Another new version to play with...

It now includes FTP download from the empeg, configuration via ini file, status messages and more. Check the ReadMe for details.

FlanceEdit V6

Note...
As it no longer uses the registry, you'll need to reselect your empeg name and other options when run for the first time...

This is just awesome and one of the funniest things i've seen in ages.

I'm trying to understand how the dance gets chosen. It seems that each man chooses BreakDance, PrinceDance, StonkDance and then sticks to it unitl the visual is reselected or reseeded.

Within each Dance, the next move is selected randomly as the last move is completed. It seems the last 2 single frame moves serve the purpose of moving the guy about ?

So presently, does anyone know a way of syncronising the men (into routines), or getting then to choose the same dance, or linking the dance to a genre, or is this controlled within the visual itself.

More testing ... it seems the last move never gets selected. So I don't know why it's there.

It seems to randomly select any move but the last one within a paticular dance. Then either play it, or mirror image play it.

First I'll say awesome...
I love it...
and I'll attach my file, warning: It's a bit risque

Next: feature tweaks
1. could you add exit to the end of the file menu?
I know it sounds dumb, but I'm used to windows apps and I almost hit reboot everytime...
2. do you think it could save in the ini, the last past it loaded from or saved too?
I hate having to navigate from C:\ everytime
3. I think it would be easier for some people if you had a way to enter the ftp password through the interface. Maybe that's doesn't matter since anyone setting ftp passwords should know how to look in the ini, but the first time I tried and it said wrong password, I was like "Hey where do I enter one?"

thanks

It's just the forearm
That's why one hand always is at the top...

maybe some sort of hand stand on the poll... slide the top hand down anout 3/4 and then have the feet come up and over the head into a hand stand type position.

although, I guess that won't work because you would lose the top of the pole....

That's quite a neat trick to make the pole... =)

I've implemented the first 2 suggestions (I've been meaning to store the last used paths for a while, but kept forgetting)

I'll put some username and password dialogs into V7 before release (probably be some time tomorrow before I've got a chance to work on it again)

well...I can just lose the bends in the arms and make one go each way for the pole...
I had that for a while with the ones now, but I wanted one arm to bend...

but more i think...maybe it won't...
sounds like you gave me a good challenge.. :-)

That is too cool and funny. These are great! everyone keep them coming!

LOREN! Where are yours?! You're an animator for crissakes!

I now officially apologize for having sat on the filespec for so long without writing an editor. This should have happened a long time ago!

like i said in another thread... Flance anims and the FAQ are loosing out priority wise to my home component empeg box at the moment... and i'm crushed at work already for E3, so i don't have much spare time on my hands. I'll get to it I swear! =]

Cool! More new features to play with!

Bugs:
- When doing an FTP download, it doesn't warn about unsaved changes.
- File load doesn't warn about unsaved changes.
- Not sure exactly how to reproduce, but when adding more moves than the original had (may have to add 3 so you're working with ones past the 2 blanks) I often get an error dialog reading "List index out of bounds (-1)" when I select a high-numbered move.
Example: stonkdance.raw has 2 moves and 2 blanks. I added many more moves. When I select move 0, 1 or 2, it's fine. When I select move 3, I get "List index out of bounds (0)" when I select anything higher than 3, I get (-1) rather than (0). V5 and V6 give the same error, but V4 says "Access violation at address 5105F611 in module 'FLACEEDIT.EXE'. Read of address FFFFFFFF" (not sure if that helps at all).

Cosmetic request:
- Most windows apps put an elipsis (...) after menu options that will pop up a dialog to ask for more info (just Load, Save, Rename Move & Set Grid Size, not Delete Frame/Move).

Feature request:
- I have no idea how hard (or easy) it is to add drag-and-drop support... e.g. drag a .raw file into the editor window and have it load that file.

Having both FTP upload and download makes it so it's easier to just work with the files on the empeg than it is to save to C:

I don't know if anyone has mentioned it, but what about a way to import/export moves. I was working on one at my gf's house but when i got home i was not able to merge the one here at home with that one. I tried to open flance edit twice to copy and past frames from one to another but that didnt work as well.

Just a suggestion, not complianing ; ). I love the program.

Is there a $40 option for that pole dancing routine? How about the $80 option?
