I'm currently making an original skin. I can do graphics all fine and don't need them from other skins. If I take hit sounds from another skin is that considered a mix skin? Would I have to make or find them myself?

Using others sounds is fine, but it would be nice to give credit if you know the source.

Quick question, can I have multiple applause sounds in a skin? In the same way you can have multiple comboburst.wav with comboburst-(n).wav, can I have applause-(n).wav?

Thats not possible
Nearling
Well, then how do you change the color of this outline? And something else, how to remove the number on the circle
RockRoller
Theres a command in the skin.ini its under [Colours] and it is named SliderBorder.

You just want to remove the numbers or you want to replace them?
Nearling
To remove absolutely, only now has paid attention, that they are useless)

Go in your skin.ini and go to [Fonts]. Type:
HitCirclePrefix: useless

Reload your skin and the numbers should be gone

How can I remove lighting effects when star2 is happening in-game?

Is it linked with star2?

Because I use pale color so the lighting LITERALLY kill my eyes.

I cant support it with the new color I use the star2 is fine but that god damn lighting.

Also I already disabled the "hit lighting" thing im talking about the effect of lighting do I have to make en empty file called lighting?

Hello, this might be a little more advanced than the things mentioned above, but I have seen a skin that makes the osu!mania stage move to the center of the screen instead of staying slightly towards the left, so I tried it for myself but can't seem to make it work.

Any ideas of how to actually do that?

CTRL+O -> Skin -> Export as .osk

Mixed skins are not allowed on the forum. You can post it on /r/osuskins or on your userpage if you have one

It does work.

Often made mistakes in the skin.ini-file are:
  1. lowercases where they should not be: (e.g.: version instead of Version.
  2. incorrect spelling (e.g.: Colors instead of Colours)
  3. having spaces before or after the line
  4. using a variable that is not supported
  5. not putting a line under their correct header (e.g.: ComboPrefix: must be put under the [Fonts] section)
  6. forgetting to put the headers into brackets (these -> ["Header"] )
  7. the file is not an .ini-file (skin.ini.txt instead of skin.ini)

In short: the skin.ini-file is very case sensitive and uses UK english for most parts.

While it is true this tutorial should have been updated long ago, it's not the main topic and with lazer in development writing a new one is pointless since most of today's elements might no longer work like they do now in the lazer client.

Spinerr-spin - Text that simply tells you to spin through spinner.


Correct spelling:spinner-spin

What is the name of the stars that come out of the sides when the song is going through a critical moment in the ctb? And the lights that come out when you dunk the fruit in the bar?
RockRoller
star2 is the stars
Not totally sure on the lights, but I dont think they are skinnable

hi, i know that this may be a stupid question, but i can't seem to find a solution anywhere.

i'm creating a skin by making small changes to the Seouless used by shigetora on twitch and when trying to change the background of the spinner i cannot manage to fit the backgroung, which has an outer glow, with the spinner meter, that contains the image i want to show when spinning.

https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/11534383 <-- this is what i'm talking about

then i noticed that the images used in the original use different resolutions and the spinner metre is always cut by few pixel.

https://i.imgur.com/6Bqoyh7.png spinner bg

i'm new to skinning but i hope you can help

Dont put it in your skin folder. You need to open it with osu

How does one get the difficulty stars to work more as a bar instead of getting smaller? I find the scaled version very difficult to read, but when I change the version of the skin, nothing changes about the difficulty stars.

The version of skin.ini must be 2.1 or lower.
