little problem with spinner
Toasty-kun
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.
any ideas?

thx alot ;)

Change the Version in the skin.ini to

Version: 2.3

This is happening with the new update. How can I fix?
OsuMe65
[General]
Version: 2.4

Try this. If fails, edit manually

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.
Haskorion
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.

Uncheck "Hit Lightning" in the options? or replace lighting.png with a blank *.png file...
OsuMe65
if you meant the whole effect itself:
1. Follow Rio-
2. make particle50/100/300 blank as well

I think he means star2.png, just make a a 1*1 blank image.

How to make reverse arrow static?
OsuMe65
reversearrow is already static. The twitching behavior is a staple behavior of osu!. Can't avoid that.

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?

How do I adjust the skin for the new countdown?
Rise_old_1
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
Version: 1.0
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
Haskorion
dont use black. black never is good.
iRAWkTheWorld
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?
Haskorion
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?


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.

There are new mania key counts now. 1K,2K,3K,9K and 10K.



if you're making skins with mania, please take this into consideration and don't forget to add them

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'm trying to do my own scorebar right now but i've got problems with scorebar-kidanger.
Is it possible to get the "red error one" as a kidanger2 ? seems like kidangers dont match my scorebar-bg and idk how to fix or if it's even possible :l
Haskorion
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!

How to undo the 10k stage split in mania?

the changelog is telling me something like StageSeparation or SplitStages, but HOW do I have to use this in the skin.ini?

can't find it out . . .
Haskorion
They are put under the [Mania] section for 10k.

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

Hi guys, sooooo I have a problem with a skin. Before it would just be like normal, but now when i click on the circle it goes away as usual, but then it leaves a trace like another approach circle, and that's really annoying. How do i get it away? I'm really annoyed by it and it messes up my plays

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

Is there any way I can move the score (the one with accuracy) down? I play mania and it's really distracting cause I always check it. I'd like to move it
look at where my cursor is. Thanks
OsuMe65
Not possible.
Kyousuke
I lurked around yesterday and I saw there's a thing in the skin config and you can change the position but I'm not sure about the number of that
Haskorion
you're thinking of something different. Score and acc can't be moved.
Kyousuke
Aw, that kinda sucks. Can I remove it then?
deadbeat
you can hide the HUD with shift+tab if that helps
Kyousuke
Yes that helps thank you :D, also do you know how I can move the whole mania thing to the right side or in the middle?
Nathanael
At every mania configuration (*K.ini) in your skin, manually adjust ColumnStart.
Default value is 136.
Kyousuke
Am I doing something wrong here? It doesn't do anything, also only one that has columnstart is skin.ini so i added it to 4k but still nothing
EDIT: Nevermind I fixed it

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

Just make a transparent 1x1 png file and name it star2.png. Delete star2@2x.png if you have it.

Is it possible to make hit lighting behave like it did in version 1.0? Several elements of my skin use version 2, but I prefer how the lighting expands in version 1 more.

Is there any way to prevent this from happening when the combo goes higher than 9? Those are the default numbers. Hitcircles and hitcircleoverlay are invisible.

You need to change or add this line to your skin.ini : HitCircleOverlap: 70 (should find or add it under [Fonts])
Change the number to = the pixel size of your default number.

Mind you since you inlaid numbers in yours it will still look a bit sloppy but at least it will be playable.

You are basically stuck with how each version handles things differently with the only exception I know of being the spinner.

So what are the rules about submitting a skin with images used that you didn't create?
I made a skin for myself, and it doesn't have any elements from other people's skins, but it does have images made from probably 30-50 artists once its complete.

Am I allowed to post this skin to the forums? Do I have to credit every single artist?
Thankyou.

if the elements aren't taken from other users, it's fine

Check if that's enabled

also important: you need supporter to change the sounds.
Moecho
Yes I had it enabled~

Thanks for answering the question ReddScorn, but isn't that kind of wierd? because the game starts and doesn't recognize me as supporter as long as I'm not logged in, so it feels like welcome sound is pointless if it works like that owo

What happens when I use 300ppi images in osu! as opposed to 72ppi? Do I get better scaling / anti aliasing?
Oddwel
Hey there people!

A friend gave me some skin. Though I made some tweaking on the taiko elements that were displaying unproperly for some reason (took me a while to correct it. Still don't know what was wrong, but I couldn't tell you what changes could have been made to that skin before it came to me), I didn't touch the sliderball.

I can undoubtedly certify that skin.ini defines
SliderBallFlip: 1
Yet the slider ball does not flip when reversed.

To confirm: I changed the cursor rotation in the ini file and it changed in the game so my file is without doubt being read by osu.
Any ideas as to how I can troubleshoot that?

That'd be great.

PS: For info my osu version is the latest cutting edge (check out the last version in the beta changelog and it's mine)
