hi, i just have a slight skin problem with sliders. both of these screenshots are 2 different skins



in this picture above the regular single notes and sliders BOTH have black inside of them while in this picture below



the regular single notes have black inside of them but the slider does not.

can anyone tell me how to make it so both the slider and single note have the black inside of them? i can't seem to make the slider have that black inside like the single notes do.

some stuff i tried: ( played around with both skins)
1.) "approachcircle" same in both
2.) "playfield" same in both
3.) "sliderb0" same in both
4.) "hitcircle" same in both
5.) "hitcircleoverlay" same in both
6.) "hitcircleselect" same in both
7.) "lighting" is same in both

**skin.ini text is the exact same in both

thanks to anyone who can help me ^_^

Maybe the black inside is because that area is transparent, don't you think?. I can see that in the first picture the slider color is black, then being the hitcircle transparent its have that color. But in the second picture the slider color isn't black. You can change the slider color of your skin in the ini with the SliderTrackOverride, that force a slider track to a certain colour. I'm pretty sure that's the problem.

but like i said" **skin.ini text is the exact same in both "

It must be SliderTrackOverride, nothing else can change colour of slider.

Make sure that in skin.ini it doesn't have "//" before.

And if it still doesn't work, provide both skins or something.

Let's leave that to the skinner because it's only information for players if there were any updates ("oh, I have v0.5 of skin xxx but there is already v0.73) , but commonly v1.0 should be version of skin where skinner made everything that he/she wanted to do (after all it should have some parts skinned, for example - all gameplay parts).
Thanks.

Is the spinner background supposed to be dimmed in-game?

Yes.

What is the source code to:
1. making the spinner glow. i see the default osu! skin can make them.
2. insert another picture to the spinner instead only one spinner-circle. the default osu! skin can make those too

What's exactly the taiko-bar-right dimensions? I tried something and it's always stretched in-game..

here-'s in-game look

1280x800 (16:10)
Did that part only works with standard resolution, e.g. 4:3?
Nathanael
Haven't you checked the default template? Its 845x200.

Edit: Kotori <3
Hatsune Chiyo
Just remembered the reason why I made my taiko-bar-right wider than the template:
because of my stretching issue :p


does it means taiko-bar-right isn't widescreen-compatible?
OsuMe65
Maybe it's because that's the default behavior of that element.
Hatsune Chiyo
you mean, filling out the bar by stretching it?
OsuMe65
Possibly

I won't test it out yet since I'm using a 4:3 monitor.
Hatsune Chiyo
Just did it.
211x200px taiko-bar-right.


No, it isn't filling up.. :|

What resolution you are using in game?

I have a few questions...

Okay so ever since I was a noob, the first non default skin I used was a skin I mixed and matched around because I didn’t like how one skin had one part but I liked this other part etc.
But recently I started altering the skins to more of my likings. Now to the point where I created some parts by myself with the help of a base.
I have a few questions because I’m nervous of calling it a skin I made all by myself and reassurance.

1) Is it okay if my skin resembles other skins?
I’ve seen on osu! Skin forums where people are using the same follow point I see everywhere (the one where it looks like a line) without crediting. Did they make it themselves and it’s okay to have it look almost exactly the same except it’s remade by the poster?
I’ve also noticed that most of my ideas have been made already except maybe slightly different after looking around at other things. Is it okay or do I need to make a full on makeover?

2) How do you make hitsounds?
I know what I want for menu-click, failsound etc. But the ones for play is the ones I’m not sure. Did people take them from other free music sites and alter them? Where/how did they find such sounds? Or do they make them themselves? How is each sound suppose the sound like? (I can’t find a download the default skin apparently. There probably isn’t any. So I can’t have a proper template to figure it out)

That’s pretty much my fears and concerns for it. Any help?
OsuMe65
1) Yes. As long as the element DOESN'T PERFECTLY MATCH another element.
Some of the skinners here ask permission to the original authors for some elements. Some of them replicates an element (like me in some cases) and some of them places an element that he/she didn't create for the sake of his/her skin (illegal here, but not in userpages and signatures).

2) Google is your best friend if you don't like to do the hitsounds in a hard way. The template skin is also your best friend too. Some of us (RARELY... I MEAN IT...) uses a Digital Audio Workstation / DAW in making hitsounds. Best examples of these are FL Studio and Cubase. If you want to know the actual sounds of the default skin, simply go to the first page of this thread. There's 2 download links available; the choice is still yours.

Thank you so much now I know what the heck I should do

Cinema (CN) mod is under Autoplay, if I'm right.

What is about the images with the suffix of "@2x"? What is their significance of exisitence? How should they be made?

They are HD images meant for resolutions higher than some resolution I am unsure of. They are 2x the resolution of non-@2x files which allows for them to look better in higher resolution game windows.
