minimonk Posted July 30, 2005 Report Share Posted July 30, 2005 (edited) As for .hel files, you will need to use MONOmation studio FS v1.0.6. The software is free and you can obtain it [here] if interested.← Anyone know how to set the width and height of the animation in MONOmation? Or do I just need to work in the top left (120x36) area, so that it will fit on the E507's screen? Thanks!

0 minimonk Posted August 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 Were you able to utilize MONOmation with ease?←Well, it wasn't much easier than befre when all the menu items were appearing as question marks. I kind of go by the shortcut letters that appear in the menu to guess what the commands are. There are not that many and the application is pretty easy to figure out, especially if you have used a variety of web animation software like Flash, Director, ImageReady, etc...Either way it is nicer to have the Japanese text display correctly for learning purposes. I haven't made any nice screens for the E507 yet, but when I do, you know I'll be posting them here first! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as I receive the Azure Blue E507, I will try creating some animation as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only folders available seem to be NWWM (in which there are only the files BRWLIST.DAT and FNOTABLE.DAT) and OMGAUDIO.. Any ideas?Thanks!

0 Yoni45 Posted December 25, 2005 Report Share Posted December 25, 2005 alright, now that i have a bit more time heh...2nd blue button from the left hand side moves onto the "next frame" (for example, 4 frames total, ur on frame 2, it'll move onto frame 3), or it creates a new frame if ur on the last frame (for example, 4 frames total, ur on frame #4, it'll create a new frame, #5)... using the bar on the top u can move through the frames one by one... 40 frames lasted about 3-4 seconds on the player...

The 2nd from the right deletes the current frame, and the farthest right adds another frame. I've also figured out that you can have no more than 80 frames.

Question
minimonk
Anyone know how to set the width and height of the animation in MONOmation? Or do I just need to work in the top left (120x36) area, so that it will fit on the E507's screen?
Thanks!
