Wow, how'd I miss this?

My suggestion for the lifebar is to embrace the pixely-ness, and use "nearest neighbor" resizing instead of bicubic or bilinear, so there's no anti-aliasing. Given Warioware's craziness, intentional pixelization like that would fit right in. I'd just rather have it look blocky than blurry.

And yeah, the crazier the better, all around.

Same here!

Maybe you could include the time bomb and string into the life bar, and use hit circles for something else. :P

I didn't know there was something like that in Photoshop. Where can I adjust that?

When you are resizing, do it from the menu Image > Image Size.
In the dialog that appears, you will be able to choose the resize method near the bottom, which should give you a few options, one being nearest neighbour.

Thats a great idea for the hp bar! And I also really like the idea for the spinner. I look forward to this!

This is a great idea for a skin. The spinner is a little too blurry, but I like it. Lifebar (as most people already said) is too blocky and blurry. And the timebomb down sound much better. ;P I do love the hit circles, but I'm a little uncertain about the back-button.

If only there was a way to put the health bar down at the bottom. That would be epic AND classic. =D

Updates! Thanks to everyone for the Photoshop and health bar advice.

I've added a yellow border around the circles to go with Wario's normal clothes, but I'm still thinking about changing it. If anyone has ideas for the color or design of the border, let me know.

The rings that move inward were copied from the EBASprite pack. I felt they fit the style well.

And Peppy, if you think there might be a way to program a true-to-the-game rope meter at the bottom, let me know.

remove the cursortrail if you haven't already - under a hand it looks pretty ugly.

Definetly go with the time bomb w/string, and maybe make the fuse bigger as it gets to <No!> or something? I was thinking making the bomb get ready to explode instead, but I'm not sure if its possible to do that. Also, will you be using WarioWare voices for your countdown?

In terms of voices, I've found a pack of Wario lines from Mario 64 and am already using some for the GO sound ("Here I go"), the pass section ("Wa ha ha"), the fail section ("Waaaaah"), and applause ("I'm-a gonna win"). I might try and rip some other voice samples from the Game Boy games. However, I do need some help. No matter how much I raise the volume of the samples, they're still very quiet when I use the skin in gameplay. Also, if someone thinks they can do a good Wario impression, lines for the countdown would be great.

And regarding the cursortrail, how do I remove it? I can't find a sprite or skin setting that turns it on and off.

Mario Kart 64 fuck yeah

to remove cursortrail.png, replace it with an invisible .png - if you've got osu! Ends With You, count1.png is one such "invisible" png.

I don't know if emulation talk is allowed here, but I'm trying to rip individual voice and sound samples from the GBA games but can't silence the other audio parts (ie turning off the music), not through ingame options or anything like ZSNES's audio channels. Does anyone know how to remedy this?

It's coming along nicely!

And another big announcement is that since it is hard to fit all the characters into one pack, I will very likely back skin variations for many of them a la Osu Ends With You. After the initial skin is finalized, though.

It looks amazing!! I can't wait to play with the WW skin.

More feedback:
While I find the Nose Picker to be one hilariously stupid microgame, it just doesnt feel right as the repeat icon, imo.

Rotate the nose so the nostrils are blowing Wario back and forth along the slider

I felt the same way about the nose as you guys, so I replaced it with a garlic clove.

Time for some suggestions. What would be a good idea for the spinner meter?

There are tons. There's just the problem of choosing one and implementing it. (Of course, you did say there's going to be alternates. More work, though)


Take the Wario hands twisting the GBA SP.



You can't go wrong with SMB3 and the fun minigame of spinning the trailed platform.



Weird guy throwing the weight.



And tons more....

Maybe even a stylus spinning some minigame as the spinner. That's pretty good, too.

For your spinner meter, you can use the SMB3 "P" meter which goes up when you run.

that thing at the bottom of the screen.

That's my 2 cents.

To be honest,

is the perfect spinner. It has the meter on the left, the dude that spins, the background. It's a complete package.

It's almost done! I still need to figure out the ranking grade letters, though.

(Oh, and the white sticking out of the spinner was fixed after I took this shot.)

Wario being pixely on the spinner is okay, but smooth out the spinner itself....looks awkward having jagged edges on what's supposed to be a circle.

I'll replace the spinner since everyone is fond of the hammer thrower, but it'll take a little while since I'll have to vectorize it.

Didn't get any replies for the original release, but here's version 1.1:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=1IIFPX64

Changes include soft sounds and a custom sound for missing notes, the hammer throw spinner by popular demand, and a few cleaned-up graphics.

Just letting people know that this skin is NOT dead! I was away on vacation for two weeks without a computer, now I'm back and ready to work.

Since the only post regarding the new spinner seems lukewarm, what are some other thoughts? I still prefer the old one but want to go with the majority opinion. (I'm thinking about changing the sprites for beats and Elite Beats as well, but am not sure what to replace the Wario sprites with.)

1.2!

The garlic has been tilted sideways (Never thought I'd type that), and the hit markers have gotten spiced up color-wise, and they and several other graphics have been given fancy shadow effects.

1.3, baby!
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=5KCDP45B

This one's all about sound. I've added menu sounds from Smooth Moves, and custom sounds for most hitcircle noises. I've also taken the white overlay off the hitcircles so that fashionable mustache is more visible, and find it looks better and plays just as well. A custom color scheme has been added to go with the colors of Wario's outfits- both his Ware and classic costumes.

I'm not sure how large comboburst.png will officially be, but I'd suggest keeping it down to about a third of the screen, about the size of one of the countdown blocks.

1.4, including:

- Slider tick 10s and 30s
- Icons for Taiko, Flashlight, and Selection Options
- The return of the cursor
- The much-hyped combo burst
- Several cleaned-up graphics

I think I'm about done with the base skin, but I want it to get approved first before I focus on the character expansions.

Couple technical things, first off:

1. Make sure you remove all the files that are not skinned. The template skin files are just taking up space and making the download bigger
2. Upload to up.ppy.sh instead of megaupload, please

I notice that your cursor is centered, and shouldn't be. Make the canvas a bit bigger, and move the finger to the bottom right so the center of the image is the center of the finger print on the index finger.

Most people prefer a cursor that is centered, but that can't be done with a finger.



I did this in about 5 seconds, so the center may not be exactly where you want it.

I tried something like that before but found it very awkward to play with, because I'm so used to using the center of the cursor. This is what led me to can the hand for a while in the first place.

Can anyone else provide feedback on what they think should be done with the cursor?

You could combine dumpster's version with the default cursor, which would result in a hand that points properly overlayed with a crosshair that would be intuitive for you. Maybe.

I got a message recently to let me know that the upload link for the current version of the skin is dead, so I made an .osk file and reuploaded it.

https://www.mediafire.com/?6locq8l0h64m4gx

Please let me know if the file doesn't work (This was my first time doing anything like that) or if a site other than Mediafire would be preferable.
