Hello!

So yeah, like what I wrote on the title, I'd like to see the possibility of using an unlimited amount of combo colour. This will be useful in cases such as the ones I listed below:

  1. If you're making a compilation of songs, and you want to use different backgrounds. Most (or all?) of the time, you will need to change the combo colours so they'll fit the currently shown picture.
  2. If you're using a video, and you want the combo colours to follow the atmosphere or visualization of the video. In a lot of cases, eight is more than enough, but I believe there will be a few exceptions here and there.
  3. If you're mapping something and you believe you'll need more than eight colours for some reason (maybe to emphasize a theme in the song itself, or the singers' trademark colours, if the artist, usually the vocalist, is a group of people who has their own assigned colours; the latter is the case that I'm having right now, that gave me the idea to request this).
I'd like to hear the feedback from everyone on this!

I'm sure enough there's no duplicate, but if there is one, it means I'm suck at searching.

Lol. Good idea though.
I'm for example making a marathon with +- 30 songs, all from character which are animated (like sonic, tails, AiAi, NiGHTS etc)
I wish I could ise multiple colours, like light/dark blue/yellowish/brownish/purple <-- this are 8 colours already >.<

3 years ago the limit was increased from 5 to 8 and this was the thread: t/51013.

It's been 3 years and although mapping has changed a lot since then, I still think that there should be a sensible limit for the number of cb colours (unless the mapper intend to set black BG and no video).

Yeah, I do realize that unlimited sounds kinda crazy since most people will probably only use 3-5 colours for their maps, but there will inevitably be cases like what I've already said in the first post. Might as well remove the limitation instead of keeping it (even with a larger amount of maximum colours).

Well, basically it's a good idea to have a higher amount of combo colours but I don't know...wouln't it be a bit confusing?
I mean if you have for example a marathon with 30 colors and want to select the specific ones for the specific part you'd have a giant palette of colours which could make it easy to mess things up.
Still good idea that can be really useful. Support~

Maybe only do it for approval maps and collabs?

Would it be easier to implement if it's in the form of "notepad tricks" etc? Since this is really for long maps only, there's no need to rework the editor interface.

This wat it can't be too much, since newbies don't know how to do this, and yhe experienced ones who know how to use it properly will not abuse it

This is one of the reasons people disable background/video in the first place. I don't really understand why anyone would want the circles to blend so well that they're pretty much invisible. I wouldn't mind having more combo colours though, because for my skin I needed exactly one more for an effect I was trying to achieve.

With the rise in the amount of compilation maps and stuff, I think it will. Don't worry.

Honestly, I'm not quite sure if we should use this method. idk why; I just don't think it'll be a good idea.

I thought we usually use custom combo colours to make sure that the objects will integrate well with the background/video so they won't feel out of place... Those who made it blend that "well" did do it wrong, though. It shouldn't blend up to that point.

And I also need exactly one more combo colour for my map lol

the reason i'm unsure is because it would only help a select few maps. 99.99% of the time, this wouldn't really be needed or abused. maybe having 10 has a cap instead of 8 would be nice. but unlimited just seems overkill

But for marathon maps, which get more popular, it fits really well.
https://osu.ppy.sh/s/179776 This map for example.
It needs around 25 colours, 2 per song, because it's a compilation.
Marathon maps are getting more popular.
If I had stars I would shoot them all :D
