Hmm thank you that already helps alot.
Mhm but the position of the button itself isn't changable right? Like with a command in the skin.ini or something.
I wanted to put the 3 buttons right next to each other in the upper left corner but i dont think it will work like that will it?

Unfortunately not. Most everything is in a completely set position and any variations you see in them through various skins are the result of fudging placement with differing resolutions and blank spaces. And some elements - like the pause buttons - don't work very well when you try to fudge them vertically, as they start to overlap.

Hm thats a shame. But still thank you very much for the tip .
I'll try to position the buttons with your methode the way i imagined.

Every skin with that type of spinner gets its background dimmed for good.

Sadly it's that since "new" skin were introduced. Old style bg's never got fixed, even after many reports. :/

Oh, that's a shame. Too bad that it'll not going to work for the time being.

Anyway, I tried to skin the new spinners, and it worked pretty good so far. But there is still one question that pops up in my head: Is it possible to change the spinner from it's non-spinned condition until it's spinned?

I guesss that this wasn't a good formulation, so here's an example: At the start of the spinner, the image should be balck and white. I guess that this position is represented by the spinner-bottom in the new skin behaviour.
After the player starts to spin, the spinner should turn from B/W into color over the course of the spin. This would be spinner-top, if my assumption is right.

After my reasoning I tried it out with a spinner-bottom in black and white and with a spinner-top in color, but this didn't really worked out, since the spinner was in color at all time. I guess that means that I still don't understand much of the new spinner behaviour, and I thought that I could figure it out. Oh well.

It would be very helpful if someone could point out the exact useage of spinner-top and spinner-bottom, although I guess that this was already explained earlier in the thread.

All the spinner elements are on screen at once during a spinner. spinner-top is overlaid onto spinner-bottom, and when start spinning both these elements spin at different rates to give the crazier swirl effect. spinner-middle get additive red color as you spin acting as the spinner metre. spinner-glow gets additive blue color as you spin acting as a secondary spin metre, and then flashes whenever you get a spinner bonus tic.

If you want to make your spinner gain additive color as it's spun you should try messing with a solid spinner-glow and mostly transparent spinner-top/bottoms. You can also manipulate exactly what color the final result will be by making your spinner-glow a specific color that mixes with the additive color to make a different result.

this is the element order of the new spinner (if i got it right)

OsuMe65 wrote: 4d3mn

This is correct. As another side note on spinners - spinner-middle2 is basically a spinner-top-top as it's overlaid onto spinner-top and it also spins, giving you three rotating layers to work with. I can't recall if spinner-middle2 spins at the same rate as spinner-top though.

Well, then my plan wouldn't work well with these three individual-spinning spinners, since I'm using a static picture and not a pattern-like one, I guess. A simple spinner should do the job for now. Thanks for the help!

I also finished the hitbursts today, the hit300-images are 102x211 large (height x width). They're fitting nicely and they shouldn't be larger than the hitburts that the template provides, but I would like to make sure, are they too large for regular play?

that depends on how you see your hitbursts during play.
well, as for the size... it should work well since it is smaller than the default's 256x256

Mistake, during gameplay, the approach circle lies below spinner-middle2, using my own older skin elements I made.

Hello, I'm in the middle of skin creation and am now working on menu-background and a question popped as I don't know how to solve it since i'm not a er yet. Picture size is 1366x768. I read that picture will be cut from left side at lower width resolutions. Will bottom of the picture will also be cut or will it be shrunk first and then cut?

1366x768 is a 16:9 resolution, if you are using a 16:10 5:4 or 4:3 resolution the background image will be fit to the resolution vertically then cropped on the sides to fit the ratio.

How do you change the hitsounds on a skin? The skin I'm using does not have any hitsound files like normal-hitclap or so forth. I ed a hitsound I liked and put it in but it doesn't make any sound when I play in osu? Yes I reloaded the client and also have the option for using the skins hitsounds enabled.

Try also different maps, sometimes maps have forced sounds.

Edit: used the test build to test these elements

I want to make a accurate PRO skin for myself and i can't find any info on hitboxes for circles and cursors. Can anyone tell me what they are.

I see a lot of different pixel sizes and shapes for cursors too. Is the hitbox the cursor.png file or is it a separate entity?

I also see people making squares instead of circles for skins. Do the corners of those squares act also as part of the hitbox?

edit: did some testing i think the cursor is a single pixel and circles are 1-3 pixels off from 124x124

I'm not sure what the actual hitbox on circles is, I've been meaning to ask peppy/test this out myself, but in the meantime the actual hitboxes on cursors and circles are defined by the game, not the graphic. That would be silly.

on topic: did you recolor those menu Icons like Play?

You can't skin these things outside the test build so why try to find them? (I already have a list of all of them by the way) Them even working in the test build anyway I assume is just an oversight.

test build skinnables = test build only
using them is totally bullsh*t because:

1. destroy's new default's beauty (not quite important)
2. those elements are space bloaters
3. those elements are not necessary in anyway...

(@King of Thread Locking: leave something here... if you have any additions )

Here's my breakdown of skinning levels.



-Level 1-
Prefer old version skinning
skin.ini (skin name and author)
Hit Circles (base, overlay, approach circle)
Font Numbers (default and score by basic)
Spinners (all old version parts)
Cursor (all parts)

-Level 2-
Ranking Letters (all, including small)
Countdowns (images and audio)
Skip Button
Section Judging (images and audio)

-Level 3-
Hitbursts (all)
Ranking Screen ()
Pause and Fail Screen (all parts)
Back Button
skin.ini (custom color set)

-Level 4-
Song Selection Buttons (all buttons)
Menu Button Background
Sliders (ticks, reverses, score points)
Playfield

-Level 5-
Follow Points (animated or non-animated)
Ranking Screen (all other graphics including winner )
Unranked Graphic
Slider Balls (animated or non-animated)
Warning Arrows

-Level 6-
Modifier Icons (all osu! based)
Difficulty Stars
Effect Stars
Combo Bursts (single or multiple)
Hit Circle Select (in editor)

-Level 7-

Score Bar (all)
skin.ini (all other options)

-Level 8-
Taiko (notes, drumrolls, sliders, or fail)
Catch the Beat (all fruit images)

-Level 9-

o!m .ini's (lane sizes and playfield position)

-Level 11-
osu!mania (all other images)
Taiko Mascot (all animations)

-Level 12-
Key Input Tab (all)
Scalable Buttons (all)
Tabs

-Level 13-
Use new style skinning
Spinners (all new version parts)
Particles (all)

And what are these levels are supposed to tell us?

i don't think "skinning levels" would denote the skin's content... or the skinner type
just saying because gary didn't specify any
(brb bringing back the correct thread icon)

The 'levels' are the steps which the skinner may make into a successful skin. For example, the brand new skin begins with no images, and bit by bit, the sprites or images will be made into this library. So this is the progression of how a basic skinner learns to make it successful.

There isn't. The only slider adjustments you can make are border color, track color override, and the track style.

You could just edit the hitcircleoverly.png to match the slider border's thickness.

I don't want to do that beacuse the hitbox is bigger then the default hitcircleoverly.png.you can actually click a few pixels outside from the default hitcircleoverly.png

you must adjust your hitcircle since there's no code for sliderborder adjustment

I have a problem with the hitcircles i make. This is what happens on the sliders......please help


pic related

Ummm... That yellow thing with red dots is supposed to be hitcircle yes? And it's out of place? Now the question. Are you trying to make it in HD? ("[email protected]").

Anyway please provide that hitcircle so I can test if it is broken for me too. (If you don't want to distribute it here, send me it via PM)

Edit : Resolved.

Hitcircle had too large canvas size. guys standard hitcircle should be 128x128. Otherwise it will mess up on sliders.

11. fruit-pear.png
12. fruit-pear-overlay.png
13. fruit-ryuuta.png

Thanks Deadbeat is there also a way to not color them cause I want them plain grey but osu colors them :l

i'll have to let someone else answer that one sorry, just packed up laptop so can't do any checking :<

Ahh damn well I hope it is possible

If you make the fruit-overlay a solid color osu can't colorize them. I just did a quick test to see if grey worked and it seems to, so just make your fruits use solid overlays.

Woohoo... I have made progress with updating thread. Points 1,2,3 are finished (still, I will add/change things there over time, but generally it should stay same as it is now).

What was the filename for the ranking screen background? I forgot it.. =.=

Didn't it use your playfield.png? Atleast that's how I it doing it. I think that functionality got removed completely when the ranking screen got updated to show the song diff BG on the background.

You can always just override that by making a 1366x768 (2732x1536@2x) ranking-.png and covering the entire screenspace.

My skin's play warning arrow is displaying in a blue color, and it still does this even with different arrows and skins.

The arrow was meant to look like this:

well for now the play-warningarrow will be tinted with blue on pause menu....

Yeah the warning arrow gets tinted blue on the pause menu and red during breaks. There's no real way to by it.

You can always use "old skin behaviour"...

If you are using 16:9 resolution.

Then the circle-rotating thingy near the rank letter isn't visible anymore. [ the was over it ]
And its already movable [ well since its the ]

So you saw this on screenshot...
It was new one made after new default skin update. Or before?
Also it was old beatmap without background or new one but with deleted bg? (Not sure if it will work if you delete background from newer beatmap).

I'm not sure if its before or after but I think that uses the skin before the update.
I always see that the always has a Black Rock Shooter background on his ranking results. [ Not by replacing the real background ]

Right now I'm at work so I'm unable to test if playfield will work when beatmap background is be deleted. (Probably will be only black screen, but I'm not sure about that.)
Will test this one after work. (Or if someone will do that before me).

For transparency you alter the alpha value. In an RGBA code it will be the fourth number. Quick example; 255,255,255,255 is solid white, 255,255,255,0 is totally invisible. Note that not all RGB parameters used by the game accept an alpha value.

Also It helps to specify what part your editing.

I believe the color changing started about 2-3 days ago.

This is actually controlled by the 'Shader effects' tic box in the graphics options, if you turn it off your screen won't have any effects applied like the health drain or kiai start flash.

There's another skinning element called masking-border.png. These are used to cover the sides for 4:3 resolution storyboards. On the left it's original, but on the right the element is flipped horizontally.



So my plan is: if we have two different sprite names masking-border-left.png and masking-border-right.png, it uses two different border images separately without flipping any of these sprites. Agree?

Isn't that a beatmap only option? And it's a storyboard option not skinning? D:

I don't think they do, it's just slider style 3 combined with that slider color shows more through your circle than the background of the non slider circle.

Your are probably on the beat of the circle in editor and the slider starts at a later time. Notes will gradually fade out when they get further away from the point you are in the song for editor.
Don't know the name of this 'point in song' cause I can't map ;(
Hopefully you understood my bad explanation.

some important advice for HD Skinners:

1. Double the Resolution of standard elements
2. Create That Element Using Bigger Images
3. Save that Element to (Filename)@2x.png
4. After you save that element, divide the HD resolution eg. 1332/2=666
5. Save it as (Filename).png
6. You have SD & HD Element Skinned

If you want to remove it completely, replace the 'ranking-graph.png' with an empty/full transparent image.
or
If they box is part of the 'ranking-.png', use some sort of software that s transparency (Gimp, Photoshop etc.) and just erase it.

some important advice for HD Skinners:

1. Double the Resolution of standard elements
2. Create That Element Using Bigger Images
3. Save that Element to (Filename)@2x.png
4. After you save that element, divide the HD resolution eg. 1332/2=666
5. Save it as (Filename).png
6. You have SD & HD Element Skinned

peppy (or someone else) gave that advice before you did.

It would be good to include that at the first post so other skinners can save time on making their skins..

Someone can explain why circle at normal and slider has a kinda different opacity?



Or was it me?

Your are probably on the beat of the circle in editor and the slider starts at a later time. Notes will gradually fade out when they get further away from the point you are in the song for editor.
Don't know the name of this 'point in song' cause I can't map ;(
Hopefully you understood my bad explanation.

fyi the slider is on play so I believe it should be on 100%
Also hitcircle.png intended to be a bit transparent, I only curious about that overlay.

Hey guys, I need help. I ed this image to create a comboburst, it had a grey background and I followed the steps in the tutorial to make the background transparent. I saved it as .png. In game it looks like this:
What am I doing wrong ?

Edit: Ok i could fix it by coloring the background white first and then removing it. You have to select the color that will be made transparent and it is white by default in gimp. Since i couldnt figure out how to change it to the exact grey i have i could do it this way.

well sounds like the original image's deleted part didn't fully deleted, like 50% transparency left behind

So it wasn't white as you can see.
1. Use colour picker tool to select background colour : (with this you will see that background colour wasn't white (#FFFFFF) )



2. Now open that picked colour and copy it's HTML notatnion :



3. Select mask of character and open "Colour to alpha" and change colour by clicking on bar and pasting previously copied HTML colour notation.



Well these combobursts tutorials still need upgrade. ^^;
