Transferring to osu!lazer¶

Transferring game data from osu! on Vino to a local osu!lazer installation is currently not possible at this time, just it is likely to come in the future.

The reason is because the in-congenital "Import from Stable" buttons in osu!lazer use registry keys to determine where your install of osu-stable is (and obviously macOS doesn't have registry keys).

You should import your beatmaps and skins manually instead.

Experience complimentary to contribute though to the development of osu!lazer and go a custom install path function ready up.

Note

Technically, information technology is possible to transfer game data to osu!lazer, just there is no available end user solution at this fourth dimension.

jorolf'south osu-lazer-beatmap-importer allows you to nothing your osu-stable (under Wine) files and and then open up them with osu!lazer. Only it's Windows simply, and while I could probably make it work on macOS, similar virtually of the things in my life I don't have a lot of time on my easily right now.

If you're wlling to mess around a bit with some code, feel free to fork the repo (which is licensed under the MIT License) and work on making a port to macOS.

Transferring from osu!lazer¶

Transferring game data from osu!lazer to an osu! on Vino installation is currently not possible at this fourth dimension.

This is because the filetypes used by osu-stable and osu!lazer are very dissimilar.

(above) osu!lazer file directory setup.
(below) osu-stable fle directory setup.
yes I know I merely have one beatmap                                      .osz                                    in my stable install.

You should import your beatmaps and skins manually instead.

Annotation

Technically, it is possible to transfer game data from osu!lazer, just there is no available end user solution at this fourth dimension.

For someone who plays more on lazer than stable, having a beatmap importer that could import files from lazer to stable sure would exist useful!

And actually, that already exists.

Ringosham's Lazer exporter has a number of features that brand importing and exporting beatmaps on osu!lazer quite easy, including being able to consign Lazer beatmaps to .osz . Naisu.

Unfortunately, it only works on Windows, and while I could probably make information technology work on macOS, and as previously mentioned, similar most of the things in my life I don't accept a lot of time on my hands right now :(
