Best skin I've ever seen! Good luck in updating!

Thanks.

If anyone hasn't noticed yet, I added "pending update" to the original post. This is so people know what to expect in the next coming updates. It is also a way for me to keep track of what I done over the week.


Edit: Update tomorrow. Expect it around 6pm (18:00) eastern standard time. Going to install a new operating system on my computer. I want this update out so people can enjoy the snow effect as soon as possible.

New update out. Future updates are on halt till after the holidays.

Tips for snow: If you move your mouse, the snow spins in that direction. The further you move it, the faster it spins. Pretty neat.

You forgot "Changed score bar" in the newest changelog.
Also, nice snow.

Awesome skin thank you! I think the menu snow is a bit obnoxiously big though.

I didn't take the other resolutions that people may play at into consideration. It looks fine on my end. If you want, you can replace it with "blank.png" in the extra folder. That will remove it completely.

Nice skin, I don't mind if there's more Shinobu though
I don't know where you got the countdown voice, but I do love it and the "kaka" laugh.

Countdown is from -Kamui-. The "kaka" laugh is from Nisemonogatari episode 4. I just recorded it with Audacity, and then did some vocal edits on it to clean out the cut a bit.

Exactly what i was looking for, thank you so much :3

EPIC! thank you very much <:

I really like this skin, everything is good.
I can't really see the hitpoints doe, too dark

I actually had someone send in a complaint about this yesterday. My monitor may be a bit brighter than others, so I am going to include a brighter hitcircle in the next update.

When can we expect another update?

Out now.

I get a huge fps drop during spinners, because the center dot moves when I spin. Is there a way to disable that so I can get better fps when I'm spinning?

Tha doesn't make sense since the old one also spins. Once I get home I will the old one and see if that works. Unless you want to try that. Just take a skin pack before the HD release. I thin it will have to be renamed though.

Another thing you can test, is to use another skin that uses the new skin behavior and see if that also causes fps drop.

I meant 300, 100, 50 etc

I think everything is fine. except

Not sure if my eyes are bad or not, but I can't see the approach circles at all xD

I still can't seem to figure out why I'm getting low framerate on spinners. It goes from ~225 FPS to ~60 whenever there's a spinner. I think it has to do with the way the center of the spinner follows the cursor, but I don't know how to disable that. I tried old versions of your skin, and spinners were never a problem until after the 12.7.13 update (12.7.13 update worked fine with spinners).

Can you test another skin that uses the new skin behaviour?

EDIT: Open up skin.ini and remove the line that says "Version: 2". See if that helps.

I'm using a 100% black bg
Btw I can't modify the spinner circle. I change it but it doesn't swap

Going to guess you are using the wrong file. There is two spinner circles. One is for the old skin behavior. It will be removed in the next update (next week, busy right now). The files you want to edit should be, "spinner-middle" and "spinner-middle2".

i have a problem with ur skin idk if its just me or what but first of all the fps drop in spins which people already mentioned but the main problem is when i do spins, the point system is wrong or something. i have a consistent 340-360 spin and i tested it. on one song with the skin i only got 1k points and when i switched to default skin, i would get around 3-4k. could you maybe look into this?

Awesome skin! c:

As for the fps drop issue. I still have not figure it out. I worked with someone and we did a lot of stuff, but still workingn it. It is hard for me to test since I get 800+ fps no matter what.

For the 300 spinner points, I think I noticed that, but I will look into it more when I get home.

really nice skin
about the fps drop i get rock solid 2k fps always maybe something is wrong with your pc

I tested the spin, and both problems are non exist to me. I really wish it wasn't the case so I can help.

As for the spinner not going over 350, and you getting 3k-4k, I doubt that. OSU doesn't go above 477.
As for the FPS drop...still working on it.

Thanks.

ik osu doesnt go above 477 but i am legitimately losing points. i can even record and show you about the point change. it is very obvious. but when i put on auto spin, it spins at 280 something and still gets more points than me. i doubt that i spin slower than 280. the counter like i said is 320-380

Definetly the best skin I ever used.
By the way, I have no idea what spinner problem those people are talking about, I get even better spins than I did with the old skin.

Not sure. If you don't mind, make a video showing the default skin and my skin.

awesome skin

I just noticed. I think I left "CLICK CLICK BANG BANG" soundset in the main folder. If you want the default sounds, they are in the extra folder. Sorry about that. It will be changed back in the next update.

I have been playing for four months. You made a skin that caught my eye, this and another skin a friend made me are the only ones I like. Thank you for this skin.

Could anyone tell me what some popular holidays are? I can do the American holidays. Making holiday icons for menu-snow. So far I have two dutch holidays. Dodenherdenking and Doningsdag. Also, please don't mention holidays that may share the same symbol. Like Valentine's day in America and White Day in Japan. They can both use a heart.

Thank you in advance.

Not a problem.

Great job ! I'm using a skin (mainly for osu!mania as I don't play any other modes) which is the exact opposite of this one, and mine hurts like a truck when lights are switched off.

Might try this one out someday if I'm not too lazy to play some osu!standard.


By the way, that science part in the OP was interesting.
Keep up the good work !

Yea it's not ready yet for Mania. That is the only thing left to skin. Hopefully the next update or two will get Mania done.

I'm glad I decided to look at some more skins, the colours in this are perfect. Looking forward to more updates on this! ^^

EDIT: The only thing I'm not liking is the spinner, but I understand this is a wip so I hope this helps!

It is almost done actually. Just need to finish Taiko and Mania. I suppose I can make an alternative and more noticeable spinner. What did you not like about it?

You're a genius

I found it difficult to tell the sense of speed when using it, maybe cause I'm used to a bar filling, but I don't think that many people use a bar. It's not important or anything but I just found it off putting idk ^^

The bars/meter on the side? Pretty sure that is disable with the new skin behavior. I could unforce that and add a meter. I rather not though since the new skin seems to handle scoreboard better and has more skin elements to work/customize. Hope you get use to it though, you can always check your speed with the box at the bottom.

Interesting, think i will use it. At least the circles(I play osu with a frankstein skin) '-'
Also, nice article, gives some ideas for messing with things around here, less stress on the eyes is a good thing.

New skin is out. Everything should be fully skinned. (Unless I miss a few things).

Just 3 major updates before I release a final version. Menu/ui redesign (if it works how I want it to), design some new sounds, and optimize the skin. There is a few elements not in HD. This will also be part of the menu/ui redesign.

These updates will come when they are done. Mainly depend on when I feel like doing them.

Unless something breaks, or I miss an important element, then no other updates will come out anytime soon. I feel like I missed some mania elements. Since I am not a mania player, I don't know what I may have missed.

May do the er elements if I can get my hands on it or have someone test them for me. Not sure.

Great news !

Forgot to skin Taiko-hits. Will get those done tomorrow hopefully.

This is a great skin and a good read as well! Keep up the hard work!

gimmie a poke when you're ready and I'll check this fully

New update for Taiko hits.

Edit: Not sure how I missed it, but "cursor_circle1" in the extra folder is using the wrong cursor. Not important enough for another update. So it will be included in one of the big ones.

Edit 2: Taiko hits are kind of hard to play with. I have added newer version on the OP. It is just the hits themselves, so extract them into the Luminance folder.

this is definitely the most complete and best skin for playing the game that's actually on these forums

also what does this mean in the extras folder "If you are going to use the followpoint, don't forget to delete followpoint.png in the main folder." I'm confus since removing the followpoint.png and @2x files does nothing at all

Copy the these files into the main folder.



Delete these files from the main folder.



Since the follow point in the extra folder is animated and the one in the main folder is not, it will not ask you to replace the followpoint files.

oh yeah I must've done that already when I first ed the skin

I start using this today and is awesome GJ ♥

Added another optional for spinners. Only needed if you play hidden mod. This should make spinners a bit easier with hidden mod. Will be included in the future.

Wow this is a really nice skin . I love the circle in Taiko hha xD

And the size of fade in and random mod in mania is different from the other mods

he doesn't use a higher resolution i think, that's why.
the normal ones are smaller than the HD ones.
Random, Nightcore, Perfect and Fade-In mod icons are 50x47 instead of 69x65.

thx~

I see now. Fixed those with the newest update.

Awesome skin~

Glad to see you're still continuing with this, it's my favourite skin by far. I've altered a few things for personal preference but this is now my skin of preference! Let me know if you'd like to see my changes and I'll up them for you to see!

spinnerwarning.png is missing
what selection-mod-fadeout.png. don't see a fadeout mod anywhere ._."
also why is selection-mod-fadein/random smaller than the other mods?
maybe edit an F2 into selection-random.png?

looks fine other than that

I don't think that is used with the new skin behavior anymore.

selection-mod-fadeout.png
It was part of the new skin template. Will double check in the future.

selection-mod-fadein/random smaller
Addressed in the 1.25.14 update.

F2 into selection-random.png
Addressed in the 1.18.14 update.

nice skin

I don't see me finishing this skin any time soon. It is done and complete though, just a few tweaks.
I have stopped playing OSU till I play a ranked map made by shaneoyo. I am addicted to Final Fantasy XIV.

I found a missing element: menu-background.png - the custom background that osu! ers get.

I am aware of this, and decided not to include since most people have a preference on what to add to that.

Love the skin, it fits my liking :3
Thank you for makign it ^^

oh crap i was meant to look at this again. if i haven't check again by sunday, poke me ingame or something

New update out for UI. Some elements still need redesign. (Mainly taiko) These will be part of the optimization update.

This skin is exactly what I was looking for, too perfect for my liking. Thanks for the time you've invested in making it!

Thanks. I should have the final release ready tonight.

There will not be custom hitsounds though, and that will be explained tonight.

Final version is out. Below is the explanation on why I will not do custom hitsounds, and why they were reverted back to the default.

Sounds are usually broke into 3 parts. Low, Mid and High. The low end is your bass, mid is your sounds like snares, and high is your high hats. Sound only have so much room to fight each other for air space. So if you play two kick drums at the same time and if they are both at 100hz, then the loudest one will be heard. If they are both heard, then it is muddy and sound messy. This is where the problem comes in at. It is recommended at sounds are kept under -3db. This is how a loudest of sound is measure. -3db is suggested so you don't blow your sound system from playing noise too loud. This is great and all, so I know how loud to make my hitsounds. However there are tricks to make your sound louder and still be under -3db. This is called compression. Not sure how to explain it into detail, but it basically takes all your sounds, bumps them up to as loud as they can, but makes it so they don't go over the line. It is good though. It can make or break a song from sounding completely different and it is a common technique used in mastering (making sure everything sounds good and processed before you finalized it) sounds.

To make it simple, I can add a compressor to my hit sounds to try to drown out the music in OSU a bit. However each song is master differently, so it would be rather time consuming. If I compress them too much, then they will be distorted. You could change the sound setting in OSU though for the music and effect.

Now here is the other reason I won't do hitsounds, mappers.

Even if I did somehow make a sound that fit with every song out there, mappers are still a problem. Wasn't sure about it before, but I asked a friend that maps about it before I started on the sounds. He told me that mappers can control the volume of each hitsound (or anything that is not a mp3 or ogg file). So that is another issue I would have to try to patch up.

In the long run, it is not worth my time to make custom hitsounds if they are going to be drown out by the music, or reduced by mappers.

2 things could be fixed.
selection-random.png doesn't have F2 in it. only selection-random-over.png does, while selection-mods.png and selection-options.png have their respective F1/F3
and this one isn't as bad, but maybe extend the width of the ranking box so it works with maps with huge scores/combos. example

it's enough to be moved though

Both of these should be fixed now.

I've been using this skin for a while now, and I absolutely love it. Thanks for making this Uruoki!

You're welcome.

I think the white color of the numbers, rank letters, hitcircleoverlay and sliderborder is too bright for the eyes, especially contrasting with a black background. Why not change them to a darker/softer color?

Not sure if this was pointed or not, but the skin is missing volume-bg-effect.png (edit: alt+scroll wheel in-game). Not that big of a deal, but you can skin it real quickly if you want, or just copy paste volume-bg.png and colour replace the notches or something. Everything else is real solid.

Both of these have been addressed and included in the newest .

This skin is absolutely awesome! It did wonders to my nomod readability, and it allows me to play without tiring my eyes, which I had problems earlier. I wouldn't be surprised if this skin would get featured in skin showcase soon Great job!

Thanks.

Updated first post with new screenshots. Still need to get around to ing video unless someone else will do it.

I can do it, but tell me if it has to be some specific mode, or just a replay?

30 second to a minute of each game mode should be enough. Maybe osu standard spinner also.

If you do, thanks in advance.

If I get my vegas running I'll do it
EDIT: Ok, it's done, but unfortunately only version that I got running was 12 trial version so I couldn't disable that watermark floating at the bottom. But I hope you'll still like it

My 1st time doing this seems not so bad after all

ed this and it's very friendly to play at night, nice work, I only have a little complain about the taiko scrollbar in kiai, is too bright imo.

I know this skin wasn't mean for editing, just noticed you have hitcircleselect and hitcircleselect@2x inversed (256x256 and 128x128 respectively, it should be in the other way).

Nice work tho.

Didn't notice hitcircleselects being wrong size. As for the Taiko scrollbar, I left that out because the size was too much of a pain to figure it out. However I have added a quick "hotfix" for it. It may be the wrong size, but it works. Both of these are in the newest .

Added to the first post. Thanks for the video. The watermark is fine.

The skin fails to import so I can't use it. Both s are the same so I can't solve the problem by going to the zip file either. Is there a way around this?

Nice job man this skin is awesome.

osk data is broken

zip files links to the osk files

mmokay

For the new broken osk, use WinRAR archiver to extract it.

Should be fixed now.

I laughed at taiko-hitcircle but nah it disturbing for me.

Also why is that taiko-slideris imperfect ; ;

std is just perfect. I love you.

I tried ctb but I think I'm too noob to give you critics on it. What I feel is that it's nice although I couldn't see the fruit clearly with default skin combo colour, or it was me!

Not to mention that it's pretty good in mania.

I will use this skin for a while. Big applause for this skin.

one of the best skin really awesome

Also why is that taiko-slideris imperfect ; ;

I tried using plain taiko-hitcircles, however a taiko player said it was hard to read. He said he used faces for the hitcircles, so I figure the black breaks up the solid colors and makes it easier to read. So I decided to make my own faces for it.

As for the slider, I tried and tried to get the resolution correct. However any kind of small changes I made seem to worked against me. I may mess with it again laster. It should get the job done though.

Edit:Cinema icon is now skinned.

The best skin that I've used, no doubt. I feel like it has improved my reading and it's safe to say that I won't be using a different skin for a very long time. Thanks

I Love you for that awesome skin <3.
But somehow all my sliders are coloured black today. My preformance is way worse since that. Is it because of a skin update or did i do something wrong ?
I reloaded the skin but nothing changed ?
