Is there any way to customize each key in osu!mania? For example: In 7k I'd like to have green,blue,red,yellow,red,blue,green keys but in skin folder i have only "key1" "key2" and "keyS". So i guess if I edit key1 it'll change both left and right "key1" instead of just left.

Yes. Refer to the KeyImage and NoteImage part of https://osu.ppy.sh/wiki/Skin.ini .

Thanks for quick answer, I'll do my best and let know if i nailed it.
@edit It's way harder than i thought. It seems i need easier commands because i can't understand almost anything.

Well I thought we couldn't do this (I remember seeing a feature request regarding this a few days ago)...
But if I understand correctly it goes as following:
From the skin.ini wiki:
The lines that start with // are descriptions of what the line below it does.
Basically you can 'stack' these for each lane/column/key in mania.
For 7k you would keep 'stacking' this for 2 more keys and put it under the "Key: 7" section, which is under the [Mania] section in the skin.ini.
Then you need to create the according sprites in the colours that you want that match the ones mentioned above.
It gets very confusing very quickly, and requires quite alot of work, but that's how it works from what I understand.
But if I understand correctly it goes as following:
From the skin.ini wiki:
//The sprite to use (mania-note1.png) for notes appearing in the first column
NoteImage0: mania-note1
//The sprite to use (mania-note1H.png) for the head of slider notes appearing in the first column
NoteImage0H: mania-note1H
//The sprite to use (mania-note1L.png) for the body of slider notes appearing in the first column
NoteImage0L: mania-note1L
//The sprite to use (mania-note1T.png) for the tail of slider notes appearing in the first column
NoteImage0T: mania-note1T
The lines that start with // are descriptions of what the line below it does.
Basically you can 'stack' these for each lane/column/key in mania.
So for 5k that would be this.

You can get rid of all the comment lines to make it easier to see the important parts. NoteImage0T (the note tail) is not required. If you don't specifiy it, the head will be flipped around and used as the tail.

It's confusing indeed but the example is helping a lot so maybe this time I'll do better and hopefully finally understand it.
Left them in to (hopefully) help understand how it works more easily. But yeah, they're not required.Blaizer wrote:

As for the NoteImage0T, I didn't know that

Good luck.Thanks, it probably helped me because I think I'm getting it.
This is how i made it. I'm not sure if everything is fine so I'd be glad if one or both of you would check it.
And by the way: comment lines are "//" i suppose or that "description" line? I'm gonna get rid of them once I'll see everything is working.
If i wrote everything right I'll start editing skin colors so it will be less confusing for me in-game.
Also: should i make "7k.ini" for all these things i wrote with your help or just leave all of this in skin.ini? Or maybe both? Sorry for dumb questions but as you could probably see, I'm not so good with this.

Looks good to me if you want 7 differently-coloured keys. Everything needs to be in skin.ini, unfortunately you can't just split it into multiple files.
Topic Starter
Well, I kinda failed <facepalm> because I wanted to do something like: "key1 key2 key3 keyS key3 key2 key1" but I can easily edit it since I understand how it works.
Still have some doubts with "mania-note1L" 'cause it has multiple "versions" in default osu! skin (I don't know how to call it).
I mean: "mania-note1L-0.png" "mania-note1L-0@2x.png" "mania-note1L-1.png" "mania-note1L-2.png" "mania-note1L-3.png" "mania-note1L-4.png" "mania-note1L-5.png"
And if I use "mania-note1L-0.png" and then rename it with "mania-note1L" (so it will fit with that what I wrote in .ini) I'm not sure how it's gonna look in game. So is there any way I can use all of these I listed above after all changes I'm gonna make? Or what should I do to keep it animated? In the worst case I'll abandon animation but I'd like to keep it.
I add screenshot to show my work in progress. Yet got to edit a lot but words can't describe how happy I am that it works.

Just renaming the text that defines which sprite/texture is used for the keys will do the job.Exemmar wrote:

Files that have -0, -1, -2, etc behind them are frames used for animation.Exemmar wrote:

The same as mania-note1L-0.Exemmar wrote:

Well yes, you can still use animated sprites by having -0, -1, -2, etc behind them. Each one of these -# represents a frame in the animation. The animation framerate is decided by the AnimationFramerate line in the skin.iniExemmar wrote:

Basically just take the sprite that has -0 at the end, remove the -0 part, and remove all files with the same name and end with -# if you want a non-animated long note (LN). If you want them animated you, of course, have to use them for each different note sprite.
If the game sees images that end in -0, -1, etc., it'll use those instead of the ones that don't. So you don't have to change anything in the skin to use (or not use) animated sprites.

I actually renamed the files because I was too lazy to edit that wall of text in skin.ini 
Now with new informations from you I'll edit the rest and wait for answer for that question:
What's the point of files with "@x2" I noticed that they are 2 times wider and higher but what do they do in game? Do I have to use them in my skin and recolor them too?

@2x files are basically 'high definition' or 'high resolution' versions of the textures.Exemmar wrote:

They're ONLY used IF they're in the skin folder AND a resolution of 800 pixels in height or higher is used.
The reason? Well, because at higher resolutions the 'default' (non-@2x) files get upscaled so much that they start to look very blurry.
Worst case scenario I've seen of this are the mod icons at 1920x1080 when no @2x files are used.
You could consider them a HD texture pack.
Topic Starter
I'm not making HD skin so probably won't use but I'm just curious:
And how does it look in game where long notes are usually longer than 800 pixels?
Sorry for lots of questions but I'm trying to make a perfect skin for myself.
@edit Just finished the whole skinning process. I'm very happy and proud of that. BIG thanks for both of you for guiding and teaching me how to do that.
I add screen.
They're ONLY used IF they're in the skin folder AND a resolution of 800 pixels or higher is used.you mean resolution of osu! or resolution of .png in folder? Because these .png's aren't 800 pixels but still are using @2x. So it doesn't make sense for me.
