Bug Report: [DESCRIBE YOUR BUG IN DETAIL HERE]

[Dzmitry1234]

New version if anything :/

[x] Windows
[ ] Linux
[ ] Mac

Explain your issue

All stuff what I drew with my fingers that never seen soap, from the character (R1 it´s his name) to the background, aren't doing anything.
Character just stands and do nothing, even if you go playtest as opponent. The background doesn't show up at all, just a black screen.

Even the tutorials on YouTube don't help. Maybe God will help?

R1.xml

Bench.xml

Or did I write something wrong in the code that was shown on YouTube (official channel), and a liiiiiiitle thing ruins everything?

[Dzmitry1234]

god dammit I forgot again wrote the name of problem

when I should kms?

The FPS counter should display your Codename version, as well as certain additional statistics regarding the game and its environment. In v1.0.1 and below, you can press F3 (laptops will typically require the use of the additional function modifier on their keyboards to allow the usage of the function keys; "function-able" keys will have an additional print stating the function key) to switch between the modes of the FPS counter, between being invisible, having minimal information, and verbose statistics. The next update is expected to have this keybind be configurable in the controls menu.

I would suggest taking a look at the base game definitions as a reference; as in, the definition files under the assets folder in Codename. The game expects specific animation names for characters, so it's heavily recommended to take a look at the base game ones, and you will likely need to move around your stage elements to make sure they're on screen. You may use the stage editor for the latter purpose so long as you don't have any explicit stage handling going on, since you are able to move the camera around without affecting the stage itself.

Even the tutorials on YouTube don't help. Maybe God will help?

Although it's not updated constantly (and accurately, depending on the case), I would recommend taking a look at the wiki for this information. Most YouTube tutorials will be outdated, due to the rather recent exit out of the beta, which introduced major changes.

The official YouTube channel doesn't have any tutorials, and hasn't been updated in a long time.

Roughly speaking: I need to copy the code of an already taken character (for example, dad) and like replace everything with my char?

Only somewhat. The offsets will need to be readjusted to make them work. The character editor allows you to view the offsets and a ghost of the animation ahead of time to do this.

I tried to recreate my character, but nothing worked - nothing. Then used your lifehack. He stood still (even when pressing the arrows) and still stands.
Any other ideas?

What are the animations of your character? The supported animation names for regular gameplay are either idle, singUP, singDOWN, singLEFT, and singRIGHT, their names being adjacent to what note they are used for, with playable characters having additional animations with their miss animations having a -miss suffix. You also need to adjust the spritesheet animation name to follow the animation name in the spritesheet's XML; Codename usually expects either the initial frame or the animation name directly for this field.

In most cases, you can safely delete the animations with the -loop suffix, since most characters don't need it. If your character is designed to have looping animations to some degree, then you can include those and adjust the fields as before, though you will need to likely modify the frame indexes as well to follow the frame numbers you want to use.

Govno.mp4

On the first post, where I dropped sprite sheets, I also dropped a notebook where you can see what the animations of my char are called. When I created it in editor, the editor reacted normally. But in practice, my character doesn't move.

[r6915ee]

R1.xml

My bad, I just read the character file, thinking it was part of the stage originally since it was above the stage images.

Your animations are indeed incorrectly named:

<anim name="d" anim="d" y="-100"/>
<anim name="i" anim="i" y="-100"/>
<anim name="l" anim="l" y="-100"/>
<anim name="r" anim="r" y="-137"/>
<anim name="u" anim="u" y="-97"/>

I don't know if this is how it's intended to work, but your animations should instead be named:

<anim name="singDOWN" anim="d" y="-100"/>
<anim name="idle" anim="i" y="-100"/>
<anim name="singLEFT" anim="l" y="-100"/>
<anim name="singRIGHT" anim="r" y="-137"/>
<anim name="singUP" anim="u" y="-97"/>

As I've said before, Codename expects explicit animation names. There is no flag feature to do this, nor does it check any approximate equivalents. The anim field can remain the same, since it uses the texture name from the spritesheet's XML to identify what frames to use. If you used a spritesheet generator, then it will likely be the name of the original frames as their original images, minus the frame number and file extension.

Now char working! Thanks :)

And now the background. In the video what I've sent theres nothing but black screen. I've also dropped xml notebook BENCH, maybe something wrong with it too?

Your stage elements are likely off-screen. You should use the stage editor to check where they might be, and then move them back to their intended places. You should account for the scroll factor as well, but that's if you want parallax scrolling.

Nevermind. EVERITHING what I´ve created are gone. I just wanted check my char in editor...

[Dzmitry1234]

That include chart, background etc. etc.

As I've said before, you shouldn't set the animation field as well. That field is what Codename uses to look up the frames in the spritesheet's data. Instead, you should set that field to u for up, as an example, being what you used in that field prior.

Alright. I´ve somehow return my char, but now comes new problem. I can´t upload the song I made in FL mobile. After running it through Audacity I got this error

I would recommend putting this in a different issue.

That being said, Codename only supports OGG Vorbis for audio files at the moment, with MP3 only being used on the web version. You should check if your audio files use OGG Vorbis, preferably without OGG Theora that handles videos in OGG containers.
