[question] Some questions about skinning about opsu HOT 5 CLOSED

Hey, thanks for your interest! To be honest, the skinning in opsu! is pretty awful right now, and I've been planning to actually write a skin loader when I get a chance (probably sometime over the summer, but no guarantees). The goal is to make skinning more like osu!, where you'd be able to keep multiple skins in the Skins/ folder and switch between them in-game, and actually read the options in skin.ini; there wouldn't be a need to "convert" skins from osu! once this is done, as they'd be directly compatible.

To answer your questions:

1. One difference from osu! is that I'm not hiding any resources, which is why you can change things like the logo very easily. This probably won't change, and I don't mind if anyone skins these images.
2. No, don't delete anything inside the JAR. The application won't run if you delete META-INF. Just to be sure, you're putting skins in the external Skins/ directory and not changing the JAR itself, right?
3. See above. File names won't change, but there will be subdirectories and a skin.ini in the future.
4. Correct. That option just searches for files suffixed with @2x first.
5. opsu! doesn't have its own skin yet (just a combination of images from other skins), but if anyone is interested in creating one, shoot me a message. :P

Doesn't seem to work, unless it was added after the last release. But yeah, I was opening the JAR with an archive manager and dragging them in.

That was added a long time ago, and works fine for me. Is the folder path being set correctly in the config file?

Where was the config file again? I'm on Linux

EDIT: nvm found it, it works now.
