Actually, the OP has a simpler solution to that. Old skins would work because things in the root folder would be loaded as usual. Things in the subfolders would override. You could move things if you wanted to, but there would be no need to.
Idea is not bad, but there is few things.RBRat3 wrote:
I like the idea of using different skins for modes but im more interested in just binding a skin to a mode in options rather than modifying the file/folder structure. Possibly easier and faster to implement in the short run and it gets you to the same place.
Hmm... this looks interesting and it might work pretty well. (with this we could also have a preview for other game modes)RBRat3 wrote:
1. Simple bind the UI to a skin also or just use standards. Can all be handled in the skin select screen using mode switches kinda like this http://puu.sh/2ZxB5.jpg with a toggle somewhere to enable/disable skin binding.
Ah, I see. Forgot that it could work in same way as beatmap skin. Silly me. ^^;RBRat3 wrote:
2. You're not loading 4 skins at once. This functions similarly to what beatmaps already do when they include skinned elements only difference being is that you bind a specific mode default skin to it rather than a global one.
Hmmm... If I think about this a little, it isn't that bad as it looks. My bad.RBRat3 wrote:
3. Putting things in subdirectories doesn't necessarily make things easier there will always be the "wtf is this again?", also there is already a best effort to prefix elements. Skinning has never been a pain to me because I use search functions and large thumbnails with a preview panel, I get by just fine...
Id rather have the stuff in folders than prefixed, this way its less work for the skinner naming all the stuff and more organized when you go into the skins folder.baraatje123 wrote:
