Please zip your skin, but rename it to .osk. This will allow osu! to handle the file and automatically extract it to the correct place!

I doubt most of them will pay attention on this. MLGnom and Dragvon tried to tell ppl to do so. They failed :v

I think most people use winrar to compress/extract things, and one of the issues is that by default, when compressing, "RAR Compression" is usually selected instead of the necessary zip compression. rar is a proprietary file format, iirc, and is not as widely supported as zip. see http://puu.sh/mUvQ

But MLGnom made cool tutorials for "how to create .osk"

All what user will need to do, is just opening the file.
You need to create .osk (osu! skin) file. How to do this I have explained below.

Creating .osk file with WinRAR

Creating .osk file with 7-ZIP


In short : You need to create .zip archive and simply change extension to .osk


Maybe its better to let it here too...? Anyway, after editing X images, why not spend 10 seconds to convert it to .osk >_>

The skins on the updater are hosted on different places. User-created ones usually are on mirror sites / puush.

why not like this:
create the skin and use it in osu. -> then there should be an upload button, if YOU are the Creator, then it will be send to the updater, and everyone is happy...

and I ALWAYS use osk in My Skins, you dont even need an extra program, when you Have Win XP or newer and I think everyone has that...
even if it doesnt seem like it, I DO NOT MEAN ANYTHING THE BAD WAY!

well... this might be tough for newbies and interesting for experienced skinners...

but the great deal is the instructions... when they use a .rar format and change the file extension to .osk, their osu! skin that they made sucks because there are missing files...

master peppy (or us osu! players) must share this to the osu! skinning community about this... :)

but also nice would be that you can delete files which arent needed in the skin, like that there's a file in which are all the file names of the files to go away
