Just like the Skywriting Smoke was something fun/interesting to add on to Osu, I just wanted to post my considerations that may be taken for development.

1. DL custom skin when spectating: Basically, perhaps a "Temp Spec" folder is created where when you (if you choose to) view other people's replays or while spectating them you can see what skin they are playing with and then can later be discarded from the "Temp Spec" folder or even even auto-remove when logging out.

2. Creating different "S" ranks for using different mods. Just like we have a silver S for when using HD or two yellow S's when 100%ing a song (default S skin), I was considering other "S" colors for other mods. i.g.: Red S for HR, red and silver S for HD HR.

I even took some time to make some samples! (Please mind that my photoshop skills aren't the best....)

HR "S" http://gyazo.com/2499d784e8e8ff14d9ae3ecc8f3f8265

(I was trying to get the original color of the "D" rank for this, but as I mentioned before my photoshop skills aren't great. i.g.: http://gyazo.com/6a0bc95ffc285c04588d703320cecfbf)

HD HR "S" http://gyazo.com/578818561447913624ffe2fb25a08aca

HD DT "S" http://gyazo.com/35a153747608691ec0a101266814829b

FL "S" http://gyazo.com/59577ec8681b8e365153dae80558c677

HD FL "S" http://gyazo.com/f697260fdc68be15569135624f5a9c0e

HD HR DT FL "S" http://gyazo.com/38b9843cca6acf58561953bfb7ad1812

I think that the first option might be taken for consideration more than the second because of the use of custom skins, including ranks, but I'm just happy to share my ideas.

Let me know what you think guys, thanks. :)

p.s. Another add on can be something like having a timeline on the bottom of the map when spectating someone's replay so you can just move to that point in the map (can be useful for watching your own replays if you want to improve at a certain point in the song).

Moved to Feature Requests. Development is not the right place. ;)

I want different colours on the S depending on mod! Nomod shouldn't have the same as dt or hr at least!

Exactly! I thought it would be a nice addition.

How does 1 sound invalid? Also, sorry about the duplicate and gotcha.

Replays don't save this data and you can't see what skin they were using when they make a replay anyways. The same goes with spectating. also people may not want their skin to be auto downloaded to some random spectator's folder. Maybe if it was a packaged skin or some manually configurable option it could be links via a command by the player to link his skin to be downloaded.

Yes, I know that. Hmm, then like when I was mentioning there can be options to disable people from downloading skins just like there are other options users can disable. This is why I was considering a temporary folder or however the replays are downloaded for viewing.

Yeah, again, I just thought it would be a cool addition instead of just viewing your own skin all the time (which I don't mind).

It would be interesting. I would want to disable it, because it will take time to download a skin and that takes up disk space.

I just calculated all the skins I have (and don't use) and it roughly takes up 340mb (I have around 30). So around one episode of 720p anime. I can see what you mean about the disk space. I'd probably just include a "delete replay skins upon logging out" button.

Thanks for replying!

There is a possibility that the player (who is being watched) will complain about this because it consumes bandwidth from them.
Specially to people that has limitations on how much they can download for a certain time.

So another toggle (that peppy probably hates) will be made for this if the user will enable/disable this.

Thanks for your input. This is another reason why users can disable it (if it consumes more bandwidth). I assume peppy probably hates it because of bandwidth issues?

Agreed. I know some people (don't expect I'll mention them) are using those kind of contents.
