Short summary
I have written a program that takes an existing beatmap difficulty and creates a new difficulty which is either faster or slower. The user can decide exactly how much faster or slower the new map will be! The program even automatically converts the audio file to fit the new difficulty and speed.
Why is this useful?
Do you like changing the tempo of your favorite beatmaps, but DT/HT is too fast/slow?
Do you want to become a faster player?
By changing the speed of a beatmap, you can fix these problems!
Info
Some of you might remember Hydria's Osu!Mania Rate Changer from 2 years ago. When a friend told me the program didn't work for him and his other friends because of some bugs, and that the program has not been updated for a long time, I decided to remake it completely from scratch! It now supports all game modes and even converts audio automatically, although it's pretty slow (~1 min per beatmap). Hopefully, this will make this useful program more accessible for everyone. I even uploaded my code to GitHub, in case anyone wants to peak at or even improve the code.

How to use
1. Extract files, open the release folder and click the "rateChanger.exe" file to open the program.
2. Click the "choose files" button and locate your Osu songs folder.
3. Find the map and diff you want to convert (you may select multiple) and confirm.
4. Write what new tempo you would like to have in the "rates" box. If you want a song to go 10% faster, write "1.1". If you want it to go 10% slower write "0.9".
5. If you want to make multiple rates, separate them with a ";". For example, if I want both a 1.2 rate and a 1.3 rate, you should write "1.2;1.3" in the rates box.
Optional:
6. If you would like the pitch to get higher or lower when changing the tempo of the beatmap, uncheck the "keep the same pitch" box. (Think night-core mod)
7. If you prefer to generate your own audio file with Audacity or another program, uncheck the "convert audio files" box.
8. Press "Start Conversion" button and wait for the program to finish. It usually takes around 45s for each rate, but might take longer if it's a long map.
9. Restart Osu, or press f5 in-game to see the new diffs!

- Fixed bug where conversion might break if there was a space between "mode:" and the value.
- Fixed bug where conversion might break if there was a space between "previewtime:" and the value.
Version 3.1
+ You can now create marathonmaps! Put your rates or normal maps [1.0x] into one big difficulty!
- Fixed a bug breaking the program when map had no background image.
- The program now avoids generating new files when they already exist. [1.0x] audio files for example.

- Redesign of user-interface
- You can now queue up songs!
Version 1.0.1

Version 0.5.3
