http://puu.sh/8vnhx.jpg I want to obtain the background in this image, and I have the image but where would I need to put it?

as shown in rrtyui's livestream. I checked the skin tutorial and it only explains what a playfield is and nothing about changing the back ground on the playfield.
sorry if it is obvious, but I have found nothing. :D

I've designed my own inputoverlay itself. It is supposed to be purple, and pressed it must be purple (press decreases). But I have a problem. If you press the button, it turns red. How do I do that away? :?

What is the name for CtB comboburst? I can't remember that filename, you should put it in the wiki for reference.

It follows the same format as the combobursts for standard, just with "-fruits-" between the comboburst and number
comboburst-fruits-0.png
comboburst-fruits-1.png
and so on.

that is the plan. but i'm not sure how i want to go about it. i'm thinking of having a central hub and have it link off to different pages that go over the skin elements. which would mean 6 pages.
-hub
-standard
-taiko
-catch the beat
-mania
-skin.ini

Ok so, i use IIDX MANIA 1.0 skin as my osu!mania skin. Due to recent skinning changes the background is now trasparent instead of black and the notes are smaller



How can i switch t the old (good) one?

These lines would be the ones to look out for.
ColumnWidth: 50,50,50,50,50,50,50

Colour#: x,x,x,255 (# is for the specific lane)

ColumnWidth seems to be changed to real pixel width.

Colours are in RGBA where A controls the transparency of a lane. 0 is transparent and 255 is solid.


EDIT: about the notes, seems something is broken as I only see small lines. nvm after restarting worked fine again.

nvm

How do you make the follow point look like a line? Would you just make a lined shape follow point, or is this the animated follow point? If so then how would you go about in making it?

the file name is correct and I assume you already play in HD.

volume-bg-effect is not an overlay to show the volume level, it is the background when you change the volume level of sound effects manually like you would adjust the normal volume during or between plays.
This can be done by holding down the "Alt"-button while changing the volume with the mousewheel or arrowkeys. This is where volume-bg-effect shows up.

example:
You have several followpoint image files, from 0 to 9 (I think), the length of the followpoint is determined by the number of those files that are not blank (the 5th file is the center of the "followline"). Just get a skin that has line followpoints and see for yourself how they should look like. The file name should be "followpoint-x.png", replace x by a number.

hello! i'm making a taiko skin but i encountered a problem, approach circle on standart and taiko mode aren't diferent files, on taiko mode it looks just fine, but in standart mode it looks so weird lol. i want standart to be different :( is there any way to fix it? thanks

You can make a skin for taiko only and have this approachcircle there. Just make a folder named "taiko" put your taiko elements there and go to the options ingame. go to the skin section there and enable "use taiko skin for taiko mode". Everytime you play taiko this taiko skin will automatically be used, regardless of your skin. On your skin for standard you will use another approachcircle of course.

hey everyone,

Since the new Osu, i've been having problems with my CtB skin. the "Character" won't change.
It's named:
- fruit-catcher-fail.png,
- fruit-catcher-fail@2x.png,
- fruit-catcher-idle.png,
- fruit-catcher-idle@2x.png,
- fruit-catcher-kiai.png
- fruit-catcher-kiai@2x.png

these were working on the old Osu! but now i have the one from the original osu! skin.

score-comma.png can be used for accuracy if the decimal point comma (,) is used for specific languages. score-dot.png will be used otherwise.

hi,
I'm having some issues with my hitcircleoverlay at the moment. For a while now, I've been using hitcirlceoverlay-0.png to effectively have an overlay only at the beginning of a slider. This has been working fine until I changed the image.

This is what it looks like currently, but the only thing that was different previously was the lack of the inner light-blue portion.

And this is the result in-game. It still works fine on hitcircles, but the sliders' overlay is entirely gone.

I'd have to assume that it has something to do with the middle of an overlay having to be transparent, but I still don't really get why it wouldn't work. Thanks in advance if you can help explain this to me.

The overlay-0 method only works with "HitCircleOverlayAboveNumber: 1" in the skin.ini file, so that means you have to use a transparent middlepart in the overlay to see the number.

Since yesterday (or 2 days ago) 4k mania skin is broken- the rightmost column is a few pixels spaced from the border. I use 1280x1024 fullscreen res. I was told it's caused by latest skin.ini format change. Could someone change the ini in the archive so it works correctly, please?

I noticed in some old osu!standard gameplay that the Hitcircle's / Hitcircleoverlay's used to expand more (and decay slower) is there any way I can get that effect now or maybe use an older version (I assume that's not gonna work anyways).

Hey, urm I want my Combo Colour to be black but then it turns my approach circle to be black also. This makes it hard to see the approach circle on maps with dark backgrounds. Is there any way to get around this while still keeping the combo color black.

Thank you in advance.

Use a black hitcircleoverlay (and SliderTrackOverride: 0,0,0 in the skin.ini too if you want the sliders to be black as well)

New countdown is auto adjust to centered in your screen, but if you wanna old count down add this

to your skin.ini file under [general] section

The after-effect of clicking the hitcircle's was expanded more and decayed slower, as showed ^ (old video)

That will change all combo colors to be black, I just want one combo to be black and one to be green, but for the black combos the hit circle is turned black which is difficult to see the hit circle on dark maps. The problem isn't really making the combo is black, it is the fact OSU is turning my hit circle black also xD

Also another question; Is there a maximum amount of combobursts for a skin? I tried to do three but it only uses 2 throughout the map, how should I be naming them?

There is no limit to combobursts. You start naming them like in an animation like comboburst-0.png, comboburst-1.png, comboburst-2.png, etc.
They always appear on set combo counts; starting at 30, then 60, followed by 100 and everytime after 50 more combo. To make all appear more frequently just add ComboBurstRandom: 1 to your skin.ini file under the [General] section of it.

hmmm I had one set to comboburst-2.png but it never appeared even after 250 notes, kept repeating the first two back to back. Shouldnt they normally appear in the order they are named?

Also in the OP there is a "s" in combobursts-2.png, Im guessing that is just a typo?
SPOILER

EDIT: OOps, I named it comburst-3.png rather than 2, which must've been the mistake :oops:

You'll have to change these values in your skin.ini; values from your nK.ini files are no longer readable by osu!. Make sure you reload your skin (CTRL-ALT-SHIFT-S) after saving your skin.ini and ensure it has the correct syntax.

Ever since I started playing, I've always played without followpoints. Now I decided to try them, because I thought it might help me with airman. The problem is sometimes the followpoints appear in reverse, coming from the other direction. I use a line followpoint, so this really throws me off and makes me unable to play. I'd really like to try followpoints to see if it makes any difference, but as it is right now it's nigh impossible.

Why does my skin behave this way? What can I do to fix it?

I don't know if any of you know this but you can use count.wav in place of count1s.wav, count2s.wav, count3.wav, and gos.wav.

readys.wav will play normally followed by count.wav being played 4 times.

This will only work if count3s.wav is absent.

The biggest use for this would be for silencing countdowns where you only have to mute 2 files instead of 5.

You mean they originate at the next note and travel to the current note, or the sprite appears in reverse? I honestly don't understand how the former could ever happen.

Hi! I've been modifying default skin little to make it more the one which I personally like. I have just been wondering is there any way to make sliderfollowcircle to not "bounce", "throb", "beat" or "pulsate"? So that it would just say still. Just little thing which I would personally prefer more. I hope someone of you can give me answer fot this. Thanks!

They are put under the [Mania] section for 10k.

"SplitStages: 0" deactivates the split, "StageSeparation" determines the gap between the stages.

Not sure about your first question but for your second question I think you can remove the stars by making star2.png to a transparent image.

Are there separate hitbursts for the ones you see in the mania mode and on the results screen? I have this idea for a skin, but I need to have the results screen have a different sprite set for the hitbursts.

Check in your skin.ini whether your skin is Version:1 or Version:2
Since some Version:1 skin elements have different names in Version:2

At every mania configuration (*K.ini) in your skin, manually adjust ColumnStart.

You should use a transparent star2.png instead of deleting it (the default template will be used in that case).

i have the star2 deleted but it still drops stars from my cursor :?
Just make a transparent 1x1 png file and name it star2.png. Delete star2@2x.png if you have it.
