Genial buen trabajo. Esto va a ir directamente al post de recopilación de proyectos.
Tenía uno abierto, pero la última vez que pregunté a un mod, dijeron que aquí era el sitio donde ponerlo... (Debería volver a preguntar, por asegurarme?)S v p e r wrote:
Creo que deberías abrir un post en el foro de skins para que la gente sepa de su existencia y lo utilice.
Made grid boxes bigger; ideal size for thumbnails would be 260x150.darotu wrote:
A very nice idea; I would love to see this become widely used in the future. Some suggestions/comments after using it for a few minutes:
- It would be helpful if you could sort the skins by views/downloads/name/date
It's definitely on the list of things that I'd want to do. I had it before the pages broke it, and it was pretty interesting.- Dynamically adding the next page's skins to the bottom of the page as the user scrolls, similar to twitter feeds, would be nice
Yes but no. I mean, infinite scrolling looks like a good idea, but I find more cons than pros. By example, it has a bad time with old computers (and new computers, if you scroll enough); unlike pages, scrolling leaves all the content on the page, so your computer's memory is going to suffer. Also, if you scrolled until point 10434 and then forget its tab then close the browser, when you open it again and load the tab, it's going to try to go down to that position, getting all the other skins in the way. With pages, however, it only gets the 25 it needs, so it's way faster. Plus, unlike scrolling, you can share the link with the page (okay, not sure why would you want to do that, but I'm just saying).
TL;DR I can't see it working well...- The skins' fading in effect as the page loads seems to happen twice (doesn't seem like intended behavior) and gets obtrusive after browsing the site for a while
I think it's fixed now.- The thumbnails view contains many elements with explicitly defined widths and heights, which results in some off-centered text and images, for example http://puu.sh/3fbtU.jpg. The "title" div is given a width of 270px, while its parent div contains only 230px of useable space due to 30px padding on both sides. When the browser interprets the div it obeys its parent's left padding with a higher priority, so the div is placed 20px to the right of where it should be.
Oh great, technical feedback! No really, I love it, helps me a lot. Fixed margins, now everything is correctly aligned (at least in Chrome).- http://puu.sh/3fbgl.png This hurts my eyes
Funny thing, I was going to change it before I saw your post. Great minds...- I find the text shadows in the thumbnails view make things harder to read (http://puu.sh/3fc5V.png vs http://puu.sh/3fc5A.png)
I think it makes them easier to read... Oh well, removed it. Let's see if anyone complains about its disappearance.- I would prefer seeing more details on the list view over its current clean layout, especially if sorting is added in the future
Sure thing. While we're at it, I'll make the sections smaller on hover; currently it's the double of the height.
Thanks! It was exactly my intention since day one. I also saw that people suggested a 'beatmap list' for skins, but nobody ever did one... So it was a great opportunity to challenge myself and my 'skills' for a good cause.Martinawa Hatsuhi wrote:
¡INCREÍBLE! ¡UN ESPAÑOL HACIENDO ALGO PRODUCTIVO PARA LA COMUNIDAD DE OSU!
Ok, now seriously. You're doing a great job trying to host every skin in a theorically stable site since some hosting sites don't guarantee that kind of stability (e.g. puush, the most used uploading service here for obvious reasons). I like skinning and I love to see skins and how people likes to do their skins so, if their link is broken, this is a good mirror to preserve them.

Some things I think are needed right now:
-You should make browsing better by adding page number buttons instead of only "back" and "next". You now may have a few skins, but if you're going to host hundreds, or thousands of them, it can become annoying going backwards or forwards several times.
I had something related to that in mind, but I was thinking more about saving osu!'s version. I'm all open to any ideas.Martinawa Hatsuhi wrote:
-The osu! skin compendium is good, but Completed Skins are better. If you're going to dedicate an entire section of your page to the Skin Compendium, then you may consider to dedicate another section to Completed Skins. Maybe they are fewer, but you're ensured that every part of the skin is skinned according the same pattern, making them something unique in skinning and REALLY worthwhile to be preserved.
Fixed... It was a dumb problem with a function.Martinawa Hatsuhi wrote:
-News page is, literally, an empty page. Of course, you should fix that.
I've been always updating it. Quite slowly and on places nobody will notice, but... I haven't discontinued it.Martinawa Hatsuhi wrote:
It's only my opinion about the page so take it or leave it, but I'd like that you continue with this project. ¡Muchos ánimos!
Oh, don't worry; it's a way to get more users (and luckily, more uploaders; I have a funny ratio users/users_with_uploads).Martinawa Hatsuhi wrote:
EDIT: Just noticed this is a 5-month necro. Anyways, I'd be glad if you're reading this in any point of the future
In fact, the osu! Skin Compendium is a thread that tries to compilate all the skins avaiable in the vast osu! skins subforum in one only site. You're already trying to do that with your page, with the exception of giving the freedom to all osu! users to post their skins there without having to wait any confirmation to be there. So having the osu! Skin Compendium as a section of a page that tries to be an skin compendium looks a kind of redundant and even silly. You of course can have all that skins in your page, but having them separated of the rest because of appearing in a list that has only a random bunch of skins is maybe a bit too much.comentarinformal wrote:

Should it be a simple checkbox? Or a file-by-file check? Which one is best on the long term, if any of them?
It needs some grey matter invested into it. When I'm finished with the always-breaking uploader I'll look at what to do next.
I will! It's just that I've been recently busy looking for ways to give it more stability in case something happens. This is the graph from Dec.1 until today. Those spikes are scary, ain't them?_index wrote:
Are you going to continue project? Just found and it looks awesome. But i suggest you to remove "preview" pictures and instead of it use a simple algorithm:
...You might be right, however we've got now the problem of popularity. That compedium drives thrice the amount of users going to the most seen skin (this month, eight thousand). Removing it would make people leave earlier...Martinawa Hatsuhi wrote:

I don't really want to upload more skins without having previously the author's consent. I already did it once with the Compedium, and I didn't really like it (the same way I wouldn't want people to reupload my things without my permission).Martinawa Hatsuhi wrote:
Completed Skins, although, have a difference respect the rest of the skins, and that is that all the skins there have all or almost all their elements skinned. Of course, they may be more skins out of there that are complete, but you're sure that the ones inside there are complete because there is a control before they are moved there. So you maybe should be more aware of them. They are not many of them so you can upload all of them and dedicate its special place, as they have in the skinning subforum. At least, find the ones that are already in the page and list them.
Done!Martinawa Hatsuhi wrote:
Tagging the current ones, though, is doable. I'll get to that too when I get the completed skins page done.
As an additional suggestion, you should think about a tag/category system. Maybe thematical skins are easy to find (e.g. Touhou, Vocaloid, etc.), but conceptual or pro skins are really difficult to find by their name because you can expect almost anything of them.
Nonono, probably a missunderstanding here. You SHOULD use "cache images", even if they are created by system, cuz otherwise it will be a huge lag spike for users when they want to check skins preview.comentarinformal wrote:
Anyways, I've had something like your idea in mind for a long time (rather than a static image, a full animation trying to resemble how it would look ingame. Crazy? Maybe, but eh, I'm the one who started making a skins db.)
Looks like, queuing said preview images (in order to avoid even more wait for the uploading process), it could work...
After I finish with other suggestions, I'll sure get on that one.
I'm open for a help, pm me if you need it. Some of my friends working on their own skins for fun, but would like to share if there will be a place, i guess.comentarinformal wrote:

I now this thread is pretty old, but how does one exactly download a skin from the database??? The download it button does nothing but take me to the top of the page where their is no way of downloading the skin.
