Character creation side image issue

[Tessiellation]

I've managed via Baiyu's tutorial to make a character creator, sort of.

My issue is that, once I've made the character, it doesn't save the creation to the side image.

I'm not sure what codes you guys would need...

Here's my definition of the character at least:

Code: Select all

image side august = LayeredImageProxy("august", Transform(crop=(0, 0, 497, 400), zoom=0.7, xoffset=-50))
#end sideimage

#begin sideimage_name
define au = Character("Augustina", image="august")

I'm planning to change out the character as soon as this is solved :S I'm just desperate to get something to work right now.

Have you defined the original layered image before proxying it for the side image? Also, you should look at how you are changing the layers of the original image to make sure you don't have conflicting tags. You can remove tags by using the following.

Code: Select all

show au tag #au_tags = ["tag"]
show au -tag tag1 tag2 #au_tags = ["tag1","tag2"]

Hello, sorry to ask, but where exactly do I put this code? Also, do I replace the "tag" with f.x "hair"?

But my layered images shouldn't have have conflicting tags.

I was just demonstrating how to remove tags. Since the side image is a proxy (copy) of an image, could you also provide the definition of the layered image the side image is proxying?

Yes, of course

Let's see. Ok, so this is the whole definitions file

I've tried replacing LayeredImageproxy with "Doll" but it does nothing >.< I really lost at how i get the side image to change right now.

Wait, I just changed it to doll and it worked this time O.O I'm baffled.
