i don't remember asking a question to you, i want to know if can still delete skins... since i am a competitive player, skin is for me just as important as SB/BGmovie so plz give me a answer... and not this story

When you reach some high level playing this you'll notice deleting the background when playing with AR 10 or doing high BPM DTs is really a big help. With serious stuff I mean that, not trying to do some insane map with an A/S. Feel free to ask most top players if they actually play very hard maps with all the stuff a mappers adds to it (uncomfortable skins, flashy SBs/BGs, etc).adam2046 wrote:

I can't really think of any way that the proposed system could be improved.
...Yet somehow I get the feeling there'll still be some "disable storyboard without playing" threads.

Here's how it works: Storyboards are always played the first time you play a map. This cannot be bypassed. They will always play once. After you pass the map once on any difficulty, a new toggle option will appear, allowing storyboards to be disabled on a per-play basis.
So just do DT + AutoPlay and wait for the map to end to play it... is there any real need to waste time doing that? I mean seriously, if a player wants to see the SB, he will, but some mappers love doing storyboards so much that they forget the map is meant to be played and not to be watched. Having to "play" it or "watch" it to be able to disable it is, in my opinion, a waste of time.peppy wrote:

Autoplay doesn't count as passing it since Autoplay is a 'replay'.peppy wrote:

I'm really glad that there is going to be a skin toggle (if i've understood your post correctly). I can usually not play a beatmap if it has a different skin than the one i'm using or standard, no matter how little difference it has.peppy wrote:
If there is a storyboard toggle, there will also be a skin toggle.
This is very true. Usually bad skins are the skins which have fake edges where the hit circle isn't really there, so you end up clicking on the end of the skin, thinking you're hitting the circle but you're not. Then they have stupid spinners where you can't see the point in the middle and an intrusive background where you can't see the notes that follow up a spinner. This isn't in the least bit fun it's ANNOYING.Dragvon wrote:

As for people who usually say skins ruins gameplay, i think that's an issue with the modding team... It's kinda dumb that if a skin is so bad to play that no one point's that out :3

Then you are playing an unranked map. (if a ranked map runs this slow it should be unranked, no matter the specs of your pc.)Wishy22 wrote:

It sounds like I'm making a joke but no, I'm sure almost everyone deletes everything in a map folder except for the MP3 and the map itselfs when playing serious stuff, which means using your own skin + black background (sometime grey or other color because of dark colored hits).I do that as well, I also delete most custom hitsounds cause i'm more at ease with my own.
Some skins have almost undistinctable hit images, like K-ON's skin, you don't really know if you are hitting 300 100 or what, some other skins (like some Bleach skin there's around) are just awful for playing, the hits are huge and innecesarily flashy, they are just a nuisance when playing (I don't even want to think about playing hidden with that kind of skins). As I said before and Derekku even said I was somehow right, maps shouldn't have any skin on them, they should use the "load skin from skins folders" feature, like maps like Hourai Victim by 3L do, if you want to use Touhou skin on maps it fits, then download it and have it on your skins folder, this doesn't only make maps lighter but makes the user able to easily decide if he wants to use custom skins or just his skin.Dragvon wrote:

I'm sorry for them but there are many maps that are kinda unplayable with their skins/bg/sb's, if mappers want users to enjoy their work they should begin with understanding this is a game where we, to begin with, play, it's nice to have some nice stuff to watch while playing, but that's secondary, the main event is playing and if the scenery cuts into the gaming, then something's wrong. As I think I said, personally I (almost) always end up playing maps with SB and that stuff if I'm not looking for some hard FC/rank, but there are some maps that I just can't play with their SB, and that's not my fault, it's the mapper's fault for making a SB way too distracting or blinding (yellow shit on the SB, yellow and orange hits, horray you can't see a thing).peppy wrote:

I am also strongly against adding a background toggle. If you want to play a game where you are hitting single-coloured circles on a black background, go make your own ouendan clone . Another way of expressing this would be that you have to draw the line between competition and fun somewhere. I don't know any arcade rhythm game that let's you turn off all the flashes, background and video (this is sometimes a toggle).
In this case, can we make backgrounds with large areas of solid white unrankable, and haxsubmit dimmed backgrounds onto all of these?peppy wrote:

Ranked a few days ago, a lot of players have to delete the SB to properly play it without lag.

Really, take me back to 2007, when noone complained about anything, and we all played everything without complaining everytime.
Peppy just proposed a really nice way to have a compromise with all the storyboard toggle that were requested in the past (and he wasn't forced to do so), he proposed a nice idea with a good implementation and you're still bitching because you don't even want to watch a SB ONCE?

When I travel or I'm not at home I got my notebook with me, and I get low FPS there with Low-End PC thing on, I just can't play maps with videos or storyboards, meaning if I want to play there in the future I'll have to wait for the whole map to be autoplayed for playing it, don't you think that's just dumb? I mean seriously do you want me to watch the screen like an idiot for let's say 2 minutes for playing a map? I think it doesn't make any sense at all, really.Card N'FoRcE wrote:

No reason to force something which people are going to do anyway. I'm thinking of multiplayer, where it's nice to disable a bad SB/skin when you know it's bad because someone else tells you or you know about the problems but haven't played the map before. I'm not sure how you will handle the "first played" thing either. Isn't that a locally stored thing? If so, it's easily skippable without actually playing the map, or you can just make another difficulty with one note, which would be faster than auto double time. Not to mention, you can just run the auto-DT and walk away from the computer.peppy wrote:

how can you delete this SB? it is amazingI watched it once but when i had to set my record i had to "rename" (not delete) the SB folder.
deleting not untill my osu! folder passes 300gb and even then I may buy a dedicated hard disk for osu!Card N'FoRcE wrote:
Oh god, guys never play my maps, delete them.
I'm serious, I do my best thinking about how to make every skinned element/BG/SB as playable as possible (maybe i didn't a lot of time ago but i do now) and then i get people who removes everything i spent hours for.
Don't play my maps if you want to remove stuff, ever.
I still don't understand why I'm able to play AR9 and some AR10 maps (AR10 maps with HR) even with the storyboard on.
Either I'm crazy or there's a problem with your computers.
So, I still don't understand why everyone removes everything, give me some good explanation with some evidence.
@JesusYamato: deleting or "renaming", at the end both of them lead to the same result.
Oh well! Maybe it does matter to me because I (or better: WE mappers) make the maps YOU (players) play?JesusYamato wrote:
Why does it matter to you if i disable your skin or not? Plenty of other users will still see it .
