So, time to make explanation of osu!mania skinning.
Let’s start with skin parts.
Every mania skin should contains 5 .ini files ! 4k, 5k, 6k, 7k and 8k. As you can guess these are general options for mania-key mods.
Let’s start explaining them!
For more recent osu!mania template we need to wait, because things are constantly added/changed etc.
Edit: Updated skin template.
Let’s start with skin parts.
- LightingN – Lighting that appear when you hit a note on judgment bar (named that correctly?). Can be animated, through it’s pretty fast animation.
- LightingL - Same as above but it’s for “slider” notes.
- mania-hit0, 50, 100, 200, 300, 300g – Hitbursts for osu!mania. You can animate them, but remember these are really fast, so you need to be cleaver to make them visible. Animation isn’t looped, that means it is long as many sprites you did.
- mania-key1 /2/S – Skin for buttons. Be careful with using patterns on it. Because later in .ini files you might set length of buttons that can make patterns stretched. Special button is used in 7k/8k game mod.
- mania-key1D/2D/SD – Skin for buttons while pressed. Same as above.
- mania-note1/2/S – Skin for mania notes.
- mania-note1H/2H/SH – Skin for end parts of “slider”.
- mania-note1L/2L/SL – Skin for middle part of “slider”. This one can be animated.
- mania-stage-hint – known as judgment bar. Place where you need to hit note correctly. If you have problems with correct position of it use judgment line that you can set in .ini files.
- mania-stage-left/right – A left/right part of mania playfield. They aren’t restricted by size, so you can make neat sides by adding something more than border. If you will use it just for border, do a smaller part - rest will be repeated from upper part of screen to bottom.
But if you are going to something larger, set height at 768px and width of your preference. - mania-stage-light – special light that appears on column stage when you hit a button. Game will always try to fit it into column width, making them wide will force game to resize it to size of column.
Better make higher than wider. - selection-mod-key4/5/6/7/8 – mod icons for mania key mods.
- special-mania - osu!mania icon in special mode select.
Every mania skin should contains 5 .ini files ! 4k, 5k, 6k, 7k and 8k. As you can guess these are general options for mania-key mods.
Let’s start explaining them!
- ColumnWidth:50,25,30,25,30,25,30,25 – the widths of tracks. All numbers are separated by comma.
Sizes goes from left to right. So if you changed special button position in 8k, you need to change it here too.
WARNING! Use only 4 sizes for 4k, 5 for 5k, 6 for 6k, 7 for 7k, 8 for 8k. No more,no less than amount of tracks otherwise you will crash osu! when starting a map! - SpecialPositionLeft:0/1 – Special position button for 8k. If turned off (set to 0) button will appear on right side of stage.
- ColumnStart: 230 – Position of osu!mania stage. You can set from 0 to 460. 0 - left side, 230 - center of screen, 460 - right side.
- ColumnLine: 1,0,0,0,0,0,1,1 – Set a white line between tracks. 0 – off, 1- on. Amount should be same as amount of tracks otherwise it won’t work.
- JudgementLine:0/1 – Show judgment line. It’s line where you need to hit notes.
- Colour1: 80,0,0,200 – Set colour of track. Numbers are in format RGB A (red, green, blue,alpha – transparency ). You should set colours amount same as amount of tracks (Up to 8 for 8k).
For more recent osu!mania template we need to wait, because things are constantly added/changed etc.
Edit: Updated skin template.
o-o....
Okay, officially: My mind is blown.
Personally, ever since I've joined osu(which isn't that long ago surprisingly) I've always wanted to make an interesting beatmap. I literally have stalked the internet trying to find something that could help... and now that I have, I literally cannot think straight
I read at the very beginning that you need some sort of photoshop experience(Etc.) and in which I have none....
I am willing to spend hours reading manuals but what is the point if even at the end I do not understand...?
I have read the entire osu!Wiki which was of little help...
eAe... I feel like I need a tutor. Anyways... o-o.... Can I atleast have a little help since I am making my first beatmap?

Are you sure you're in the right thread? If you don't have any artistic skill, you're not going to be able to make a skin. And if you're talking about making an actual beatmap, please don't hijack other threads.--Greed-- wrote:

Thanks for this info,it really helped^^
There's actually a small error in your *.ini explanations, MLGnom:
Looks like this (8 columns in 7K mode, notice how the barline does not reach across the eighth row):
And a few missing functions of the *.ini:
ColourColumnLine: [color code with four variables, the last one being alpha] - Colour of the ColumnLines
Barline: 0/1 - Toggles the Barline on (1) and off (0)
ColourHold: [color code with four variables, the last one being alpha] - The colour used to tint the combo number when holding long notes (orange by default)
Tried ColourBarline, but it does nothing =(
While this is correct on its own, you CAN add additional columns. Just remember that you need to add numbers to ColumnLine as well. The game only crashes if ColumnLine doesn't have exactly one more number than ColumnWidth.MLGnom wrote:

First I'm correct about crashing game.
That what you showed is 7k+1(???) that was added today.
Game is still crashing when you do this for 8k and probably other .ini's. Or add more than that.
There was a lot of things changed/added in past 2 days (today including). I don't have time to do instant check/update tutorial and don't want to do this. Things might change tomorrow and that will require more changes in tutorial. Just wait until mania gets into pretty "finished" stage.
Will update it later, when more things will come.

Ah, I see. But... aren't they useless? I mean notes do fall on those additional tracks?
No, they have no function but they are useful if you want to have the same 8 columns for every number of keys, so you don't mess up with the buttons all the time (left-to-right layout)

Mhm. I understand. Thank you for testing that.
Like I said, will make update later when more things will come. :3

I am merely implying I have no skill or understanding in how to create interesting skins that I could use in my beatmaps.
The simplest way is to just jump in. Take a skin like the template one, and try replacing the images and sounds. Try changing things in skin.ini and see what happens (lines beginning with // are comments, they'll be ignored by osu). Look at other skins and maps with skins you like and look in their directories to see how they did things.
thx for the help 
, MLGnomOk, something's gone wrong here:
Only my "default-0" is used in the combo number up top. The rest seems to be from the default skin!

Errr... Screenshot is not enough to tell what it's wrong, maybe post your skin here so I can test it. All I can tell now is that you could mess up with files names.
it's font combo related.
put in nK.ini and add FontCombo:score (as default the 'score'-value is read)
also it still buggy for me... as the current score-0 is not the fontcombo based but scoreprefix based. (in my skin bug thread)

I read the FAQ but couldn't find the info I wanted. For OsuMania, is it possible to make the first four keys (left to right; not symmetrical) black, the next four keys white, and the last key black?

Just find it inside of skin and copy it to your own. D:Lou-kun wrote:

each osu!Skin has its own skin.ini and can be found on the osu!Skin's folder.Lou-kun wrote:
Hey, where do I find the "skin.ini" thing?
e.g. C:/Program Files/Osu!/Skins/amigo/skin.ini (location varies on where you installed osu!)

- 1. refer to the default's skin.ini and tweak it.
- 2. copy other's skin.ini and edit to your own preference
and the last... (this might be difficult)
- 3. try freelance and start from nothing and save as "skin.ini" (just refer from the 1st post under a spoilerbox named Skin.ini for the codes)
really useful guide
