Hello gurkesaft, User '7feet' made a program to mix and position .wav sounds. It is a Lua program, loadable directly into Moho. I made a suggestion (but no time to do it actually) to use this thing with Switch layers. For example, the program scanning the layers of the scene and searching for switch...

Say at frame 12, layer 1 is at the top, and at frame 36, layer 1 could be in fact the third layer down? Exactly. This is an animatable parameter. All layers has a "Z" coordinate (its default value is 0 for all of the layers). If you switch the "Sort layers by depth" option on (a...

You can manipulate the order of layers with the layer's Z coordinate (with a very small distance because changing Z changes the scale of the layer) and with the "sort by true distance" option at the Project settings...

I like open source too. There are many things I could change in Moho then. Now I am working on a C language support library for Lua, to handle animated channels - with keyframes and undo/redo. It is working with the standalone Lua console now. I am learning a lot of things about Lua with this progra...

I have an idea, something like the poll feature. If a topic gets enough spam votes from different users, it would be possible to mark it as a spam. Maybe an old, trusted user's message requires much more votes than a new one's first message who registered two minutes ago. I think the spammers are sm...

Create a long, still "paperstrip" (just like if you load a very long paper into your machine) then put this into a group together with a moving rectangle, and use the rectangle to view the papersheet's missing edges and to mask the long paper. Maybe some additional works required if the pa...

The thin black outline comes from the edge of the eyeball, because the masking of the lid is partially transparent at the edge. Because of the anti-aliasing. Sometimes it comes out in other programs too and in this case I usually make the masking separately to the outline and to the paint. I think a...

You can find an example code how to parse through the layers in this topic:

To hide something, you can make a highest level layer with a hiding frame, big enough to hide everything (In Moho, it is not possible to create "inverted" fill shapes). A more difficult way: 1. Create a new group layer, 2. Create a second group layer inside of the first one, 2. Put all lay...

I made a minor correction in my FloodSelection routine (it worked wrong in case of some nested curves) and extended the PaintBucket to use my FloodSelection routine if LM's version fails. The modified files: utility/fa_sharedutils.lua and tool/fa_paint_bucket.lua.

Layers are 'userdata' type structures in Moho but you can expand them with any custom variable. (userdata is a 'frontend' for a C program to communicate with Lua programs). This may cause a solution if the layer searching and calculating takes too much time: - use one master Layerscript which calcul...

I have Synfig and I see many very good things in it, like the render preview, the nice gradient fills etc. It would be great to see these in Moho too. But I think the animation basics of Moho is definiately better than Synfigs'. Practically Synfig is a nice toy but I don't want to make serious anima...

Now I tried to install Papagayo under Linux, and in my distribution (SuSE 10.0) the wx library is also missing by default. I installed the wxGTK libraries and the python-wxGTK package, then papagayo is working!

The line on the head seems as an error in the outline of the hair. The shape filler of Flash is sensitive to the proper outlines. Maybe Moho's SWF converter (the ming library) made something wrong, I think the outline is not closed. A little replacing of the points at the curl above her right eye - ...

A menu item (in menu/Script Writing) added. It is a useful tool to examine undocumented Lua variables (if any). It prints variable listing into the Lua console, very similar to the way as LM's scriptwriting menu items do. It can dump the global table (use the _G name) or the contents of MOHO, LM or ...
