Version 5.5.0.5720 Releasenote (Jul.13th, 2015)

New features

1. Effect

3. Write AVI file.

  • Go to “Rendering” and check “Uncompressed AVI” inside Output File Type then push OK button.

Additional functionalities

  • Project: Added “Save All” button on the “Save” button’s right.
    Only files marked as update are saved by this button.
  • Edit Cell: Added layout keep option.
    Adjust X/Y position of all parts which refer to this cell when the pivot of the cell is moved.
    Notice: Previously Z rotated parts cannot be kept.
  • Edit Cell: Added shortcut keys to zoom in/out by pushing +/- key with Ctrl key.
  • Curve Editor: Zoom to maximize the range of selected keys.
    Push ‘F’ key or push the second button from the left on the top-right zoom buttons.
    The range will be current play area on Frame Control if no keys are selected.
  • Curve Editor: Zoom to cover all keys in a view.
    Push ‘A’ key or push the leftmost button on the top-right zoom buttons.
  • Settings: Compatibility page.
  • Added players: SS5Player for UnrealEngine4, SS5Converter for Unity2D.
  • Added ‘Help’ link on the top-right.
  • Other: Added an option to specify zoom multiplication factor.
    zoomMulFactorByWheel tag in SsOption.ssop file.
  • Other: Added an option to specify maximum loadable image size.
    maxLoadableImageWidth, maxLoadableImageHeight, maxLoadableImageFileSize tags in SsOption.ssop file.

Improvements

    1. Curve Editor: Now vertical and horizontal zoom by wheel is synchronized.
      Horizontal zoom works as previous when pushing Shift key.
      Set syncXYZoom to zero in SsOption.ssop file if you want to turn back the behavior.
    2. Curve Editor: Supported flexible zoom for Vertex Deformation, Color Blend and alpha.
    3. Curve Editor: Now curve handle can move over minimum or maximum line.
    4. Curve Editor: Initial frame position is synchronized with Frame Control when opened.
    5. Curve Editor: Moved attribute change box from left to right
    6. Curve Editor: Interpolation type can be changed when mouse pointer is not on key marker.
    7. Curve Editor: Current frame bar is synchronized with playing animation when Curve Editor is active.
    8. Curve Editor: Horizontal scrollbar moves automatically when current frame is moved on Frame Control.
    9. Curve Editor: Widened the range to recognize left-click between frames. (Improved moving frame by left-click and cancel selection)
    10. Curve Editor: Selection can be cancelled by left-click over minimum or maximum line.
    11. Instance: Prevents missing link much better.
      1. 1. When loading: If an instance which has a missing link to souce anime is found, output warning and instance part will not convert to NULL part and keep source anime name.
      2. 2. When saving: Source anime name is preserved when the souce anime is not in a project.
      3. 3. An instance can re-link and restores animation when ssae file which has the missed source anime dropped onto SpriteStudio or added via “Project” -> “Add existing file…”.
    12. Reference Cell: Prevents missing link much better.
      1. 1. When saving ssae: Reference cell name is preserved even if the cell is missing in a project.
      2. 2. A reference cell key can re-link and restores animation when ssce file which has the missed cell dropped onto SpriteStudio or added via “Project” -> “Add existing file…”.
    13. Attribute: Reduced drawing load.
      Now relative value box only shows up when an attribute get focused.
    14. File loading: Warning message clearly specifies a way to handle when an index of cellmap is out of list.

Fixes

  • Curve Editor: Current frame mislocates the frame before when current frame changes on Frame Control.

  • Frame Control: Attribute contents are not updated although current part is changed when clicking eye or lock icon.
  • Layout: IK control is corrupt.
  • Layout: No effects by changing value on Attribute after “Exclude child selection”.

  • Layout: Can not select guide(red circle) when re-grouping after rotating grouped parts by guide(red-circle) on Layout.
  • Cell Map: Overwrite a cell created before unintentionally when pushing arrow key to adjust its position after selection.
