updates, but I think it's for the best if I announce them when they're ready, not when I come up with the idea.

Thanks everyone for using TopMapper and supporting it! Of course, suggestions are always welcome below.
