Can't Play During Kiai Time

For some reason, the bright, flashy stuff (the brighter background and pulsating brightness of the hitnotes) makes it nearly impossible for me to play taiko during Kiai time because I can't see anything. If this is supposed to be like a artificial difficulty raiser, then I understand, if that's not the purpose of Kiai time, is there a way to disable all this flashy stuff? My main mode is standard and I'd like to play a bit more of taiko but this small issue is making it extremely discouraging.

You can't disable the flashing notes, but as for the brighter background, you can make your taiko-bar-right-glow.png EXACTLY the same as your taiko-bar-right.png, or if they aren't in your skin folder yet, you can just put these 2 files into there. Hope that helps.

This helps a lot thank you. The flashing notes is a little bothersome, but its primarily the background that gets me. This will make taiko much easier to play, thank you.

My god this was so helpful, THANK YOU. I had the same problem as OP, and putting these two files into a new folder within Skins helped immensely.

The other way is to build your own skin with other kind of "kiai" appearance. For example, just look at my customized skin and kiai time:



Kiai at 1:40.

There is also 1 folder called "User" but I only found "skin.ini" inside...

Since it was already necro'd:
how do you modify the kiai time like acrith did?

This is a generic blank skin with kiai skinned away.

You might need to modify the two taiko-bar files if they look weird with your screen resolution or something.
If you keep the files as-is, you'll have no visible kiai time.
But you can edit taiko-bar-right-glow and taiko-glow to have whatever kind of kiai time you want.
