MMF 1.5 sprite editor kicks TGF / MMF2's BUTT TO HELL!!

 
By a route obscure and lonely,
Haunted by ill angels only,
Where an Eidolon, named night,
On a black throne reigns upright,
I have reached these lands but newly
From an ultimate dim Thule
From a wild clime that lieth, sublime,
Out of space
Out of time.

Its better but I'm constantly finding new bugs. As in:

1. The vertical scrollbar in the storyboard editor doesn't work. At all.
2. Sometimes, when I copy and paste an image from one animation frame to another, it pastes it again when I try and drag the recently pasted image to its required position.
3. Constant problems with layers, I don't know where to begin.

Yeh I'm experiencing problems with layers too.
And Chris about the images pasting when you relocate them - make sure you arn't holding CTRL when you are relocating images as they will duplicate and paste another. I only seem to get that when I press CTRL so might be the case for you

I'm also experiencing a lot of bugs with it - nothing extremely important, just small annoying things. A lot of them have been fixed for the next build (which hasn't been released yet).

MMF2 actually killed a game I just started on by first making every object a "bad object" so I lost all the the code and then it made the frame a "bad frame" so I lost all the gfx. But at least I was able to work on a game in it for more than 4 hours which makes it about 200% better than MMF1.5.

Oh yeah and I am back to good old TGF again.

Not pressing CTRL

Another bug I keep finding:

I've created folders to store my objects in. However, I cannot transfer them back to the "default" place. I can, though, CLONE them by opening up a frame and seeing its list of contents in the Workspace Toolbar, by dragging them from the folder to the toolbar (does that make sense?). The only way I can move an object is to delete it and create a new one.

Only layer problem I found so far is that some objects won't hide, like the Windows native ones (edit object, list object etc). Guess they could look into that a bit more.

That's the problem with Clickteam, they don't really make bad software, they just release things with a lot of bugs, and if, and only if it sells WITH the bugs, they fix the bugs.

Take jamagic for example, it'd be great if they hadnt release it with all the bugs and lack of support, and instead of fixing it, they called it a "problem", and eventualy erased it from the map.

I was hoping the new MMF would get rid of a lot of old bugs, like when you tell one specific object to move 1 pixel down, it'll move down, but when you tell it to stop, all the objects of the same type suddenly stop. And it sometimes happens, on some comps, so it's hard to fix .

Sometimes I wonder if they put it in intentionally to sell more copies. Like when people buy TGF to save instead of KNP, and MMF to get more than 250 objects, and MMF 1.5 to get 26 alterable values, and MMF 2 to get the animation editor that they messed up in MMF from TGF.

I heard there's a discount if you've owned a previous Clickteam product. How do you get one of those?

Go to http://www.clickteam.com/eng/upgrade.php and enter your details to find your discount.

I'm slightly baffled by all the layer issues that everyone is having - I've never had a problem with them.

The only problem is that If I try to paste an object to BG on a layer that isn't the bottom one, it starts to paste, but the paste doesn't scroll.

The only problem is the in-built platform movement. You can slide and stay suspended in mid-air when you crouch and move.

Oh, jesus I wish that was the "only problem." Then I'd never have any problems.
