This is actually a minor bug. If you really need to fix that, just make those 3-4 pixels transparent from above (leave it's actual size).

Can anyone help me here? :P

when I create a png image with illustrator, lets say a mod icon, there always seems to be a weird white pixelated border around it when i eventually use it in game..
Do I need to change the dpi resolution? any colour settings? I dont really know much about this stuff

I can post some screenshots if anyone wants to see once i get back home!

You should rather toss in a skin element in particular that has this issue.
Topic Starter
MLGnom
Hmm... There were few cases where this happened. I think it's something with saving options or picture itself. When I opened one with GIMP and just saved, it still had some white pixels, but way less (after coping picture into new image and saving it, white pixels disappeared). So you should check your settings, but to be honest I don't know what is causing this. :/

I think i got it fixed! but thanks anyways :)

Are you sure, that you haven't changed one of these in skin?
mode-mania-small
mode-osu-small
mode-taiko-small
mode-fruits-small
Because I don't see any of this on your "selection-mode".
You could make something that I'm doing often, taking one random part of skin and rename it to other to test if it work or where it's used.

I'm pretty sure that i didn't touch to those part.
This skin is still normally before the biggest update that changed whole default skin.
Also, if i used those part with new default part skin, nothing happen.
I can upload whole my folder for testing.

When a beatmap uses old spinner files partially, it uses some of your old spinner files instead of new ones.

Make sure that you haven't made mistake with naming. If you have only up to combobursts-8 then you have a mistake in name of comboburst-9 (if you do, anything after it won't load).
Just make sure you haven't add any additional space in name or made typo somewhere.
Will3x_old
why is this happening ;_;




normal hitcircles are fine btw !
Topic Starter
MLGnom
Probably you have them incorrectly centred. They are in the same position so hitcircle looks good, but slider is slightly off.

Post hitcircle and it's overlay so I can be sure. ^^;
Will3x_old
okey :)

note: this overlay is a bit different (bigger), but the same result in the end anyways..

Ah, so this was for HD. @2x always should have double size of normal size part so default hitcircle have 128x128px, @2x MUST have 256x256px. This is a reason why people should also add SD part.
Your parts had 249x249 and 242x242. It was simply too small for slider.
So I have fixed your issue by changing canvas size to 256x256 so should be good now. :3

This is your problem with "taiko-roll-middle@2x.png".
You remembered about size for @2x but you simply forgot to make this thing larger, just duplicate layer and move it to the right.

Btw. Great skin. You are going to release it soon?
If I can suggest you something, fix score numbers a little (overlapping is bad :<). Set in skin.ini "ScoreOverlap: 1" to 0 or even better if you can, add 1 or 2px of transparency to your score numbers on both sides. ^.^

Here's how the mania.ini values are used.

Sorry, my mistake, value range should be 0 to 460.

It works now! Only problem now is that the notes aren't lined up properly with it. At least I can tweak the slider to fix that problem. Maybe not, my idea backfired lol.

Yeah the score numbers need to be spaced better. I can't even begin to tell you how many times I redid those numbers for little changes so I'm more or less not in the mood to deal with them right now. I'll do it at the end of everything lol.

I'll have it fully released when I'm certain it's done. As of right now I have it available for my fans that want it but with a "beta" disclaimer lol. Since I'm here may as well ask something unrelated to skinning. I was using puush for file uploading since it seems the friendliest but I hit the limit on it. Mediafire has a really nice space but I'm not sure if it'll work for everyone? I'm not sure if that site may be blocked in some areas or just poor in general. Am I good with using MF or should I look for another site?

I would recommend you dropbox. Descend space available, uploading from pc and you can even replace file without changing links (as long as file name is the same).

Probably you want to use other new skin behaviours together with old spinner behaviour yes? Right now, you can only choose between full old skin behaviour and new one. But who knows maybe we will be able to set some options in nearest future?

Wait...with a bit of skinning someone easily could make the new spinner "old-style". Like...setting all 3 (or 4) layers together and using the glow (after editing) as spinner-metre...wouldn't be that hard to do.

yep, default skin != template skin. The new life bar's behavior wouldn't work on custom skins, that's why.

So, time to start making an update! A slow one…

[1.] Introduction – Will contain needed things to start skinning and both templates (old and new) to download.
Yes, you need something better than paint

[2.] Skinning Basics - this part will contain REAL BASICS of skinning like : “What is skinning” “How to install skins” “Type of skins that people like/prefer” “Which parts can be animated and how” “Difference between old style skinning and new one” and other general informations that should be here.
And of course information about why nobody likes your skin!

[3.] Skin.ini – Will be the same as it is now. Probably I might do a little clean up.
In other words, "how to mess up your skin"

[4.] Standard mode skin parts – This will be the largest part of tutorial. I will divide it into 2 parts :
New style skinning and old one. Old one will contain all standard parts and information about them. New style will contain only these that have different behaviour and parts from old one.I might include some tutorials how to do nice things, same as I have added tutorial how to crop characters to use them as combobursts etc.(Still, I need to remade it)
Nothing to see here, move along!

[5.] osu! Catch the Beat parts - well, not much too do here since nobody plays CtB.
(teehee, just kidding) : Information about skinning fruits and catcher.

[6.] Taiko parts - Same as standard ones. Information what can we do with them, what we shouln’t and why is so HARD to find fully skinned taiko…
Because nobody cares to do it okay?!

[7.] osu!mania – 2 parts : General skinning of this mode and second one will be detailed description how [X]k.ini file works and what we can do with them.
Why do you even need tutorial for this… just port skin from other game!

[8.] Sounds! – rarely(or sometimes) made by skinners, maybe because there is lack of proper tutorial how to make them…
Stop looking at me! I will do this. :<

[9.] Creating .osk files - a few words about how to make osu!skin files.
Because zips and rars are bad okay?

[10]. Uploading screenshots and skin itself onto file sharing sites. Generally I will create mini-tutorials for dropbox, puush and mediafire.
Others file hosting services are bad! And you should feel bad!

[11.] Creating nice and friendly skin threads – Few hints how to make your thread more pleasant to viewer.
Posting “Hello there, I made a skin. Here, download it at xxxxxxx. Ok, thx, bye.” is bad for health.

Clean list without crappy spoilers.

[3.] Skin.ini – Will be the same as it is now. Probably I might do a little clean up.

[4.] Standard mode skin parts – This will be the largest part of tutorial. I will divide it into 2 parts :
New style skinning and old one. Old one will contain all standard parts and information about them. New style will contain only these that have different behavior and parts from old one.I might include some tutorials how to do nice things, same as I have added tutorial how to crop characters to use them as combobursts etc.(Still, I need to remade it)

[5.] osu! Catch the Beat parts - well, not much too do here : Information about skinning fruits and catcher

[6.] Taiko parts - Same as standard ones. Information what can we do with them, what we shouln’t and why is so HARD to find fully skinned taiko…

[7.] osu!mania – 2 parts : General skinning of this mode and second one will be detailed description how [X]k.ini file works and what we can do with them.

[8.] Sounds! – rarely(or sometimes) made by skinners, maybe because there is lack of proper tutorial how to make them…

[9.] Creating .osk files - a few words about how to make osu!skin files.

[10]. Uploading screenshots and skin itself onto file sharing sites. Generally I will create mini-tutorials for dropbox, puush and mediafire.

[11.] Creating nice and friendly skin threads – Few hints how to make your thread more pleasant to viewer.

Anything missed?
