HELLO!
Welcome to my very first skin - Sky!

This skin is made to be clean and innovative. Something beautiful, but not flashy. It's also home to many new concepts that enhance gameplay, (well, for 3.0 anyway. in 4.0 i scratched that and made things more aesthetic than easy.... :? ). Of course, If you prefer some other design options, there's always the options folder! Here you can change a lot of the elements, not just turn them on or off, but actually change them. You can even customise the scorebar! If you don't have the software, no problem. follow the instructions included to request for one, I'll try make it as soon as possible.


--v4.2--
Added Score v2 mod
Fixed up options folder to support the new update

--v4.1--
Added more colour in the form of animations
New hitbursts

--v4.0--
INTRODUCING COLOUR!
Enhancements to readability (in my opinion)
Mania skinned! Sorry not centred... i have a slow osu build so thats very hard to do
New sounds!

--OPTIONS v3.0.1--
Fixes:
There seemed to be a problem that otakupingu, LERUfic, and Mozu found... Thanks so much for letting me know!
I attempted to fix this, hopefully it works on windows now. I tested it and it works fine for me, but let me know if it doesn't work.


--v3.0.1--
Fixes:
When this was 3.0, I uploaded the one that I was working on. oops. It's been fixed now, so it's the "latest latest" version.
Minor changes from there were made, mainly debugging.

--v3.0--
Improved:
Cursor
Spinner - Better
Target Practie Mod Icon (but not sure how to skin target practice gameplay)
Follow point improved animation
Combo is transparent - less distracting
Buttons - rounded now, more clear to new players.

New:
Target Practice Mod (but not sure how to skin target practice gameplay)
With the new items made in version 3.0, I added more options with the things I changed. So you can still revert back to the old versions of things if you like them better.

Fixes:
Approach Circle is fixed (results vary from person to person) - added a black shadow so the edges are more distinguishable
Cursor - made more visible, and looks cooler

--v2.1--
New:
Mod Label ON/OFF option added in options folder.
Drums ON/OFF for ranking
a few more...

Fixes:
Mods fixed. They are now more beautiful.. nah just kidding
Menu Back fixed
New Menu Click sound
Installation bug should be fixed...
skin.ini error fixed
Pause-fail works for widescreen now.

--v2.0--
Heaps of options added! (in the seperate options folder download)

Fail-screen is still the same, still using the 16:10 ratio. (could anyone screenshot the fixed fail screen found in the comments? i need to calibrate the 'failed' text on it.)

--v1.0--
First Release





ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The skin is a greatly modified version of the '2014-08-06+(For+Sharing)' skin, which was sent by a friend. It seems it's lost in the internet though...
The details in it's skin.ini:
Name: 2014-08-06 (For Sharing)
Author: Startrick (Modified by ril)
Some elements from it remain the same, like the ranking letters, menu back and most hit sounds.

Elements from YUGEN by Garin were used as a base for some items

ummm... Some more sounds got taken from even more skins. I've asked all I could, but I don't remember which is from where... sorry if I used yours!

I used Santana (normal), Hiragino Sans and Avenir Next.. The one you see on this post is Santana. You'll find it in the skin pack, or maybe 'sold separately' in a second download for the options.

btw, Its a saying. this is not actually paid :/

Finally! :3
Edit: http://puu.sh/monEL/39a36a99c1.jpg here is the screenshot of the main menu you wanted, right? D:
The menu-background needs to be a .jpg file. (http://puu.sh/monJw/d75ce325e3.jpg)
Haruto
uh... the fail-background seems like "halfed" you know what i mean.
its like, not the whole screen covered by the background
it only covers on the centre of the screen.
also for the hit-circle. i think it size should be a bit bigger. the current one is interrupts my reading tho ;w;

imo the skin is great. very simple, modern-look and glowy. i really like it :3
keep up the good work UO!

looks neat

Wow, looks great, good job!!

star2.png needs to be more smaller, it's too distracting in kiai time.
The hitcircle looks ugly in sliders, they need to be more bigger
The fail-background.png doesn't fit at all in the screen like pause-background.png
The selection mods icons need more work, the selection-mod-nightcore looks ugly

This skin is very great, I wating for view this in a final version in the future!
Emdyion
I assume you want to change the style of the spinner to the OLD spinner style?

In that case, I think you should look at this: https://osu.ppy.sh/wiki/Skinning_Tutori ... rd#Spinner

Apparently the new style is used when there is no spinner-background.

Skin looks pretty good.
I had a bit of trouble reading with these approach circles (especially when the circles are close/stacked where it's a bit hard to see them), but it might just be something to adapt to.

Keep up the great work!
Adrelandro
"I cant get the spinner to change... anyone know how?"

It might be the skin Version.. as peppy said never use latest i think 2.5 is the latest version so yea also what exactly aren't you able to change the spinner in general or just parts of it? from Version 1 to 2 the filenames got completly changed

Edit: can't seem to download the skin sry

Could you two screenshot the failed and pause screen please?

also here's a debugging tool:


i put some personal notes on it, ignore those, but you can see 'MY SCREEN'
the screens your'e using are much wider right?

Thanks for your positive feedback!

FAIL BACKGROUND FIX (i think)
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/uuz6vaa75emqsrg/AAAzOImrUR4bqQiU_gQf2VLva?dl=0

Answers to your questions here!
Main points:
Selection Mods
Fail BG
Bigger Hitcircle
Smaller Particles

Selection Mods:
Sorry, this skin was very rushed. And plus, my photoshop is CS4, soo... it's old...
it could be because of the conversion from PSD to PNG. There's a fix. You might see a white outline around items sometimes.
I do plan to upgrade them but I ran out of time

If you see any weird fade transitions please report the file

Fail BG:
Remember that this skin was made to work on 16:10 ratio. as said earlier, a screenshot would be helpful. I also found this weird ahis i expected the pause and fail bg to be the same, but when i made it, i had to shift the text and the line a bit to make it the same..

Bigger Hitcircle:
I have experimented with a normal-sized hit circle, it looks weird in my opinion, but i'll make a variation so people who aren't so comfortable with the new concepts could enjoy too.

Smaller Particles:
Smaller Particles grab your eyes more than bigger particles. I plan to make some variations like off and soft
the aim of the particles was to make a foggy feel so it would be like flying through clouds sorta thing...

New Concepts (to avoid any misunderstandings, and to understand why they are designed like it)
The spot-type approach circle helps you see the next circle better. also neater. no labyrinths of rings.

'Animated' followpoint lets you follow the right line

Slightly smaller hit circle makes it look better in slider (in my opinion, comparing to my other prototypes)

Slightly clear hit circle also lets you see stacked notes better, (altho i do have a problem with stacked approach circles... tried as much as I could to stop over-saturation. Currently it actually has a barley noticeable gradient and isn't solid...

So there, most of your FAQs that you didn't post yet answered. just wanted to clarify

Also the options folder is coming out asap.

I wish the anchor points were different though. If it was, i would've done something awesome... But there it is...


It's now integrated with the skin.
Haruto

you can see it right?
it only covers on the centre of the screen. not the whole screen
also, so that's why the hit circle is kinda hard to read because the hitcircleoverlay is a blank one =w=
Topic Starter
-yuo-
Try this:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/uuz6vaa75emqsrg/AAAzOImrUR4bqQiU_gQf2VLva?dl=0
The images for this is included in the options folder.

The background should work but the text in the background, I dunno... it could be misaligned.

What do you mean by 'hard to read?'

Having trouble seeing the circle or numbers not contrast enough??

nope it is just because your current hitcircleoverlay is a blank one(like it didn't use a hitcircleoverlay) so that's why i cant read a circle properly on the game
Topic Starter
-yuo-
okay then.

the options folder is now in construction.

I did some hit circle variations:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/zpkr7th066me4ei/AAB-C7ckhkHjJztAvK4zd_lVa?dl=0

'BLACK'


'WHITE'

This skin looks so wicked. But with a lot of notes near one and another and the cursor being all white, I occasionally lose track of where the cursor is =/

Thanks for your comment!

i'll try working on a cursor variation ;)

A new cursor has been made here:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/zpkr7th066me4ei/AAB-C7ckhkHjJztAvK4zd_lVa?dl=0

The images for this are included in the options folder.

Okay, so your mania skin is a minimalist type...

1. Make the notes and keys more saturated. It helps mania players to read certain notes.
2. Rework your unranked sprite. Doesn't fit with your mania skin
3. Mania hitscore, instead of soft lighting, I prefer to use hitscore. To fit in better, reduce the size of the combo fonts. All of that should do the trick.

Else, Dim your ranking screen. I couldn't see my score on several occasions.
Topic Starter
-yuo-
Yeh, thanks for the advice!

that sounds good to put into the options folder. I'm not sure with the unranked tho... i'll experiment.

Again, thanks for the advice! It is a beta, and your advice was really helpful.

btw what do you mean 'more saturated' and 'It helps mania players to read certain notes.'
It would be helpful if i knew why you find it hard to read...
e.g.
•cant see the notes
•don't know which key presses a note
etc...

THANKS!
O2MasterFX
Some players requires to know which notes hit which keys. It's to make them easier to play. High-tier players read these notes by columns. Increase the colors on each columns and add subtle color on keys helps them (because your theme is minimalist, then I suggest the key colors are subtle but still recognizable to match them with the notes).

Don't collage your previews. It's ugly.
Quite hard to see what your skin can offer with that collage.
Topic Starter
-yuo-
Ok, thanks for your suggestion, and yeh...

The whole point of this skin is to introduce new mechanics, and i have an idea...
Needs a test though. And i'll be using your idea anyway.

Thanks!!! really helpful
