Pivot v4.2 bug reporting thread (Updated v4.2.5 - 14/03/16)

[tuna]

yeah, and watch out for that Ctrl + Play when you don't have any frames ;o

[Lord]

Also,bug...

When the editor is transparent and you go to move it, it causes anything under the editor to shake and wobble.

I'm not sure what you mean. It works for me ok with no frames.

Not really a bug, just a bit of lag.

oh, sorry yeah, i was just confused because the dotted border disappeared and i didn't realise that was normal. it doesn't disappear if you play the animation normally and such so yeah, guess im not used to that heh

The dotted border shouldn't disappear. Thanks.

[tuna]

The dotted border shouldn't disappear. Thanks.

oh okay
also i love that option to turn off black borders, gives a pivot 2/3 feel to it suddenly :D :D
255 segment limit still >:|

[Anton]

The 255 limit is an inviolable rule in terms of memory


I have experienced a new issue. But i can't remake it under the camera...

Sometimes, when duplicating (single or shift-multiple duplication) a segment in the stickfigure editor, some segments go in this particular angle : 90°

Edit : succeeded to make a record.

Spoiler:

And the transparency thing is perfect. :D

You can also change the handle colours by editing the ini file if you like. Increasing the segment limit requires changing the file formats, which won't happen until V5. It's 255 because it uses 1 byte for indexing segments.

Thanks. There's nothing I can do until you can describe the steps to replicate the problem.

[Anton]

I retested. It does that bug only the first time i use any duplication after opening pivot, and then it nevers does that again.

what i did is simple :
open pivot editor, add some lines with random angles, and duplicate the second line from the origin. With or without Shift button.

[Pop]

awwwwhhh yeee pivot 4.2

edit: paste figures button doesn't grey out when you play the animation man, press it while the animation is playing and stuff happens that probably shouldn't.

Thanks Tuna. Missed that one.

I love the new update thanks peter! happy new years!

[tuna]

can we have an option to turn off the "click anywhere to select figure" thing because i keep clicking on stuff accidentally eheh.

also, if you select a figure, can it stay selected rather than it switching to the most recently added figure, when you start scrolling through frames please. otherwise, the onionskins disappear.

[Anton]

This, plus the next/previous onion skins... dayum !

And if the current figure doesn't exist anymore in the previous frame, put the lastest created in selection as usual.

This isn't necessarily a "bug" but I know the previous version had this problem too. If you're making a stk and you accidentally click back onto pivot instead of the stk editor, the stk editor goes behind pivot animator and you can't get it to come back, and if you click on the stk editor again you have to start over. So this would be more of a suggestion since I've done this a good amount of times, possibly add this as well?

Edit: never mind I found a bug as well... yay. http://prntscr.com/5negg1 <-- I get that error when I try to save animations like this. I've had this one for a while back when pivot 4 was about to come out or had just been released. Anyways I get this error not only with this animation but other ones as well. It could be the location of the file but I honestly doubt it. Also I'm doing a joint with Keoy, and in the animation when I get to a certain point in I get this error, and if I press play and it goes to those certain frames while playing I get an infinite error that won't go away until I either hold enter and stop the animation or by using task manager to shut it down.

Not a true problem : just reopen the editor from pivot and all the work you've done in the editor is still here. Don't push the edit button from the board. Do File->Create figure type.

For the other "bug", maybe you aren't the administrator of your PC, thus you don't have the right to write in the C/Program Files folder. (access denied)
Save in a folder where you have the rights to create files in it.
