If you have QUESTIONS, its best to ask on either the FAQs page or better yet, make a post on the Activity section of the website.
How do I download stuff for the app and actually use it I downloaded stuff and i dont know how to find it
Yeah, pretty much what AnimatorStudios said. His is just a more in-depth explanation than what is on the FAQ page.
here is a tip (IOS ONLY). get your charger and remove the outlet piece on the end and it will look like a USB then plug that to your computer. then download the stickfigure you want and go to the search option to find “downloads” then if you see the name of te specific stickfigure you wanted, go to iTunes and click the IOS thingy o the top left, in other words it looks like the device you are using, click it then click “apps”, find it cause I forgot. then scroll down and you will find the section which shows apps that can be connected with iTunes, then find the stick nodes then click it and finally click add and find the stickfigure by typing “.nodes” after that click it then wait 1 to 3 seconds and then disonnect your device. and at last go to your stick nodes then press “import stickfigure” and keep on scrolling until you find the name of the file you got from this website. tap “import” and thats all 🙂
HOPE IT HELPED 😀
Im setto animz from youtube, and i have to say im impressed with stick nodes :p
Its a pretty good program although i prefer pivot 🙂
You prefer Pivot?
I’m sorry, but I’m going to have to ban you now.
Hi there I just started using this app yesterday and I made a short animation in under 2 hours I’m impressed by this app
#Rekt
Lmao, obviously Ralph is just joking.
I think he needs to dial the sarcasm back for his users because most of them are younger and also aren’t aware that he’s a sarcastic ass-hat yet.
I was?
Ps I have no idea what pivot is so don’t tell me
Hey can you make a discount or it free for a short amount of time,for me it is hard to come by with money.ps:+ I started up a YouTube channel (no joke)(not copy cating)a year or two ago and it is not succeeding(if you don’t believe me check out my channel “gaming dayz”) if you reply or do that I will be thankful(if you do tell me the date of discount/free day thx ; )
Hello. I just wanted to say that there should be an option to pass a project from the free app to the pro app. I need this because I just got the pro app and my 2 projects are in the free app.
Hey Guy.
I assume you’re on iOS, correct? Android doesn’t have this problem because apps can read/write to public folders and I have Stick Nodes and Stick Nodes Pro using the same folder.
On iOS, however, each app is given its own private folder to store stuff. As a result, the Free projects are in the “Free” folder, and the Pro projects are in the “Pro” folder.
You can move them, though.
Connect your device to your computer, open iTunes, go to “Apps” tab, then scroll down to “File Sharing”. Find “Stick Nodes” on the left, click it, and find the project(s) you want on the right. Select the project(s) you want and save them to your computer.
Next, find “Stick Nodes Pro” on the left, click it. Use the “Add” button to add the projects you just downloaded into the list.
And you’re done. You’ve essentially copied the projects from the Stick Nodes folder to your computer and then moved them from there to the Stick Nodes Pro folder.
Can you do a tutorial of how to import pivot stickfigures to sticknodes?
Well, it’s kind of simple no? Just import them like you do normal Stick Nodes .NODES files.
Oh okay, and I have been trying to submit many stickfigures over the past few weeks, and even some of my really good ones have not been appearing. I tested my RHG Rash before I submitted, but it never came through. I put a lot of effort into this, and I don’t know why it is not appearing. So I will submit it one more time and I hope it comes through. I know it is not asking for a tutorial but yeah
Thanks
Yeah sorry, I can get a bit backlogged going through all of the stickfigure submissions. Probably will come across yours in the next batch I do.
Yay! I promise it will be good!I am thinking of uploading a stickpack! Wait, how dl you dl that?
Oh and sadly the pivot stks won’t download on my samsung galaxy note???????????
What do you mean they won’t download? As in, they won’t download at all or they do download but you can’t import them into Stick Nodes?
I got it sorted, and can you make it so we can upload .stks from pivot 3.0 and higher? Also, could you make the node limit higher for larger devices and lower for smaller devices?
Ah, you ran into that issue I assume.
I’d love to, but I need to honor the request by Peter Bone to keep Pivot 3+ files exclusive to Pivot, so I won’t be adding that, sorry.
Also, that’s an interesting idea (the node limit) but I don’t think it’ll work. Well, it’d work, but then what if someone creates/submits a stickfigure with 400 nodes, for example. I can’t allow someone with a smaller/less powerful device go and download that, as their node limit would be 256 (or whatever).
It’d segment the user base of stickfigures and I really don’t want to introduce that, you know?
It won’t let me import a figure. it just takes me to Evernote. And then i can’t import it to stick nodes.
Hey Aiden.
What are you doing exactly? Are you following the instructions on the FAQ page?
