I feel like it would work better if the objects kept scaling beyond the hittable time, or if that doesn't play well, should be a bit more easing as they arrive at the final location at least.

Looks cool, but sliders becoming a problem

sliders.mp4

And this is version with easing:

easings.mp4

However 3d effect isn't as pronounced anymore
May be easing as a setting will be a good alternative?

Can you try the first but reduce the amount of zoom as it gets closer to 1x? I think it's cool to have to follow the sliders while zooming personally, and if limited a bit more in scale it should still be playable?

Hmm. But what about if there's a very long slider which takes more than few seconds to complete? Should it have a different zoom speed or may be speed of all the objects should be adjusted depending on the longest slider duration?
Also in this case auto will be broken while sliders are moving so is its follow circle

[peppy]

Are you able to change long sliders to zoom slower than the "normal" speed, where normal speed is applied to basically every other object?

Here's what I have right now

Looks better

I dunno, this feels worse to me than not having it at all.

Personally I prefer my version more, but may be I'm just biased

[peppy]

My proposal was to only slow objects down when actually required (even if applied to all sliders to start with). I think not applying this whenever we can avoid doing so will make the visuals of this mod much better.

[EVAST9919]

Ah okay, we are on the same page then

[peppy]

Even better would be only applying when a slider gets "too long" (maybe too long for autoplay to hit it correctly with no autoplay path adjustment?)

[EVAST9919]

So I've made some changes. Now every object moves at a constant speed, except for long sliders. There's a check for how big it would become at the end time if allowed to move at a constant speed. If its scale will be bigger than 1.5 deceleration will be applied.
Generally works fine for autoplay due to followcircle being big enough for cursor to follow.

Looking very nice now, but looks like you'll need some special handling for stacking:

Maybe DP is better?

is there a specific reason you can't use Hidden with this mod? i use hidden all the time and it seems like it would be fun with Hidden

"Hide approach circles" setting is conflicting with the hidden mod since it always has them hidden.
And even ignoring that - objects are constantly moving, so with HD enabled it would be way harder to predict their placement at the hit time.

I wish Depth could combine with Transform, Grow and Traceable. But if the commands conflict with each other, ignore my suggestion.

I just want to praise the first half of this clip because it's beautiful.

Regarding the second half of the clip, when the sliders become longer and longer (like rockets), the visual position to aim also changes. I guess this is difficult to fix, so let's ignore it, because cs4 is still under control.
