What the difference between soft and normal hits? What's the difference between clap, finish, normal and whistle? I can't seem to find explanations anywhere on google and the forums. Thanks a lot!

Is it possible to have separate hitsounds for Osu!Mania. Taiko has its own hitsounds, "e.g. taiko-soft-hitnormal". Is there a "mania-soft-hitnormal" or something like that, that exists?

Thanks in advance :D

Wow I skimmed over this and brushed it away since I didn't take into account how similar beatmapping and skinning are in regards to sounds. Thanks so much!

It doesn't do anything to the thread really. But here's what I know:
= Nuked, mostly threads that need to be locked by mod (like "question" or "mixed skins" kind of threads usually has this icon).
= "I want to ask about ___?"
= "HELP!!"
= Information
, , , = Modes

You can ignore the , , , , , and cuz' They should only used in the Beatmaps forum, not in Skinning. The Hearts picture sometimes used as "I like this!" though


tl;dr just ignore those icons. It doesn't really affect anything in Skinning Sub-forum (but It does if you browse the Beatmaps Sub-forums).

Am kinda curious, but what makes a "good" cursor? Or what makes it feel "good"? What do people look at when it comes to cursors?

In my opinion, some people like bright cursors, and others like Plain ones. everyone has a different taste.

I would just make a plain white circle and use the outer glow feature in gimp to make a cursor I like.

I managed to make the simple one, and found it doesn't look as good as I believed it would.

Anyone know how to make one like this?

I doubt [Gurin] would answer me, if he is still active even.

Does anyone know of a way that I can get the "skip" button to be in the center of my screen instead of the bottom right? Thanks to anyone that can help =)

is there a way to animate reverse arrow like the slider ball?

I've noticed that while using the default skin, the cursor spins. I haven't found how that effect can be used in other skins. Anyone on here is probably a more experienced skinner than I, any suggestions?

Need some suggestion/opinions when it comes to making followpoints.

Are thicker or thinner followpoints preferred?

Should I make the followpoints less obvious(Making it less opaque) or make it noticeable?

And how do I get rid of this outer white line on my cursor?

you could make multiple followpoints? personally i like thin, opaque followpoints, that fade (animated)

& check in the cursor file

How can I (if this is even possible) remove star2 effect from the cursor (like during pauses / some sliders) but keep where it'll burst from the sides of the screen or shoot from the bottom like fountains? :?
...also is it possible to add multiple star2's so it's more than 1 picture flying about?
make star2.png transparent i guess? and i dont think multiple is possible

make the skip button the full width of your screen and place it in the center of the canvas


my question since i am annoyed: sometimes spinner metres and backgrounds go REALLY off centre:
(original skin)

(when put on a different skin)

i can probably find more spinner metres that do this. maybe it's a skin versioning issue?
Futon
My problem is that the zero and one sometimes appears on the same hit circle. Is there anyway to fix this? It's very rare but I still want to know the reason for this. Thanks!



Edit: The horizontal line is the "1" and the 0 is "0"

I have the question, how get hitsounds from defalut osu skin(stable) and imput to the defalut osu skin(fallback)?

Im pretty sure it's just a 10 combo on the hitcircle.

I'm not a 100% sure but I believe that I indeed fixed the issue you described once by changing the skin version.

There is a template for the new skin on the first post of this thread. You should be able to extract the hitsounds from there.

Hello, I am currently making mania version of my skin and I have encountered some problems, regarding the use of "ComboOverlap" in the skin.ini, and the combo number not being centered in mania.


This picture is how my combo looks like in standard. In order to achieve this, I used "ComboOverlap: 9" in the skin.ini and a black circular background in the score pngs.
However, when I started skinning mania, I've encountered issues.


As you can see in this screenshot, the combo number is misaligned vertically, and is slightly shifted towards the right.


Setting the "ComboOverlap" to "0" solves the issue. But that changes the how the skin look in both standard and mania. And that is not what I want the skin to look like.


My question would be, if there is a way to make use of "ComboOverlap" while still allowing the combo number in mania to be centered?
If there isn't a way, how do I make it so that even if I couldn't make the combo look like how I wanted it to look like in mania, it would still look the same in standard?

Excuse me if I'm being a noob here, (btw I don't know where else to ask this question since the thread tutorial says "+ skinning support") but why won't the background of any of my skins show up at the menu button? It just has the default osu background. :/

You need to become a supporter for that, and ofc It's not free...

For animating the menu-back is there a way to speed it up? I have a 3 frame gif I am trying to add. The 3 images loop very well so I would just like to speed it up to make it seamless. is there a way to do this?

Please help me!!
I'm trying to make a skin for the first time :D
I like hitcircleolay very much, since without it my skin is kinda boring. But after a hit, a circle appeared then faded out. It's annoying because it makes things very hard to see.
I'm asking if there's a way to keep that blue circle and get rid of the after-hit cỉcle.
And also please tell me how to transparent slider end circles but keep the slider start circles, they block my view too.

i don't think you can speed it up... But if you want to slow it down, you can make the 3 frame into 6 frame:
like menu-back-0, menu-back-1, until menu-back-5. With:
  • menu-back-0 and menu-back-1 is a same frame,
    menu-back-2 and menu-back 3 is also same,
    etc until menu-back-4 and menu-back-5)
For Speeding-up, I guess You can remove a frame you don't really need and make it 2 frame animation which is slighty faster than before.

EDIT : AnimationFramerate: # in your skin.ini (which # is the amount of fps, 24 is default)

There's no other way beside turns all of the default-x.png (default-0, default-1, and so on until default-9) into a hitcircle and turn the actual hitcircle.png and hitcircleoverlay.png blank. Example is WWW's latest skin Like this one:


Other than that, you can't do anything about it.
(Also use Version: 2 or Version: latest in your skin.ini instead of Version: 1)

Aesthetic skin? The Score numbers uses the one inside the "fonts/aller" folder instead, replace the score numbers on that folder instead.
(or open your skin.ini, and change the "ScorePrefix: fonts/aller/score" to "ScorePrefix: score" instead)

i was making a skin on osuskinner.com and i finsihed it but the cursor comes out like this
http://puu.sh/q25I9/d23d9db3ab.jpg
i removed the cursor trail, but it seems that the cursor hitbox is bugged on my skin because i can click things while my cursor isnt actually on it, which ruins gameplay. how do i fix the cursor hitbox and the cursor trail thing?

Are the pictures centered on the canvas? Although unlikely that its the case, is your sensitivity set to one while using tablet?

I tried replacing the cursor from my skin with a cursor that is actually functional from another skin, but it ended up glitching the perfectly good cursor, so its just the skin and most likely not the cursors themselves. Also my sensitivity is set to one on my tablet.
