Let's take an example:
1. shavit made cursor.png
2. Shavit-sama made hitcircle.png
3. Comet made sliderb-0.png until sliderb-9.png

If shavit allows you to use his elements, you can use cursor.png.
If Shavit-sama allows you to use his elements, you can use hitcircle.png.
If Comet allows you to use his elements, you can use the slider ball animation.

Ask the mapper, if he won't answer in 3 days then I think you can post with saying that you can't contact the elements' creators and that you will remove their elements if they will contact you about that.

What color are you trying to change it to? From your .ini your slider should be black.

SliderTrackOverride: 0,0,0
TouchFluffyTail
Strange, since that's what it should be showing up as. Have you re-loaded your skin since you made the changes?


Also just for reference, my sliders are black and in my .ini the line is
SliderTrackOverride: 0,0,0
Yours looks correct but maybe try copy-pasting my line in there and see if anything changes.

Edit; Sniped.

It still isn't black. Does it have to do something with the files in my skin folder that isn't the skin.ini?
TouchFluffyTail
The only things I can think of are you either haven't reloaded your skin since saving the changes, or you aren't actually set to the skin you're editing.

You can't. Hitcircles have a set animation that isn't changeable.

Thank you cocoa,

checked the files type and they are .png, tried to change the skin.ini as you suggested, none of them worked (it was already set to 2.2).
I'm really puzzled as these two buttons are the only thing not working in the skin...
well did you check the name of file??? you know on v2.2 "ranking-replay,retry & back.png" it's not working again so you should re-naming the file to "pause-replay" for replay and "pause-retry" for retry, anyway can you provide the screenshot of the element who not working pls.
Is there any way to have a different image for the retry button in the pause screen and in the ranking screen?

maybe you can try add this to your skin.ini in [General] section
Version: 1
and rename the the file to "ranking-retry" for ranking and "pause-retry" for pause.

So no way in the Version 2+ ?

Hi, can anyone help me in slider part:
I want to add sliderpoint10 and sliderpoint30 to my skin, but it don't work (the score image not appear when hit slider). I tried change the skin.ini: delete the line Version: 2, and the sliderpoint finally appeared. But other element has been appeared as old version (especially the spinner). So is there anywat to keep using skin version 2, while included the sliderpoint?

If I just want to change one thing on the default skin, do I need to create a skin file?

The thing I want to change is the followpoints, and well just dropping files named followpoint in the skin folder didn't do much, didn't really expect it, but would be nice if it was that easy.

I saw a followpoint I liked on a song, so I just grabbed the followpoint files from that song to my skin folder, but obviously it is not that simply, so my question is what is the easiest way to be able to use that followpoint on all songs?

brezals wrote:

No, just create folder "User" on skins folder and put your followpoint here

Host your image on a image host website, like imgur.com then just copy the image adress, and press "img" and copy it between the brackets.

The brackets looks like this (img) (/img) but with [ ] instead of ( )

Sadly you are unable to do that on sliders since they are unskinnable and hitcircles are just placed on them. You can only change colour of slider by using "SliderTrackOverride" in skin.ini but I don't think it helps you much.

Add SliderTrackOverride: 0,0,0 under [Colours] section in your skin.ini (if i'm correct with that name)
That will replicate the screenshot you'd posted earlier.

In the skin.ini file which is located in your skin's folder, find SliderTrackOverride: 0,0,0. If it isn't there under the colours section, then add it. If it is there and has 2 dashes in front of it (//SliderTrackOverride: 0,0,0), remove the dashes.

Hey I'm trying to create an effect for my skin's scorebar like the one in this video but I can't figure it out

TouchFluffyTail
It's animated, you have to make animation frames for your health bar to get an effect like that.

That isn't a animation . They are the scorebar-ki elements just very wide. Check HD Neon skin for this one. t/171731 or t/155356

If I could bind that to a single button it'd be helpful, but I'm faster at reloading from skin select after all this time. :P

I solved it! Although I feel a bit stupid for this...

It seems they won't appear in the skin selection area. I played a map and there they were... all the time...

Thanks for all your help anyway. And good tip there! Im working in a skin so it'll come in handy.

It's actually been that way since 2.0.

Hi there, i got a small problem with my customisation.


I wanted to remove the Black borders from the Longnotes, but when i do that, then i get this annoying..... let's say bug :(
(The green longnotes is the one with the removed black border)
It seems that the "Mania-NoteSL.png"* is at the same spot as the "Mania-NoteSH.png"* and it's usually just hidden behind it, but it gets revealed once the black borders are removed. (Although this only occurs at the beginning of the longnotes, the ending is fine, even though the Beginning and Ending use the same .png file.

* Mania-NoteSL.png: (Middle part of the Longnote)
* Mania-NoteSH.png: (beginning and Ending part of the Longnote)

Does any1 knows a solution for this problem, i don't know how to fix this myself :(

Someone here know how to make the spinner back ground with...normal shading?
I mean... since the update of default skin the spinner BG is darker than the spiiner metre. (saying about some that I downloaded wich the spinner metre is a part of the BG picture)
I through it was the skin itself but then I saw that this darker spinner BG is in any skin... Someone know how to make your spinner BG get the normal color?
