Title: Fighter Factory Studio 3.5.3 (UPDATED June, 16)
Post by: VirtuallTek on April 04, 2018, 02:43:30 pm
Fighter Factory Studio released!
After one year of work, 13 years before release of the first edition, we are glad to launch Fighter Factory Studio to the public. This new version is a huge improvement over any previous edition. Although it lacks some features, it's a solid base to upcoming functions that will be added. As said on previous announcements, we aim to be able to edit every single game asset, on any engine we add support. Fighter Factory was designed to be a character editor, version 3 added support to more formats, but on Studio we extend this to the maximum level. The reworked code-base is powerful, scalable, extensible and very stable. Everything is ready for big new features like BGs editor on M.U.G.E.N's module and OpenBoR support. There's no limit for what we can do in this edition, and we have plans to extend almost all functions. Here you can download latest version and older ones as well (including all versions from 1.0 to 3.0), and some important public content in our Blog. All exclusive content will be posted in our Patreon page.
Change log:
Split on modules with support for multiple engines.
Project file explorer (will be essential for full game development).
OpenGL is mandatory, but a software rasterizer alternative is available too.
Updated to latest version of Qt framework.
Hybrid parser/syntax highlighter (smarter, faster and more reliable).
Multi-threaded (long tasks are split across all available CPU cores).
Import from another project can import from any supported engine too, and has collision resolution.
Backup function restore files by replacing them and reloading, instead of just loading the backup on memory without changes in the original files.
'Project -> Save' improved. Saves all modified files and call save as for those who lives on memory only as expected, on all projects of the same 'group'.
'Project -> Save as' improved. Saves all files of the current 'project group' to a new folder (copy them in its current state to a new folder). Eg.: open a character, make a copy of it on another folder to create a new one based on the first.
We can even make a full copy of a default engine installation to make a full game.
'Project -> Run in engine' improved. All bugs solved, faster than before, and on a full game 'project group' runs on the game itself.
Undo, redo, cut, copy, paste, find and replace available in all editors. You can even undo complex things like changes on sprites.
Zoom available on code editor too.
Built-in image editor inside sprites editor.
Import replace sprites with same group/number.
Ability to resize one or more sprites outside image editor (you can scale all sprites with hit box adjustment/scaling in one batch).
Default background is set based on localcoord.
Contact Box drawing always use the same type as current ones (default or not), or non-default if there's none.
Better support for frame interpolation, including timeline controls.
Onion Skin on animations changed from sprite to animation/frame.
Complete support for high DPI displays.
Palette generation and 'Adapt image to palette' with better support for alpha channel (can produce anti-aliased 8bit sprites).
Animated GIF generation works even with non-8bit sprites (adapts to 8bit).
Better interface preset system (adjusts to available space and scales nicely).
Drag and drop support on the Organizer.
Sound file viewer on sounds editor (basic editing functionality will be added over time).
Added fold all/unfold all for code editors.
Improved 'Export to HTML function' (tries to detect AI commands to uncheck them).
M.U.G.E.N.
Parser groups allowed code by file type.
Added A1 transparency shortcut in Animations editor.
Added full support for frame interpolation.
Improved offset viewer and throw creator.
Fixed PCX decoding (solves some issues on portraits in SFF v1).
Changes in 3.5.3
See our post on Patreon or Blog.

I'm liking it so far, though a few things caught my attention:
It consistently crashes when selecting an item in the left panel and then navigating to another file, tab, or character.
Compared to FF3, navigating through the sound file is slower, likely because it has to render the waveform. If it's not possible to speed this up, would it be possible to implement a way to turn it off?
Regarding this dropdown box: (https://i.imgur.com/R95IlSC.png) It seems redundant to have the insert button next to it when selecting an option from the dropdown menu automatically inserts it anyway, though it probably shouldn't do that.
Was there any particular reason for the changes to how green/yellow hitboxes are displayed in the animations editor? They kinda look like the in-game hitboxes when a NotHitBy is active. Admittedly this one is more of a nitpick and something I can get used to, but I'm still curious.

Thank you so much VirtuallTek i will test if now with the new Fighter Factory Studio will be more easy to convert chars to filtered sprites, popularly known as HI-RES, and after i test i will let my opinion here. And who could support the program in https://www.patreon.com/virtualltek

Downloaded it and tested it a bit, I'm liking it so far, but there are few problems with it:
As PlasmoidThunder said, it consistently crashes when you click on anything on the left panel of text files and then navigating to another file (yep, it also crashes on the def, not only on states).
It appears to have a min height (which is different for each theme) that is too much for smaller monitors, even though I have a 1080p monitor, I mainly use FF on my laptop's monitor, which is 1366x768, that makes it hard to access the bottom lines of text files and to use some of the buttons on the .air editor. On the .air editor, this problem is temporarily solved the moment you maximize the window, but if you navigate to another file, it comes back.
It failed to copy all of my character's file to the temporary ffs_0 folder. The files it failed to copy were the ones defined as "cns" and "stcommon".

Post by: TheFclass97 on April 04, 2018, 03:53:11 pm
For some reason, I can't open certain character def files at all. I can open a KFM just fine, but not a character I'm working on.
Edit: Found out why... Its due to the naming of the file. The char I was trying to open had a def file named "C.Viper_REV.def" and it would only open when I got rid of the period between C and Viper. I feel so stupid lel, though that wasn't ever an issue in ff3.
Oh, and I got the same issue that Thunderbert has with the ffs_0 folder.

Thanks people. Bugs are likely to happen, so I'm collecting them and I'll update soon. As now we have 3 versions I can't fix bugs one by one as I need to recompile in 3 platforms and upload. I'm in the middle of a change but I do not have enough time to finish it, and I'm sick. But don't worry, all bugs will get fixed.
About the resolution issue, the only way to solve it now is to drag the top toolbar to the left or right to give more room. As I promised to release today, I did'n get enough time to finish all details, so I focused on functionality at first.
Thanks!

Another thing, and it's something that I had an issue with in FF3 and (I think) forgot to mention in the project thread is that there are three buttons in the sound editor that have no icons associated with them (or at least, they don't when using the Ultimate skin), so I imagine quite a few people don't realise they're there.

Added a quick fix to some bugs people reported here. Thanks to everyone reporting issues!

My bad. The Ultimate and Classic iconsets are designed to be used only with Ultimate and Classic presets, respectively. They don't have all icons needed by the Neo preset. I'll fix this in the next minor release. Thanks!
About the other bugs: 1) Palettes -> clear [crash]: can't reproduce. 2) Missing files on ffs_0 folder. Someone can send me a char that has this issue? 3) Don't fit on 768p resolution: I'll finish the scrollbar implementation to solve this.
About the new color on AIR, it's just some sort of revamp, not big deal.
Thanks!

Hello Virtual Tek The sprites import function is not working. Export is ok. But when I try import the sprites simply do not load in the Sff file. Take a look.
Another thing I also noticed is that when you try to add sprites in PNG format (to an empty sff file), the program gives error and crash. Looking at these 2 problems I think the problem is related to PNG extension (not the issue of importing itself)
-
Olá Virtual Tek A função de importar os sprites não está funcionando. Exportar está ok. Mas na hora de importar os sprites simplesmente não carregam no arquivo Sff. Dá uma olhada.
Outra coisa que também percebi é que quando você tenta adicionar sprites no formato PNG num arquivo sff vazio, o programa dá erro e fecha. Analisando por esses 2 problemas eu creio que o problema seja relacionado a extensão PNG (e não a questão de importar em si)

Haven't had any issues importing sprites with the windows version. I do have to wonder why it's giving me this as an error though: "You should not be naming this type of block"
example [State 2OS, Damage Var Delay Reset]
Why not?
Title: Re: Fighter Factory Studio + quick fix
Post by: Jesuszilla on April 04, 2018, 06:37:53 pm
My guess is a regex is expecting a number there, whereas in fact, this is also perfectly valid syntax:
Code:
[State a, b]
Also I noticed it highlights errors when I write “Heavy” as the HitDef type; most flags for hitdefs, it not all, only check for the first letter, so “Hamburger” is also, oddly enough, valid to MUGEN.
Title: Re: Fighter Factory Studio + quick fix
Post by: JustNoPoint on April 04, 2018, 06:43:36 pm
It's also saying this is an Invalid Block State
[State ]
Some copy pasta code in all HDBZ chars that works just fine.
And where is the button to toggle the right side window in animation and sprite viewer? So I can scroll through the sff and air and reorder them? I found it in Classic where it should but Classic skin doesn't have all the new features.

Post by: Felkazz on April 04, 2018, 06:48:56 pm
The quickfix works nicely! About the 768p problem, I don't think it is a scrollbar problem, it looks more like a boundary problem... I recorded a quick video showing it
Spoiler: Video(click to see content)
Edit: Just found another bug. If you close all of the cns files, FFS crashes.

Post by: Afterthought on April 04, 2018, 07:15:31 pm
I have some issues to report as well.
First one, apparently trying to run tests with characters causes an error; constant files don't get read. I'm not sure if this is a naming issue with the constant files themselves, if they should be renamed to match the character, etc.; point being, this was not an issue in FF3. I'm using ZVitor's Bastion as an example.

Second, trying to create backups upon opening a new project causes FFS to crash. I had enabled it in order to better protect my own WIPs, and I think it's an imperative function to have.

Im geting that crash too when i open multiple sff files of no particular type.
Also, there are some weird transparency issues going on with certain sprites here and there in a few stages.
and thirdly, (this may be deliberate and not a bug IDK) when i double click an sff file to make it open in ff studio, it doesnt auto open in the appliation like they do in ff3, even though i removed ff3 and made ffx the default app - it just prompts me to ppen a project and makes me go and find the corresponding .def file instead which is a pain in the inner rectal gland area.
other than that it looks cool, feels cool, and look forward to the fixes XD

Another thing I noticed that is inconvenient. For importing from another project you get 2 options. Replace sprites and skip sprites. There is no add as duplicate numbers option. So when I went to import some fx from another WIP and they shared some group numbers I had no way to import without changing them in the source sff

Mind posting that go.microsoft.com link that’s in that box? I’m on mobile and it’s hard to type, want to see if I can help you out.
Also, I have a theory as to why some users are having issues launching MUGEN: I noticed in the previous screenshot that folder names have forward slashes. However, Windows uses backslashes, and I had no problems launching it on Linux, which uses forward slashes, so I suspect it’s a path join problem.

I found a bug with Fighter Factory Studio. The "Run the current project in engine..." function isn't working as it's keeps not detecting the cns file of any character I load up. Example:
Fighter Factory 3 doesn't have this issue and runs it fine. The cns file is spelled correctly and it's in the character's files. This makes it difficult for me to play test a character without having to run the engine itself. Do you know what's causing this?

When I open my character in FF3, it shows the green checkmark for No Errors Found
When I open my character in FFX, it shows a red X and 13 errors.
2 things: 1. Double clicking an error to jump to it only works if the relevant .CNS tab is currently active. IF possible, it would be great if FFX could also jump to the correct .CNS tab :) I do see that it shows the tab # next to the error, which does help though.
2. Reviewing the reported errors against the MUGEN documentation, some of the errors are valid, and some are not.
Spoiler: Not Actually Errors(click to see content)
(Well, using -1 does prevent a sound from playing, and MUGEN does not report an error in debug *shrugs*)
Oddly, when I fixed the error pertaining to PosFreeze (changing 'y = 0' to 'value = 0'), a number of other errors suddenly appeared which seemed bugged. When I saved and re-opened my project, they disappeared.
I am also experiencing the same error reported by SolidZone

The files do work, I've tested them in mugen. But for some reason they don't work when loading through FFX.
Also, I wanted to ask, can I set the game to load in Simul? that would be really helpful.

(https://i.imgur.com/yT6rDCT.png)
It worked on the first char i tested but when i tried another one i error, no matter how many times i try. The char works 100% fine in the actual game but not when run via FFS.

I actually had a rare glitch of characters not running back in Fighter Factory 3 and I found out it was caused by how the .def was ordered. This bug in the new Fighter Factory might also have to do with .def ordering.

A bit more about the ffs_0 folder problem. On the character I'm testing, it only copies the last cns in the [Files]... So, it doesn't matter how I order the files, only the last cns will be copied to the temporary ffs_0 folder.

Fixed all bugs people reported here.
All bugs related to sprites and palettes comes from the same bug, so I fixed one and all other issues are gone. I'm finishing the fix and will release a patch soon. In the end of the week I will release the full version 3.5.1, with all bug fixes and more adjustments.
Also I noticed it highlights errors when I write “Heavy” as the HitDef type; most flags for hitdefs, it not all, only check for the first letter, so “Hamburger” is also, oddly enough, valid to MUGEN.
FFS will highlight as error everything that's not listed on Mugen docs. If Elecbyte cames back and fix their parser, all "Hamburguer chars" will not work. We know this never will happen, but you got the idea.

Also, did I miss the button that toggles the right side window options? The one that changes things so we can sort and scroll through sff, air, and snd files? I couldn't find the button on the Neo default template. I had to go to Classic. But Classic hides a ton of other features.

OK, I will add this option in the version 3.5.1.
About the organizer, on Neo it's on the editor's toolbar. It's the blue icon with two arrows pointing to opposite directions, or under View Menu -> Organizer.
I will change Qt version to 5.6 on Windows x86 in the next version, so XP support will be back.
UPDATE: BIG FIX added on first post, it solves almost all bugs.
Thanks!

Another problem I saw here was with adding sprites automatically (through the file name itself) The option works normally when only 1 sprite is added. So if you load a file with the name "5.1" it will put the sprite in group 5 and in index 1 (as it should be) But when you add more than one sprite at a time the program simply put all the sprites in the same group. I believe the correct would be to detect file by file. If you add the following files "1.0", "20.1", "50.2" at one time, it would add all I their respective groups and index or I'am wrong?
-
Outro problema que vi aqui foi com relação a adicionar sprites de modo automático (através do próprio nome do arquivo) A opção funciona normalmente quando é adicionado apenas 1 sprite. Então se você carregar um arquivo com o nome de "5,1" ele vai colocar o sprite no grupo 5 e no index 1 (como deve ser) Mas quando você adiciona mais de um sprite de uma só vez o programa simplesmente joga todos os sprites no mesmo grupo. Creio que o correto seria ele detectar arquivo por arquivo. Se você adicionar os seguintes arquivos "1,0","20,1", "50,2" de uma vez só, ele adicionaria todos eu seus respectivos grupos e index. Ou estou errado?
obs: Não baixei o update ainda. Talvez já tenha sido corrigido. Vou testar agora.

I can't export/save images from the thumbnails tab on the Animations Screen, independent of extension. It works fine when i export from the Sprites Screen.
I'm new to FF, i just liked the feature in FF3 to get animations into external programs.

Thanks for the fix regarding the "Run the current project in engine...". Now I can test characters before putting them in my roster. However, I've been encountering a crashing issue with the program. If you have 3 characters open, try to close 2 character tabs while in sprites, states, command, or sound and then view the animation of the 3rd character, the program will stop working and crash.

The new fix seems to be working great! ^^ From the problems I related here, I think the only one left is the resolution problem. I'll keep testing it when I get back home (so I can use my 1080p monitor xD) Great work so far, VirtuallTek o/

Another problem I saw here was with adding sprites automatically (through the file name itself) The option works normally when only 1 sprite is added. So if you load a file with the name "5.1" it will put the sprite in group 5 and in index 1 (as it should be) But when you add more than one sprite at a time the program simply put all the sprites in the same group. I believe the correct would be to detect file by file. If you add the following files "1.0", "20.1", "50.2" at one time, it would add all I their respective groups and index or I'am wrong?
I can't export/save images from the thumbnails tab on the Animations Screen, independent of extension. It works fine when i export from the Sprites Screen.
Thanks for the fix regarding the "Run the current project in engine...". Now I can test characters before putting them in my roster. However, I've been encountering a crashing issue with the program. If you have 3 characters open, try to close 2 character tabs while in sprites, states, command, or sound and then view the animation of the 3rd character, the program will stop working and crash. Losing any work or edits if you haven't saved. I did this by accident the first time and I intentionally replicated it using the same method 10 times. I hope version 3.5.1 will fix this bug.

Yes, this will require scroll support on the left panel, so window dimensions will not be pushed outside screen boundaries.
Another thing, someone said about opening single file on FFS as argument. This is not supported yet, neither file association.

it's not a big deal but when i am using ff3 i am used to clicking on the numbers in the organizer and it would take me straight to the sprite, animation, or sound but i can't do that it was easier then scrolling through the scroll bar to the left it would be cool if you added that in thank you :)
it works when i add a code in states where i code.
when ever i finish a character and i press the x button next to the characters name the whole fighter factory crashes and close out

Having a SelfState in the .cmd causes Studio to think "value" isn't a valid parameter for the controller. Studio also doesn't recognise "velocity" as a valid parameter for Explods, despite Kung Fu Man's wood block using it perfectly fine.

Here's my backup:
windows 64 bits:
- cannot save an edit project - if adding a rgb image without transparency, it cuts to half the image and put a black block instead. - it crash after trying to "save as" the sff file
- in the palette edit screen, if open a rgb image without transparency doesn't generate that image palette anymore - don't have the palette organizer :(

Just tested the new fixes. I think the crashing is delayed, but I still occasionally get them from time to time. Now it crashes when closing 4 character tabs while in sprites, states, command, or sound and then trying to view the animations of the 5th character. If it doesn't that time, then onwards. I should also mention if you are already on animations instead when closing character tabs and then switch to states, the program will crash that way too. I have so many crash logs on my computer and I don't understand why the program keeps doing this. Right now in my opinion, the program is great for testing finished characters but not so much for making/editing them in it.

Sound navigation seems even slower, as you have to wait for the waveform to load before the correct sound plays, which can take a second or two. Playing a sound before the waveform has loaded plays the previously loaded sound before getting cut off by the currently loaded sound.

Wow, the new tools and improvements look really awesome.
But I got a serious problem while testing a project of mine: sometimes when opening a stage, I eventually closed FFS and opened it up again, and then noticed my original stage files were deleted. For sure this happened a couple of times, as I had been recovering the stage using a backup folder. Not sure if the crashes regarding the sprite editor are also related to that; Edit: maybe it's related to a engine directory bug? I just noticed there are new copies of the stage .sff file in the folders listed for the "Run the project in engine..." function. Still, the original files were completely gone;
Nonetheless, thank you guys for the updates. This looks promising! :2thumbsup:

Fixed all possible cases that can lead to all crashes you're having after closing tabs and switching to another editor. Thanks! EDIT: I successfully reproduced everything you said, and fixed all issues.

This was made to avoid user mistakes, as two sprites with same group/index are useless as they can't be referenced, and corrupted ones can crash Mugen. To see the error click at the red icon on status bar. In the window that opens, double click the error/warning, FF will go to the affected sprite and you can fix the problem.
Sound navigation seems even slower, as you have to wait for the waveform to load before the correct sound plays, which can take a second or two. Playing a sound before the waveform has loaded plays the previously loaded sound before getting cut off by the currently loaded sound.
Hell yeah. I optimized the wave code, so it will be a lot faster in the next version.

Hi VirtuallTek congratulations for the new program, i'm doing tests to convert chars to HI-RES and i see that is missing some important things to convert chars to HI-RES if you add this in the Fighter Factory Studio will let the entire process much more fast see:
1-The option of change the Canvas size of many groups of sprites at the same time ( like you do with the command 'Resize' ) and the option of choose only the groups of sprites that i want change the ''Canvas'' and in the command ''Resize'' too.
2-When possible please add the filter 'XBR 4x' and 'XBRz 4x' in command ''Resize'', this 2 filters is free and is the best that i found until now in the program called 'ImageResizer-r133.exe' for mugen chars. link of program 'ImageResizer-r133.exe' to you use this two filters in Fighter Factory Studio: http://www.mediafire.com/file/m9ve32gxxsx27rs/
3-And in the 'Image editor' is missing the options of: 'File/open from/Current group' NEED TO ADD THIS OPTION WILL BE VERY USEFUL 'File/open from/All groups' NEED TO ADD THIS OPTION WILL BE VERY USEFUL ''File/open from/Select groups' 'File/Save' 'File/Save as/Layers as sprites' 'File/Image/Properties' NEED TO ADD THIS OPTION WILL BE VERY USEFUL 'File/Image/Properties/All groups' NEED TO ADD THIS OPTION WILL BE VERY USEFUL 'File/Image/Properties/Select groups' And when possible leave the other options of the 'Image editor' just as before in Fighter factory 3.
4-And this is not really necessary but if was easy and possible add the command of program 'Doubls_Clsn_Size' link: http://www.mediafire.com/file/qkjbt5ndg1f62bx/ Because when we convert char to HI-RES we need convert the file '.air' of char 2x times in this program, and if this option be avaible in the program will be cool, but do this only if was easy because this part is not really necessary and is easy to do, if this option was not in the fighter factory studio ok.
And offcurse who could support / encourage he in: https://www.patreon.com/virtualltek because he deserve the best for bring and share to us this amazing engine.
AND VirtuallTek IF YOU MAKE THIS GENTILE FOR ME AND THE FANS OF MUGEN, AND THE COMMANDS AND OPTIONS WORK, SEND ME A PRIVATE MESSAGE WITH YOUR ACCOUNT NUMBER OF BRAZIL TO I DEPOSIT / TRANSFER A VALUE AND GIVE YOU SUPPORT / ENCOURAGE FOR YOUR GENTILE.

DPI scaling on Linux seems to have no effect. I tried 0.5 all the way up to 10 and I saw no differences.
Sound preview cuts off for some sounds in Linux (sound 2,1 in cvsfelicia I sent you is a good example) and it's slower than last time. If you need me to record a video, let me know.

I need to know exactly what you do in the "menus" to make it crash.

Do you restarted FF after changing DPI scaling? It only takes effect on fresh launch. It changes the environment variable we talked in private just like export does, so should work. For me it works, but I will double check this.
I optimized the wave viewer (in future versions will be an editor), it's a lot faster on 3.5.1. About sound cut, I will check. It cuts off in all sounds on macOS, for sure is a Qt bug, so likely I will need to replace Qt sound output by some other one that works.
Thanks!

Can confirm the sound player is better at least on Linux! There's still the odd DPI issue, though. Syntax highlighter no longer picks up "Heavy" as an issue for AnimType, however it still shows in the error list.
BindToTarget says it expects 3 parameters, but got 2; however it does have a default for the 3rd parameter which is Foot IIRC.
For SuperPause, it says it expects 2 parameters for sound, however this is completely valid:

I might know what that is, and it's not a pretty solution for VirtuallTek: you need to sign your code.
I say it's not pretty because the only way to do that is to buy what's called a code-signing certificate. The cheapest I know of is from DigiCert. The reason I know this is because we had to get around that Smartscreen crap for Windows 8 at work and that was how we managed to solve that for our customer, because Smartscreen and Norton go apeshit if your code isn't signed.
If you want, I can donate the cost to you because it's important to have as a Windows dev these days. Yes, it's total bullshit, I agree, but... we have to do it.
EDIT: Could try this, too https://www.globalsign.com/en/code-signing-certificate/code-signing-tool/

OK, I will check these errors. About the State inside StateDef, you're hacking the buggy Mugen parser. As I said before, Elecbyte will not fix their mess, but people can, still, write code that is guaranteed to work in any situation following the docs. EDIT: On Studio is a matter of standard, right code, not valid code exploiting bugs. If we want to mimic Mugen bugs, I'll disable all syntax checks :D

Hey, VirtualTek, thanks a lot for the new FF. I really like it so far. But something that would be very useful is to be able to open a sff, or snd, air, etc without creating a new project. I do Color separations and work with just the sff, so it's really annoying to be forced to open a new project just to open the sff, and then being forced to save every file every time I save the sff.

i've a question. if i add/modify a sprite and then save SFF, it says it find 50 errors and i've to fix them before save.
in the old FF3 this message's never appeared (in fact i'm still using ff3 right now).
since i have more than 2700 sprites to check, is there a way to know at least which sprites has "errors", so i can try to fix them?
thanks in advance. ;) ;)
This was made to avoid user mistakes, as two sprites with same group/index are useless as they can't be referenced, and corrupted ones can crash Mugen. To see the error click at the red icon on status bar. In the window that opens, double click the error/warning, FF will go to the affected sprite and you can fix the problem.
ok, i saw the red icon, here you are the message appeared:

Anything that starts with an H is valid. Hard, heavy, helicopter, hamburger, hodgepodge, hell, you name it, it's valid because all MUGEN looks for is the H.
I personally called it Heavy so [E] couldn't make any lewd jokes about my hitdefs. That was literally my thought process, and no, I am not making this up.
As for so many people having problems with your SFF's: Use the organizer, check for any duplicate indices. I can almost guarantee there was an oversight and you accidentally have a few duplicate indices somewhere (e.g. one sprite is 3000,0 and another sprite is also 3000,0).

Great job! Thanks for your hard work!
Just want to ask would you pls give us sample multi-language files? For example, Português language files. I want to translate it into my mother language. I tried to copy the FF3 Português language files to FFS. Unfortunately they just changes few popup pages.

I have a few problems with the SFF editor in particular at the moment
1: I don't like not being able to save due to not having my sprite standard placed out entirely. Could you make this an option so that it'll warn you about it instead of forcing you to do everything in one go? My computer has a real problem with crashing and I like to save often but now it's literally not possible to save before finishing the sprite standards.
2: At some point in my character, all the sprites just turn invisible. I can't do sprite standards like this, so I've been just trying to finish those in ff3. It seems more like it's happening closer to the end of my sprites and I have like 700-1000 sprites at the moment.
3: Any way to change the color selections for the sff back to the version for ff3 as an option? The current one keeps selecting my ground color and assigns it to another color while this doesn't have this effect in ff3.
Otherwise, God i love this new editor. The Cns things with state bases and command lines built in is something I've wanted in the Factory for a long time. The new animation editor looks great too. I love the new scrubber and new hit/hurtboxes. This is amazing so far! Good job!

FIGHTER FACTORY STUDIO HOW TO FIX THE ERROR: "Found 1 error(s). You can't save it without fixing all issues." or "Found 65 error(s). You can't save it without fixing all issues." etc.
1- You have to change the version of sff by clicking on the bottom of the program and changing to ''M.U.G.E.N 1.1'' where it is written this: ''Version: 1.0 1.0'' and in the final try ''save file (current editor)'' or ''save as a new file (current editor). (https://i.imgur.com/FXn4QEl.jpg)
2- Even though converting char to 1.1 as shown in the image, the error continues and the program continues to show the message: "Found 1 error(s). You can't save it without fixing all issues.", then you have to do the following: Go to the upper left of the program and click on " Project "and then" Save as ... "and save it over the .def of your char. then whenever they have this error: "Found 1 error(s). You can't save it without fixing all issues.", go to "Project" and then "Save as ..." and save over the .def of your char. I will leave the char link http://www.mediafire.com/file/q43b7wujxg6xbeb/ for anyone who wants to test and see how to solve this famous problem of the new version of Fighter Factory Studio, which in my opinion had only to show that it has a error in the char but ask if you will want to save anyway.
3- AND TO LEAVE THE WAY TO SAVE THE PROJECT FASTER AND EASY. Go to 'Options' and '' Interface '' AND CHANGE THE COMMAND '' ctrl + s '' to the '' Save all files of the project as a new ... '' and then click '' Apply '' and save the settings with whatever name you want.

NP, I agree this is a little confusing for those used to the old way.
Also @OldGamer: you could create a new template by basing it on the Winane AI template but changing the template files to be blank. I might actually try this when I get home.

Apparently you do not know about this tool, it leaves everything perfect, it gives you cell size and transparency, very much you do not know how to use it, besides I do not like characters full of large pictures anymore, and in other words what What I want is perfection, if you want to do it the old way, it's not my problem, but a program is done to make the user realize his characters faster and in a more perfect way with the tool he provides, if you have enough time Go ahead, and if you do not complain, although they can attach it to many who ask for it and if you do not like it well do not use it and it is ready but for many it is not useful, I believe that it does not take anything away or harm you so in the end I do not ask you if not the same virtual tek, anyway I leave what you can do with this perfect tool, thanks virtual tek ....
commonly as the characters come (https://i.imgur.com/FzJIAjR.png)
and what you can do with that great and magnificent tool, you can do it so perfect so there are no gaps ,... to have it so it is unconventional and worked as if one was worth the boxes for that is that you see many gaps in character trapeze and for me that is wrong, I want everyone to be legal and without cheating broken boxes .. .

You ever played Fighting games before. Ever taken the moment to look for hitboxes in them? They're nowhere near how they look in auto CLSN. Don't be lazy.
Title: Re: Fighter Factory Studio 3.5.1 (UPDATED April, 07)
Post by: Jesuszilla on April 15, 2018, 10:44:14 pm
That tutorial is old but a lot of its criticisms still apply. The only thing that doesn't is "infinite priority" since that's antiquated BS based on the concept that all CLSN1 should be covered by CLSN2 and use the MUGEN priority system to define priority, which is simply incorrect. All fighting game hitboxes primarily use the hitboxes to determine which attacks should out-prioritize others, with rare exceptions such as SF3 where some hitboxes (which are specially denoted) use a priority system when they come in contact with another of the same type.
This thread, however, is for Fighter Factory feedback, so I won't go into more detail and simply say this: we've had this discussion many times, and VirtuallTek has stated he's not bringing it back because:
1. It's tricky to implement; there is no perfect method as you think there is. 2. It was bad in the first place because it is bad design.

I wont go in on hitboxes, we all know I have my own idea about how Mugen's hitboxes should be set up. But I will say, the auto-hitboxes would be a blessing if you could control How Many hitboxes are used. If you could define it as 2, 3, 4, or 5, It'd make editing those boxes soooo much faster. You'd only have to pull one or two corners a frame. One of the main reasons I stopped work on Roberto from Rival Schools is how many thousands of hitboxes I was making. On average I use 4 hitboxes per sprite. He's got 2,287 sprites for his body alone. 8,000 hitboxes takes a little while to drag into position. Even at 1 hitbox a second it's over 2 solid hours of drawing hitboxes. and I still have work on Akira and Hyo......
The 20 hitboxes used in that one frame is excessive. You could use 6 or 7 and cover it just as tight. Which most devs would only use 2 or 3. To me, that's antiquated laziness.

So I happen to found another crashing issue by accident. I was just trying to test a character, I clicked OK too quickly without picking an engine to run and the program decided to crash. This only happens if you have multiple engines installed as FFS asks you which one you want to use to test the character. I happened to have 2 so it crashed when I accidentally picked nothing. I manage to replicate this a few times. Although it's a rare bug and you will unlikely encounter it if you only have one engine, thought I might report it.

Anyway, I think that people like you are not interested in stagnating us, follow their obsolete methods that only bring problems of transparency and advantages in many characters as it takes a lot of time and that is a mediocre job when it comes to properly carry the boxes correct collision, in short this is mugen and will make my game with my own collision boxes to not have advantages of transparency of the characters as they have their obsolete method, continue using the classic name to do it and your time to waste it so do it, do not know the concept of a program or what it is for, keep using the mcm in my opinion, do not know what updates, if it is a program to avoid work or in a more effective way with the tools it gives us the user the comonidad and the time in which it does, also if you do not like you do not like anything of what there, for people who use it, but in order that we do ...

Post by: David11 on April 16, 2018, 05:03:56 pm
I just think that people care a bit too much about hitboxes and the amount of them. Of course you shouldn't use more than 4 or 5 per sprite... but, just for science:
(https://i.imgur.com/oFOzcsr.png)
I summoned 30k projectiles in the same tick (with empty animations, just the collision box itself), mugen was surprisely stable. it didn't crash or anything, didn't make my cpu go crazy or anything of that sort. then I looked at the cpu usage and discovered that mugen uses just 1 core at a time (at least I didn't knew that lol). Also, not all of those hitboxes registed hit in the same tick (see the 54 hits as there's at least 1000 of them on top of the other player).
The thing is, the automation that the hitbox tools provides while is good for some people is the worst thing ever for those who understand why it's bad, and why you should use it.
The more collison the less FPS you get.
Remember thar each collision box has 4 coordinates, and they are calculated every tick and while more boxes makes it for more precise hits, it also puts unecessary stress on the engine. I can see why VirtuallTek removed and I kind of aprove that.
And, if I had a single core while doing that test, i'm sure my pc would stop responding because of all the thousands of calculations and if by any chance Mugen did use all the available cores, + more ram/vram, then that would crash even modern computers. (provided you mess with mugen.cfg values and make it possible to summon that many projectiles).
Also if that didn't convince you, take a look at old arcade games Collisions boxes. Newer games of course have better optimized engines, so they can have precise hitboxes.
Long story short: Just don't.

Post by: VirtuallTek on April 16, 2018, 07:16:29 pm
Thanks for all bug reports.
I'm solving them all. In the next version I will introduce some things people requested, as empty project, open single file, and option to disable the lock to save SFF if it has errors. But disabling this is very dangerous. This was made to prevent user mistakes, as some are critical like trying to save SFF v1 with 24/32bit images or wrong sprite order (in SFF v1, wrong ordering will change the sprite's palette). These are real errors and saving SFF without fixing them will lead to data loss (you can't simply fix it later). Don't ask me after!
EDIT: I'll' add an option in the error window to let FF fix them by sorting sprites and converting 24/32bit images to 8bits, warning about possible data loss, and change the error about same group/index to warning. This way people can save the SFF more safetly with less error messages, but still, with some data loss.

I swear FF3 did this already...? Seems odd that Studio doesn't.
Because this way, people doesn't know they're making mistakes and if something went wrong, it's FF fault and start reporting them as bugs.

@David11: It seems your player 2 died. Is the projectile doing less than 19 damage? Try testing with the damage set to 1,0 and try blocking it. You basically said that anyone running mugen 1.0+ wont feel the effects of 30,000 projectiles and 30,000 hitboxes. I doubt 20, 30, or even a whopping 35 collision boxes per tic could influence the game. I still dont get why people act like it's 1999 and PCs can't handle more.
@Darkflare: I hope you're not taking potshots at me. 2,200 sprites is 3 characters worth of hitboxes. That's just the sprites. Not multiple animations per special or anything else.
For the people who argue against this, What if VirtuallTek figured out a way of putting a hitbox on the head and 1 for the body. Would you be anti-automation then?

@Odb, that's kind of what and I said but not really, mugen won't crash trying to renders those frames but it will take a while for it to process all the info, but eventually it will get there. it might take years for it to happen tho. I won't sit here to what this happen. I was impressed while stress-testing Mugen, it is like an old car that refuses to die or break lol
And no, the player didn't die because of the noko flag. Testing with a computer with integrated graphics I got stabble framerates up to a 1000 different projectiles/collisions per tick (the mugen freezes for a second in the tick that they're summoned tho, but then it resumes after it like nothing has ever happened). More than that you just increase the time of the lag spike. imagine 30k of them.
Now back to the subject.
There are some syntax problems with the new ff version. The same happened with the 3rd FF version. XAngle, YAngle, etc.. are not recognized as explod arguments, even tho they were implemented in mugen 1.1
FF3 with fixed syntax: (https://i.imgur.com/Yn7SBGz.png)
FF Studio: (https://i.imgur.com/KbBN8XM.png)
Its not a priority, but that just makes my OCD kick in.
Using nulls as a mean to set Vars now looks 10x uglier hence the fact that they have a different kind of color with non bold fonts: (https://i.imgur.com/UIXFo6a.png) It kind of makes sense and it kind of doesn't. People that arent familiar with Null will just assume that the code won't work, since it looks like it's disabled or something.
Interpolated animations do not animate. FF3 did it in it's quircky way but at least it was something. But FF Studio just don't animate the interpolation between frames. (I've just tested with 8bit Png images).
The rest was already mentioned in this thread. There's a really RARE bug that I found with the interface that I wasn't able to replicate, but the menus on the top of the program ("Project, Edit, View, Definitions...") stoped working for some stupid reason. it happened right after I had tested a char and closed down mugen.
That's about it. Great job so far I really like some aspects of FF Studio, it's a step forward for sure.

@Darkflare: I hope you're not taking potshots at me. 2,200 sprites is 3 characters worth of hitboxes. That's just the sprites. Not multiple animations per special or anything else.
I wasn't, but now I am.

I will check this. About syntax, again, Studio is based entirely on Mugen docs, and only stuff from there will be highlighted as right code. If FF3 accepts your code not means it's fully Mugen "standard" compliant. Exploiting Mugen parser bugs is not an option on this version. Thanks for reporting.
But I will say, the auto-hitboxes would be a blessing if you could control How Many hitboxes are used. If you could define it as 2, 3, 4, or 5, It'd make editing those boxes soooo much faster. You'd only have to pull one or two corners a frame.
Absolutely agreed. I hope they include this option.

As I said before, is unlikely that Elecbyte comes back and fix the parser (even KFM exploit undocumented behavior), but there's one thing every coder must keep in mind: exploiting parser bugs and/or undocumented things isn't good practice. If bugs get solved or undocumented stuff changes, your code won't work anymore. The biggest changes from FF3 are stuff like Heavy, Med, ..., are gone. Even FF3 don't like Hamburger and things like this, and everything else Jesuszilla pointed out. That's not too much change from version 3.0.1 (of course, I missed some stuff people reported here and I'm adding that to the syntax database). Replicating Mugen bugs will be more work than replicating FF3, as it accepts lots of "grammar errors". You can see the changes from FF3 to FFS looking at syntax.xml inside engines/mugen folder. FF3 was a great improvement but it fails on reporting errors with the precision level FFS aims to reach (there's, still, things I need to implement and/or fix). It's unbelievable why people want to write, technically, grammatically incorrect code instead of good code that is fully guaranteed to work in every possible way. Another thing to note, people seems to be scarry of their own mistakes, they don't like the program pointing out things they should fix. If you're editing SFF 1.0.1 or 2.0.0, why you want to save it after inserting 24/32bit sprites. If you do something wrong, it's best to KNOW WHY, so you won't repeat the same mistake again, than expecting the program to fix it some way, that probably, solves the problem (by brute force) but isn't the best solution. The next version will be less intrusive, so warnings that can be ignored and fixed later aren't treated as errors. This is happening in all Mugen forums. Some poeple said they will go back to FF3 because they don't want to fix their own mistakes in SFF and want a way to get rid of the error message. UNBELIEVABLE! Just fix your damn mistakes! :D
But I will say, the auto-hitboxes would be a blessing if you could control How Many hitboxes are used. If you could define it as 2, 3, 4, or 5, It'd make editing those boxes soooo much faster. You'd only have to pull one or two corners a frame.

I can tell you I don't want to go back and change Hamburger to H in 100s of lines of code. If you have a ton of chars that FF3 didn't say had errors and this one is now telling you you have all kinds of errors you can't expect ppl to want to go back and fix all them when doing so is merely to appease the FFS. Now on future chars there is less excuse. You can fix them as you code (unless you use templates you'd already made like I do) but even then the NEW code can be more accurate.
You shouldn't be forcing such strict coding guidelines on a hobby engine. Most of us that use this to code will NEVER code in anything else, Anyone that goes into real coding will find out very quickly how coding in bad syntax can bite them later on. This hobby app shouldn't be so strict! MUGEN was made for ppl that have all ranges of coding knowledge.

If the errors don't imply that you have to fix the char, or prevent you from testing it, I can't see this as a bad thing. If it has pop up errors that might get boring after 100 tests, but then again it's your fault for coding it wrong.
OR you could do it like me. Just edit the goddamn syntax files and other .xmls inside the FF folder. (at least I've added a couple of undocumented things to them for OCD reasons, 90% of my chars are 1.1 only, and sff problems are not a thing.)
Imo you should keep it, but make it less intrusive.

Code:

Because it allows me to do it! Nope, no problem with that at all, if it allows me to do it, it must be correct. It's totally not a code smell and I should ignore that warning it gives me so I can bang my head against a wall wondering why shit doesn't work down the road.

rofl yes it fucking should, the fact that it IS now means you're more prepared to code other things as a hobby as most people who do move on from mugen typically does. Not to mention game breaking things people have done over the years that make them unable to work in 1.0, the velset = 0,0,0 comes to mind for example.
I code web shit as a hobby so should I ignore proper syntax like line breaks because javascript doesn't enforce it? that's like saying "yeah man I drive as a hobby so i don't wear seat belts." Hobby or no, if you're going to do something you owe it yourself to do right my guy.

I just took a look in one of your chars and you do it too. So your "ROFL it fucking should" comes off pretty hypocritical. We've even taught ppl in MUGEN Class that you can use whatever you want for some of these things. Being strict in MUGEN syntax seems 20 years too late in my opinion. I don't care that it shows the errors. I simply gave an answer to the question that was asked. If I'd known I'd get so much crap for my answer I wouldn't have said anything. Even VirtualTek acted like my answer was worthless so I won't waste anymore time giving answers. We can all continue to use incorrect syntaxes and ignore the errors or we can fix said errors. In the end it's not a big deal.

That has absolutely nothing to do with my statement. Whether an IDE corrects bad practices has nothing to do with someone's previous code. I said it should because it should regardless of whatever I've done in the past. And as far as my older work goes, I've made 118 things throughout 12 years which a good chunk of I've stopped updating so yeah probably will find some mistakes there. However, my attitude towards it is that it's unacceptable NOW because I happen to code for a living and my current work is radically different. There were things in winmugen that you could get away with that crashes in 1.0/1.1 and that is the issue. If syntax was upheld in IDE's of the past that would not be a problem.
edit: the last thing I released only has syntax errors because ff3 isn't aware it's a thing that's completely fine to do otherwise it has 0. EG "Scond(x,t,f)" being allowed

Without the snark you make good responses. Responses I agree with. I never said it was "wrong" to uphold syntax. All I did was give a reason why some ppl may not want to do it. There was no need for the sarcasm and putting me in my place. And had this been a thing when you started creating years back you would have followed the syntax better and removed all errors. You guys are acting like I don't get it. I'm just saying that this is going against a 20 year precedence that even you had set in motion. That is a REASON why some may not want to change now. It doesn't have to be a reason you agree with but you can disagree in better fashion too.
Even though I said I wouldn't I'd already started cleaning up syntax issues. I can't help myself it's how I am. But just like with autoclsn maker ppl shouldn't react in snarky manners.

EDIT: After many tests i think i found the solution, but i hope that in the next versions we don't let to do this all the times VirtuallTek, because this take time:
vegeta when i select the group 2,0 the image stays like this [bad result] (https://s18.postimg.cc/4eejo8em1/vegeta_when_i_select_the_group_2_0_the_image_came_this_way_bad.png) (https://postimg.cc/image/afc8lb185/) my pc win 10 pro using FFS 'add one or more sprites' select the group of images converted in XBR 4x in this case is the group 0,0 'Detect group-index from filename' 'Force the specified palette (adapt the image)' select the group 2,0 click in 'OK' and 'No to All' [bad result]
vegeta when i select the group 1,1 the image stays like this [more or less] (https://s18.postimg.cc/hvbi77z95/vegeta_when_i_select_the_group_1_1_the_image_came_this_way_more.png) (https://postimg.cc/image/667ij98ad/) my pc win 10 pro using FFS 'add one or more sprites' select the group of images converted in XBR 4x in this case is the group 0,0 'Detect group-index from filename' 'Force the specified palette (adapt the image)' select the group 1,1 click in 'OK' and 'No to All' [more or less]

SO I DISCOVER THAT THE SECRET IS DO THIS TESTS BEFORE ADD MANY GROUP OF IMAGES and do tests with only one group of images until you found a group number that let the images good without pink background around the head and body. AND ONLY AFTER THIS ADD MANY GROUPS OF IMAGES WITH THE CORRECT GROUP NUMBER OK.
Other example:

Thank you for answer VirtuallTek your new program is awesome and about pink pixels around the head and body i found the solution for this, you just have to do a test with one group of images and select the correct group number before add many images, here in this tutorial in the part of text and images you will see the solution http://mugenguild.com/forum/topics/mugen-char-hires-tutorial-using-ffs-alesrosramon-garcia-183533.0.html . . .

Hi everyone I like to give my feedback About the new Fighter Factory Studio there are many Mugen Stages and Screen Pack Creators out there that are so used to using the Fighter Factory 3.0.1 But the Problem is with the New Fighter Factory studio is that Dont give you that freedom any more..
Let me explain so you can Understand me better. Im OldGamer that create Mugen stages and Mugen Screen pack I dont know how to create mugen character. so you can Say Im a Mugen Theme Creator
Fighter Factory 3.0.1 have the freedom to create New empty Project and give the option to choose Tamplate or New Empty Project
Okay now as for me I love 3.0.1 Because give me the freedom to Choose New Empty Project and give you the freedom to choose Characters,Stages ,fonts, New type Font and Screen Board
Here a picture to show you what Im talking about (https://i.imgur.com/I510PAf.png)
for Fighter Factory Studio 3.5.1 WONT LET ME CHOOOSE... Factory Studio 3.5.1 wont give me the freedom to Choose New Empty Project Characters,Stages ,fonts, New type Font and Screen Board and ETC................ Fighter Factory Studio 3.5.1 forces me to choose Mugen AL tamplate when I try to create a New Project
Here a picture to show you what Im talking about (https://i.imgur.com/SXu6Kxb.png)
VirtuallTek I am a mugen Stage and screen pack creator. I like for you to over look my feedback and please Bring back the other setting from the Fighter Factory 3.0.1 over to the Fighter Factory Studio 3.5.1 that you forgot to add the Characters,Stages ,fonts, New type Font and Screen Board and ETC for the new Fighter Factory Studio 3.5.1

Now you have to fix the errors in SFF to be able to save it. I know some people doesn't likes it, but this should stay in FFS in my opinion. Because people will make mistakes and will blame the tool for their own errors.

I can see how it's annoying (it irritated me at first), but I'm quite inclined to agree with you, O Ilu. IMO it could be handled better by asking the user "Would you like to see the list of errors?" That would provide a much friendlier, more interactive experience, especially for long-time users who aren't used to this feature.
As developers, it's quite easy to forget (and difficult to determine) how an end user will react when we know exactly how to use the program.

Did you totally ignore my post that outright gave you a blank template @OldGamer:
"Don't give you freedom anymore" have you people totally ignored the extensibility of FF these past few years? There's so many features it has that go unutilized because you people don't RTFM.
look is cool you made a blank tamplate. but what about the setting in general ? how do we manage to make it blank like how u did it ? Plus PlasmoidThunder already explain it to me that VirtuallTek planning on adding those extra menu on the next update. so I just rather wait then, but thank for doing that and Im sorry but I must miss your post sorry. all we can do is wait am I right ?
I tell you in the post exactly where you must place it and how.
Your folder should look like this when you are done: (https://i.imgur.com/hokZjwO.png)
And when you click the new project icon, it should look like this now: (https://i.imgur.com/xdyFeAP.png)
thank you so mush for your kind words and I just went back to double check your last post and I got the Blank file and I am so sorry for the misunderstanding. and thank again for helping me out :) Jesuszilla. going to test it out now and I can now make stages, Intro , New Type Font and also make screen pack with your Blank file :D go it to work thank you again :) (https://i.imgur.com/ic8yWS2.png)

Unsure if this is a bug or I just suck but while trying to import sprites to another project and attempting to force a pal from said project onto it fails. It imports the sprites but does not force the palette on to them. I made to select the same options as I would in FF3

In regards to the not allowing people to save on errors in the sff.
I love it.
but to make it good for everyone, just add a ignore button so that people can SEE they have errors, and make it up to them if they wanna ignore it and save, or go fix it.

I was just about to comment about that ^
it is a little frustrating having that be a forced thing,
a lot of people download characters and simply swap portraits out i.e custom screenpacks.
a lot of users may not even know exactly how to fix that issue,
so IMO an option to at least turn it off would be nice if not adding the ignore button.

Hi guys, I'll not answer one by one this time, but I'm trying to address all issues in the next version, so it will take some time to finish everything. About sff, I already changed the save function so it complains only in the case of incompatible pixel formats and you can let FF fix them, all other errors are warnings now, so you can save without problems. The issues list was moved to a far better place, so you can check them and navigate easely. The syntax checking is being improved and a mass search & replace function will be available, so the polemic stuff can be fixed in a single click, but you can still ignore the errors and do what you want, not such drama. The empty project will be available and new capabilities are working right now as open single file, open from first argument (for command line or double-click). The new way it handle files in a project opens a lot of possibilities that will be explored further in the future. I'm fixing bugs too, of course. As FFS is portable, I'm keeping config files inside its folder, and an "import from another installation" function will be added to solve the reconfiguration steps on fresh install of a new build. There's some problems with unicode on file system that breaks some functions, so I'm addressing this too. About the pink pixels, the resizing algorithm is adding more colors than the source image. These are likely to introduce this "artifacts" when going back to 8bits, mainly if the palette you're using has some color close to the background one. In this case is better to convert back to 8bits using a clean palette, without any color similar to the background. Is not a problem on your system or the program, just a bad combination of resize algorithm and palette. Try making a clean palette (before resize) and converting the images to 8bits in the advanced palette editor (after resize).
Thanks and hope people can help on our end and support the development.

Thank you for answer VirtuallTek your new program is awesome and about pink pixels around the head and body i found the solution for this, you just have to do a test with one group of images and select the correct group number before add many images, here in this tutorial in the part of text and images you will see the solution http://mugenguild.com/forum/topics/mugen-char-hires-tutorial-using-ffs-alesrosramon-garcia-183533.0.html . . .

I'm not sure if this has been requested, but could you look into this?
You know that remap pen Fighter Factory 3 has? I use it to preform all my works related to the color separation, it can remap up to 5 different colors. Would it be possible to crank the amount up to 10 different slots? It would save a good portion of my time as I would then be able to finish a separation on the first run!
(Dude Mugen was another program but don't care about that, it was basically a suggestion to make colour separation easier and faster)

Version 3.5.2 is almost done, it's so better now. I already addressed all most requested features and fixed a lot of bugs. FFS is getting very stable, and a good base to start the big new features.
But, again, to make this grow and implement huge new features I need your support on Patreon, as this way I can put more effort (time) on it. After this version, I'll start to release private builds for our Patrons, so public releases are likely to be less frequent.
Thanks!

Try one more thing: there's a new setting in Options window called "Use system native open dialog", disable it. If the problem persists, will be helpful if you can provide some crash dump. I'll try to get a Windows 8.1 PC to test.

I found a new bug with the update. After quitting Fighter Factory Studio and reopening it again for later, the engines deleted themselves and will not save. Even if I save the settings in an ffc file and open it, the list will not appear and have to reconfigure it again. I know there won't be anymore public releases after this one, but can you please look at this? Because I can't play test characters like this if I have to keep adding an engine every time I open the program. This wasn't an issue with the 3.5.1 update, so I don't know how this happened.

So I just tested the patch and was about to report that FFS is still not remembering my current engines after quitting the program. But it turns out I forgot to click the "Apply" button and it will save the configurations. Not sure if I had to do that on the previous versions, but it works now.
However, the issue regarding the open and save buttons in the options still persists. The ffc files are useless because even if I save them, they will not load or will delete my current configurations if I attempt to. Just found that it's an issue since 3.5.1, but I barely use it since I rarely had to reinstall FFS so it slipped off my radar. As long as I don't click "Apply", it won't save after quitting and I don't have to reconfigure the engines again.

If you install a new version, use the Import button on welcome screen to grab your last installation configs, which includes history and all configs. The ffc just saves the main configs, not the engine specific ones. I'll change it later. Thanks!

I'm using the lastast build, I selected around 3000-5235+ lines and this happened again, maybe it's on my end? Edit: For exemple, on vans' Kyo I select the line 5408 up to line 10643 try to cut and ff freezes. If I try to select from the first line up to the end of the file I can cut and delete normally.

All the issues i had have been resolved...cept 1. Idk if this is intentional or just the way it renders stuff...but is it normal that stuff like Outer Glows, Transparent Images and other color/glow based effects on images, look kinda...pixely? Idk if thats the right word...they look off...like their not truly PNG/Transparent.
This wasn't an issue in FF3. It's not a huge issue, it's just realy jarring. When it showed up like that i got REALLY Scared i did something wrong so i was messing around in photoshop for like 30 minutes trying to figure out what i did wrong :(
Heres an example of what i mean, it's easier to see what i mean then me trying to explain it and sound like an idiot lmao

What does the character's MUGEN version say in the .def?
I've tried with both Mugenversion = 1.1 and Mugenversion = 1.0 I get the same error. It's related to my characters sharing a .cns file. I know this because if I delete the line "st4 = ../../Data/Mugen States.cns" on .Def (being that line the shared .cns), it works. However, I works anyway on Fighter factory 3.
Try to have two characters sharing a .cns file, I bet you will get the same error. I know nobody makes characters share .cns files but it is a really good way to make the build lighter, since all characters use a same group of sprites.

Because it is how I edit my mugen characters, it is easy for me to edit my characters since I work with hd characters and high resolution stages and I compare them with the low quality stage with which I believe, thus giving the same axes of the original so that I saved work and time, I would like to implement it if it is not right, likewise thanks for how it is done and how it was corrected is excellent ...

You're one of the first devs I've seen do that! Good on you for knowing to share data. I suspect FF just doesn't like relative paths in the .def for whatever reason.

I just wanna say i love this new version, it's incredible!
All the issues i had have been resolved...cept 1. Idk if this is intentional or just the way it renders stuff...but is it normal that stuff like Outer Glows, Transparent Images and other color/glow based effects on images, look kinda...pixely? Idk if thats the right word...they look off...like their not truly PNG/Transparent.
This wasn't an issue in FF3. It's not a huge issue, it's just realy jarring. When it showed up like that i got REALLY Scared i did something wrong so i was messing around in photoshop for like 30 minutes trying to figure out what i did wrong :(
Heres an example of what i mean, it's easier to see what i mean then me trying to explain it and sound like an idiot lmao
Note: Yes, Nine in both have SFF's at 1.1.
it is rare to lose the transparency the image in the Fighter Factory Studio

What's the reason do you want more than one instance?
Because it is how I edit my mugen characters, it is easy for me to edit my characters since I work with hd characters and high resolution stages and I compare them with the low quality stage with which I believe, thus giving the same axes of the original so that I saved work and time, I would like to implement it if it is not right, likewise thanks for how it is done and how it was corrected is excellent ...
What does the character's MUGEN version say in the .def?
I've tried with both Mugenversion = 1.1 and Mugenversion = 1.0 I get the same error. It's related to my characters sharing a .cns file. I know this because if I delete the line "st4 = ../../Data/Mugen States.cns" on .Def (being that line the shared .cns), it works. However, I works anyway on Fighter factory 3.
Try to have two characters sharing a .cns file, I bet you will get the same error. I know nobody makes characters share .cns files but it is a really good way to make the build lighter, since all characters use a same group of sprites.
You're one of the first devs I've seen do that! Good on you for knowing to share data. I suspect FF just doesn't like relative paths in the .def for whatever reason.
EDIT: Also, it's erroring out on sinadd's third parameter (sinadd parameters are R,G,B): (https://i.imgur.com/O7vjzIK.png)
EDIT2: For some reason, all keyboard shortcuts were cleared. I think this was done while importing settings on first boot. When I added back the code comment/uncomment shortcut and uncommented some code, this happened: (https://i.imgur.com/pdvLSer.png)
It's erroring out on sinadd's third parameter because it needs four: sinadd = ampl_r, ampl_g, ampl_b, period (int, int, int, int) About the comment/uncomment, I'll check this. Thanks!

You need to mix all three channels. You're adding the Blue channel to the Red and missing the Green one, so it turns purple.

- The inability to add an mugen engine with a name other than "mugen.exe" (for example, when using the screenpack selector by Sludge it is required that it be called "winmugen.exe"). This is not a bug, but very unpleasant ((((

"New Animation with all" in AIR editor has the add dialog pop up twice.
EDIT: Animation player doesn't seem to like 1-tick animelems too well. It freezes up when it loops around and the first frame is 1 tick. I believe this is also an issue when the last frame is 1 tick.
I also had a few crashes this morning when using find/replace; not entirely sure what caused it.

I just noticed that too. Was just coming to note it. Though if simple I'd prefer to have an onionskin option directly in the .air that's not used alongside the one in the sff. And with it being able to account for the offsets
Title: Re: Fighter Factory Studio 3.5.2 (UPDATED May, 31)
Post by: Odb718 on June 07, 2018, 09:59:39 pm
Adding an offset to onion skin, and being able to horizontal flip and vertical flip it would be great. But I do want to disagree with having the actual number of the sprite be different. It'd be pretty difficult to track down the exact sprite you need using only the animations. You can switch using the animations pretty fast finding the sprite in the animation, switch to sprite, click onion skin, and back to animations. If you didn't mean have them separate, but only that you could initialize which sprite based off of the animation screen, then that sounds ok to me.

Got an e-mail. He updated it last night, y'all! Go to Help > Check for Updates.
EDIT: The 1-tick animation frame issue is still present. Also, it freezes when the timing is 0. In MUGEN, it simply skips to the next frame.
Also, I can't click multiple times to select a CLSN that's underneath another. Really makes attack placement a pain. I know this is a difficult case, but it's an important one. You already have a list of hitboxes, so what you can do is iterate through each one, keep track of the index in the array it's currently on, and move to the next that fills the criteria of the mouse clicking in its location.

Yeah In FF3 it was annoying if you couldn't select a third/fourth box. I don't like that you can't even get to 2. I just spent about 6h redoing hitboxes. This is a pretty big option imho.

I just meant I'd like to be able to choose the onionskin in the air editor.
I do have a question though. When I have more than 1 char open in FFS and I am on a certain sprite/anim in the sff or air and I go to another char tab. Then I go back to the previous char tab. It is rarely where I left it. I don't understand the logic it's using to save the location I was last looking at. So I have to find the sprite/anim again. Multiply that by 100 and it gets exasperating. Can you make it keep my location?

Seems people didn't noticed, but now, AIR editor has its own OnionSkin that uses anim/frame combo that's exactly what people are requesting :D. It's on the thumbnails panel on all presets.

The update only contains the executable, and two dynamic libraries, no way it will change xml files, except update.xml. But the update process has some bugs, mainly file permissions that break things on Unix systems. And if you run it as administrator on a folder with admin rights, update will fail.
I think will be better to fix these remaining bugs and add the suggestions above and release as 3.5.3 so people will redownload it and in the next updates we do it only by "Check updates".

Yes, this happens on Linux too. It's a well known issue since the first version. This is a Qt bug, so will be harder to fix without big changes, so I'm skipping this now.

The file was modified? Because all save functions ignore unmodified files (no reason to save if nothing changed). But I'm checking the Save function to ensure it's working as expected. The shortcut you talked about is on "Save all" because only the modified files will be saved, so it is best than save only the current file. If just current file was modified, it performs the same way.

You're using 3.5.3? (seems you're still in 3.5.2, this time you must redownload, no update inside 3.5.2 updater) Tested here with 32bit image I made, very similar to your sprite and it's displayed right. I changed the way it renders sprites with alpha channel in 3.5.3 to fix this. If the problem persists, maybe it's a problem with your OpenGL drivers, so try enabling Native painting engine in Options -> Image. Will be great if you can send this sprite to me. And, currently, there's no update available for 3.5.3, it's not an error!
FFSX crashes when I click in the button "Replace All" for long char strings. Also crashing when exporting sprites. (I'm using Xubuntu BTW)
Can't reproduce on 3.5.3. Do you can post a sample string to test? Can't reproduce too. This happens on any SFF? If not, send me one to test, maybe it's corrupted somewhere.
If people can support us on Patreon would be great, as this way I can put more time and effort to make more frequent updates. Thanks!

The "Native painting" seems to have helped it, and I was using the 3.5.3 version, I'd even said that in my post, that i had to download it manually.
I'm almost sure of what causes that, and it must be Windows 10 again and it's poor support for older GPUs. My card shows as: Windows 7: OpenGL 3.1 and Windows 10: OpenGL 1.1.

Very strange guy, I can't find this version in any place. He has good knowledge about code protection in Ultimate and license terms. I feel hes trying to sell FF somewhere.

Whenever I add a group of new sprites from a folder in Windows 10 the sprites get added out of order, very annoying. For example, I add sprites 0 through 26.png all at once and it will just mix up the order. Also, using the detect group from filename option prompts you to enter the group for every image instead of just once. The auto updater just freezes on an empty progress bar for me (3.5.3, first version).

3.5.3 Windows 7 64 bit
It is crashing a ton when I try to make new anims. It also crashes when I try to use the updater. I downloaded the latest from your site but the updater still shows it has an update. Even when it doesn't crash and closes successfully when I restart it still allows me to download the update and I don't see any differences.

After last update, the problem with the zoom in the window of current animation editor was not solved completely. The text is scaled only if you enable the text animation editor (then it is scaled in the edit window) After you close the character, the result for the edit window of current animation editor is not saved - you have to turn on the animation code editor again and change the scale. Otherwise, the zoom in the code editor works well. Thanks for the update. And about updates. I have noticed that when checking for updates, the program can indefinitely install the same update and it is unclear whether the update is installed or not))).Sometimes the program crashes when updating.

When importing sprites / sounds from another project, you may not be able to quickly enter the group number and rename it, as the elements can be scattered and need to be searched for a long time. When applying the palette to a group of sprites, the same problem arises - you have to choose the sprites one by one ((((

Fighter Factory Studio 3.5.3 x64 Linux Mint 19
AIR: When a click in "Use this Contact boxes in all other instances of this frame" option, FFXS crashes after confirmation. If I run FFSX via terminal emulator/command line, this same bug return a "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" message.
Update: FFSX can't install the "Bug fixes for 3.5.3" update. Terminal emulator return this:
I've noticed crashing while creating new animations as well, particularly in text mode.
Same here.
Getting the same issues as above and when adding an animation.
Same here. If I play an animation before creating a new one ff crash, and the problem with deleting or cutting big chunks of code still persists if there is, for some reason, more than one skipped line separating the code.

I'm having huge problems with the software, as in I can not edit any of the text based files (DEF, CNS, CMD) as it just freezes when I select the tab. I can right-click and it brings up the hover-menu, but anything else is unclickable and I can just click on another non-text based tab (Sprites, Anim etc.). Also, the SND tab makes it freeze. What gives?
I'm using Windows 10 64bit. I tried it with the 32bit version + different compatibility modes, but it just freezes.

Speaking about crashing, I've been getting those issues regarding the .air lately. I've been mostly using it just for testing purposes, so it's works fine on that regard. But on my free time, I'm actually trying to make a character which requires me to edit the air file. That's when the crashes keep occurring and forces me to save often. I can't think of how many times it crashed when I'm working on a character than testing an already finished one.
Now I feel the pain with everyone else and I hope VirtuallTek comes back and reads this eventually.

You know? I've been having a bit of a problem with FF 3.5.3 myself!
It STILL has tons of trouble dealing with converting .png files to .sff correctly, seeing that all of the sprites being used for my game will be made and created as .png files. When I attempted to put in some of the graphics and save, the colors became SUPER distorted/corrupted/glitchy and was AWFUL to look at... anyone know how to fix it?

You mean the glow bleeding? While it IS one of the problems I'm having with my ports (hand-drawn by my friend!) with transparency, it wasn't the problem that I was trying to explain. I was trying to import my game's logo (in my sig) using FF 3.5.3, and it completely "corrupted" itself when I clicked yes on the error autofix. Even if I DID click no, the image would still come out corrupted when I booted up MUGEN.
Basically, it ends up looking like this in FF3 (ignore the cursor). (https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img922/1933/zvPFpO.png)
(EDIT: I was able to semi-fix it by clicking that second option to "force-adapt" the png when loading. Still comes out all pixel-y though...)

Bug in ffs 3.5.4 (WinXP SP3 32 bit): the program crashes when loading a character. In Windows 7 32 bit such problem was not observed.
It sounds as though you're trying to import a 32-bit RGBA image into a sprite file designed for 1.0 or earlier, which does not support that type of image.

Hmm. I AM using MUGEN 1.0 for my project. Are you suggesting I should change versions?
EDIT: Figured it out! Not only did I switch to MUGEN 1.1, but I also noticed that I can have FF auto-detect colors in a sprite/image and switch the palette just to that. I was able to put my logo in properly, as well as a small AND large port for one of my characters!

I switched earlier this week, and it came out perfectly! All I really needed to do in FF Studio was to take the image of the sprite, auto-create a palette for the picture and force-adapt the image to its own palette.
I linked an image that shows how one of my character's ports came out in-game!
Spoiler: My Game Demo's CSS. I practically JUST started on the game, so I simply made a placeholder.(click to see content)

Changes in this new build: Zoom on code editors applied to "Edit animations too. Fixed "Run in engine" when .def is used as CNS too. Export sprites/sounds crashes if used while in another editor. String replace crashes if it changes some comment. Random crash while editng code. Fixed many bugs in OnionSkin. Configuration moved to an user directory. Pasting a RGBA image on Indexed canvas tries to preserve transparency. Added option to allow color slot redistribution on Advanced Palette Editor. Better renderer selection (Native painting is activated if neither OpenGL 2.0 or DirectX 9 support is available). Code list updates itself when some value changes. Implemented the variable usage list/log for M.U.G.E.N. Tree list state is preserved when switching between editors. Texture cache is cleared on Native painting mode, saving lots of memory. Fixed the crash when switching from definitions editor right after some change was made. Fixed the zoom on animation editor after closing all tabs. Fixed some crashes while editing animations. Fixed import animations from another project. Fixed export to HTML. Fixed some problems with angle and scaling. Changed Options window so each engine module can display custom settings. Added options to change CLSN default colors on M.U.G.E.N module. Fixed the Throw creator slider not updating animation when moving by keyboard. Fixed the function "Use these contact boxes in all other instances of this frame". Fixed the crash when there's just one frame in an animation with time = 0. Fixed the bug that sends an animation to the top instead of bottom on organizer. Implemented a progress bar to show code reparse progress while switching colorsets. Implemented a new way to write into files, more secure, as we keep the original file while writing into another temporary one (if a failure occurs while writing you won't lose the file like before).

The bugs fixed are:
Scale defaults on animations (considers empty as 0, defines both X and Y at same time to avoid unexpected zero as before); Code completion. Some new things where implemented:
Visual markup of code revision. Modified lines are marked as red (unsaved) and green (saved). Debugging support. Two types of debuggers are supported: external (to work directly with the engine itself) and internal (to simulate engine inside Fighter Factory, allowing full debugging capabilities, better integration and testing speed). Currently, there's no debugger implemented, so only breakpoint functionality is working (useless for now, and not fully implemented). New code-related features are being implemented, so stay tuned for more news!
Thanks!

Hello folks ,
Fighter Factory Studio can extract all character sprites into images,
Would be possible to implement a replacement by an images in batch mode? (the images would be named the same as the extracted images)
I could only replace by an image one by one
This would be useful in AI upscaling characters in one go.
So basically : -extract a character sprites as images -those images would be upscaled without changing the files names ( by an external software) -Replace all the sprites with the upscaled images in one go

This program is EXTREMELY buggy. Updated, and it couldnt for some reason unzip the theme files, and I was left with a broken config, had to reinstall. And also, why does the installer delete EVERYTHING in the installation folder? Why is this even a thing? No uninstallers do this. Also lots of crashes with editing anything other than cahracters, liek fight fx. The old studio works better. Been 2 years and a lot of these crashes still havent fixed, among other annoying bugs.

Yeah, this program just WON'T open. Furthermore, I can't reinstall it because the installer keeps having errors.

After loading a character, it gives me this script error: (https://i.imgur.com/UIgWKZT.png) Because of this, I can't access any parts of the sprites, animations, palettes, sounds, organizer, etc. This new 3.5.6 update bricked the program and is no longer usable as you can't edit the SFF, AIR, or SND files. Making it impossible to make characters or edit it.

Ok after working on it and ignoring that error and working on some chars i realized after launching mugen it was crushing the engine immediately. Removed that character and then run properly so i guess those things i simplysmall edited (just some sprites)just to test the FF was making a mess on it or smth. I tried to install 32 bits version i get no error while installing and even tho it finishes properly it doesnt even launch at all Aaaaaaaanw this is the error i get on 64 bit (https://i.ibb.co/Wv0Z9B6/qweqwe.png) (https://imgbb.com/)
Does anyone have 3.5.4 or 3.5.3 versions? not available in the old versions downloads

This might be because you already have the Visual C++ Redistributable version the program needs. Clicking ignore should install the program properly. I know this because I had this exact same error, so I uninstalled Visual C++ Redistributable 2015-2019 and then installed the program with no issues. Well, no issues until...

This exact same thing. I thought it was a problem of vc_redist.x64 being skipped during installation, but even after I successfully installed FFS after doing the thing I said above, this error keeps happening preventing me to editing anything.
I hope devs can look into it.

Finally taking a few days, I figured out why it's giving me that script error. Turns out the Ultimate preset is broken. Fighter Factory Studio is working fine after loading a character using a different one, but you'll have to get used to either the Classic, Clean or Neo interfaces as the button placements are different from each other.
At this time, I will keep 3.5.4 as a backup until it's fixed since that is the last version before the Ultimate preset is no longer functional.
Oh, and don't use "Check updates..." on Help to update the program. Loading a character after updating it that way will cause it to crash every time, making Fighter Factory Studio no longer functional. So download it from the site instead anyone who hasn't yet.

So I looked at VirtuallTek's Patreon page and it seems like he did release a minor update that supposedly fixes that. Guess that explains what update on Help the program is talking about. Unfortunately, it is not on the site and still using the release from 1/2 which I downloaded again as of yesterday. Someone needs to tell him to update the installer on the site as the feature to update through it will cause the program to brick.
There's also a minor bug where the arrow inside the square on the bottom right to access the Issues, Advanced Search, Engine Output, Debugger and Watch won't appear on bootup unless it's clicked once. There's another bug where the project tab will sometimes eventually stop working, making you unable to access certain options on it. Closing and reopening the program is the only way to fix that.
Thanks a lot, SolidZone!! It worked perfectly after changing the skins. It will come out handy for the color separation of certain batperson! c:
No problem, hope you get used to the button layout for the time being (Which I'm still not used to as the up and down buttons for the x/y axis are so tiny in Classic). You can still Ultimate for the Iconset, Stylesheet and Colorset, but it's not remotely the same as using the preset.

nah this sounds typical, ever since any early version of studio. idk, cant bring myself to full come on board with studio, its still super buggy and crashes on random things. also, fightfx editing for some reason has been made worse than its ff3 counterpart. I mean studio needs a MAJOR bug fix and overhaul.

Looks like there was another update on 1/16. Even though the site still says 1/2, I had to update through the program a 2nd time in order to get it to work. After updating twice, now the program is no longer bricked and the Ultimate preset is working again. Hopefully, no more issues arise.
Although, this could be a problem if you plan to install this on a PC with no access to internet as they won't be able to get any of the updates.

Hello!
New update released today. This is a full update containing all previous changes, more bug fixes and new stuff.
Changes:
Fixes many crashes on DirectX rendering mode; Fix Ultimate preset errors; Adds a volume control in Sound editor (for playback). Fixed an infinite loop while closing a Project (DirectX rendering mode); Fixed random crashes caused by very small textures (like in Winane AI template); Fixed many memory leaks; Project loaded from script (like Winane AI template) has code navigation list enabled now; Added "Zoom / Fit to screen" function to adjust the zoom level to best fit the contents on workspace area (a button is available on toolbars too); Implemented zoom support for sounds editor; Implemented a tick based timeline (60Hz) on sounds editor; Improved waveform rendering (min/max sampling); Added waveform color for customization in Options (if you use custom colors you may need to check this anyway); Added an optional package that install Archive extensions (RAR/ZIP support). This will allow you to open a Project from these archives using "Project / Open from archive" function. Backups will be made in ZIP archives too instead of sub folders. Fixed missing palette on PNG causing Mugen 1.1 crash; Fixed a crash when applying changes to animation code while playing at same time; Fixed relative path handling on archives; Fixed modification status in animation text mode window; Fixed checkbox icon not showing on menus; Fixed program freezing temporarily after opening/switching projects; Fixed some crashes and parsing errors on BGs; Saving sprite changes in image editor also adjusts axis if canvas size was increased. Implemented Save as UTF-8 functions (This saves the current file like regular Save using UTF-8 encoding. Only use this if all characters are being displayed correctly in text editor, otherwise you must select the right encoding first, reload then save as UTF-8); Implemented Encoding menu under Edit (This is another way of changing the encoding, instead of clicking in the status bar which is not so obvious); Implemented find animation for OnionSkin. Very special thanks to everyone reporting bugs and making suggestions, in special Tyler Young, United By Games, O Ilusionista and ErnestoGP. I'm trying to implement as much features as possible, so for sure, any suggestion is being taken into account.
I cant download from the server, any send me please the set-up for windows 10/64bits!
I have the same issues I try for update from the program too but it crashes when I open a project Update: Google Chrome blocks the download but with the old internet explorer I can do it and it works perfectly

Some Feedback and suggestions:
When running the engine again there's a spelling mistake on "the" with the "Oops, you can only run one instance of yhe engine at the same time"
Text mode on anims is gone (it was a hidden but useful feature) which was handy when you needed to go through an anim file to check for errors, and it's much faster than fixing them using the "edit code in text" button
Another thing from FF3 that should be reimplemented is the fact you can have .def files associated with FF3 and can open characters/stages/etc. from their folder rather than needing to open them up in the program like you do in FFS
Support for Ikemen GO plus sctrls, triggers, etc https://github.com/K4thos/Ikemen_GO/wiki

Version 3.6 is almost done!

Hello guys!
I'm doing the last adjustments and fixes before releasing version 3.6. Everything I wanted to implement in this version is done (except Debugger, which unfortunatelly will be missing).
This build is a massive step up in editing capabilities, and BGs are the main focus. You can edit BGs from everywhere (Stages, Screen packs, ...), opening room for more a specific editor later for System Screens.
Stages have more attention on this release, so you can easely test camera bounds, P1 and P2 start position, ZOffset and ZOffset link, among many other editable parameters in the Stage's panel.

Just to update the topic:
Fighter Factory Studio 3.6 released! (https://c10.patreonusercontent.com/3/eyJ3Ijo2MjB9/patreon-media/p/post/49363625/9f86caf25d1a4fe28ae1f58e932a5454/1.jpg?token-time=1618858452&token-hash=oRZS-7zSy1dM4yC10SAfhZvc0quHfkAT9J-YGmvXUSk%3D) From Virtualltek's post at Patreon:
Hello!
Today, I'm proud to release Fighter Factory Studio 3.6. This version is the major step forward in Fighter Factory history.
Since the first version, the program was designed to edit characters, and specific tools for fonts and stages was planned (Font Factory is the only one that was born). The never released version 3.1 has BGs support, but implementing that was a challenge, as Fighter Factory 3 is, still, focused on chars, so Studio comes to the rescue. This version is designed to support a greater feature set, and it's modularity allows pretty much everything to be supported, that's my final goal.
The first step is done, backgrounds are widely used across the engine, so this editor will highly improve workflow speed and quality of life when working with this type of content. Fonts, System Pack and advanced editing/debugging features comes next.
Changes:
• Image editor no longer asks to discard changes after saving and navigating to another sprite. • Added contiguous option to Magic Wand. • Increased maximum Zoom level. • An active search no longer moves cursor position while going to another editor. • Changed format for exporting config from options to include everything in a single file. • Welcome dialog don't show if the program finds an existing configuration. • Improved search & replace functions to use the advanced search functionality. • Added support to captures on regular expression replace mode (%1, %2, ...). • Fixed some crashes while applying settings. • Fixed selection mask not moving alongside pixels on image editor. • Fixed a bug that might cause sprites to be incorrectly linked. • Made changes on Sprite explorer (thumbnails) to be more generic, so now it's not exclusive to Animations editor. • Sprite explorer can be used on Image editor to insert sprites as individual layers. • Implemented a Play function for Image editor, so it hides all layers and then on, one at a time. • Implemented Save layers as individual sprites (the layer's name defines the sprite identifier). • Made a lot of changes on all presets and iconsets for the new features (including moving OnionSkin to Animations panel, which makes more sense). • Updated the Reference Documentation (scripting documentation is on the way). • Fixed some crashes while editing commands. • Fixed some crashes while trying to edit a FightFX Project. • Fixed Issues showing twice for virtual files like Animations on stages and BGs (stuff from .def). • Updated syntax highlight for stages, storyboard, system.def and fight.def. • Implemented complete BGs support (work for Stages, Motif and Storyboard). • Implemented Controllers panel to edit BG controllers. • Implemented Stage panel to edit Stage specific options (affecting BG preview).

Feedback on 3.6 from the MFG Discord: Playing a sound in the editor gets rid of your ability to scroll with the left and right arrow keys. Sprite palettes switching between 1,1 and 1,other number in the sprite editor aren't read properly. (Rare edge case) It takes longer to reparse when switching between mugenversions in the .def editor than in 3. Every time you modify a file with an external program it generates 2 dialogue boxes per save instead of 1. (Discovered by 2OS) When you switch to another window, the entire background goes black but the sprite until you switch to another sprite. (Discovered by XenoCard) (https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/319049781798240256/826563190976151662/dialogue_box.png?width=1042&height=641)

Better to stick with 3 until all of them are fixed.

From author's post: https://www.patreon.com/posts/version-3-7-mode-54238356
Version 3.7 Preview! [Simulation Mode] Hello!
After the version 3.6 release, quite some time ago, I started to work on the biggest feature I ever made for Fighter Factory. Originally, debugging support was supposed to be released on that build alongside BGs editor, but at the time, grabing stuff directly from Mugen's process memory was a big challenge on Unix systems. Testing directly on the engine is the best scenario, but the time will take to circunvent some complexities of a Windows executable running under Wine led me to skip this for now and focus on the second debugging alternative Fighter Factory Studio supports, the Simulation Mode (don't know if this will be the final name for the feature).
Simulation Mode is the engine running inside FFS, using the program's resources. This has some disadvantages like its slower, may differ from M.U.G.E.N. slightly sometimes, but has the biggest advantages:
Faster to test (it loads only the required resources and some of them are already loaded and ready to be used by FFS itself); Detailed information (no limits to what can be displayed and inspected); Advanced debugging capabilities like stepping line by line, more supported breakpoint modes; As M.U.G.E.N. isn't open source like OpenBoR, I made everything from scratch, and it's built to perform as closest as possible to M.U.G.E.N. 1.1 Beta. As shown in the video, you can test everything, from chars to system screens, or even storyboard.
Engine's global clipboard is written to the Output panel in the bottom, so you can see all information, not just the last couple of lines.
Currently, not all information is available, but I'll be adding shortly more stuff like Projectile list, Explod list, Global assert flags, Envshake, After Image and PalFX information, Animation stats and Buffering time per command (yeah, you can see if a command has matched and the time it's valid for the command trigger, and, as certain variables are editable, you can even manually trigger a command editing its buffer time).
Sound support is very limited on Fighter Factory (no mixer), so no audio for now. But I'm working to improve this so everything M.U.G.E.N. does, the program will do the same. Basic audio editing is on the way too.
When finished, you will be able to pause at any desired point, see all game variables, inspect the changes made by state controllers, know what all triggers will return before they gets executed, check what trigger lines has been activated or not. You have all the information you need to easely find and fix bugs, develop things faster and better. The ultimate tool will be in your hands.
Beta for Tier 4 soon.

Guys I have a problem for some reason I can't use the side scroll bar in the sprites menu, animations and the palette tool. I can't close the program from time to time either, but in most cases I have to use the task manager.

Hello!
Version 3.6.3 is out. This build fixes various issues and has many quality of life improvements as listed bellow:
Changes: Fixed search & replace for CMD and AIR text mode; Fixed color settings not being properly updated while applying changes; Made text editor background/foreground colors customizable; Increased maximum zoom level for Image editor to 32. Implemented some security measures to avoid data corruption of binary files if something goes wrong during save; Implemented a tooltip for tabs to display the full path of the file/project. Implemented Edit / Code / 'Auto-indent selection' and 'Auto-format selection' functions for code formatting; Implemented Project / 'Welcome screen' to show the first screen with recent projects as a tab; Added the complete file path to the history menu; Added an option to edit the history (remove items) from the Welcome screen; Added support for OGG/FLAC/MP3 (open/import) and OGG/FLAC (save/export); Increased maximum pen size from 24 to 128 and remap slots from 12 to 32 in the Image editor; Moved tool options in the image editor to a toolbar at the top of the canvas area (will move to the main toolbar later); Fixed the bug that makes impossible to manually go to a frame with time = 0 in Animations editor; Fixed current line in full text mode changing to the first frame when you go to the [Begin Action] line in Animations editor; Fixed "Import from another Project" functions reporting twice the ammount of items imported; Fixed "Import animations from another Project" function not properly renaming if you do so; Fixed .def not being saved for testing in M.U.G.E.N. if used as cns, st, ... Added options to choose the texture upload method (Options / Graphics). This may help avoiding issues with bad OpenGL drivers. Regarding texture upload method, the options are:
Immediate: texture is uploaded to VRAM after the image has been decoded on loading (increases loading time, unless you're running on SDD). The safest mode, nothing can go wrong; Delayed: decoded image is stored in system memory and only upload to VRAM the first time it's requested by the renderer (increases system memory usage but decreases VRAM usage, if you do not scroll over all sprites anyway). Has a good balance between loading time and safety; Multi-threaded: the mode used in previous versions and default. Textures are uploaded in many background threads (much faster but may cause trouble, like freeze and messed up textures on some systems). The fastest for modern hardware; Another interesting info about the ordering which items gets added into the program from open dialogs (a lot of people are talking about this problem).
There's many ways you can control the order of files from an open dialog in Options window:
Force the list of files to be sorted alphabetically by checking "Sort file names from the open dialog", or disable it if this behavior is undesired. Choose between Native and portable open dialogs (look for "Use system native open dialog"). The portable one, is the same on all platforms with consistent behavior. The combination of these two options creates a lot of variety. The most consistent behavior is disabling the two, so the portable dialog will be used without file sorting. The order will be the same as you select the files (as most people seems to want). Sorting creates consistent behavior for native dialogs, as they vary from one platform to another, like the Windows one that always sort the files, no matter the order you selected (just look at the list as you select).
I hope this clarify things a bit more regarding this "issue".
Known issues:
Advanced search not working; Some weird things happen sometimes while editing animations in full text mode. Thanks to everyone supporting us and reporting issues.

As much as I hate to say this, but I kind of agree with what Mushypepito123 is saying. I think I may have a theory why Fighter Factory Studio is broken. The problem is that FFS requires installation. It doesn't work out the zip file right away as there is an Installer.exe you have to run first after it is extracted. And even if you uninstall it, assets of the program can still remain so it will never be a fresh clean reinstall. The only way I can think of is to format and reinstall my entire PC, but that won't guarantee it will stop working again. So I will not take the risk to do that just for one program.
Fighter Factory 3 on the other hand doesn't and has all of the required files in the zip already, so you can simply extract it in an empty folder and run the exe without any loops. You can even delete the whole folder and nothing remains, so it can simply be installed from scratch again in case something is wrong with it.

Studio is just too ambitious for its own good. Trying to skip a decade worth of halted development and squeeze it into a few years. They should've released FF4 as a small upagrade from 3 and continue from there. 3 to Studio was too big of a jump.
It was way worse though. I remember when an update notice would keep pop up and when you actually try to update, it would fail, causing you to restart the bloody thing with the notice popping up again.

That's not correct. Studio installs itself to the specified location and attempts to install a version of the VC++ redists. It stores configuration data in one of the AppData subfolders. Uninstalling the program deletes the files from the install location; if it doesn't, you can manually delete them along with the associated AppData sub-subfolder.
When updating, I recommend getting the installer yourself instead of letting Studio do it.

Yeah, but even after the reinstallation, it would still not run and kept closing without errors as seen on the Task Manager. However, your post helped me fix the issue I had and here's how I done it:
After uninstalling Fighter Factory Studio and taking a looking at AppData subfolder like you said, there is still a folder of it with 4 xml files (config, history, mugen_config and shortcuts). Once I deleted them and reinstalling it, the program now opens and works again. So all this time, buggy configuration data files were left over that weren't properly removed after uninstalling and was preventing the program from opening after reinstallation. No one ever mentioned something that technical when I asked for help months ago. Even Fighter Factory 3 never installed anything on the AppData subfolder as everything to get it to run was all in the zip.
Now I can finally go back to using the Image Editor again as I find it more refined than FF3's version as I can view the sprites through other palettes and switch to different character tabs. But I will still use GIMP for making small portraits as OHMSBY said, it is much better with the use of layers.

The distribution changes mentioned in the last post will be applied in future updates, as I'm still preparing the Linux AppImage and Windows MSI installers.
For Windows, from now on there's a Portable version for both x86 and x64 builds.
Changes: Fixed the bug that prevents the program from opening on some machines; Added Japanese translation by nomucoke; Added documentation for triggers and state controllers by holding Ctrl and clicking over the word in any code editor. Thanks to everyone supporting us and have fun!
The bug stopping the program from launching should be fixed now. There is also a portable version available.

Even though I finally got it working on my PC weeks ago, it's nice to see it fixed for real this time so no more technical loops to go though just for that. The portable version is also a welcome addition too, so it should guaranteed work since it shouldn't access the AppData subfolder.
Now with that out of the way, it would actually be interesting to see this get supported for Steam Deck. Should be possible as there's a native Linux version available.

I doubt there's enough users on Steam Deck editing Mugen Chars to take focus away from the major issues on Windows. I'm pretty sure that would just be another source of headaches.
Just installed the portable version on my laptop. Opened up just fine. Testing it out now.
---- But honestly the scroll wheel problem is still there so idk how much I'll be using it. Latching IN to the closest box and adjusting the values with the scroll wheel is terrible imho. Randomly changing the position of sprites, the groups, it's crazy.
SO. Not in the last forever of editing Mugen characters with Fighter Factory have I ever used the scroll wheel to adjust values. The option is in FF3. I had NO clue because there's never been a scroll bar in the Animation's Editor area. Scrolling down with the mouse button, then having the pointer cross the threshold of a value box to then stop scrolling down to adjust the value is extremely frustrating.
Has anyone used the scroll wheel to adjust the values in the animation editor panel?

Hello guys!
Finally, I'm releasing version 3.7.3 that brings a lot of bug fixes (all known issues were fixed) and improvements, alongside a new feature: audio editing in Sounds editor.
Global changes:
Updated Qt on all platforms (including Qt4 and Qt5 variants) and removed DirectX 11 dependency on Windows; Updated Dark and Light styles to use HiDPI images; Added two new iconsets (Flat-Dark and Flat-Light) and a new Colorset (Monokai by Jesuszilla); Made changes to avoid multiple consecutive error dialogs while using the "Test in engine" function; Fixed the program crashing after closing a tab (when multiple tabs are open); Fixed the crash happening after Applying settings and closing Options window; Fixed multiple random crashes happening while editing sprites and sounds; Fixed a typo in the message displayed while trying to run two engine instances at same time; Fixed a bug where after editing a sprite, navigating to another and choosing to discard the changes, the selection slider moves one more position; Fixed the option 'Switch to the frame's sprite' resetting upon applying settings; Fixed a crash when trying to cancel adding new sounds by closing the "Add" dialog; Fixed icons not showing for Quick search functionality; Fixed auto save progress notification not going away for text files; Fixed file modification watcher not working after the file has been saved; Fixed the file tab not updating correctly after saving the file; Fixed a bug in the colors list in Options where using keyboard to change the selection doesn't update the color state; Fixed a bug in quick search on non-text editors (jumping to the next element while opening or closing the search box); Fixed a bug where replacing a sound/sprite from 'Import from another Project' doesn't count and the interface isn't updated; Some toggle states are saved properly now (contact boxes, guides, ruler, axes); Added support for opening files with any extension in Commands and States editors; Added support for using the Numpad Enter key for quick search; Added the ability to move the cursor position on Sound editor to start playing from that sample; Implemented sample range selection on Sound editor; Implemented some basic Sound editing functions (Remove selected, Fill silence, Fade in, Fade out, Cut, Copy and Paste); Implemented some Audio editing tools (Move selected and resize samples); Implemented the Pause function on Sound editor.
M.U.G.E.N. related changes:
Fixed a crash that may happen in rare conditions while editing sprites/sounds and auto save is running; Fixed the crash happening sometimes when you type in an out of bounds var index; Fixed a bug in the animation creation feature of the Throw Creator; Fixed the crash that happens while switching from/to var list mode on States editor; Fixed a crash while opening a project that contains both mugenversion tied to Win/DOS M.U.G.E.N and localcoord; Fixed the Emulator crashing if some State has more than 128 trigger lines; Fixed a bug preventing some old SFF v1 files from opening; Added VictoryQuote to the SCtrls template list. This is probably the most stable Fighter Factory build to date!
Sorry for the long delay (this should been released in February). But the wait worth the effort, as all crashes are fixed (big thanks to Jesuszilla for the great information provided about many issues). Also, the new website is online too. MUGENext 0.1.0 Beta is the next release as soon as I finish some platform specific stuff.
I hope you guys enjoy. Thanks to everyone supporting us. Have fun!

For some reason, I found a bug in the updated version. When I attempt to use the "Find" function on Animations, it skips to the next animation of the AIR file instead of finding the number of the exact animation I'm looking for. Keep clicking find again will keep skipping and loop all over again if you reach the last one. This now makes it impossible to find duplicates if any or say "No animations found!" if it doesn't exist.
Looks like 3.7.3.1 update fixed it. I noticed O Ilusionista reported it to him on Patreon already.

I'm still getting the same crash JasonThePhoenix mentioned in the M.U.G.E.N Development Help where if you attempt to delete the last Hold Dir command. Even when deleting each letter one by one, it will still crash if you try to remove something else in the cmd file after managing to remove that specific command completely. With the characters I work and/or test on, I won't technically need to touch it. But should be a warning for those who does.
Edit: Found another bug. For some reason should you decided to change the input source on your TV or monitor while Fighter Factory Studio is open, the "Play the current sound" or "Play the current sound with infinite loop" buttons on Sound doesn't work and won't play any audio. I had to close and reset the program just to get it working again. This was tedious when I didn't have a certain game on PC and had to switch to console to compare when making voice patches.
