lucid Ah got this error:

here is line 72 for reference:

for (i = 0, leni = this.animations.length; i < leni; i++)[/code:23gnjlky]
Are you using the new mode to load with? And did you possibly download the old version? I made the text smaller now to hopefully avoid confusion.

Hi again everyone. I believe I've sorted out all of your issues. Let me know if I missed someone:

Download here! 6/23/2016
- Fixed bug where scaled animations didn't display correctly using the new direct drawing mode
- Fixed a bug where the key expression would cause an error
- Fixed a bug where mainline keys with instant speed curves were improperly propagating their instant curves to individual object keys
- Fixed a bug where character maps with hidden images weren't hiding the images in direct drawing mode
Please download
this version of the plugin if you're getting an error on load because your project was started with an older version of the plugin and you don't plan to convert your project to the new mode.

Thanks for your patience everyone. Have a few things keeping me busy I need to take care of at the moment, but I will look into all of this and get back to you in the next few days.

That's weird. can you send me the zipped Spriter project for that character. I have a few random things I'd like to try, and it'll go much more quickly if I can just try them back to back. If you don't mind, send to and mention you're mudmask.

The implementation looks fine, but just to rule out any bugs that I didn't notice, or narrow down the bugs to those particular actions, can you just put the animation in an empty project with no events and see if it plays correctly there?

If it doesn't, can you please screen record what the choppiness looks like at runtime?

Found yet another bug with this program. If you have triggers such as sound triggers or event triggers and keyframes (presumably during the same time as a trigger) with the easing curve set to "instant" the triggers will activate many times. You can test this by just making a CAPX with a sound real quick and trying it, but if you really need a CAPX we'll try to get one over when we can

I really just wanted to warn the public of this because it caused us endless amounts of grief, I debugged the game, plugin, SCON file, and SCML file, possibly in that order, I don't even remember anymore, and I only found the issue by using super-old-fashioned debugging methods I've been using for almost half my life, lol. It should have been much more obvious, but sometimes when you assume two things are unrelated, or make changes you *think* are small, surprises come up. XP

Just to be sure, this is a bug with the plugin, not the program, right?

Hey lucid thanks for the update! It seems to work great aside from one thing: character maps. I've used them plenty of times before, but I can't seem to get any character maps to appear in C2. It always just shows the default. I've e-mailed you a minimal C2 example showing it so you don't have to, but choosing to append a character map does nothing with the new rendering method.

hey — I took a look at your capx. The issue is that the file hasn't been loaded yet at start of layout, so it doesn't yet have the character maps to append. If you change 'Start of Layout' to scml - 'On Initialized' it works as expected.

Will this ever be updated to the Steam $25 version?

StarCS - Actually this is the same version. We just forgot to update the price here. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Just updater the scml plugin, error~~

The image is broken for me, but I think I know the error you're referring to.

If you're not planning to upgrade your project to the new method, please use this version of the plugin until I find a solution to the issue.

lucid - Thanks for the fix.
Edit: The Spriter Animation still doesn't change opacity.

Whoops, forgot to actually upload it. It should work now.

— . K, the opacity thing is fixed. Will have to look further into the image/nametag thing. Don't want to use the spritesheet if possible, and haven't found a way to retrieve the name at edittime yet.
