I searched for this (query: combo colors inurl:f=4) and surprisingly found nothing... fully expected to see a thread with this shot down!

It's a pretty simple request. I have a map that I'm making where I have a reason to want 26 combo colors... it's something of a medley of many characters' themes and the characters have colors associated with them, see. It's not necessary or anything (and could maybe be done with storyboarding?) but it would be a really nice touch to the people who get it. I understand if you think this is ridiculous. (especially if you saw my last map where I insisted on using just one combo color!)

Please don't just reject this because it could be used to make rainbow deathstreams... (not that I am against this, but it seems like the big reason to shoot this down?)

8 is what I had in mind. I don't agree with going much higher than this, since the more colours you use, the less impact each one has. Most professional graphics designs don't use all that many distinct colours for this reason.

Finding all the hardcoded instances of 5 is something I was saving for a rainy day.

8 is more than perfect. You can have two fully-themed color sets. I remember 5 pissing me off on chipscape since I wanted to have the standard 4-colors plus a black/white for the static.

Ooh, nice. Would you be planning to allow for more via editing the .osu file? It doesn't have to all be crammed into the GUI. I'd definitely agree that most beatmaps have no use for tons of colors... but I say "most" and not "all" because of the map I am making that prompted me to make this thread to begin with. ;)

If not, then hey, I can maybe do more with 8 than with 5. So good either way.

Should also have the ability to set different combo colour schemes per timing section (a request I've had since the beginning).

Oh my God YESSSS. This would be extreeeemely useful, especially when one is only using 1/2 colors once or twice during a map and it's super annoying to manually set nearly every new combo.

I'd support this, but yeah, i'm out of votes. Weren't we supposed to get new ones to use per month or something?

Limitless idea looks more interesting.

And even if going by MM's suggestion, 10 would be more lovely than 8.

Reasonable feature even though wouldn't find that much of a real use.

(+) Increased combo colour limit to 8.

Limitless involves a significant UI rethink, and would see such limited use there's no real point. Anyone using an obscenely high number of colours is probably doin' it wrong anyway.

I can honestly say, that's a nice color combo.. I'm not a beatmapper but I like different colors. ;D

Too bad about no limitless... oh well. 8 is much better than 5. Time to start using test build for mapping~
