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

Thanks for that and i agree with all of your points, but what do you mean by the last one? I don't understand0Azimuth wrote:
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)
Firinael
Hmmm i say 'ok' to most your points... The new S+ standard is used even by Flyte, the official osu designer... can see on the new web...And about the cursor.... i have ideas but they don't really match nightgate skin much... Is the current one ok?Firinael wrote:
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).

Yes, that's right. The images are clickable, they'll take you to whatever they are meant to take you to. Right now only the green colour is available because the skin is still a work in progress.Firinael wrote:

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.

I might use this quote in like some promotion media... is that fine?

Question - should the white one be like peach white or pure white?
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?
Topic Starter
Thanks for the feedback.
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 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)
Yes, ok. I'll go with a more yellowed colour.TheMadCharles wrote:
"I think pure white would be too much "In your face" color"
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.TheMadCharles wrote:

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.TheMadCharles wrote:

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 .
stuff:
ADDED SHADOWS for clarity to↓ ↓ for ppl who use less bg dim
countdown
warning arrow
#spinner [not working] HELP MEEE!!! p/5925840
lifebar and score
ADDED SOUNDS:
typing (delete not yet)
Main Menu
Select Diffuculty
Section Fail / Pass
Pause / Fail
Spinner
22 apr:
Tuned some sounds and shortened main menu sounds
Added and tuned applause to ranking
NOTE TO SELF : tune the vol and maybe length of spinner reward thing and change slidertick sound to a more suited one other than the bells
todo:
back
idk.. switches?
Menu back
ADDED MISC:
Score, Song Pie and Accuracy are now dimmed during gameplay to increase focus on gameplay.
#Target and ScoreV2 mods added. [fix colour, too bright]
MISC LOG
working on new hitbursts
Just updated them, they are now rounded to match rounded style gameplay and colour filled for easier recognition (no more outline style, like a legit shape with black dot in middle)
Since I'm so tired I can't test this properly now so I'll come back later

working on new hitbursts
archived content
Implemented a test version of the new hit bursts - not animated.
They grab way to much attention, and take way too long to recognise and fully understand in the mind. When one appears, you think 'whats that?', go look at it, and miss the next note.
Fixed the 'too flashy' issue by reducing the miss to a single-lined cross, and decreased the opacity of 50 and 100 bursts in gameplay down to 50%. It's still too flashy though, or maybe conflicting with the hit circles since these are also a 'ring' with 'something inside'
It's not as flashy as before when they where 100% bright, but i still feel the old 'dots' responded better. Maybe some animations that would make the bursts easier to recognise would work.
Some ideas i have that might fix things:
Add a quick 'Zoom In' (up FROM the middle, or down from a large size then TO the middle) and then slightly rotate the shape slowly, until it fades out, keeping the dot in the middle stationary and fading out.
Using only the triangle and not the diamond for hit 100. This might be the cause of the recognition issues because remembering five different shapes (tri, tri with dot, diamond, diamond with dot, cross) are taking memory. A diamond is also very loosely related to a warning, thus the user needs to remember what it means in this context, which is not good. Everyday standards should be used for faster perception, as one already knows what they relate to.

= SS song cards are misaligned. I'll try fix, but last time i realised the thumbnail actually moves down about 2 px when clicked onto
Gameplay
= Miss is based on sky, but its edited. I find bigger miss elements more alerting and make me fix myself up faster, but might add options.
# Reverse arrows are a good idea.
= Dots are included, Bigger numbers were a distraction when prototyped.
= Numbered hitbursts conflict with the circle numbers. They also take longer for your brain to read
+ Havent skinned leaderboard numbers yet. Will do.
= All green combo colours make it hard to look for the next circle after a colour combo. (edit: I gonna try change them to more vibrant ones)

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.

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

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

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.
Right before I opened the skin folder...
first of all, eww, Fade In
and second, where did the customization folder go?

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

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

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.

Yes, cool idea, but does it match the multiplier logic? e.g. HD, HR, FL, DT = 1.41, but if it's additive then it should equal 1.36
and also it might be confusing to others?? idk...
I fully accept the idea, but how will everyone else accept it? This is why I'm reluctant to add. Maybe i'll add in prefs, labeled 'additive display' or something

My re-colouring methods seem all good to go, so after all this is done, it should be easy to change colour using automation. Looking forward to it!

*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...
which one? centred or not?
TAIKO DONE, MANIA IN PROGRESS

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

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.

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.

that big bug in the setup folder rendering the whole skin unusable for standard defenition has been removed.

The prefs folder isnt converted to SD yet though, will do once new elements come into there.

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

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.

It bothered me all the time, I think the main color of the skin shouldn't be a combo color as well
More Requests:
Cursors: no trail, no expanding glow <-- I just did that and wow, it removed a lot of "weight" for me... so phycological
and what about short trails?
Cursor smoke: smooth line, dark[?], small/med/big
Scorebar with a playfield box/lines* <-- this might be pretty hard for 21:9
More Slider Follow Circles... other than that glow, also color ring, white ring, none, small/med/big**, transparent?
Follow Points maybe?
Slider balls... filled to the borders, white ring, color ring
Geez, remove these shadows >_< I know this is a nice gimmick, but I can't read old-style stacks (Scatman)
Dark score numbers... weird one, I know
Just looked at Taiko, some elements aren't properly scaled
same with mania, but lightingN only
*The way you do that - make a 128x128 pure white square hitcircle, go to editor and put 4 of them to all corners on the same timestamp. Then let AT play and make a screenshot before AT hits them. Open that screenshot in the image editor and you can make a border outside of them but crop out 10px from top of the box you're going to make. Hope this helped lol
** Take a look at Rafis' and Piggey's skin, their follow circs are ending very close to the slider bodies, removing clutter from the playfield. Keep in mind, they are mostly speed players.
I wish I could live chat with you :/

Really good skin.
There's a few things you could improve :
- When releasing, remove the .DS_store files by editing the .osk with a Zip application. They are just useless.
- add 4:3 plz
- Mania lightings are really distracting. I would reduce the opacity to ~25%.
