I was wondering if anybody could teach me how to create a skin with a hitcircleoverlay that changes colour. Shizuru-'s current skin has this feature and up until a few days ago he had a liveplay uploaded to his channel but unfortunately he deleted the video for some reason.
My best regards and thanks

Can you give us an example? Possibly screenshots? Does it change color every other beat or while still on one beat?
The animated sprite "hitcircleoverlay-0" is used for single circles and bursts for sliders, while the non-animated "hitcircleoverlay" is used only on sliders. Handy for distinguishing between a slider and a single circle, and best used if you match the slider borders' color with the non-animated sprite. However: the only size for these two sprites should have a fixed size of 128px by 128px. Using sizes other than this recommended size gives unexpected results.
For example: I used white borders for single circles and cyan borders for sliders. Using a forced slider body color of dark gray gives better results.

How do I change the combo colour for osu!mania? Currently, mine is unchanged as shown here:
I want to change it such that MAX = 1 colour, 300 = another colour, and 200/100/50/0 as another colour.

You can only change the color the numbers get overlaid with when you hold a long note, and when you combo break. You can't set it to different colors per hit like IIDX style.
Thanks for the quick reply ^^ I guess I'll have to live without being able to tell the difference between max and 300 ;_;TouchFluffyTail wrote:

It ends up looking like this (i presume?) http://imgflip.com/i/55oez (sorry if its on the small side, but the overlay changes to blue/teal just before you hit it.
If you include hitcircleoverlay-1.png file in your skin folder, this image will be used as slider bursts and it turns from hircircleoverlay-0.png to this sprite when the approach circle is close to the hit circle. Only for single circles.
Ugh, basically my cursor trail isn't working properly. I want a nice, smooth line like the one with the default cursor but using the cursor from the Niko V5 skin. Any idea how to do this?
Here's two screenshots to show what I mean:
http://osu.ppy.sh/ss/1142313 - This is what my cursor looks like when I move it around (small circles appearing every so often, NOT forming a line)
http://osu.ppy.sh/ss/1142306 - Default skin, there's so many circles that they form a nice, smooth line.

Try adjusting the cursortrail.png size to a minimum without borders, for example:Dannyb77 wrote:

(sorry for wasting your time)You can use pause-replay.png for new version skinning in the ranking screen. On that screen you can see one of the pause buttons from your pause screen.

How can I add the design in the middle of my spinner? I mean I've got something like :
and i'd like to add a circle in the center of it, to know where to spinn exactly. How can i do this? I'd like to add this to background or to spinner-circle file, unless I can add it in another, different file... like spinner-center.png or something, i dont know if it is possible or it is not. How should I do this?
You'll still have to edit spinner-circle That's the proper way at least.
That's the proper way at least.How should I do it? I mean with which program, that's first, I thought about Gimp, because it's the only free program for picture-editing and it has quite a lot options, but how to do it? I already tried to edit it in Gimp, but I didn't know how to add my spinner center from another picture to this one.
Gimp is good but if it's your first time with this software, be aware that it isn't very user-friendly. You can grab Paint.NET, it does the same job and is a bit more user-friendly.
Here's the easy way: download this spinner centre if you don't have the spinner centre alone. If you want to change the colors, open it in Gimp/paint.net and either edit the saturation value or use the Fill tool. (don't know how to use the tool or change the saturation level? Google is your friend)
Then, open your initial spinner-circle and import the spinner centre (via drag-and-drop or the software menu). At this point, you'll have two layers (the spinner and its centre). If it isn't done automatically, move the spinner centre to the centre of the other layer. You can also resize the centre if necessary. There you go! Save the new file, name it spinner-circle.png and move it to your skin folder.

i have a made a new skin that contains a new cursor and blank images for the 300 beats but there is a small number "30" that appears when i hit the beats (notes) how can i remove that too?
,the spinner isn't transparent and blue like the original skin. it is yellow and orange like the old one.
and how can i change all of the sounds when i hit a beat to a certain voice, i have added a "normal-hitclap" and a "normal-hitnormal" sound files but sometimes i hear the original osu noise at some points of the song. ( the high hat noise )
Thanks in advance !

Tick on "Use Skin sound samples" or something like that.
(I don't know its actual name but it should work at all costs)
Also, don't forget to also tick on "Ignore beatmap hitsounds" while playing under Vsual Settings.
This will only do if your beatmap has custom sounds in it.

"play-warningarrow.png" is displaying with an incorrect color. This only happens when "Prefer new default skin behaviour" is enable. Is there something that needs to be added to "skin.ini" that is not mention in the first post?

Sadly we aren't able to change that. New skin behaviour is forcing red overlay. :<

btw, is it okay to put unused element that were formerly used on skin distribution later on?

Actually, it's possible IF AND ONLY IF you're using circles as numbers and HitCircleOverlap: # (at skin.ini) is set 'till the circles are stacked at the center.Rei Hakurei wrote:

If you're using regular numbers, stacking them at the circle with HitCircleOverlap: # (at skin.ini) is TOTALLY ridiculous.
HI GUYS!
I Have bit of a problem.
I use the -Kamui- Skin and its great, its a clean cut skin with nice hitsounds, awesome cursor, and sexy women.
However i want to customize it a tad more by doing a couple of things.
How do i add followpoint to the skin? I tried taking the followpoint data from other skins and putting it in the kamui skin file but it still doesnt work.
The Same problem happens when i add the SAO health bar image file to the kamui skin.
PLEASE HELP GUYS! I NEED THIS IN ORDER TO READ HD-HR BETTER XD

By the way, Is there a way to show the hitscores on the result screen but not on the gameplay?

Hitscores (known as Hitbursts) are present in-game and in the panel. If you want the Hitbursts shown on the result screen ONLY, then edit ranking-panel.png with the hitbursts present; use transparent hitbursts.

Hi there, I'm having troubles using the old spinner. I've downloaded the files from the old template, put them in a folder, and selected the skin under "Options", but I'm still getting the new spinner to appear. Could I get some help with this please? :S
Disable "Prefer new default skin behaviour" at the Skin tab.
Just asking,
is Version:2 behaviour on selecting a song (which is the background of the map itself is not loaded yet) uses menu-background.jpg instead playfield.png ?
i hope its not a bug tho.

It depends... You can set the size of the images as large as possible though, but using the same sized images are recommended...hatseducer wrote:
Is there a limit to the size an image can be?

Nope, you can do whatever size you want. Only few parts have restricted by size.
Can't tell, I don't have supporter. But might be true. Test it on map that doesn't have background. https://osu.ppy.sh/s/2934Rei Hakurei wrote:

65x65 for SD
Start making mod icons at 130x130
Then resize to 65x65
I hope that helps
In short HD first before SD

Ahh, okay, thanks for the help
Didn't really have any HD elements, didn't bother with process of enlarging all of them.. thought it'd be weird if I just had HD icons...
but I saw Wallpaper icons and did something similar to it..
Made all my icons 113x80, which was about the max size without having them overlap when selected.
Then just pasted in a ~5:3 wallpaper and it worked like a charm.
Oh, another question, I noticed that the snow is mode-osu-small...
but isn't that also the icon for the mode selection? I'm not sure if I'm a huge fan of having this:
It's menu-snow.png now. I think it was the same, but peppy changed it soon after.
