So basically my questions are:
  1. In the mania-specific ini files (4k.ini, 7k.ini, etc), is there a way to specify a horizontal offset for the "ScorePosition"? Everything i've tried has failed to parse, so I assume it's not implemented.
  2. Is there a way to disable hitscore animations in a skin.ini type of file? Just some way to stop it from being transformed/rotated after creation like it's doing in the video.
And if neither of those features are implemented, would the proper procedure be to make a new thread for it in the "Feature Requests" subforum?
1. Unfortunately not, you can only specify global vertical placement
2. Again unfortunately not.

Mania skinning is incredibly severely limited.

Feature request would be where you'd ask, although I believe there's a general thread for all the things that need to be in mania skinning in there already, though I forget what it's named.

I tried to use the sprite taiko-barline.png file but it doesn't work. I think this skin part was ignored all the time.

Ok, I just wrote a post but someone said me to come there xD
So, this was the post:
Hi all! First, I'm sorry if I've a bad english, I'm italian and that's not my first language... I don't use translator cause I know it fails a lot <.<
However, I've a questions about the kiai time.
I'm doing a dubstep beatmap, I'm new in this.
You know there's the drop, and I wanted to add kiai time for that... But when I use it, there's only once the fountain and no flashing colours.
I saw dubstep beatmaps and there were a lot of flashing colours, just try "Fire Hive - Knife Party" and see by yourself.
I want to know how can I add flashing colours or any animation at the kiai time.
I tried also to put a video but it doesn't work, and in the other beatmaps, there's only an image...
By the way, I already searched on the forum but I didn't find anything, maybe I'm blind or maybe I'm just a n00b beatmapper ?-?
And I searched on Google too. Nothing.
Can you help me?

This isn't really a skinning inquiry, the beatmap in question uses storyboard effects and lots of kiai on/offs to pull off its look, and If videos don't show for you globally you might want to check your options to see if you disabled them.

My advice would be to open that map up in the editor and study how the storyboard is used then experiment in your own map.

I tried, but I only found kiai time activated, nothing about flashing colours T.T

Hey guys, i really appreciate the guys working on this thread and i hope someone could help me here.

So the problem is the long notes on osu! mania, and i'm having a hard time fixing it. The long notes starts on the left side of the column and kind of flickers while being pressed. Its probably something about the animation, since the long notes have 5 files. So i hope someone could help me out here about animations or something to fix this minor skinning problem.
Pink notes seems to be working fine. This occurs on the yellow notes sometimes but always occurs on the silver ones.

Im using the New Default Template skin, so maybe theres something wrong with my pc? i have no idea.
[Edit: Im currently trying to search the forums for this problem.]

If you mean that middle part of silver slider is on the left side, it's a template problem. Working on fix. ^^;

Edit: First! :P

That's super weird, I've never seen anything like that happen before. Are there any mania .pngs in your skin folder? If so could you list which ones and their resolutions?

Oh, the new template fixed it.. so yeah.. i guess that was pretty trivial.

I appreciate the replies guys. I'll be back for some more questions in the future.
And one one question, is it okay if i ask a previously answered question in this thread?

Yes. It's okay.

Forcing people to search entire thread for already answered question would be just mean.

about the countdown:
- 3 goes to the upper-left corner but not the left side,
- 2 goes to the upper-right corner but not the right side,
- 1 goes right to the center.

Use the new default skin (with small countdown numbers) and a map with countdown to test.

What would you suggest to make png sequences? Flash sucks, and Photoshop can't animate scaling.

But aside from this awesome GET, I have a legit question; Is there a way to edit the Osu Start button in the title screen? I have this Hakurei Reimu skin, and I would be awesome imo to make a YingYang Osu button in the title.

Made a example;

zzz again, all the "test build only" skinnables are oversights, so it doesn't matter if you can do it there anyway.

Guys, is there a more in-depth thread/faq about the ranking panel skinning?
i just can't seem to align those things properly.

If you're using the ranking panel template from the old skin, you have to disable New animations
If you're using the new template, turn on it on.

There's a checkbox in the skins tab in options

skinning test bulid elements (except for menu-background) should be avoided because those aren't in the skinning standards.

Okay!
Since a lot of people already wrote this, I think I should do this too.

"Please, avoid skinning test build eleme..." Nope.

Come on guys. Once should be more than enough. You don't need to repeat it over and over. His question was answered, I sent him PM with explanation to avoid spreading it...

Hi, recently I found a hitsound I particularly enjoy, and I wanted to hear it on every click, so I introduced it in my skin folder (not skins) as normal-hitclap.wav, normal-hitnormal.wav, soft-hitclap.wav, soft-hitnormal.wav, but sometimes I can hear it sometimes I can't, probably I don't know what name the sound should have, can anyone help me?

normal-hitclap
normal-hitclap2
normal-hitfinish
normal-hitfinish2
normal-hitnormal
normal-hitwhistle
normal-sliderslide
normal-sliderslide2
normal-slidertick
normal-sliderwhistle

and it should work

Thanks, worked perfectly

Edit: I'm not sure if there is the sound when there are multiple circles really close to eachother
Edit #2: I also pasted the hitsound as soft-<name> like all you suggestions, and now it works
Edit #3: Now I get the sound also while sliding, tomorrow I'll work on finding out which soft-<thing> is doing that
Edit #4: I'm getting this hitsound spam while I slide and I cannot fix it, the problem isn't from soft-something.wav though
Edit #5: Alright, it was normal-sliderslide.wav, and normal-sldiertick.wav
Edit #6:
Good sounds:
normal-hitclap
normal-hitclap2
normal-hitfinish
normal-hitfinish2
normal-hitnormal
normal-hitwhistle
normal-sliderslide2
normal-sliderwhistle
soft-hitclap
soft-hitclap2
soft-hitfinish
soft-hitfinish2
soft-hitsoft
soft-hitwhistle

Bad sounds:
normal-sliderslide
normal-slidertick
soft-sliderslide
soft-sliderslide2
soft-slidertick
