There's actually a small error in your *.ini explanations, MLGnom:

MLGnom wrote:

  1. ColumnWidth:50,25,30,25,30,25,30,25 – the widths of tracks. All numbers are separated by comma.
    Sizes goes from left to right. So if you changed special button position in 8k, you need to change it here too.
    WARNING! Use only 4 sizes for 4k, 5 for 5k, 6 for 6k, 7 for 7k, 8 for 8k. No more,no less than amount of tracks otherwise you will crash osu! when starting a map!
While this is correct on its own, you CAN add additional columns. Just remember that you need to add numbers to ColumnLine as well. The game only crashes if ColumnLine doesn't have exactly one more number than ColumnWidth.
Looks like this (8 columns in 7K mode, notice how the barline does not reach across the eighth row):

And a few missing functions of the *.ini:
ColourColumnLine: [color code with four variables, the last one being alpha] - Colour of the ColumnLines
Barline: 0/1 - Toggles the Barline on (1) and off (0)
ColourHold: [color code with four variables, the last one being alpha] - The colour used to tint the combo number when holding long notes (orange by default)

Tried ColourBarline, but it does nothing =(

First I'm correct about crashing game.
That what you showed is 7k+1(???) that was added today.
Game is still crashing when you do this for 8k and probably other .ini's. Or add more than that.

There was a lot of things changed/added in past 2 days (today including). I don't have time to do instant check/update tutorial and don't want to do this. Things might change tomorrow and that will require more changes in tutorial. Just wait until mania gets into pretty "finished" stage.

Oh, this one I'm sure that I have missed.

Will update it later, when more things will come.
Luna
Nope, it worked before the 7+1 patch (I'm not even sure what that's supposed to do) and you can do it to 8k and other *.inis (Up to a maximum of 10)
Proof:
;)

Ah, I see. But... aren't they useless? I mean notes do fall on those additional tracks?
Luna
No, they have no function but they are useful if you want to have the same 8 columns for every number of keys, so you don't mess up with the buttons all the time (left-to-right layout)

Mhm. I understand. Thank you for testing that.
Like I said, will make update later when more things will come. :3

Are you sure you're in the right thread? If you don't have any artistic skill, you're not going to be able to make a skin. And if you're talking about making an actual beatmap, please don't hijack other threads.
Trust me, I would never hijack a thread for that purpose.

I am merely implying I have no skill or understanding in how to create interesting skins that I could use in my beatmaps.

The simplest way is to just jump in. Take a skin like the template one, and try replacing the images and sounds. Try changing things in skin.ini and see what happens (lines beginning with // are comments, they'll be ignored by osu). Look at other skins and maps with skins you like and look in their directories to see how they did things.

Ok, something's gone wrong here:



Only my "default-0" is used in the combo number up top. The rest seems to be from the default skin!

MLGnom
Errr... Screenshot is not enough to tell what it's wrong, maybe post your skin here so I can test it. All I can tell now is that you could mess up with files names.

it's font combo related.
put in nK.ini and add FontCombo:score (as default the 'score'-value is read)
also it still buggy for me... as the current score-0 is not the fontcombo based but scoreprefix based. (in my skin bug thread)

[14:37:18] <+ReiUsa> woc, what is the 'customize combo font' support ? (just asking because the skin bug)

[15:24:54] <+woc2006> hi
[15:24:54] <+woc2006> just used as prefix for combo images.
[15:24:54] <+woc2006> combo-0 combo-1
[15:25:14] <+ReiUsa> is the prefix changeable in skin.ini ?
[15:25:32] <+ReiUsa> as the combo-X not exists but it loads score-X instead
[15:26:03] <+woc2006> never
[15:26:47] <+ReiUsa> testing with combo default score prefix now~
[15:29:33] <+ReiUsa> the combo-X doesn't work :( still using score-X anyway (except score-0 which still loaded as the ScorePrefix)
[15:29:39] <+ReiUsa> (details : t/101814&#41;
[15:31:19] <+woc2006> have you write ComboFont in *K.ini?
[15:31:30] <+ReiUsa> oh wait.. no..
[15:31:44] <+ReiUsa> orz ( i need the current template *runs)
[15:32:51] <+ReiUsa> ComboFont: 1/0/String ?
[15:35:12] <+woc2006> FontCombo: combo
[15:35:12] <+woc2006> then throw combo-0 combo-1 etc in your skin
[15:35:14] <+woc2006> or FontCombo : anywords
[15:39:31] <+ReiUsa> it works (but the problem when the fontcombo is not present, it loads the score- prefix which i think default but doesn't load the index 0)
[15:42:17] <+ReiUsa> (or even when the fontcombo is not present shouldn't it loads the scoreprefix as the default before score prefix?)

I read the FAQ but couldn't find the info I wanted. For OsuMania, is it possible to make the first four keys (left to right; not symmetrical) black, the next four keys white, and the last key black?

In any existing skin. Including template that you can download here.
Lou-kun
And how can I add it to my own skin?

Just find it inside of skin and copy it to your own. D:

each osu!Skin has its own skin.ini and can be found on the osu!Skin's folder.
e.g. C:/Program Files/Osu!/Skins/amigo/skin.ini (location varies on where you installed osu!)

Lou-kun wrote:

3 options

  • 1. refer to the default's skin.ini and tweak it.
  • 2. copy other's skin.ini and edit to your own preference
and the last... (this might be difficult)
  • 3. try freelance and start from nothing and save as "skin.ini" (just refer from the 1st post under a spoilerbox named Skin.ini for the codes)

Is there still no way to do this?

I would like to know too -- I want to make a pop'n music skin.

The graphic for the osu!mania button is special-mania.

how do you change the menu like that? i thought it is only working on the main menu??? what other screens can you set your own background? :shock:

while options-background.png is deleted from resource (replaced by menu-background.jpg) by peppy~
OsuMe65
inputoverlay-background.png must be constructed from top to bottom because osu! rotates it by 90° to the right. Or construct it from bottom to top and rotate the image by 180°.
