Why not just give everyone PSD files and let them color themselves? Or set up some sort of generator software?

I mean, people could recolor their skins even without the PSD files, if they felt so inclined. Setting up some sort of generator software is more work, I'd wager. I'm a bit of a hypocrite, since I'm also offering up suggestions, but I think both of those don't really solve the problem.

dude i love the new update! can't wait for mania skinned!

Patch system is ok I think. Even if people don't have photoshop, there's GIMP and Paint.NET, there should be plenty of tutorials on basic layering and colorizing, so I don't see a huge problem in that.
Software, on the other hand, I can't program either, but that would be the most user-friendly solution IMO.

I might be able to do SD (scaling down from HD), but I don't wanna do it in the middle of your work and/or find some sounds that you can choose from. Also, grab WubWoofWolf's v1.5, there might be some there

EDIT1: Let me get my feedback. Obviously (or not) all of this is my opinion, you may argue however you want, I'll not change it

I found a good workover for HD, use 1280x800 (16:10) or 1440x900 (8:5, not available) letterboxed if you don't have a 1080p monitor. This is what I'll be using

Things that I don't like:
Cursor:
- It doesn't expand on clicking, but the light does
- Trail isn't a solid line

Song screen:
- When starting a song, the UI gets glitchy (which I understand)
- I don't like that there are acronyms there, not so newbie friendly
- the border and song thumbnail aren't aligned properly (look at the bottom line)
- Back button isn't labeled
- osu!cookie is covered

Gameplay:
- Miss is taken from your Sky skin (WIP in nutshell)
- Warning arrows are too small for my taste
- You should add more variants of reverse arrows: Two arrows, Full Ring, Arrow in a circle, Arrow in a ring, Reverse symbol, half of ring outside/inside/on border of slider
- Spinner looks nice, but I it's too aesthetic for the "pros" IMO
- Speaking of the spinner, the glow might trigger epilepsy people
- It would've been nice for dots and bigger numbers
- Hit bursts just demand a number in the green color (300,100,50) and not a dot. Also centered and above cursor
- Did you know that you could also skin the leaderboard numbers? It's scoreentry-XYZ or sth like that. It's in Seouless' v7, which you can get through Cookiezi's user page
- Score bar should have a line that marks off 100%
- Combo colors should be changed to shades of green, that red and purple seems off with this green and black theme
- Countdown seems too small for my liking
- Small ranking letters should have the same color as the entire theme
- Too bad you can't change the pie color :/

Ranking:
- I don't like that there are acronyms there, not so newbie friendly
- Back button should[?] touch with graph
- Ranking letters are too small, they should be about 3 times bigger than text
- letters "SC" aren't lined up to the score
- Back button isn't labeled

If sounds seem to be too much of a hassle, you could always ask Garin for the menu sounds of his YUGEN skin. They're pretty neat hehe and simple. Could fit in quite well, I think.

Edit: I'd like to add some stuff to what TheMadCharles said, actually.

- The cursor just doesn't really fit the skin's theme of dark and flat aesthetics. It looks cool, yeah, but it just stands out too much as something that looks like it came from another skin.

- The acronyms are not bad IMO, since it's easy to make out what each means if you have minimal familiarity with the game.
- Also the border and song alignment is small but it's one of those "can't unsee" things so it'd probably be better to fix it asap.
- An acronym could be added to the back button when you hover over it or something so that it'd be labeled but still would maintain the overall feel of the skin. Also regarding the back button: that blue line on top of the back button when you hover over it seems kind of out of place, especially since when you hover over the other buttons (options, random, etc) they don't have that blue line.
- osu!cookie being covered I think is inevitable. Haven't seen a skin that managed to get past that yet.

- hit0 being taken from the Sky skin might be a result of the skin being WIP but it still should be noted that the miss shouldn't occupy that much space for a pro skin. Right now missing with this skin is even worse because the miss effect is pretty distracting and might cause you to miss more stuff.
- More reverse arrow variants is a really good idea, but if it's too much trouble it might be better to put it aside in favor of prioritizing other stuff.
- A simple spinner is included under the "preferences" folder that comes with the skin.
- As for the spinner glow: just adding a blank spinner glow file to the preferences folder should be good enough.
- Bigger dots and numbers is preference, maybe you could enlarge them with Photoshop and upload it to save -yuo- some time?
- Dots for hitbursts is better because they're less distracting, but again, it's preference. On the subject of hitbursts could we have smaller hitbursts as well? In clearer colors? Because I can't tell from a 100hit or a 50hit with the current hitbursts.
- As for the scorebard having a line that marks off 100%... What do you mean by that, TheMadCharles?
- Countdown being too small is the same as the bigger dots and numbers, just enlarging them and uploading for -yuo- to add to the preferences folder would solve it.
- As for the small ranking letters, I think the contrary. It'd be better to have larger versions of them show up on the scoreboard, since just having one color for every ranking looks pretty meh. Also having "S+" for SH is pretty weird.
- Combo colors IMO shouldn't be changed to shades of green because they wouldn't stand off enough. But yeah the red and purple look off. Maybe using white, grey, or maybe the shade of blue used on the back button hover would be good?

- Same stuff as before with the acronyms, maybe just add one more letter to the acronyms... "scr" for score, "cmb" for combo and "acc" for accuracy should look better.
- Back button touching with graph isn't really necessary IMO, it looks good as is.
- "sc" not being lined up is another "can't unsee".
- Back button not being labeled is same as before: maybe add an acronym at best. Just adding "back" would look pretty off.

And adding to the "can't unsee" pool, the blue bar above the ranking tab isn't lined up as well. https://puu.sh/tSOtZ/3cc04e3686.png

Edit 2: I forgot to mention that the sliderb and sliderfollowcircle elements look kind of out of place as well.

Edit 3: forgot to mention that the followpoints look pretty off. Like, they look kinda blocky or something, they just don't seem smooth. It'd probably be better to borrow another skin's followpoints. Also, if you could maybe edit this https://puu.sh/tSU76/17ca27c3a9.png hitcircle to be a bit more transparent and maybe increase the resolution, it'd look way better than the current ring hitcircle options. I can't because I'm shit at paint.net.

Edit 4: https://puu.sh/tSUZG/92205bd0d7.png - don't know if it's like that with every skin but seems like the scoreboard is a bit too short.

I don't want to upscale because I'll end up making it very blurry. I use Cubic Interpolation in GIMP 2.8

Make the scorebar a rectangle or put 100% on its right side, just like in Sky

TheMadCharles wrote:

https://puu.sh/tTYq8/a89d37044c.png there's a blue line that would stand out if you didn't skin it. Also, the cookie expands, so you can't really draw anything up to it since it'd show over the cookie when expanded or wouldn't reach the cookie when not expanded.

Oh, right, I see what you mean now. But, I mean, there's already a darker bar on top of the HP bar that shows what's the limit. https://puu.sh/tTYTM/cbc0fdf634.png

For what it's worth, in reference to their feedback:

* Several of the criticisms that MadCharles or Firinael noted, I actually quite like - you defended most of them anyhow, but I strongly recommend that if you DO replace anything, keep the old version as an option (which, if Mods are an indicator, you appear to plan on doing anyway). The more unique elements of this skin are strong upgrades over the norms, and it's a huge part of why I favor this skin so heavily.
* For example, the dotted cursor trail is genius, and the cursor light on click is likewise amazing - even if either get tweaked, they should stay CONCEPTUALLY the same. The cursor fits the theme perfectly IMO.
* I love the miss currently. It's way less jarring (and subsequently punishing) than default / most.
* I love the stylized warning arrows. Aside from fitting the theme, they're clear indicators without being grossly prominent.
* The spinner is absolutely beautiful, I think the amount of feedback the complex spinner gives makes it worthwhile anyway.
* I actually agree that the various combo colors conflict with the green theme - before this skin, I went pretty exclusively monochrome for that reason. However, I don't think shading every combo color will help - the different color packs will be a good enough fix, I suspect. (There IS a white theme planned, iirc)

lol I'm really sorry for writing so much stuff. I know it can be tiring reading all of that. Also, as for the cursor, I just meant that it would fit better on another skin, not that it was actually taken from somewhere else.

Hitbursts: I can understand that, just doesn't fit my personal taste. I can just edit that for personal use.

S+: it does seem to be the new standard, have been seeing people call it that recently. It's weird to me but hey, if that's what everyone calls it now then it's cool. I'd personally prefer a grey S (which was the standard up until some time ago) but there's no need to stress over that.

As for the followpoints: the issue is just something I deal with a lot because of a relatively low resolution monitor. It's 1680x1050 and elements with a higher resolution look serrated, the kind of stuff you'd use antialiasing for. I'll probably just use the SD followpoints when you release them. But I guess the animation is a bit too long? I mean, it looks nice but it's not that useful for gameplay. Might be just personal taste again, so no need to stress over that as well.

ps.: the song select interface seems really poorly designed when it comes to skinning capabilites, probably this kind of stuff that peppy wants to fix with osu!lazer

Also, if it's not too much to ask, could you take a look at this cursor and see if you could make something inspired on it? It's super ok if you don't want to or don't have the time to btw, it's just that I loved the idea you had from the cursor that was in my skin edit (even if it doesn't fit the skin imo) and would like to see what you come up with this time. Here it is: https://puu.sh/u1H43/8c01250b3d.png (it's really simple but imo it looks great).

You can get WWW v1.5 on his profile

For some reason I saw that the grading (A, S, SS) would be perfect with square

I'll be waiting white variation of color because green burns my eyes.

Lol ok

Question - should the white one be like peach white or pure white?

When do you think you will start working on SD? cuz im dying to see it.

I have a couple of things up...

1. Lots of homework. LOTS

2. Small VOEZ skin update and bug fixes - (score v2 mod, options folder etc)

3. Small SKY skin fixes (mostly for the options folder i think)

4. Nightgate Sounds / Possible Full Publish for osu! mode including HD

Someone else's skin all in parallel

But, I'm working really hard and fast on skins right now, so hopefully I can get 2 and 3 done today. Wish me luck!

Edit: welp... done 2 and 3 ... nightgate will receive some work soon.

While this skin looks amazing, is amazing, furiously brilliant and looks further into then future than my chances of getting and SS on a 6* map, it does take some getting used to, after that its easy, electronic sailing.

-yuo- wrote:

I think pure white would be too much "In your face" color

While I'm here, more feedback from me

First of all, found a way to convert HD to SD in a fast way: https://www.reddit.com/r/osugame/commen ... nt_use_hd/

So I used this with 16-9 aspect ratio, 90% opacity ring & dot circles as well as simplified spinner

- Speaking of that simplified spinner because it is darker, it took more time than normal for me to realize that I had to spin
- The Miss (I think it was mentioned before) should have an alternative with just the X fading out, cuz that glow is distracting

Pretty sure I mentioned this as well, if you are targeting this skin for pro players, there should a variety of customization available. While I know it is WIP, hitbursts wouble be a nice addition. Huge/Med/Small "100" In the middle/On top and not just dots

Also, had to put 26 in hitcircle offset cuz 2 dots in 2-digit numbers

EDIT1: In the reddit post, can you confirm this comment?
EDIT2: What is the font that you use for this skin?

Thanks for the feedback.

Yes, ok. I'll go with a more yellowed colour.

Yes, I have already set up an automated Photoshop / Mac script that converts HD files to SD files. I have no problem converting to SD.
The reason why it's so long is that if i change a HD file, I'll need to change the SD file too, which can create problems and conflicts, and is also hard to handle. I'm working on all the HD files first, then after the skin completely works in HD, I'll convert it to SD.

Thanks for the info, I have been considering options for hitbursts. But since they are animated, they will take longer to make. Sorry for waits... As for the other points, I'll work on them. They'll be implemented if they work well.

'Futura, for everything and Hall Fetica for the ranking letters. I might change some fonts in the future.

Thanks alot for the update! (no one has been replying here for a long time so i was kinda getting lost as to what was happening)

-------------------ME START WORKING-------------------
UPDATED 22 APR
I plan to upload a new developer update after turning some menu sounds and animating hit bursts. This will add new elements such as sounds and other innovations but won't be as debugged. Some minor elements might be bugged but should be playable.. alignment issues and other stuff from community suggestions probs won't be done too .

Nice! Also, if you are doing those hitbursts, keep the old ones in extras plz

Of course!

Hello! just a quick bump...

I need some extra help and opinions on the hit bursts... Any suggestions? They would be really helpful!
See the post above to see my notes.'

Not to mention, the spinner too... no help lately

Bit hard for me to see this as being a pro skin, considering all the effects and distracting lights and such. Though, I'd say the skin's really great for more casual players! It looks really good so far! Cant wait to see the other colors come out, haha. Good work, dude.

(also, sorry if i'm using the forum wrong or something. Not used to this. )

Edit: Just wanted to add that I really like your skins and such!

Thanks,

Which parts are too distracting? I know the miss is, but anything else? and no, you're not using the wrong forum. don't worry about that

Thanks for the like!

hitbursts, huh? Good for colorblindness I guess cuz each type has a single shape. I don't like having 100 and 100k as 2 separate sprites. For me is distracting cuz when I have this I focus on where did I shot a 100k instead of gameplay. And I'd rather swap dots in normal's and katu's

While I'm here, for the spinner, try to integrate the- no wait, you already done that... and you don't want old-style spinner... I'm pretty sure making a glow is the only thing that you can do IMO

EDIT1 Just looked at mania, that scorebar is waaaaaaaaaaaay toooooooo high... like, it's outta there!

but imo the different shapes are annoying. (see my paragraph of stuff under the new mockups images)

btw screenshot mania lifebar? it doesn't look too far off.. its just under the acc numbers for me. *and mania not skinned yet

And finally, thanks for trying to help the spinner! i might just need to leave that as-is

WARNING

This is a fairly stable developer update for feedback purposes, I haven't fixed much problems that the community have found yet and some may still persist, the setup and preferences folder may not work as fluently too, but it's stable enough to use as a proper skin so should be all G.

SD!!! FeelsGoodMan

Looking at the first post, I think the color #3 should be purple. Also what are the color codes you plan to use?
Perhaps add another variant of hitbursts - blur out only? that spinning 50 can be distracting
And just got inspired by the skinning competition, maybe somehow cover the osu!cookie with a Nightgate logo?
Eww, another misalignment - ranking title and grade - https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/7952941
and the same screenshot - there's a little dot in the back button that I don't think there should be

omg more stuff

pause-hover | pause-click-continue/retry/back <-- you should skin those, pretty self-explanatory stuff
it always bothered me how slider ball is the same color as slider border and it's not touching the borders. Possibly a thing that I just got used to

TheMadCharles wrote:

SD!!! FeelsGoodMan

Yassssssssss

It is purple... Try viewing on a more higher quality display... as this certain purple is hard for some screens to reproduce properly... most mainstream phone displays are good.
I'm working atm so i'll give the hex codes soon.

Here are the hex codes:
⬛︎#FC2738------⬛︎#FD6C24------⬛︎#FADE4D------⬛︎#2BFDA3------⬛︎#24D3FD------⬛︎#135DFB------⬛︎#6F24FA------⬛︎#FEBAFD------⬛︎#FEEBCF--

yes, maybe

ummm i'll try fade it out at the logo, but tbh i kinda like the osu logo beind the 'glass' it looks sleeeek

I don't see any of these... maybe circle them in red? - also picked up tiny misalignments around the back button but i'm feeling lazy to fix them..

ok ok...

of course! its not done yet!

yeh, probably a personal pref there

-yuo- wrote:

Look closely - in the ranking title there are 2 lines, right? The bit that the ranking grade has only a single line and it's a tiny bit darker than it should be

sigh... does this REALLY matter?

ok, ok, adding to the low priority list....

I really admire the aesthetic vibe to it and god the sound effects are astonishing(♥A♥ ). User setup took a while but I mange wait till people start complaining about that.... Can't wait for the other colours to be available--take your time skinning them.

this is such a clean skin, it was worth waiting for that time <3

my question is, how were you able to center the percent under the scorebar like that? .-.

ItsSurreal wrote:

score-percent is a blank rectangle

ItsSurreal wrote:

my question is, how were you able to center the percent under the scorebar like that? .-.

And how did I dim the score and acc percent when playing?
And how is the back button on ranking panel different to the normal back button?
And how do I control notification popups?
And how does skinning the top of the song select work?
And how did I seemlessly get rid of that gap separating the ranking title from the ranking panel?

Answer: smart skinning, thinking outside of the image

(tldr the score-percent has a huge block of empty space to its right which pushes the numbers to the center.. As for the rest, figuring them out is more fun!) unfortunately osu hides this certain images that are oversized so that's why you can't see the percent image

soz for the braggg

lol

any progress out there m8?

It kinda feels like the spinner is wobbling a bit. Was that meant to happen?

TheMadCharles wrote:

Yes, did some fixups and mania mods.

Also experimented with some cookie colour changing algorithms, all green (green lol, i mean 'good') so far!

Nope, been wanting to fix it for a while




what was wrong with me the day i wrote this... maybe it was just autocorrect

cool skin bro, it seems really nice and futuristic, i hope see it soon in various colours.

Suggestion: i see in Diff mods icons (HR,SD,etc) it shows how many percentage increases the Score Multiplier. But only shows how much increases individually. It might look better if you do it like this for example: Hard Rock instead of show 1.06x show +0.06x or Double Time instead of show 1.12x shows +0.12x
did you understand what i mean?

Very clean gameplay design! Even though I feel like the spacing in ranking letters seem quite off, that's just a minor problem.

This skin looks great so far. There are a few things that should get some love, but I can't be bothered to elaborate on them now (on a bus to college). If I remember, I'll try to go into more depth after I'm home. My body is ready for the purple version.

I love how you constantly bring some new aspects into skinning, like the different back buttons or how you skinned the area above the search bar on the song selection screen. Keep it up. Maybe I'll get to review NIGHTGATE too.

And here's my try on CTB lul... and drops are slider balls

ScubDomino... overlaping grades in ranking panel ain't going to look good IMO

Lel, I CAN READ UR MIND -noh

Nice attempt!

oh, and overlapping grades???

YASSSSSS

Taiko is nearly done! no screenshot, cuz cant be bothered :p

lol I can actually play and read taiko now... first skin that I can actually play taiko with

umm... 4:3 resolution?

EDIT1: Just noticed in setup, big mode icons in 16-9 and 16-10/21-9 are different... it's black and color instead of transparent and color
I think old mods should get some love too
Default acc... that play-unranked looks out of place IMO

*whats 4:3?* jks, but i don't think this skin can support that cuz there are wideeee elements in it... e.g. lifebar

these don't matter, they still produce the same result as it is additive in osu.

old mods... hmm idk what to do about them...

*whats 4:3?* jks, but i don't think this skin can support that cuz there are wideeee elements in it... e.g. lifebar

just make it shorter? I am aware this may take lot of time for all elements btw

4:3 ratio. It's another name for it.

Sorry, new.ppy.sh was found and banned, I can't use osu on the web at home anymore

Not nessesarily:
Ratio refers to the shape and proportions of the screen
Resolution refers to the amount of pixels in the screen...
These two are diffdrent

But sorry, I'm not planning on making a patch for 4:3 ratio as it is an old standard....

Who the hell is blocking your access to these?! It's weird...

quick update bump which is rushed

all modes, no sd, developer preview, some items not done, i Got to go cuz in a rush, read download link for better info

I love this skin so god damn much <333

Really digging this skin- especially the cursor, mod icons, key overlay, spinner, animations, drop shadows... basically everything.

To be nitpicky, I would suggest:
1. Fixing menu-button-background.png. There's a really tiny imperfection in the border (See images below)

2. Changing or shortening menuhit.mp3. It gets loud and repetitive when clicking through the menus, and overlaps with the music on maps where you press skip, while barely missing overlap on maps without skip buttons. It also sounds as if the same button is being clicked 2 or more times. Perhaps use menu-play-click.mp3 instead, which is quieter and less annoying.

Otherwise, the thought and detail put into this skin is incredible- it's as if I were playing a different game... I mean, I've never seen a skin with a setup dialog.

HELLOOO AGAINNNNNNN

i have overcome the web bans! NYIHAHAHAHA (i hope this doesn't get found out... its like plan D already...)
seriously... SOME people can be so strict... *ahem*

so, at least i can reply now, but uploading stuff using this external server hosted in another continent is pretty hard. _ahem windows 8 too_
I think i can get free access every second saturday, but if things get out of hand i'll attempt to use this current connection method.

back to usual buisness... ish...





sorry for the delays, life gets you eh?

Um how do I install it? it is telling me to move files or something, no idea what I am supposed to do. It told me to contact you.

1. Get to the setup folder in the skin folder. Open osu! folder > Skins >" +-NGHTGT GRN[b3-5]+" > "1- Setup"
2. Determine your aspect ratio. For example, if your screen resolution is 1920x1080, then your aspect ratio is 16:9. Otherwise if you don't know, use the guides in the folder "IDontKnowMyScreenRatio" to find out.
3. Copy the skin elements for your screen ratio. Back in the Setup folder, open the folder pertaining to your aspect ratio found in step 2. So if your aspect ratio was 16:9, copy the images to the folder "for 16-9 screens" to "+-NGHTGT GRN[b3-5]+". If you're doing this correctly, you should get a dialog asking you to replace files.

Thanks for that MissUnd3rstood,

an image tutorial will be available soon

AAH! ITS A BUG!

Oh dear, just checked and i forgot to convert the folders to Standard Defenition.

Are you using standard defenition or high defenition?

because standard defenition probably won't setup properly with this bug.


I will work on squishing this bug, and i'm running out of time too...
hopefully tomorrow there will be a fix. =>

CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+S <-- make sure to reload the skin as well

EDIT1: Ummm... go look at 1st post on Compatability... that's an error

oh, and scorebar-bg ain't SD

Do note that there is now a tutorial that goes through how to set it up on the 1st post now. Under the downloads inside a spoilerbox.

but still, it's broken for SD. Fixing soon.

-------------------UPDATE b5-5, bugfix-------------------

WHATS UP?


also,

Looking for suggestions on what to do for:
- mania hitbursts, because the one being used right now is very good with readability but its not original cuz its from VOEZ skin.
- Any more prefs ideas?

to do prefs:
mania judgement laser off
catch judgement laser off
'pattern' hitcircle colour
choice of reverse arrows
edit 'unranked' sprite when displayed on the side of the screen
anymore i missed?

Big Numbers, please >_<

Beautiful! I can't wait for lilac/pink/purple

Also if you could add support for other screen sized (mine has the height of 16:10 and width of 21:9

big numbers, ok

lilac? whats this? nvm, found out its a colour, lol

and i cant really make ratios unless i have a monitor with that ratio, sorry...

*Just realised, the 21:9 ratio should work well. the elements dont really need vertical alignment, only alignment on the horizontal side. Try this and tell me how it goes...

Will Nightgate be ready to be finalized? Considering that (in my opinion) it is an art skin, I'm gonna have to use my own hitsound set and use Audacity for loads of fade outs for these interface sounds.

To be honest, clear out your entire todo list and then we can go.

EDIT1: Maybe more cursors? That dotted trail is distracting me, I'd rather have a solid long trail or no trail at all.

yeh,of course I will finish off the to-do list

and i'll add short menu sounds and cursor trail options while at it based on your suggestions too

I already have an inverted cursor, white with black outline too.

owo

HYYYYYPEEEE!!! lol

EDIT1: oh... and yea, I also mean the low priority stuff, UI misalignments and such

…Erm, the download link is broken.

Orangedox has updated their services.

New UI, more features, and less free link shares. RIP.
I'll need to switch to a different service, which might take some time. I'm also working on alot right now which means more time.

I'll be back soon for more.


(this might also affect all my skins)

Seems i accidently broke nightgate skin somehow

Reassembling from backups. Possible update with new stuff too while i'm at it

NIGHTGATE is back up!

Now using rebrandly for download counting. Check em out! (i'm not paid lol)

getting used to this new system...
