OSR Replay Loader

This package aims to provide a simple way to load and parse Osu! replay files.

Heavily inspired by the node-osr package, this package is a rewrite of the original code to use modern JavaScript features, provide a more flexible API and introduce TypeScript typings.

Currently a WIP for writing a replay, however the reading and parsing of replay files is functional.

My main motive for writing this package was to fetch beatmap data using a replay file for my Discord replay renderer bot. The Danser CLI tool is a great tool for this, but it needs local access to the beatmap files. When writing a public Discord bot, it is unfeasible to have the whole Osu! library loaded for each renderer worker. I also wasn't satisfied with the lack of TS typings for replay reading packages, so I decided to write my own!

Features

• Read and parse replay files into a plain old JavaScript object
• TypeScript typings
• Async and promise-based API as standard
• ESModule based
• Fetch and parse beatmap data from the Osu! API using the replay file
• Write and create replay files

Does it support Osu! Lazer replays?

This package can parse Lazer replays, but a couple of fields might be populated differently compared to Stable replays. Here's a list of differences:

• lifeBarGraph is an empty string, using this field will be useless
• mods will only show stable mods, not lazer mods
• numberOfGekis will be 0
• numberOfKatus will be 0
• score will use new Lazer scoring system
• Custom gamemodes not found on stable are not supported
• And probably more... But for the most part, Lazer replays work well enough I think.

When I learn more about Lazer replays, I will update this package to support them better. Surely the extra Lazer data is in the replay file (as Lazer itself loads it), I just need to find it!

Install

npm install osr-loader

Usage

import { Replay } from 'osr-loader';

const replay = await new Replay().readFile('your_replay_file.osr');

console.log(replay.data); // 🪄
