How can i get more sounds?
Know how to import stickfigures now do that but use mp3 sounds and you have more sounds
I know, but for example if I want a sound, what not in the libary, and i want to download it or something… What can I do?
thats what you do
You look up the sound you want, use Google and just search for “fart sound effect”, download an MP3 file you like, and then move it to the /Stick Nodes/sounds/ folder in Android or use iTunes and move it into the Stick Nodes app.
Can I add a full music to the animation?
no
What Onehighjump said, files are too big to be properly managed with how Stick Nodes handles memory, so I limited sound files to 256kb.
You can reduce the filesize of music to that size by reducing the quality or cropping only 5-10 seconds of it, but those are your only options.
thank you 🙂
How do I slow down the animation speed
Do you know what FPS is?
Under “Animation Tools”, make the FPS number lower.
Could you do it where you can slow certain parts but then have the rest normal, like a slow-motion?
If i import my pro Mp 4,its just pictures where they just have no animation ,its picuteres.I want to have an animation that works
Your MP4 is just a picture?
It’s probably the video player you’re using to play it. It should be a video, how are you opening it?
I m opening it with my android gallery
Video player
Nevermind,FTL won’t add opacity,maybe nexttime,well nice app,it’s the best.
Its the best. Although i suggest putting atleast 10 available sounds for free. Punch, fart,explosion, dragonball teleport, gunshot sniper, gunshot uzi (rapid tad tads), sword slash (wshing), sudden “fwoosh”, angry yell, and footsteps. Please. Atleast add only those to the next update for free.

Wat?
Instead of making a typing a paragraph of why I disagree, I used a playful meme instead.
No. No. No. Only the people who have the pro app will be able to use sounds. It’s Pro Only for a reason.
I’m pretty sure there are other ways to add sound (which I will not mention), but yea. I think sounds are one of the features that make people pay for it. Plus it might be hard to take out the import sounds feature so that non pro users can’t get new ones
And NEVER mention them. Keep the secret young child. Do you want to be disgrace to clan
the ways are

How do I dismember stick nodes?
Plz help
Real Answer:
Copy (or copy part and its children) the specific part of the stk., go and delete all the parts of stk. Which’ll leave the Main Node (Square). Paste, and if this applies to you: make parts of the stk static or not, all depends on you)
Jokey Joke Answer:
GO INTO THE CODE, WHICH IS LIKE IMPOSSIBLE CUZ RALPH HAS HIS SUPER SECRET SHIELD NAMED SEAN WHO DETECTS ALL INTRUDERS! Although, Ralph plans to remove it cuz everyone is afraid to enter the world of code in that *innocent* app.
Sean is no shield.
Sean would probably give it away for money.
