do you HAVE TO hold c for the smoke or is it toggleable?
vahn10 wrote:
Hold C
doesnt answer my question
Yes it is that you have to
vahn10 wrote:
Hold C
Holding "C" alone creates just a dot. Moving your cursor while holding "C" makes sense for skywriting
guys, i mean if there is a possibility to skywrite all the time without having to hold c all the time as well
Not possible, so far.
I can't skywrite, i also used vahn10 with the cursor-smoke.png :c

from the changelog
[peppy] Add skin config setting for slider ball tint (AllowSliderBallTint=1).
[peppy] Add options menu setting for combo-based slider ball colour.
Custom_sliderb_colors: [peppy] Add SliderBall skin setting for changing colour of default skin sliderball.
Custom_sliderb_colors: [RBRat3] Add colorable sliderb sprites.
That's one decent change over there.
This helps New Skinners, for sure.
This helps New Skinners, for sure.
Not very clear how it's colorized. The only skin I can get to have colored sliderballs is the default skin.
EDIT:
Figured it out. Put it under the general stuff in the skin.ini.
//Should the Slider Ball be tinted with the combo color?
AllowSliderBallTint: 1

I can't seem to see my playfield.png whenever I press F2 in the song selection? and my playfield dimensions are probably on 1900x700+. Is the problem in the dimensions? I'm not on HD.

any way i found this on osu!gameplay.dll but i dunno the function of this element can someone tell me? and what the name of the element?
Colored slider balls is kinda cool, I dunno if I'll keep using it though, since I had my slider ball white for readability in the first place.
The premise of colorable sliderballs is so skinners/mappers dont have to reinvent the wheel just to change sliderball colors, It was never my intention to add feature onto custom balls 
That would be the sliderball specular (which is getting changed again) it's purpose is to give the ball a specular highlight that's in a fixed position and doesn't rotate with the ball, In a nutshell it's just fake lighting. sliderb-spec.pngEizan Arizawa wrote:

That looks like the sliderb used in 2007 version but it is color something like color yellow-orange

It's my personal skin that I've been Editing off and on for two years so there's no link. It prolly won't ever be released because it uses a small amount of borrowed elements and I don't think I'll make replacements for them anytime soon.CarinderYeah wrote:

can you tell me what's the function of that sliderb-nd?
Not skinnable, mistake when uploading 
That would be the sliderb secondary, It's a static sprite like the specular that sits underneath the sliderball and gives it the ability to have a colorable secondary color which isn't currently configurable right now but soon will be.vahn10 wrote:

Thanks for the information
Its a part that will soon be tintable but as of now it just makes up the black parts of the sliderball.vahn10 wrote:

For now spec and nd are not skinnable just the sliderb and only work on the default ball.
Maybe this will help explain things better
ok, now I understand how it works.RBRat3 wrote:
but what's up with that colorable specular?
It's not being colored it's adding higher value levels till it reaches white (or any other color), It's similar to using luminosity/lighting layer fx on photoshop. There are other elements that do this such as lighting.png, particle###.png, LightingN.png etc..vahn10 wrote:

It's me again I finally set up all the elements, but one of them doesn't work, I dunno if the name I wrote is wrong, or if that element doesn't work either; its name is menu-background.png, and it should appear behind the osu! menu icon instead of the blue background, how can I make it work?

The circle popping in the beginning of the slider can't be modified. It uses the entire hitcircle (hitcircle.png + hitcircleoverlay.png)

The absolute most you could do is black the entire transparent background on the numbers, this would fudge the look of a black box background behind them.
You might want to set a separate 'ScorePrefix' for these so that it only pulls them for the score and not your combo and accuracy, just so it doesn't look silly.

It's like using a custom number set in mania. In the [Fonts] section of the skin.ini you set 'ScorePrefix: score' to something different like 'ScorePrefix: BlackBG' and then you name your number set like BlackBG-0, BlackBG-1, BlackBG-2 and so on.Kert wrote:

A quick note however; I haven't actually messed around with this too much in standard mode. It might pull your ScorePrefix for accuracy and combo, rendering this invalid. But it in theory it shouldn't do that.
Edit: You can also change your 'ScoreOverlap' (also in [Fonts]) to make the black backgrounds of the numbers match up pixel-perfect, if they don't already.
You'll also want to use a uniform width of your number's canvas to achieve a more straight look aswell.
I saw a spinner where it was white but when the user spins it slowly turns red. How does that work and how do I do that?
that's spinner-middle.png
That was just what I was looking for. That will fit perfectly on my beatmap. Have you released that skin yet?poddo wrote:

If you check the new default template,
- spinner-middle2 is the circle with a half black color that you can see behind spinner-middle.
- spinner-glow will show when you at least completed the spinner, of course behind spinner-bottom.
Thanks, TouchFluffyTail
Unfortunately nothing works well, except adding outer glow

It would've been better if there would be another setting to change the color of the spinner glow. It may be useful to match with the skins' theme.
you can request it if you want actually

Make sure that you're using the new default behavior in order for that element to work

Hello, I just tried to make my own scorebar but there's something wrong with the Scorebar-colour. As you can see it's not placed right can anybody tell what I did wrong ?
You're going to have to move it around on the canvas untill you get them to line up. The background and the fill don't line up the same way which leads to things like this.GoJang wrote:

I'm just going to guess and say it has to do with hitcircleoverlay animation, i.e hitcircleoverlay-0/hitcircleoverlay-1. I could be wrong though, I haven't owned any skins with that nor have I actually tested it.
tip: make the default numbers like hitcircle and set the hitcircleovelap (in the skin.ini the same as the width of that paticular element) but you cannot put numbers on it instead
