February 15th – Version 2.2.4 came out the other day for Android and iOS, but I’m not making a new post for it, nothing new, just some backend changes and tweaks. However, I did add one quick feature for iOS users, you can now listen to music from background apps while animating!
New year, new updates. Here we go, starting off with 2.2.2. (This update is now out for both Android and iOS users!)
Version 2.2.3 is a quick hotfix for an issue introduced in 2.2.2.
This update still isn’t a “major” one, but there’s some new interesting features along with bug fixes.
I think the above image sums up the main points nicely, but here’s the full changelog for your eyeballs.
Changelog
- New button on all frame thumbnails, opens menu to allow you to copy multiple frames.
- Load a stickfigure when in “Creation Mode” to be used as the background, for use as a guide.
- Textfields now pan with stickfigures, and are also now included in onion skin.
- Segment angle can now be set with +/- buttons.
- When not playing animation, tap “Stop” button once to reset view, double-tap to set view to camera position.
- If you experience crashes when opening a large project, there is now an option to open less of a project (less frames loaded). See the “Open project” window for more information.
- New sounds, search “222” in the sound import window (Pro only).
- Many small bug and crash fixes.
The biggest new feature of this update is for iOS users, who were very restricted in the way they could get new MP3 files (only with the help of a computer and iTunes). Now things are different, and easier – but there’s two different ways of opening an MP3 file with an iOS device.
The above image shows the two different methods.
- If the sound file is coming anywhere besides a website/website browser, you can probably select it (long-press) and “Import with Stick Nodes Pro”.
- If you’re downloading a sound file from a download link on a website, it’s a little more involved, and this is because iOS simply doesn’t let users download MP3 files. But the “solution” is simple, all you have to do is type “stknds://” before the URL and run it. Stick Nodes Pro will open and prompt you to download the MP3 files.
So if the URL is http://example.com/sound.mp3, these are valid ways to get the file:
- stknds://http://www.example.com/sound.mp3
- stknds://www.example.com/sounds.mp3
That should be a big help for iOS users. As for where to find sounds, I still recommend just Googling for it, like “fart mp3”, “oof mp3”, “do u no de wae mp3” etc…
Do remember, this method will allow you to download LARGE MP3 files, but Stick Nodes won’t let you use these large files in your animations. So don’t bother downloading music files or any files over 256kb.
Okay, I’m gonna go now, hope you guys enjoy the up-… SOMEBODY TOUCHA MY SPAGHET!!!

Good.
I like how you can make new sounds.
ITS HARD AS HELL THO I CANT EVEN FIND A WEBSITE THAT ENDS IN .MP4 REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
mp3 you mean
https://www.soundjay.com/
This update isn’t BULLLLLL.Im trying to download the dang sounds,but ITS NOT working.I need to get sounds from Hyuns dojo,Andy I know you did download some of the sounds from there Ralph.I need an actually better example.
Then, youre an idiot who cant read
Lmao,you gotta chill.Plus,if I’m typing,how can you just assume I can’t read,you freaking moron.Im only saying that I needed a more detailed explanation,or at least a tutorial video,because I’m trying all these options,and I’m not getting jack crap.
1. I joke i joke, i kid i kid
2. It might be because the file is too long or big. Try recording a sound file and see if you can import it into the app
Well,the file I’m trying teying to do is a simple punch sound effect,from stickpage.
what sound are you trying to download exactly? is it a URL that ends with .mp3
if so, change http in the url to stknds
run that, SN opens, sound downloads
only reason at this point it wouldn’t be in the list is if it’s over 256kb
I’ll try that again.I uploaded the sound effect to my documents app,then tried uploading to media fire,and Dropbox,and izip.
And actually,no it’s not a URL that ends with mp3.Its an actual thing I searched up,then I clicked on an actual link to the site,then I click another link,and then I see a full list of sound fx packs.I clicked on one that said “punches”,and then that led me to media fire.I clicked the download button and it took me to a file background.When I clicked open,I saw the open in sticknodes,but the sounds weren’t broken down individually(If you submit it to sticknodes,it won’t work)So then I converted them to documents.It didn’t provide a “upload to sticknodes”option,so I uploaded them to gmail.They submit as this example : punch.wav
Thats why I need more meat to the explanation.Im already aware that some of the sounds that came for the V-cam update were from stickpage/hyuns dojo,but I needed to know how to submit them to sticknodes myself.
JESUS CHRIST this was a long reply
lol yes, but it helped
okay look, you’re downloading what seems to be a ZIP full of WAV files
if you were to open the ZIP in Documents or iZip or another iOS app, all the WAV files would come out there (or something idk how those apps work exactly)
now…they’re WAVs…WAV =/= MP3 so it won’t work
if they were a bunch of MP3 files, at that point what you would do is long-press the MP3 file and “Import into Stick Nodes Pro”
—-
what you were doing at one point was “Import into Stick Nodes Pro” on the whole ZIP file
that doesn’t work for sounds, Stick Nodes thinks ZIP = stickfigure pack
—-
long story short, you have WAV files, that won’t work with SN
you could (if it exists on ios) get a WAV-to-MP3 converter and convert the files, then import them into SN Pro
Yeah,I found that sound pack so can’t be imported to SN.Ill try the “Wav to MP3” thing.Thanks!
Oooh, another idea for downloading sounds is Zedge.
@ralph here’s an idea for the next update, so my idea is flipping segment and children in creation mode like in stickfigure making mode and also, great update 😀
Lol. That’s been a thing. Flip for segments is under Special Segment Tools.
:O
Wait, I meant like flipping segments and children in the animation making mode
@ralph ^
Ah
Yeah that’s not a thing lol
I belive this is very needed. It’s just two buttons but they won’t force us to make another stick with flipped children for some projects we might use it on.
Yee
Look, an intelligent guy.
Yee Yee Yee Yee
@berke381 read my caption, is reeleh tree
… You forgot to mention the fact that Zordoron Rez told you about the issue
… yeah that’s right, I saw the Tweets.
HEY RALPH. The whole text onion skin thing is great, but can we make texts transparent yet?
nope
🙂
Hey Ralph I have a problem I can’t import any Stick figures
That I found on this website? I hope u can help
99.999999% of the time
it’s because you don’t have the latest SN version
