This is where any bugs for Goovie Maker can be posted.

Here's one: any newly-opened movie with enough keyframes is marked as unsaved. (try Chapter3End)

Also: the trees stay the same when closing one tab and opening another IN SOME INSTANCES...I haven't been able to make it happen intentionally.

Another Planet finally has an official release! Download chapters 1 through 3 here! Thank you for waiting so long while I kept starting over.

What it means! Noone have Goovie Maker! Why there are (only) a few goo fans having access to this invention! Stare
This topic is annoying for everyone, who want Goovie Maker but can not have it!

And that's why I asked these guys to email or chat with questions or bugs Tired

Ah well.. looks like there's no way of letting the cat halfway out of the bag.
Give me a minute....

@AP: Thanks for that! :rolleyes:
1) Not a bug... there's some clean up stuff it does on the XML when it loads it, which can sometimes mean it's "dirty" straight away.
Only a bug if.... Load, shows dirty, Save, Close, Load .. still shows dirty.

2) Think I've seen that myself, but couldn't make it happen again, if you find a way to repeat it... let me know

It happened when I closed LevelFadeOut and opened Credits. All the images vanished because the only resource was the black fader.

Sorry for starting this, but I couldn't find you on IRC chat!

@AP: I suspect I know what that was...

In v0.04 when you "Preview" the movie.. it overwrites the 2dboylogo and credits movie with whatever movie you are previewing.

So if you preview a movie, then load the credits movie, what you get is a copy of the movie you just previewed.
This is fixed in 0.05 Beta.. coming 'soon'

I absolutely agree with Goosweek
But i also understand that testing Goovie isn´t public

@Daft as Brush
can you give me acces to Goovie? I´m good with Avid (professional cutting programme)
maybe I could help with testing.

Hmm...wow, now I see why DaB was keeping it such a secret in the first place...

I'm sorry, DaB...but the reference guide and Goosweek's topics were created too! I would have posted it on the reference page, but it seems like comments have been disabled, it says something about insufficient privileges.

Also, I don't give out my email on forums. Wink

MORE BUGS: It doesn't load keyframes right when changing actors, the selected one jumps to its last position but everything else goes to the 0 position. This happened once, I'm not sure why.

Also, you could disable the text not found error for sign_text and so on...maybe add it to the text.xml on installation, so that I can edit those movies.

I gave you my email so you wouldn't have to post yours... but anyway....

Not seeing the first "bug" here, try to find a way to reproduce it.

Re: Exe Text resources
You should be able to edit, save and export those movies just fine.
OK it'll show an error saying "Text .... can't be found" but everything else should work.
Also, there's nothing stopping you from adding resources with those names to the text tree.
But I'll look into if there's a way to do that / get around it automatically.

There are more...I won't post them though.

Aww... don't hold back now...

Ok, here's one more:

  1. Add an image actor.
  2. Give it a name.
  3. Add an image resource to it.
  4. Look at the tree view.

The name was replaced by the image name!

Yeah.. that's a bit of a "hack" so it shows resources names when the actor doesn't have a name... like every original movie.
Should go back to displaying name if you...
Edit the name...
Close and reopen the movie
Switch to another movie then switch back...

Was just a "nicety"... probably won't be fixed.

Even if you click the name field it fixes it. Wink
