You can use 72 dpi as your image resolution [that's the web image resolution] to maintain a low memory space but still, a good looking element

just a question, i see there can be more than 1 comboburst.png image andthey are named comboburst-0.png, comboburst-1.png, comboburst-2.png etc. Do i have to specify in the .ini file that the skin uses more than a comboburst? Can combo burst images be slected randomly when performing a combo?

Here's all the stuff I have in my skin.ini that works (I think I gave up on animationframerate and sliderballframes though). There is a toggle for random combo bursts, and you don't have to specify # of images in the skin.

Note the underlined stuff. I just found it today.

You don't need to specify amount of comboburst. If you want to randomize combobursts add this to [General] part in skin.ini .

@MLGnow: how about play-unranked.png?
here's the picture:

I have got a few questions;

Where am I supposed to post a new thread with my new skin? Somewhere in Skinning?
Secondly, is there anything forbidden to post? I suppose things that are related to blood or R-18 or something? Are there any rules on what can't be posted? (Just asking whether skins based upon characters from Fandoms are okay or not xD I wouldn't want to get banned or something from osu! for such stupid thing.)

A few notes;
Pause-overlay has to be a .PNG file, it didn't work with .JPG for me. May not be correct, I dunno.
In Skin.ini, the SliderBallFlip works exactly the other way around for me, when it's 0, it flips the sprite.
As for SliderBallFrames, I tried editing one theme and it automatically took the sprites I added, without the need of editing Skin.ini. Not sure about that though.
Further, SliderStyle does nothing for me (I added it and made sure to put it under [General]).

Thanks for any help with that! It would be pretty wonderful.
I'vegot 50 files out of 160 done already, maybe I will have finished it by the end of the next weekend! ^^ seriously doubt that though ahaha;;;

Btw seeing how many people ask about Skin.ini, you should maybe put it into the tutorial too x'DD
Oh and Kiai time is misspelled as Kaiai somewhere there. (Skin.ini spoiler, StarBreakAdditive is the exact place.)

1. Just create new thread in skinning.
2. Yes, don't post anything that contains nudity or any explicit continent. Ecchi is fine but you should give a warning in your thread. About blood, please don't post guro. It's should be somewhat safe. (we have already skin that contain "blood" but this kind is okay).

3. Pause-overlay must be .png like other parts of skin. (Exception are beatmap skins where you can have backgrounds as jpg).
4. Are you sure it's flipped? Please test this sliderball (added skin.ini with it). I don't know why you have differently.
5. SliderBallFrames will affect speed of animation of sliderball.
6. Are you sure you don't have "OpenGL" or "low end PC" turned on in options? Because of OpenGL skins will have forced sliderstyle : 2 and only style 2 and 3 will work.

Skin.ini is inside of every skin, also in template, so no need. :3c

Damn it. Don't know why I called it "Kaiai". Corrected. D:

1,2, Thanks for helping!
3, I didn't notice almost all the files are PNG xD Sorry about that.
4, The thing you sent me did work the correct way; However. In the template, when set to 1, it works. In an edit I made from template, it works the other way around (it is flipped horizontally when set to 0). I didn't change the SliderBall sprites anyhow yet though, so I don't know what it might have got influenced by. (In case it's needed, I can send the theme so you can see yourself.)
5, Hmm I see, thanks~
6, Aha there's the problem. I am using OpenGL because it runs smoother and doesn't give my computer BSOD as much as the other option (more like it does not do that at all.) It is kinda irritating with a longer hold and welp how to play it (I couldn't see the exact way it went) >_> But oh well I can't do anythign about that then though. Thanks!

As for Skin.ini, yes I know, but better add it in the first post so people won't ask about it xD
Once again thanks for all the help! ^^ In case I would need any help I will come and ask. ^^

Topic Starter

By default they are used as "Hitcircle numbers".
But if you have edited where they are used , they won't be changed.

This is default part in skin.ini
[Fonts]
HitCirclePrefix: default
HitCircleOverlap: 3
ScorePrefix: score
ScoreOverlap: 3

By editing it in this way, hitcircles will use score numbers instead. (or vice versa)
[Fonts]
HitCirclePrefix: score
HitCircleOverlap: 3
ScorePrefix: score

That's why sometimes you should use template skin.ini instead of ini from any skin.

Well, yes, I know I can create them myself, but I like to copy the basic shape of it. It kind of feels, well... more similar than the shape I'd probably use (like I usually make buttons with straight lines). But well what you said is apparently the only way to do them C:

I don't think it's possible in Beatmap skin, however better wait for a response from MLGnom or OsuMe65.

However in the skin as a whole, you can change it in skin.ini. (Which is missing in skins just for specific beatmaps.)

You can only change the text colour. Menu-button-background.png is coloured into white, blue, red, pink, or orange via reducing the RGB channels. Red, for example, is achieved by removing the blue and green channels. You can use this to make different colours, but many colours are just not possible.

I think there was a topic about this, but I don't remember if peppy was against about changing these colours. But I think he wouldn't like to change them. Yeah I know it doesn't help anyway...

Doesn't seem like anyone knows of this one: options-background.png


The image I used is 1100x780, and I can't be bothered to find the exact size...

well... if you mean the droplets between the fruits, it is called fruit-drop.png. it comes along with fruit-drop-overlay.png (if i'm correct...) for a stylish look...


but if you mean something else, then i don't know...
Don-Tan
yeah thx that was what i meant XD

What point in the image do you cut off the top so the image won't overlap the black bar on top?
Don-Tan
you have to include the black bar on the top cause if you don't add the black bar osu goes LSD XD

options-background.png example without the black bar on the top:

i hope this could answer your question :)

you can exclude the black bar if you take the risk of this "LSD"
if not, then use a black bar

Is the black bar a separate skin element? Or is there a point in your background image where you need to manually cut off and make your own bar?

... No... The bar is part of options-background.png, and it should be around 85 pixels high.

Ehh... I was hoping for someone to explain this instead of me... but I see I must do this.
So let's begin.

1. So "options-background.png" doesn't have constant size like spinner-background or anything else in gameplay. What I mean? That you must remember about people that use different aspect ratio : 16:9, 4:3, 16:10 etc.
So if you are going to add it to skin and release, remember to add different sizes of this for different people.

2. Simple example how it's look for me as I'm using 4:3 (1280x960).

3. "But the tabs looks bad!" - Don't worry, these tabs are 83px lower than top of the picture.


4. So let me show you quick example how could it look if you want edit it.


So basically you should use size 1024x768 or 1024x600 but this is up to you.

Don't make it transparent because things will mess up!

any size is legit enough for a basic design... even it is 16:9, 4:3, 16:10 blah, blah, blah... (i used a 1366x768 options-background)




but for images, one size is no good

EDIT: thank you, MLGnom for a wonderful explanation... :)

Create new image file in size that you use, save it as options-background.png and add it to your skin.

I need to waste time to explain you this geez...
Yes I know it's work for basic patterns. But people need to know if they are going to use for example a picture...


Dark_Ai
yehah!
Thank you :3 But it look like a bit weird. wrong size damn ;w;

look a bit strange :(

That's what I was talking about. Better to use same size as your osu! resolution. Try doings 1024x600.
Dark_Ai
that what happen =w=

Oh geez... It's looks like that options-background can only have constant 1024x768 size... If you do larger (or wider for widescreen) it will always take 1024x768 of the picture and resize it. So it won't work well on widescreen.
Dark_Ai
okay :(

for a fixed image (like anime), it's not really legit to have a single sized image...
:(
i'll just keep it simple...

yeah and i tested it before leaving home...
:D
too bad it's not legit... that image is ruined... :cry:

On a somewhat off-topic from options-background (thanks A LOT for the info though!), do you think positioning the ranking like this looks weird? ->
I personally think it looks neat but other people's opinion are always great! :D


edit: Oh well regarding the options-background, what is recommended size/how can we add more than one in? :?
edit2: Oh actually nevermind about the recommended size or whatever at options-background. Taking a picture you want, resising it to 1024x600 and then stretching to 1024x768 works wonderfully for me. That's probably the best actual way how to do it. However again this way will only work for people who play on 1024x600 (that would be widescreen if I am correct).
