Can anyone tell Devkit4384 to create the Ranking letters from the Kingdom Hearts 2's gummi ship missions for me? Even make an X, XH and SH rank from scratch?
Can you? =x Either make or tell

Well, I decided to use the Kingdom Hearts text I downloaded and place with the other text files, but I'm going to show you one of them as a teaser.

I done some revamping.

Task complete? I don't recall there being tasks in CoM =x

Also for the 100Beat, 300Beat and 300Elite Beat you should use the Key to __________ cards???

For the pass and fail sprites, I thought that I would use the whole call the sections 'tasks' in this skin.

And yeah. I'm using cards as hit sprites.
awp
the hit300g you posted, imo, is not optimal - it's just the 300, but filled in, basically. That's why I mentioned the "Key To __________" cards (I forget their actual names, but they're something like Key To Beginning, Key To Heart, Key to Something - idk, there's also Key to Treasure but that's not necessary as you have the other 3).

You mean:

Key of beginnings, key of Guidence and Key to the truth?
awp
That sounds about right. Haven't played CoM in a few years and couldn't read the japanese when I played ReCoM so it's been a while for me.

About the 300g, I type in 'Critical hit' and left the 100k and 300k unedited... Maybe typing in 'hit' is suffice?

That seemed kind of unimaginative imo when there are better alternatives

Skin launched! Go to the first post.

What i like about this skin is the song selection screen, the background. Ranking screen, and the cursor is alright too. Coundown, beats and the slider look okay.

Look! The word, 'pixleated', is the only word that you heard coming out of 31Gabe's mouth. Since he's not there, the word that is to be said is enlarged.

Also, I don't think a single thing on this skin is wrong.
Saturos
Pixelated is a term other users were calling Gabe's skins, because they were. As is yours. It's a result of enlarging small sprites. It's looks bad.

An example of a work-around can be seen in the TWEWY skin. awp redrew Neku for the results screen by hand even though he had the sprites. He did this because enlarging the sprite would have resulted in a pixelated look.

Of course you don't, because you made it. It's an eclectic mix of your inability to see your own flaws (this is human nature), in addition to both pride and stubbornness that prevents you from being able to see your own mistakes. That's what critiques are for - other people will see flaws you have missed.

The aforementioned Neku that Saturos mentioned has been through at least eleven revisions. Granted I KNEW the first posted version was not perfect but I thought eh, whatever, it's close enough - of course, I was dead wrong. The second wasn't good, the third wasn't good, the tenth wasn't good enough - the purpose of posting things is not just to showcase it, but for others to help you improve it. Version 12 of TWEWY's ranking panel is way the hell better than Version 1, and I have osu! community to thank for that (in addition to strings of profanity and hours of frustration and labour).

I can not offer much criticism on this skin as I have not personally tried it out, but the presence of pixellation gives it an ugly sort of feel. General rule of thumb, I think, is that anything above 200% resize is too much.

Also, using sprites (exclusively) to make a skin generally does not yield good results.

Well, like I said back at the first page, sprites are my thing. What do you think of the hitcircle?
awp
it looks a bit rough, to be honest

The slider and score font look pretty awesome, but other than that, there isn't a lot I'm keen on. I'm still not too sure why you didn't go with the standard KH-CoM lifebar for the, er, lifebar. Too boring?

Nah! It's not boring to me.

Well, since you said that the card hitcircle looks rough, maybe you could ask MaxwellDemon to Vectorize some of the sprites, make a hitcircle with the Organization XIII icon, and other stuff that he could fix up? Vic said it "Pixleated", so maybe he could help out with this skin, just like he does for your TWEWY skin.

Speaking of TWEWY, is your skin close to finished? Because the partner system, to my thought, could also be used for the Kingdom Hearts skin, if I could give credit.
awp
TWEWY Skin's done - of course, it will be upgraded, and tweaks need to be made as new features become available (eg multiplayer), but it's not compatible with the current public build (found that out the hard way) so it's not available yet.

As for rendering rough pixellations - why not try google search, first? The card logo is not overly complicated, and I'm sure there are plenty of Re:CoM resources you could use.

I have the PS2 version of Chain of Memories, I could probably take screenshots of parts of the game if you'd like. Though it'd be a bit blurry since I only have S-Video connection from my PS2. Cut pieces out and vectorize them and I'm sure they'd look pretty awesome if done right.

Well, I have no I dea how to vectorize stuff, but yeah! Go ahead and send me some screenshot! ;)

I mentioned this once but I think the skin would need to be completely rehauled if that were to be done otherwise it'd just look sloppy to be half and half.
Well, I'm kinda slow right about now, but you supply me with some of your edits on them, and I'll think of it. Besides, I really appreciate some help anyways. ;)

Well excuse me, LuigiHann! I haven't played osu! or made any upgrades to my skins for about a month now and your calling my skin The WORST? I haven't touched osu! for a month and someone kinda liked this skin!

I'm sorry... :cry:

Dude... you don't get the joke.

Look at the other recent skins with new posts to them.

Expected response was expected. Test results favor Luigi's theory.

PS. It's not a joke.

Can I see LH's theory exactly?

There was a purpose to what he did. To call that a joke is not entirely correct.
