This feature request aims to solve a problem I ran into while helping m980 with JJF: I needed to use different hitnoises for different difficulties of the map. I also see significant potential for use in maps such as Grunty Industries, where each difficulty has a different theme. Also maps with themes like day/night or four seasons could benefit.

What I have in mind is a reference in each .osu to the name of a subfolder where osu! should look to find skin elements instead of always using the root of the beatmap folder. Skin elements would include graphical elements and hitnoises.

This map has been deleted on the request of its creator. It is no longer available.

It can be done with visual elements too, look the FAQs!

As for the samplesets, this can already be done.

normal-hitwhistle.wav <this kind of setup replaces your regular sounds
normal-hitwhistle1.wav <Custom soundset 1
normal-hitwhistle2.wav <Custom soundset 2?

MM201 basically uses every single available sound when he can. So he'd use every custom soundset within a single difficulty :p

m980 approves of this idea

@An64fan
What LH said. MM201 already uses all those samplesets in authentic hitsounds

@Olinad
Difficulty specific visual elements?

There is only 1 toggle in the Advanced Section so far.

Diff. Specific
Short for Difficulty Specific. This makes all the objects you put in while this is toggled save to the osu file instead of the basic .osb file. This makes the storyboard you make while this is toggled available for only this difficulty.

I told you to read the FAQs! è.é XD

That's for storyboards not skins

I thought once about combo-specific skinning... (I would pretty much use it in my newest map)
But hell, maybe that's just too much.

As for the topic, I can't see why it shouldn't be added.

ah,
i want to request about different skin on different difficulties.
is that possible?

example : i put hitcircle.png on subfolders easy, and put different hitcircle.png on other subfolders difficulties.

This is exactly what this request is about.
