Set the notifications to email you and then use the app IFTTT (If this then that) and you can have it send you a push notification whenever you get an email. There is more elaborate ways to set it up using IFTTT but that would be the lazy way and would work well. Also, you can just have something like Gmail on your phone and that sends notifications when you get an email. There are lot's of ways to do it and I am sure if you try you can get something nice working with IFTTT.

After speaking with a mod and doing some research I believe that a pp category will be possible and I have started work on a bot for assisting it. The bot will be a while in development but as soon as it is somewhat functional I will make a separate post in these forums and put it on GitHub. I was going to make a fork of tillerino, however, that does complicate things a fair bit and although I may reference some stuff there every now and then I think making it new would be easiest (at least for me). If someone thinks otherwise feel free to make a fork of tillerino and adjust it for this project and we can try to merge what we have into something better.

There are a few things I am still thinking of and trying to work out but most of them can be addressed in another forum post once we have something going for that and a GitHub page. One thing that may not be able to wait so long is do I make this a server side thing or client side thing. There are pros and cons for each. If I make it server side then I will have to host 24/7 which involves me keeping my pc on all the time or paying for hosting. It does make it lots simpler and allows for some possible neat things to be added later. With client side it would be harder for someone to setup and use also may be less trusted given that it would still go through the irc chat so you'd need to supply your irc username and password. Pro would be that it is always up when you need it and at no cost to me except making the actual thing.

I suppose it can be switched to accommodate either or have the client one released as a backup but that is just one of the things I am still trying to work out on how to do this. I do think it is 100% possible though. (maybe 99%)

First, off I think banned% is a really bad idea since a) it's cheating b) it's multi accounting and c) it's promoting bad behavior.

BUT more importantly, we don't need to even ask peppy about the pp thing since you would not need to make another account. I was just thinking about this very thing whilst playing and recently I had started work on a bot for the irc on osu! and I was thinking now that we could just make a bot (like Tillerino) that can calculate how much pp something is worth. Now I know there is irc support but I am not sure if the bot would be able to spectate you and automatically tell you how much pp you would have gained, if so then we got ourselves a perfect way to do it. If not we would need to find a work around.

Basically what I am saying is we can make a bot that you can type commands to to start a run and it will automatically start adding up your pp and can even keep time for you. There is a lot of good things that could be done with it and would make speed running that category SUPER easy to get setup and do. Could even keep track of the records in case the mods of this game do not want to add this category. We do not really even need this page, it would be nice and all but not needed. (If this sounds like a good idea to others here I can start on it and make a GitHub page for it)

As the categories are right now I don't think that it would be a very good idea since the current categories are all about just finding the shortest maps and getting through them as fast as possible so the only hard part about the run is getting to the next song as fast as possible so adding a no mod category would only make the runs the same time but multiplied by 1.5 (since dt is actually only 1.5 times).

Perhaps if there is another category added which actually makes a run take skill then a no mad category would be a good idea. I saw some talk about fastest time to get a certain amount of PP which I am 100% in favor of and adding a no mod for that would be a cool idea but I haven't seen any mods actually comment on the idea or even show themselves for months so it seems unlikely. Hopefully, this will change since it would be a game I would enjoy running.

That's talked about over in this post: https://www.speedrun.com/osu/thread/9l4v8

I will copy paste what I put there in response to having pp based runs:

"

110% agree with this idea. Currently what we have for runs here is not skill based at all, it's literally just finding the fastest songs you can and then playing them and since they are all sub 30-second songs they are just super simple.

The issue is that helium has a point, it would be difficult to add up all the pp. You don't want to try to add it all up right there on the spot since you're speed running and gotta go fast. You could go back and look at all your plays and use Tillerino to tell you the exact amount of pp you would get from each play but then people could easily make it look like a play they had saved already was the play they did.

It could be done but either it would require the person to use a fresh version of osu! so it has no saved history or for HEAVY moderation, of which I don't see coming from this community as it stands since it seems the mods are dead since I don't see them talking anywhere on the forums here and I have had a run pending for a few days now.

I'd love to see it happen though and would be willing to help out in making it a thing if it's needed.

Sorry for the necro post but no one posts on these forums anyway. If ripple is not allowed then the rules should really be updated since this part:

ripple allowed (have to use ranked maps)

makes it seem like it is allowed. Could we make the rules more clear since I just wasted a hell of a lot of time doing a run that used a map that I now realized is ranked on ripple but not osu! official servers.

I feel the counter argument to what I am saying would be that it says "have to use ranked maps" but that doesn't state on which servers they are ranked and made me (and everyone watching my stream) believe that you are allowed to use maps that are ranked on ripple.

Edit: I removed my run since after doing some digging through the forums here I realized that I broke one of the rules that is SUPER unclear and should be fixed. I commented about it there and asked for it to be clarified.

Edit: Wording

Yes, that page is identical to the one I was on. But I believe the link I had had something on the end of it that I overlooked so it added it as part of a series rather than its own game. Since you said you haven't done it before I take it you wouldn't know how I can edit it. I wasn't able to find a way to do so when I looked. Should I just resubmit what I had with that link or wait for an admin to see it and possibly put it in its correct place?

So I went to request a game to be added to speedrun.com and my friend linked me to where I can request it so I typed it all in and hit request and then I see that it says it's Requested as part of another game. Apparently, the link wasn't for requesting a game but was instead for requesting a game as part of another. Am I able to go back and edit it? I am not seeing where I can do that. Also, where do I submit requests for a new game since that was clearly not the right spot?

Lol that's an interesting soft lock, may have happened from you killing them too fast.

Do we have to redo our runs or just adjust the time on them to account for the rule change?

When I saw that my 1st place was beaten I quickly went to watch to see how they beat it. I immediately noticed that their time on hero select started at 27 seconds when mine started at 36 giving them a whole 9 second advantage. I went into game to find a setting to change it but to no avail. I then decided to just try to beat their record even with them having an advantage. It then dawned on me that the game starts when you first start loading in and you only then join the game once fully loaded. Becuase of this if you have a worse computer that loads in slower you get an advantage in this speedrun because the rules state that the time starts on hero select but the amount of time you have to wait there depends on how fast you load in.

I propose that the time the counter should start should either be moved to after hero select so at the start of the time you are stuck in spawn or even earlier like as soon as you hit start game. (I feel after hero select would be the most fair to everyone and have the least variability)
