This Bug appears only in frame editor and sprite editor.
When drawing couple of frames, then clicking OK. The active dissapears from the frame and cannot be in anyway undone.
It's sometimes recreated and it's very annoying.
Version of MMF2 dev : 257.12
Ah, yes, that bug. I was wondering when someone other than me was going to finally encounter it. I've found this one quite annoying. It really needs to get fixed (before MMF2.5 (because of how severe it is)).Quote:

I think the picture editor needs to be opened for long enough. Try making 32 unique directions for 3 animations (they can be solid-colored boxes to save time, but that's the best way I can think of re-creating the issue), for example (it doesn't have to be that much (unless they are just solid-colored boxes, then you might have to do around that much)). I know this one is going to take a while to find, so you might want to try making a game while you're at it (basically, insert an active object, make all of the animations that you plan on making for it, then click the OK button (make sure to export all the images first, just in case the issue happens)). I'm sorry that there isn't an easier way, but I can't think of anything else. It seems to only happen for objects that don't already have events, though (at least from my experience).Quote:

Create an Active without any events
Open sprite/picture editor
make couple of frames (7, 8?) (you can doodle on them)
The sprite editor has to be opened quite long
click ok
After that, it should bug the active and make it dissapear
P.S My dad found this bug by accident, he was animating a fire, but when he clicked OK then the active was gone for some reason
Are you sure you didn't accidentally the hotspot really far away?
Yes, since the object doesn't even show up in the object list, or the event editor. Also, un-doing the edit does nothing.Quote:

Place an active
Draw a few frames or dont doesnt matter
Play animation
Press undo on your keyboard, instead of undoing what you drawned last on the object, it will undo the frame editor deleting the object...
I presume its most likely because the picture editor looses focus when playing the animation.
Aha! That's gotta be it! I think that is exactly what the bug is! I'll check to make sure, but that sounds like the issue...Quote:

Ouch, thanks for the detailed info, I'll fix it asap.
