is playfield.jpg useless now ?

isn't that playfield.png?

Well, playfield.png is still used in few old maps that doesn't have background.

i tried renaming the bg of a map, and osu! displayed a black background instead of playfield.png (song selection)

It only works when map doesn't have any bg from beginning. If you remove bg from map it won't work.

Example : http://osu-ppy-sh.jeuxcrack.net/s/2934

ahhhh.... makes sense. haha

Does anyone know how to change the mod icon on the background?

You can try removing the BG and putting in playfield.png and rename it to BG.png. Not sure if this works but it's worth a try.

Actually, you can change that, but I'm not sure if this will be available in new template skin.

Try to edit :

mode-fruits.png
mode-taiko.png
mode-osu.png
mode-mania.png

But don't complain if it's going to be disabled. We don't know what we can and what we can't add to our skin. ^^;

MLGnom, it works! Thank you.

If you want to use, smaller will be better than, same size with mod icon (67x65...i guess)

It covers mods you used when not reduced opacity like in my image

I should be the same size as the mod icons as it appears as an extra mod but doesn't appear on nomod.


I made mine wider cause didn't like it overlapping with the mods cause I am just putting some random image there.

Is there something like fruit-ryuuta when press shift ?

Dash in CtB uses "fruit-ryuuta.png". If you made animated catcher, you need to add base sprite of your character.

fruit-ryuuta.png - will be used as dash (might need some positioning if you want to make it correctly with animation.
fruit-ryuuta-0.png
fruit-ryuuta-1.png
fruit-ryuuta-2.png
fruit-ryuuta-3.png
etc... are animations of your character. This is the only one exception where animation overrides base sprite.

Well, that's depends on person who is making skin. (his/her photoediting skills, ideas, free time, what is actually skinned etc.). If person really want to release skin it can take few days - up to week.

Yes it is, as long as it's created for HD resolution (resolution with height larger than 1000px or forced in osu! config file). Every skin file that is supposed to be HD should have "@2x" in the end. For example :

thanks for the reply, but sorry I have a problem with that you said about @ x2

is that it does not work I put an image and adapt to 1920x1080 resolution I put the name to be next to @ x2 and does not work, put a transparent black screen

supposedly this although I have a lower resolution screen (mine is 1366x768) image would have to adapt to my resolution even though the picture is 1920x1080 right?

What I want is to make a skin that can be used on any screen and images are made full screen

If you are using 1366x768 you (or anyone else) will need to force this option to work. (resolution height is lower than 1000px)

Find in main osu! folder, file named "osu!.<name>.cfg" and open it with notepad.
Then you need to find this line :

HighResolution = 0

And change 0 to 1.

If you want to make skin for every resolution just make 2 backgrounds : Normal and HD (this is even recommended for everyone if someone is making HD skin)

Also, that @x2 MUST be 2x size of normal sprite since it will be way to small.

Example :
"pause-overlay.png" - is normal pause screen. Size : 1366x768px
"[email protected]" - will be replaced if person is using resolution with height above 1000px or forced it (this thing above). Size : 2732x1536px

I really need the metrics for the ranking screen elements!

Preferred size of "Perfect," how to align the score graph and position of accuracy/combo numbers

No, actually you can decide with which style you want to make a skin (but stil,l older skins might need some fixing).



I'm slowly testing things and maybe I will be able to make another update soon.

You can also create animation of several skin parts, with are :
- followpoint
- fruit-ryuuta
- menu-back
- play-skip
- scorebar-colour
- sliderfollowcircle
- taiko mascot
- taikocircleoverlay
- taikobigcircleoverlay
- hitbursts (300,100,50,miss etc.)
- hitcircleoverlay
- sliderball

And there is few in osu!mania like LightingL, hitbursts etc. but I don't them all (and maybe I missed something ^^; ).

2. After counting of animation, before .png extension.

"[email protected]"
"[email protected]"
"[email protected]"
"[email protected]"...

animating the osu!mania hitbursts isn't good. only 3 or 4 frames will be appear since the next notes will most probably replace it. hmm.... thanks.

edit: use 12 frames

using kona x taros' template of ranking-perfect.png and ranking-graph.png , I've done It well and It turned nice thou I attempt many times

but did the cursortrail's size limited only up to 10*10 ?
cz as far as what I can see, most of new skin have cursotrail's size around 1*1 or 8*8

Actually it doesn't have any limit for the size of any image in this game. That limit is only used to make sure it shouldn't break the game interface.
In my case, i still use a cursortrail 60x60.

Edit: LoL, your 499th post and my 466th post xD

No, it isn't limited. If you want 80x80px do it, if you want more...do it. ^^;

But "cursor trail" have different behaviour if you add "cursor middle". If you are making large cursor trail together with cursor middle it requires more powerful PC to looks good (because it can heavily reduce fps).

A small question: More image = more load = more reduce FPS?
Does this mean we shouldn't use more animated part in game?

Yuki-kun wrote: 642j17

imo (in my opinion), you can use animated parts depending on your preference
and it does not necessarily mean that a great FPS drop might occur

this happens (the FPS drop/Lag) for some players who are running low end PCs
filesize does matter too (in some occasions)

i still not really understand how they work

Cursor.png goes under cursormiddle and is rotatable. Cursormiddle will cause cursortrail to have an unlimited drawing rate, and is the topmost part of the entire cursor. This item does not rotate. Cursortrail is the bottom-most item and its drawing rate becomes unlimited if cursormiddle is present

Spinnertop and spinner bottom are the parts that "spin around" when you're doing a spinner. Spinnermiddle is the main part of the spinner where the spinnertop/bottom fits inside. Spinnerglow is the glow around the whole spinner. Spinnerapproachcircle is the element that changes in color as the spinner comes to an end. I actually play with the traditional "classic" style spinner so pardon me if the information I give is inaccurate, but I did a little testing prior to this post just to make sure

Yuki-kun wrote: 642j17

The only noticeable fps drop is when you are using really large pictures or if you are doing any long and fast animations (50+ frames on hitbursts for example), but too be honest you must have really old PC (or something messed up on newer) to have fps drops caused by skins .

I'm actually using netbook Acer - Aspire One with AMD C-50 Dual core 1GHz U, 4 GB ram and Radeon HD 6250. I'm running osu! at 220 fps easily and when using HD skin (with forced HD in config file) and long cursor trail behaviour (29x29px size) still have fps at ~120-140.

use this atm. it's my 60-frame followpoint. it's some kind of an imitation of the default, plus a smoother motion and cleaner exit. use at 60 FPS setting on your skin.ini.

also, I hate the cursortrail right now. It draws the trail depending on the size of your cursortrail sprite (if you have a cursormiddle). I can't use my 150x150px smooth cursortrail anymore >.<

@Lance5 the play-warningarrow was recolored since the last last last update. We won't know how to change it back until peppy releases the template skin.

yuki-kun, what? there are no error messages. it's just that osu! rewrites osu!.cfg and overwrites the HighResolution setting everytime I start osu!.
