Still not sure what is the problem here... You removed bg? But which? BG from map? And after , that badly cropped, anime girl showed up there?

Actually it's new skin part that i just have found. But nvm, just a small change for my personal favourite.

H_Hitachiin wrote: 613770

And which part is that?

random guess...

that must be the playfield.png
(that might be correct or not)

Nope, of course. I hate put playfield with any kind of picture xD
Look at those picture... :p

the arrow there, and the leaderboard BG (as i guess right ) is the skinnable part based from the SSs(screenshots) there

I read the FAQ but couldn't find the info I wanted. For OsuMania, is it possible to make the first four keys (left to right; not symmetrical) black, the next four keys white, and the last key black?

Is there still no way to do this?

Nothing on this still?

LoL. I forgot this topic xD
You can try to add "clicktostart.png" and "dragtobrowse.png"

You should get something like this


Btw: the image clicktostart should be the same size with reserve arrow.
I don't have any idea about the image dragtobrowse size, very hard to tell exactly xD

an element used to notify the where to press play

dragtobrowse.png
that f*cking bg behind the leaderboard

(EDIT: these elements might be considered dead... because of some issues like distractions, "beauty is destroyed" things and more to follow)

yep.
i guess there's still one more that Yuki-kun had changed,

osu! history page is your friend guys.
"clicktostart.png" Is most likely that button to start in very early version of osu!. It's useless now.

I'm pretty sure someone decompiled osu! files to find info about that... but I'm surprised that it's till there and working. o.O

Will try to find out what "dragtobrowse.png" is for or was for.

as expected... dragtobrowse.png appears behind the leaderboard...

dragtobrowse is an instruction to drag something around there (but not touch the leaderboard), and browse the song selection up and down (regarding direction of your drag)
is it means : need the original pic of dragtobrowse ?

Not sure, but in my osu, it's still active...
Check my screenshot .


There are 2 images i'm using.


You can check at resolution 1024x768.

where's the large transparent osu icon there? lol

It's should be appeared beside the osu icon in song selection xD

even though they exist... they're still dead elements... because in the modern side of osu! (probably ~2010-2012), these elements are now beauty spoilers.

no, i didn't do anything to dragtobrowse till i touch image editor again to "move the temporary try of dragtobrowse" into dragtobrowse.
well, it was different from dragtobrowse, (also, the other hint/note : smaller version can't be changed)
(dragtobrowse is centreright aligned then)

hint: it was my try to change the skin behind there before dragtobrowse.png is the true answer instead.

Yeah, noticed that too.
Well we shouldn't care much about these. If someone want to do something with them, go ahead, but they are dead elements that shouldn't be there.
If they aren't affected by aspect ratio they are from times before "widescreen" update.

If you say so... xD

I'm pretty sure it's that bar. I think it can be funny to edit that. ^^;

Both of them is not my way.
I don't have enough programming skill to decompile a big project like osu!
I've tried to read Osu!.dll using Visual Studio 2012. But it's nothing more than a...binary file and i don't understand anything in that ... xD
Btw: I forgot the sound match-ready in multi mode. You can add it, but after that you must restart osu to take effect. I don't understand why...since the image part we only need to reload skin in option... xD

With VS2012 (and every other VS-Release), you only can watch the hexadecimal "code" of the dll, not actually anything that's inside.

Yes, and that's why i must find another way to see skin part. But not all. xD
Actually, i knew exactly how much parts that osu contains, but i can't read them all or see how those thing designed.
All i see is only a hex code and binary.

your main BG is dimmed around 25~30%

this new UI tactic from peppy completley destroys my affords from my skin X.x

let's see if Special Mode or osu!direct BG too is changed its layout later time,

1. option-background ; announced by peppy that using menu-background
2. lobby-background ; not announced but same behaviour like current Pption BG
3. let's see what's gonna happen later

Let's just hope we won't see one, same BG everywhere. :/

in .ini file, where do we have to write .ini part of osu!mania? in [General]?

For osu!mania settings you must have separate files - 4k.ini, 5k.ini, 6k.ini 7k.ini and 8k.ini

he's right ( ._.)

Just to inform you guys, you can now skin backgrounds for widescreen resolutions, yes I mean pause, fail etc. (The safest should be 1366x768 resolution). But be careful with it, and always check how it will look in 4:3. Or as alternative if you are going to post your skin at forum, make 2 versions of it.

Like I said before, in nearest days I will start testing everything from beginning and will provide any new informations. ^.^

ranking screen too s widescreen, but every elements there aren't widescreen (just the 5 circles that spinning slowly around grade element that affected by widescreen)

Either I'm just not guessing the right dimensions, or ranking- no longer covers the entire screen.

That works! I wonder if we could be able to make playfields widescreen...

Garygoh884 wrote: 1f51y

Yes, now we are able to put widescreen background. (probably in beatmaps too). If you use 1024x768 playfield, it will be resized to fit any widescreen resolution.
BUT if you use widescreen playfield, osu! will add black bars on upper and bottom part of screen. It depends with one resolution you are using so the bars will be larger or smaller. As I said before again the safest should be 1366x768 to have it working on every aspec ratio.

Is there a way to add characters to the side of the screen when you get enough no-misses? Or did i overlook something?

EDIT- Nevermind,I found out how ^^;

They are called combobursts and first appear when you have 30 combo.

Great. I never knew hitcircle overlay could be animated.

Is it just me or does a 1366x768 matchsetup-background.png not fit properly?

Because that background it's still in progress. The official background is only in 1024x768 and you wouldn't be able to have it on widescreen. The main problem with it, is that the numbers and texts like "Game type" "Mods" "Beatmaps" are part of background.

options and lobby has been removed. Instead of them you can see your menu-background if you are er.

For matchsetup-background check if you haven't made any mistake, since it's working just fine for me.

why options- and lobby-background has been removed?

Ask peppy, not me. ^^;

and there's one more thing
after the last update the lobby-bg still work but then i changed it and only then i doesnt work anymore

It could be minor error, it doesn't work for me.
Like I said "menu-background.jpg" is used also as lobby-background now. Don't know if it will be or it is actually possible to change it to use other bg than menu. Maybe it is er future? I don't know, don't have er so it's impossible for me to test it. ^^;

er doesn't have lobby-bg either.

I WANT A FULLSCREEN RANKING BACKGROUND ლ(ಠ益ಠლ)

playfield is ranking screen background.
ranking- covers the 5 circles that rotating around grade-A ~ grade-D

Huh? How it's not open as zip file?
Tested right now and it's working just fine.

All you should do is and double click on it... (as long as it's associated with osu!)

seems like you already have a "templateskin" folder. Sometimes when I re-extract skins thru osk, the new folder goes inside the folder, so you have a Skins\templateskin\templateskin directory

sorry, it has to be my shitty internet, but i swear i ed it 3 times and it was always corrupted. tried now again, and it's fine.

skin extraction process same as beatmap extraction.

[New Skin Folder] is based from [.osk Name]
so if you put something like in this tree (sample: http://puu.sh/1JNDh)

Inside thCtC[RF49].osk
+ thCtC[RF49]
|-- applause.wav
|-- button-left.png
|-- etc...

instead (sample: http://puu.sh/1JNDx)

Inside thCtC[RF49].osk
applause.wav
play-unranked.png
etc...

it will give

|--+ thCtC[RF49]
|--|-- applause.wav
|--|-- button-left.png
|--|-- etc...

instead

+ thCtC[RF49] <-- .osk name

oh. I get it. I never actually got the chance to see what's inside an osk since it gets deleted. ^_^

Okay guys I need to get some information and hope someone can help me.

What I need :
1. What kind of skins Taiko players consider as "Pro" skin (Something like this exists?)? I think most of them uses official version of skin but still... (There is not many skins that have skinned this mod :/)
2. Same question but for CtB. How people should skin fruits to help player?
3. And for osu!mania... I don't really know what kind of skins people needs/prefer. I will be grateful for any info about osu!mania skins and what kind of skin people prefer.

For mania i think there arent too much helpfull things. Notes is probably the most important. They have a great effect when playing or the stagelight. You can have that big or invisible or just hardly noticeable, it all makes a difference what a player prefers. Column width is also a good thing to edit in the skin if a player has less less trouble with reading wide or super wide skin. The lighting effect can also make some difference when you notice it when playing but i think it is minimal because you have to pay attention for other things. I dont think there is any sort of in skins for mania that makes you alot better, only preference.

Edit: For CTB note im not a really CTB player but i can imagine a round fruit skin that looks the same for anything, like just a blue ball or something could make a difference. Also making the numbers transparent maybe? Since i read some people complaining they are blocking in fl mode but i dont know. Just an idea

Thank you guys, that helps a lot, but still would like to have few more opinions.
And would be great if someone could tell me something about "pro" taiko skin.
(I think, I will need to find some good players and ask directly :/)
