Misc. latest Use this in distributed skins that require the latest version of skinning. (different from labeling the skin folder "User")

If you all would use your brains, everyone won't put up anymore questions.

Simply said: latest is always the latest version osu! supports. The most recent one is 2.5 and therefore latest is set automatically to it.
The thing with "YOU SHOULD NOT USE LATEST FOR DISTRIBUTED SKINS" is that your skin is for a certain skin version and future versions may change a lot of stuff. When you use latest, it will theoretically break parts of your skin without intention in future versions. That's why.

Osu now seems to be ignoring "columnstart"
I would really rather not play with the column stuck on the left side of the screen

come to think of it, it's ignoring the INI files completely, despite working perfectly fine a week ago.

Make sure that you use a skin.ini-file and not a skin.txt or skin.ini.txt file.

Also for the lines themselves, check for the proper capitalisation (e.g ColumnStart) and put them in the right section (e.g. [Mania]).

Thanks, it's starting to come together now that I created a franken-ini out of all the old ini files the skin's author had.

Look at all the 1 post count and they are mostly quotes. They don't care to read a few posts after that to overlook the answer.

And yes, I'm using the "Version: 2". Should I just move the "taiko-drum-inner/outer.png" or you will fix this?

  1. If you just want to replace a few elements of the default skin (ie. cursor), make sure your skin is named "User". This will ensure you are always using the latest skin version (even without a skin.ini).
I am confused in this part. Can someone explain?

Does "Version: latest" default to the behaviors used in "Version: 2" or is there plans for a new version?

The way you worded the post, it sounds like "Version: latest" is not suggested for skin distribution.

Just trying to future proof stuff.

You can either edit your elements or change your skins version...

To fix the issue via editing, your inner and outers should occupy a full half width of taiko-bar-left.
SPOILER

bar-left is 360x400px @2x (180x200px 1x)
inner & outers are 180x400px @2x (90x200px 1x)

this occurs on my taiko mode too.

You have the wrong version being used on your skin it should be version 2...

edit: For better clarity your skin needs to be "whole" including all game mode elements utilizing either version 1 or 2 not both.[/spoilerbox]

Nice necro.

Make sure all of your png names are exact. You don't need the .osk though, just drag and drop the file into your skins folder.
Make sure to include a skin.ini as well, those are important
