Polish Translation

Polish translation is not updated to latest strings, so you'll see the English translations at some part. This will be updated once the translation has been updated.

Windows Notice

Due to new way Live Simulator: 2 is packaged, you have to grab v3.0.0 win32 zip first, which includes all assets necessary to run Live Simulator: 2 v3.0, then download the new livesim2.exe below (rename it to livesim2.exe), overwriting the ones that are in v3.0.0. This particularly save bandwidth for me and for anyone else.

Live Simulator: 2 v3.0.0 "Time Lapse"

Live Simulator: 2 v3.0.0 "Time Lapse" update.

Changes from v2.1.2

Sorry if there are changes that is not listed in here. The reason is because Live Simulator: 2 v3.0.0 uses "Async" architecture, while v2.1.2 uses "AquaShine" architecture.

• Added ability to fail live (off by default). Can be changed in settings

• Added ability to change note appearance, either hidden note or sudden note.

• Added ability to change unit keymapping setting.

• Added ability to invoke Live Simulator: 2 with specific command-line options.

• Added ability to change score/tap

• Added ability to change timing offset like in SIF. This is different from beatmap offset, where the latter shifts the beatmap time.

• More note style combination to choose.

• Changed rendering mode to render audio at 48KHz instead of 44.1KHz

• Replay feature. You can see how yourself perform by saving the replays and vieweing it later. Replays can be transferred over different machines.

• Revamped settings user interface

• Revamped change units interface

• Live performance graph on live clear.

• Simplified Chinese translation.

• Polish translation.

• Slovak translation.

• Removed support for SIFs beatmap.

• Fixed stamina always 45

APK Notice

I can't test if the APK works under ARMv7 (32-bit) phones. I don't have such device anymore (emulator being wonky for some reason). Please confirm this.

Live Simulator: 2 v3.0.0-beta3

Changes:

• New note management routines. Rewrite timing system, now according to this post.

• New splash screen

Live Simulator: 2 v3.0.0-beta2

Minor changes. Now use LOVE 11.1 for Android to fix some live related issues which can't be fixed by modifying livesim2 code itself.

Changes:

• Fixed long note not resetting combo properly on good/bad.

• Increased pause hitbox range (SIF UI).

• LOVE 11.1: Fixed love.graphics.setCanvas failing randomly (causes tap icon to disappear in livesim2)

As usual, APK can be found here.

Windows zip file now contains icon builder, so no need to download it separately now.

Live Simulator: 2 v3.0.0-beta1

Wait, what? Where's v2.2?

The Live Simulator: 2 Icon Builder (ls2ib-win32.exe) is a Win32 application. It allows you to create new units which can be used in livesim2 "Change Units" menu. You need the existing livesim2 v3.0.o-beta1 DLLs to run the application (placing it beside livesim2.exe will work).

Live Simulator: 2 v3.0.0 1st Release Candidate

A complete rewrite. There's simply too many changes to write on.
