osu!mania Stage Centering Guide!~
Below is the method to acquire the ColumnStart values to center the osu!mania stage. This method works for all skins and for all screen resolutions, be it windowed or full screen.
1. We'll use this equation: columnStart = ((480 / (screenHeight / screenWidth)) / 2) - (columnSum / 2)
2. In order to get the value of columnStart, you need to know the values of each variable (remember that these values may vary depending on the key you're currently calculating). Let's have an example for this guide. Let's say I use a custom windowed resolution of 1200px by 700px. Below are the column sizes of the stages inside my nK.ini files.
columnStart = ((480 / (700 / 1200)) / 2) - (184 / 2)
columnStart = ((480 / 0.58333) / 2) - (92)
columnStart = (822.86 / 2) - 92
columnStart = (411.43) - 92
columnStart = 319.43
columnStart ≅ 319
since we can't use decimals for the columnStart value, we have to round it off to the nearest integer.
Now that we know columnStart, we can go ahead and write the value inside 4K.ini.
4. Repeat the process for all the other keys. If you try to solve for the other values using the same situation, you should get the following values:
Note: Due to the rounding off of values, the stage may be a bit off by 1 pixel to the left or right. If you followed the instructions above correctly, I assure you that the stage will never be off by 2 or more pixels from the center.
1. We'll use this equation: columnStart = ((480 / (screenHeight / screenWidth)) / 2) - (columnSum / 2)
- columnStart - value that we will put on each nK.ini file.
- screenHeight - height of your screen in pixels (or height of the osu! window if you play windowed)
- screenWidth - width of your screen in pixels (or width of the osu! window if you play windowed)
- columnSum - sum of all the values on the ColumnWidth field.
2. In order to get the value of columnStart, you need to know the values of each variable (remember that these values may vary depending on the key you're currently calculating). Let's have an example for this guide. Let's say I use a custom windowed resolution of 1200px by 700px. Below are the column sizes of the stages inside my nK.ini files.
- 4K: ColumnWidth: 46, 46, 46, 46
- 5K: ColumnWidth: 46, 46, 50, 46, 46
- 6K: ColumnWidth: 42, 42, 42, 42, 42, 42
- 7K: ColumnWidth: 40, 40, 40, 40, 40, 40, 40
- 8K: ColumnWidth: 38, 38, 38, 38, 38, 38, 38, 38
- screenHeight: 700
- screenWidth: 1200
- columnSum: 46 + 46 + 46 + 46 = 184
columnStart = ((480 / (700 / 1200)) / 2) - (184 / 2)
columnStart = ((480 / 0.58333) / 2) - (92)
columnStart = (822.86 / 2) - 92
columnStart = (411.43) - 92
columnStart = 319.43
columnStart ≅ 319
since we can't use decimals for the columnStart value, we have to round it off to the nearest integer.
Now that we know columnStart, we can go ahead and write the value inside 4K.ini.
4. Repeat the process for all the other keys. If you try to solve for the other values using the same situation, you should get the following values:
- 5K: 294
- 6K: 285
- 7K: 271
- 8K: 259
Note: Due to the rounding off of values, the stage may be a bit off by 1 pixel to the left or right. If you followed the instructions above correctly, I assure you that the stage will never be off by 2 or more pixels from the center.
