Hey, working on making my first skin (for personal use).

I've run into a problem in that it seems playfield.png (and playfield@2x.png) are not being used for the ranking screen background as the tutorial says it should. I have other skins i've downloaded that this works on, so my question is why is my skin not working?

Can someone please tell me what they changed in osu that made my skin break? It worked a year ago and iv'e tried recovering it but I can't seem to pinpoint a problem.

Here is the file: http://www.mediafire.com/download/uv48j ... Custom.zip

I tried splicing it with other skins, and only moving sounds over or hitcircles over (to the default skin, other skins that work, etc.) but it all fails to import.

Okay, so, uhm, hello and welcome errbody. I will move my post to the basics.

Im poop with gimp etc, i never did It, and my english is to low to read 233 pages of posts... I don't really have a time to read all this things and edit a skin, so basicly I need someone who can spent few minutes for me on editing a skin, tbh I wanna edit just 1 or 2 things, I know, You gonna be like "read topic, use brain, use google" or just "get lost nobody will do this for you coz u are not worthy" or stuff...

Basicly, I need lil' changes and I'll be glad if someone contact me via skype. on skype im called "roycewicz", (acc name), look for a account named "Kanade Tachibana" from Poland, Whatever. Please :(

Could someone help me out? I can't quite figure this out.

I basically want to edit a skin for mania. What i would like to have is a little small bar in the middle of the playfield but i don't really know what i need to edit for that.
I can't find any fitting files.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hello ^-^

Want to know if you know how (if it's possible ) to change the ripple effect color, or make it multicolor, or just change it (like star ripples ? :) )

SPOILER
The thing around my cursor when i click

Thank for reading (and helping, if you know/can :) )

I can't seem to find any information on this anywhere, but..
is there any way to disable the behavior in newer versions in which a slider end doesn't fade in until the slider is nearly done snaking, and the slider head disappears once you click to begin the slider? I find the sliders being like this to look butt-ugly and distracting, and have been sticking to fallback to avoid it, but if there's any way to change it in the newer versions back to the old behavior I'd like to know ><;

You can't. Live with it. Games can change and alter mechanics permanently to increase the experience you get from them.
This change was made to finally solve the problem that both circles on the slider exploded at the same time instead of individually when the slidercircles became skinnable. When people were using the overlay-0 method the slider always was blank since the overlay would disappear immediately and the skinnable slidercircles got rid of that method. People wanted to preserve that so the sliderstart explodes individually to have the slider clean when using a blank sliderendcircle.

How exactly can I change which combo sprites are used for different keys in mania?

I only found FontCombo: [name] , but putting that @ [Fonts] in the skin.ini will use those sprites for each mode, and putting it below, say "Keys: 4" will do nothing at all.

Am I missing something?

It's "ComboPrefix:" and is for all key counts and game modes.
You can't do it for single key counts.

That's a shame. At least different combo sprites for different gamemodes would have been nice.

Thanks for the quick reply.

iirc the red tint of warning arrow is due to using Version: 2 and above
if you want it to be as the .png you should use Version: 1

The most useful for osu!mania skins is that the notes will on the center of the screen and the notes more big than the original. That's my opinion.

This is "pause-loop.mp3" for the pause and fail screen. The file NEEDS to be an .mp3. "failsound.wav" will overlap with "pause-loop.mp3" if the former is still playing on the fail screen.

Hey. If i do my own skin, why I heed to create not HD and 2x pixels images?
Can I keep only @2x version?
Ex.:

Technically you can keep only the @2x file...
But the HD or @2x skin elements will only show if your osu! resolution has a resolution of 1280x720 or higher... Beside that, the skin element used are the default one if there's no "non-HD" skin element in the folder.

The only thing that can be changed on the main menu is the background. You need to be supporter in order to use a custom background. So, in your situation, this isn't possible... Sorry! :|

your skin must have another applause.wav, delete it

Put a blank/no-sound applause.wav (Usually with 44 bytes or the 0 bytes file size one), deleting it only won't disable the sound but instead using the default applause.wav one.

I know this sounds really stupid (bear with me I haven't done anything skin-related for a long time)
But basically for shit and giggles I decided to throw my Pendual Taiko skin into Garin's Pendual skin as a personal skin,
then I noticed that the inner and outer graphics don't work properly.

Turns out my Taiko skin uses version 2.0,while 2.1 introduced new alignment rules for Taiko

Problem is I'm not sure how to shift my existing inner+outer graphics to fit the new rules,
especially when they aren't exactly based on the default taiko skin.

So,er,is there a painless way to convert 2.0 Taiko graphics to 2.1?

Taiko drums can now be skinned on a 90x200 canvas, so I suggest you shift the middle axis of your taiko-bar-left at 90,0 of a 180x200 canvas and position the drums to fit them in there.

Hopefully I don't have to end up rebuilding everything, but thanks!
