Still slowly but surely making progress. Just finishing up the template movie clips for all the base animations and the setup necessary to make them animatable in the flash.

I didn't think about the skin tone like that but that definitely would make things easy. My original thought was to have those as "presets" and then use HSV to modify but like you said, I can just do that with defining the color with 0xRRGGBB. The crown thing is no longer doable as I edited Rosalina's crown to better match its actual appearance (though it's kind of ugly right now with the coloring). However I will still work on adding fills for headwear. As for the clothing, those were from another edit to be used strictly for quick test purposes in the prototype but I didn't get around to removing them. I do have a plan for handling clothing and other body part modifications but that will be implemented later.

Flash ui stuff is temporary, just used so I don't need to mess around a day to present alpha 0. After the tedium of setting up those sliders for it, I'm definitely not keen on using them in that form again.

As for the hierarchy optimization, I moved the eyebrows into the eye container. I'll try to look for more opportunities to do more condensing but the only practical one is already done (the eye).

Finally, making a blog. It would be a good way to keep people informed (people in gscot's vote thread that was on /f/ of 4chan a few weeks ago wished someone was making a template version of the flash and I has already been working on this for weeks at that point). I'm not much of a blogger but I'll contemplate making one. Wordpress or tumblr would be the most likely places I'd create it on.

Something on those lines was the plan. Just need to create all the objects for the menu and code them, which will be one of the last tasks done before the first release of the template based version. That might also be a good time to remove the side menus (character and animation switch/lock and the music selector) and have those menus contained in the retractable panel. Though I'm unsure how much users would miss having instant access to the switch/locks.

When someone creates decent looking assets for cum and that's not going to happen from me. I hate creating new art assets and also don't want to do a lazy and/or bad job on that (no string shot looking cum shots).

>>16801
By restructuring the code hierarchy, I meant the actual classes.
They're pretty much in a flat structure right now, that could be improved for your editing comfort.
Right now you've got:
Base________.as
Button________.as
Costume________.as
Eye________.as
Peach________.as
etc. Sitting at top level. Might be useful to throw in folders.

Update time. Got nothing for you all unless people want to see the custom sliders I finished programming for the menus. Now I have to design and program the main menu.

Also I finally caved and created a blog. 2 in fact. Which one I'll use depends on how much people value anonymous asks. If that feature is desired I'll use Tumblr. If not I'll use soup io.

>>16850
None so far. I haven't seen Gscot post anything on e621 or 4chan or tumblr.

>>16851
Even something as trivial as a slider can be a worthwhile update in terms of criticism etc.
Also, it might be worth adopting a game framework like Starling in order to guarantee performance. That being said however, this isn't a particularly intensive animation.

Updates are trickling through, slow but appreciated. Consider working with an artist. You're obviously quite passionate about coding but not producing art assets. Waiting on gscot is one thing, but you're limiting yourself to his vision and pace.

File Slider_preview.swf - (10.08KB , Slider preview.swf )

>>16856
Okay then, here's the slider swf. Also I used some of your slider example code in this, so I must ask: how do you wish to be credited in the next full release?

I'll keep those frameworks in mind but it shouldn't come down to needing them. As for finding an artist, I'll have to see. Currently there is no huge need for one (this isn't at the point where new assets are absolutely needed for things like new animation templates or new characters).

>>16853
It's not used for much (there's only 2 reblogs there) but if you still want to see it, it's at generalscot.tumblr.com

>>16857
Both blogs are still empty now but they are ppppuProgrammer.tumblr.com and ppppuProgrammer.soup.io

I'll try to update them both equally at first but the one that in a few weeks that has the most activity is the one I'll keep updated.

>>16859
If you plan to use something I've written I insist you work from properly tested and extensible code.
Try this example + framework out:

http://a.loveisover.me/bdczfp.zip

Uses the following:
https://github.com/minimalcomps/minimalcomps

Example here:
http://www.bit-101.com/minimalcomps/

Yeah, it's a bit spartan but I like how basic it is.
I don't really need credit, keep doing what you do and we'll keep suggesting improvements.

So it's on the blog but might as well post it here. I've opened the source and other related files to the public. Hopefully this will have the effect of speeding up development and refining the overall design of the program. If you're interested in contributing or at the very least curious, you can find it the repository at https://github.com/ppppuProgrammer/ppppuNX

>>16877

Confirmed. This doesn't appear to function currently. Compiling fails outright due to a bad reference to flash.display.Button.
Fixing this results in an apparently broken SWF anyway, which simply loops through animations quickly.
Perhaps provide build instructions or have a look in case you've missed something.

someone added vocals to rosalina, hopefully he does the rest of the ppppu extended cast

>>16878
Well that's what I get for rushing that out. I had a reason for that (thought I wouldn't be able to work on it for a few days and wanted this done before that) but still not a good excuse.

Anyway, I didn't check to see that a button is a flash component (never used it) so I'll just remove that code until a better solution is done. There is already a custom button class for the flash but I want to need to re-examine it since it was designed for very limited use and it may not be suitable for the new need for a button.

>>16877
>>16878

The issues with as3test and ppppuNX should be rectified. Please give it a try now and see if they work.

>>16883
Hm, I'll put something up on the tumblr later that lists all the tasks that are needed for a complete release. One I can mention is that a character edit menu is desired. While it'll be responsible for more in the future (accessories, costumes, etc.), it only needs to handle character skin, lip color and eye color.

For skin color, I wasn't quite sure how to handle the body parts that use gradients, such as the ears. Allow the user to make their own gradient? Force a limited number of color pointers and let the choose the color used at each pointer? Use blending for the gradients (I tried this and I was not happy with the results).
