I was going to make a Taiko Drum Master skin, but then I realized that'd be 3 skins based on Namco games in a row, and that would just be weird. So here's one based on a Sega Dreamcast game*

Screens:




Are people okay with the slightly different approach circles, or should I change them back to normal? I haven't been distracted by them, but I don't play crazy high level songs as much as some people do.
Edit: On second thought, if you have trouble with the approach circles in this skin, just go into osu/skins/amigo and delete approachcircle.png and it'll revert them back to normal.

Also, I hope you enjoy the spinner. :mrgreen:

*They're making a Wii version! Now I can actually play it!

Edit: Any chance that in future updates, I'll be able to skin the following? The numbers on the hit markers (I want to give them an outline, and while I'm at it I might as well make numbers that match the style) and also, the thumbnails that show up on the score screen at the end. They look very scrunched, and if I could make my own thumbnails I'd be able to adjust them to be clearer).

Haha, damn resizing algorithms. I'll consider this. Fonts is definitely deifnitely definitely on the list but just got other stuff to do first. Please understand.

Keep up the great work on these skins - you are seriously changing this game with their awesomeness! Also if you make me some nice screenshots that would fit on the about page (or videos) and match the same (full) resolution as the ones I have there, I'll add them in. Good to get more publicity about the alternative skins, after all.

Thanks! Yes, don't make it official quite yet. The Pac-Man skin got made official before it was finished, and now the old version overwrites my finished version every time I run the updater

I'd like to at least get a couple more opinions on the approach circle before I make a decision. Although I suppose I could just include both versions. In fact, now that I think about it, if someone were really troubled by it he could just delete that image and it'd be replaced by the default one... so I guess the skin is done. At least until I gain the ability to skin the font.

So in that case, go ahead and make it official whenever you want. But please replace the old Pac-Man skin with the newest version while you're at it

Oh, Peppy posted while I was typing. I'll see what I can do for some screenshots. I try to make them, but I can never seem to get a decent shot. Maybe I could set up a beatmap especially for skin screenshots

And no rush on the other features. I'm just listing thoughts as I think them.

I'll update it now ;o. You can change the folder name for the time being though, and it won't get overwritten (use this in the future, I guess)

Edit: hmm, pacman seems to be up-to-date... unless i'm missing something.

btw you should come on irc.

I didn't think of renaming the folder. I tried renaming the skin, so I don't know what renaming the folder didn't occur to me. It's not a big deal, though. I had already finished it and put it into a rar before the first time that happened, so I just re-extracted it every time it got overwritten. I would have been grumpy if I had actually lost work, but fortunately that wasn't the case.

You have a point. I'll keep that in mind in the future. At the very least, I'll post a sample image or two from the skin.




viewtopic.php?p=3341#p3341 This one? With the dark-outlined Pac-man, and the ghost scorebar? Osu still gives me an older version, with a non-outlined Pacman and the old scorebar.

It worked for me the most recent time I tried, plus, now the tweaks for the slider have been added, so it looks 400% more awesome. Also, as you can see, I've edited screenshots into the first post.

Edit: I forget which thread I'm in sometimes. Why are we talking about Pac-Man? Ah well. Added screenshots to this one too, anyway. And Cantabile as well.

Thanks for the compliments, everyone.

DD- if you start a thread about a Hamtaro skin, with some pictures and really specific suggestions for what makes what, then someone, maybe even me, might help with it. But I'm not at all familiar with Hamtaro, so I have no clue what would go into such a skin. And this thread is about crazy maraca-playing monkeys, not hampsters.

Okay, back on topic, I've updated the skin to include the new menu graphics and whatnot. I also changed the colors to eliminate blue, because while blue is pretty (especially cotton candy blue) Samba de Amigo only uses red, yellow, and green circles. New version attached.

Great work. I'm adding this to the updater for convenience!

Great skin, the only thing that would make this perfect would be if there were a circle around sliders like (most) other skins have. You know, the circle that tells you how far you can stray from the ball before it's considered 'out'.

If you delete sliderfollowcircle.png in the skin's folder, the standard one will show up.
