It's probably Hard to doing the Countdown Stacked like that... Is It from A Skin or Something, If Yes.... Link from the skin that has the Stacked Countdown please? (For further experiment, since this is the first-time I seen countdown like that :roll: )

oh... And one thing

So, with this you are able to create many different countdowns. But you need to remember about how they are layered. Count 3 is always on top, count 2 is behind and count 1 is covered by them. So it's kinda impossible to make stacked countdown (you know numbers that appears on previous one).

Hi, I'm editing image and sound files in a beatmap, so it's generally making a skin just for the beatmap but not the entire client. I want my custom cursor to stop spinning because it's ruining the effect. I didn't want to make a custom skin in the skin folder, but I learned if you make your own, you can turn off the rotating cursor, but when I do that other things change against my will.
If you are making skin for beatmap, you won't be able to do much. Skin.ini is used from your actual skin and if someone other plays your beatmap, most likely that person will have their own settings.

Making stacked countdown is actually possible. But only with selected "New skin behaviour" option.
Countdown starts from centre and 3,2,1 appears one after another.

(Remember guys that I still haven't completed update... (Lack of free time ;_;).

I changed the images for the countdown, but a stacked countdown was the default on my osu client when "osu by peppy" skin is selected. All my countdowns are like that unless I change the skin..I am not going to distribute the skin I'm making, it's just for personal use and for a few friends on a beatmap created by someone else so it's not like there's a link for it on the internet. But thanks a lot for helping.

Thanks, checking the "new skin behaviour" option made it stack correctly once again. I'll just have to put my skin as the beatmap's preferred skin and send it to my friends and ask them to check that box too. I know they don't use any skin other than the default so it won't be a problem. Thanks a lot, you both helped me a lot.

I still have a lot to work on for my skin, so if I run into any more problems in the future I'll be coming back for help. Thanks!

Hey, i'm just here to talk about my skin project (with my bad english). I want to make the perfect skin, the most readable skin, for skilled gamers. So, what I did now condensed in a video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjLbCv_sLsA

Remember that's just a prototype. So, I'm here to ask you what I should do next, to collect some advice :)

People's tastes are too subjective to really make a "perfect, most-readable" skin. Just for example; I wouldn't use a single part of that skin. :P

You should really aim to make a more distinct skin rather than just a generic 'pro' skin, since they all end up looking like the same 2-3 skins.

I'm converting to new behavior skin, but this happens when I finish playing a song ONLY:


(The Retry button isn't supposed to be all the way there..)

I've already tried increasing canvas width, but that doesn't work.
(I made a ranking-retry.png and pause-retry.png)

Anyone know how to fix this? :?

The new skin behavior uses pause-retry.png on the ranking panel. If your skin is using really wide blank spots on the pause menu buttons to offset their positions visually it's going to break your ranking panel buttons. This is the only thing I can think of that would cause that issue.

You can now add skin versioning by adding "Version: 2" into the skin.ini file, so no more suggesting the "Prefer new default" instructions.

The closest way to do that is to make a static combo burst image full of stars... I don't think there's a way to make it so stars move individually. :|

hey guys, im a noob looking for some help on making an cursor that looks like the default league of legends cursor(with top left cursor centre) and im not quite sure how it's done. Normally i just put a PNG file of the cursor in a file and put it in the skin folder and osu will play it, but for some reason i cant even get the image to show up(it reverts to default cursor). Also im not sure how to make the cursor centre at the top left without the cursor reverting to default cursor with top left enabled.

EDIT/UPDATE: i figured how to get the image and top left centre to work, my only issue now is how to get rid of the white box surrounding it :(
UPDATE 2: All good, figured it out, anyone looking for an exact replica of how a league cursor would play in game can just ask and i shall upload :)

Open your skin.ini... And change :
CursorCentre: 1
from 1 to 0

HI, i saw interesting skin and wanted to make a similar one. Here is how it looks
SPOILER
I figured the way of making sliders like these - make fully transparent hitcircle and hitcirceloverlay, but make numbers (default-x.png) like if they were hitcircle
SPOILER
But when beatmap has more then 10 1-color circles in a row it acts not like it was meant
SPOILER
Each circle represents one number, so the more digits in combo - the worse
SPOILER
Is there a way to make any combo be the same?

You have to mess with your HitCircleOverlap value in your skin.ini. Just increase the number incrementally untill the two images overlap eachother completely in the middle.

It's the same issue as this; p/2590159

But for god sake... Why not just edit hitcircleoverlay and make numbers transparent? It's easier and you will get same or better result...

Edit: So the only difference is that it won't appear on end of sliders?

I somewhat like the single circle slider look, though I've played with it before and you lose things like the ability to have colored circles. It's fun to mess around with for awhile though.

Can't be done, the frames on the song select screen are un-editable. The closest you could do would be to like take one of the buttons (beatmap options for example) and make it really large horizontally. This of course though would look silly and it would cover up all the other buttons and potentially your player card.

If I'm correct you can do this with menu-back button.
I saw few screenshots where people had that part "skinned" and I'm pretty sure it was back button. (Saw it on ranking-panel and menu)

This may be right, but another possibility: To a certain test build/release we were able to change every graphical element inside osu! (if you know all the filenames of course), I guess peppy forgot to turn that off when he made the new skin with RBRat or something, but that flaw is fixed for 2 or 3 weeks now.

Hi,

How do I make the play-warningarrow not be red? I've tried checking and un-checking the Prefer new skin behavior button in the options and it stays red regardless.

Thanks.

I assume you mean how the k1/k2 don't change color when pressed. I assume he's done it by just having the key image be that yellowish outline with a blank inside, the actual color of the key is just the keyinputoverlay-background and you can't notice the additive yellow on the key graphic outline because it's already yellow.

I'm having problems trying to change the sounds of section-fail, combo-break, section pass etc.

Is there a different name for the wav / mp3 file as opposed to just section-fail.wav

Also is there a list of which sounds need to be wav and which mp3?

Thanks for the help in advance

http://www.mediafire.com/download/01fwa ... onpass.wav

These are files for section pass in WAV and MP3 is there anything else that could be wrong?

Edit: Problem was that the sounds were too quiet for osu so i had to amplify them in audacity

mp3 and wav is the same thing actually, but some people prefer *.wav (For System stability)

Here's what I got
Tested 2 Sounds with Media Player Classic : The Sound seems not too quiet, in fact... Had the same volume as those other sectionpass
Tested 2 Sounds with KM-Player : Using "Repeat One" features, the sound volume is low in the first-play (like when I played It in osu!), but in the 2nd play... The volume gradually move up and so on until It reached the Max Volume... < This is the Problem, The Sound file has "Fade-in" features
What Software did You use to Convert those? Don't use Video-Editor Software, It will cause "Fade-in" for sound file... Use some Audio-Converter Software (Like Freemake {but sadly no *.wav} or Abyssmedia {Not Freeware})

^ It is probably as you said that when i converted them with audacity it made them fade in or reduced the volume amplitude, i tried amplifying them again and this is what i have now.

http://www.mediafire.com/download/r5g69 ... tionpass(2).wav

Seems to be a reasonable volume for osu now

You can apply custom key images to mania key columns, via the mania.ini files.

To use this feature, if you set KeyImage0 value to (String 1), it uses (String 1).png image.
Also the KeyImage0D value of (String 2) uses the image (String 2).png.

Guys I've got a prob.
The ranking panel isn't positioned correctly, easy, check "Prefer new default skin behaviour (animation, etc.)
When I use this option I can't use my own spinner cause the standard one will appear, anyhow if I uncheck it the ranking panel is crooked.

I Suggest You should Un-Check the "Prefer New Default Skin Behavior (animation, etc.)"
For the ranking-panel.png, It needs A lot of Experiments using Any Editing-Picture Software You have (Photoshop is the Best for this) to set the Panel Position in It's Right Position... (And I'm suck at this, So I'm using A Blank picture for ranking-panel.png)

You have to make a new key set and then specify it in the 8k.ini. For my scratch key I named them 'mania-keyTURN' and 'mania-keyTURND' and then you have to put this in your .ini;

KeyImage0: Mania-keyTURN
KeyImage0D: Mania-KeyTURND

The rows are numbered starting with 0 at the leftmost, you don't have to put in lines for every row, just ones you want to be non standard.

(I need to write a mania skin and .ini guide)

Hey there. I'm not quite sure if anyone has asked this before in this topic but I have a problem with the ranking-panel. It doesn't match my background -> http://osu.ppy.sh/ss/1028954 .
I read a topic where someone had the same problem and you suggested to try a wp with 1366x768. I did try this but the result was the same. The thing is no matter what skin I use I have this problem. Yesterday when I first changed my ranking-panel everything was fine, it fit perfectly. But then I changed some other things (like cursor, sounds, pause background) then this happened. I don't think that it has anything to do with my problem tho. I thought maybe redownloading a skin would solve the problem but even that didnt help. My ingame resolution is 1440x900 by the way.
Maybe the solution is simple and I just cant notice it, so if you guys can help me Id appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.

Did you check "New skin behaviour" thing in options? It will reposition ranking-panel in all skins.

Also, shouldn't you have 1306x768 size of it? Since 1440x900 is 16:10 aspect ratio and 1366x768 is for 16:9 (it shouldn't really affect this, but you might want to check it).

Checking the "skin behaviour" just changes some of my panel (like "back to menu" etc) back to the original but does nothing with the pic.
Oh so I used a bad aspect ratio:D My bad. I tried with the given resolution -> http://osu.ppy.sh/ss/1029043 The bottom of my pic still cannot be seen so i scrolled it up a little bit to show you the whole pic-> http://osu.ppy.sh/ss/1029045 . It seems it still doesnt fit as intended. Or is it how it should be? o.o

You are not forced to make exactly 768px height anyway. Try making 800px or something around it. Generally it needs a little positioning. ^^;

That's because there are is a part of the ranking panel that was moved up.
You need to get how is the height of that. Add it on the height of your ranking panel but let it remain transparent on the upper part.


Let's say I'm using osu! on 1024x768 resolution.
The ranking panel size should be 1024x672 as I measured it to cover the background.
But since it was was moved upward by 22 pixels, then I should also add 22 pixels on the ranking panel making it 1024x694.

I created a new ranking panel with the size of 1024x694. Its a bit big since I added 22 pixels.
The 22 pixels on the upper part of my ranking panel should be transparent. Those transparent 22 pixels will be moved up.
The remaining parts of your ranking-panel will be covering the background.

This is how it looks like.

Wait, so you can't cover the letterhead ( Or how does it called. The part where you can see the titles and stuff) with you choosen background? Cause I can see the song's background in your picture.

As far as I'm aware, the ranking panel is drawn at around the middle of the title bar at the top in the old style, so you can't completely cover it.

Old School Ranking Panel = cover entire screen is possible
New School Ranking Panel = impossible

Ah, I see. I was considering making a set of template .PSDs for both styles just to make it easier for people to align their panels, since the new/old style split seems to mess a lot of people up.

That's the reason why people should decide which behaviour they want to use in their skins before starting making a skin.

Is there Any Lines in skin.ini that will force the Skin to use Old/New Style? (like behavior=0/1) If It's not, probably this'll be useful If there's any...

No, sadly you can't turn it off.


If someone is reading changelog then he know already.

You can now edit colour of Menu Glow.
You need to add "MenuGlow: 0,0,0" to skin.ini (This is supporter only (same as custom main-menu bg)

note:
[peppy] Allow customisation of menu glow colour (MenuGlow in skin.ini, supporter only).

Well I just added random guess. Thanks for testing. XD
Of course instead of giving example how to add it we just got info only... again.

Try with additional number for transparency.

Edit: ^ skin.ini example please?
have already tried all different kind of combinations
130,0,0 Nope
99,0,0 (in case 130 is not proper value) Nope
130,0,0,100 Nope
99,99,0,0 Nope
nope nope nope. I am out of ideas.

Ok touchthefluffy gave me idea.

This command must be put under [Colours] Section. RGB Value, no alpha.

Be sure to put the parameter in the [Colours] section of your skin.ini. :P

in every skin folder should be a file called skin.ini
all you need to do is open it up with notepad, and under the [colour] section, add menuglow: 125,125,125 and it should work. you will need to be on the test build for this to work for now though. should hopefully push through the public build at some point

the 125,125,125 is just a random number. you can enter enter RGB number you want(0-255)

How do you control how fast your animations go? For example, an animated button?

The only way I can think of is to make copies of each frame, so that the animation will be slower, but that's a lot of clutter.

That depends which one part you are actually animating.

With adding to skin.ini "AnimationFramerate: <Number of frames per second>" - This option will affect every animation that you have in your skin (except hitbursts and sliderball).
But now how to control speed with it and how to make different speed on different parts?

This is a tricky part. As stated AnimationFramrate is affecting amount of frames used per second.
Example: We have animated lifebar that contains 8 frames and animated skip button that contains 20 frames. We are setting AnimationFramerate to 4.
Full loop of lifebar animation will take 2 seconds , 5 second for skip button.
In other words The more frames you have and lower Animation Framerate is, then slower animation will be.

But now case where we want fast animation for skip and very slow for lifebar. Let's say we are using the same amount of frames as previosly stated (8 and 20)
You are setting AnimationFramerate to 10. Now you have pretty fast skip button but way too fast lifebar (less than 1 second to do loop) but you want it to be slow. So the only way is to increase amount of frames. You will need to duplicate frames few times.
Example :
scorebarcolour-0, scorebarcolour-1, scorebarcolour-2 and scorebarcolour-3 are using picture number 1. scorebarcolour-4, scorebarcolour-5, scorebarcolour-6, scorebarcolour-7 are using picture number 2 etc.

After that you will have "8 frames" as 40. So now with AnimationFramerate it will take 4 second instead less than 1.
It's not taking that much time as it's looks to duplicate frames. Generally only renaming them is a little annoying but still is possible to do this in few minutes.

(menu-back is not affected by normal duplication of frames. You need to add AnimationFramerate to control it's speed).

Ah. Alright.

So, with menu-back I'll have to use AnimationFramerate, and this will affect all animated parts of my skin. Luckily, I believe the back button is the only animated part. But this really limits me.

What's the exact function of the file fruit-plate?

Mapsets that include a custom ryuuta (EXAMPLE) seem to work well w/o that element. After some tests, with and without it in the mapset folder, I honestly don't feel any visual/gameplay difference. In fact, fruit-plate doesn't even overlay fruit-ryuuta while playing (talking about the default one included in the template skin).

So it's necessary to include it into the mapset folder, or can it be avoidable? Sorry if the question sounds stupid, but I'm not a skin expert at all :P

Fruit-plate was just a template image to use for future ryuutas. It was included in old (updater) skin template.

So, is not necessary to include it. It isn't used in skins.

What files you are changing? And are you sure you have enabled/disabled new skin behaviour?

Try placing SpinnerFadePlayfield : 0 inside Skin.ini
That might change the black background into transparent..
