DD Editor and Player 1.1.1.

Update! v.2. is available now! Read more about it here.

This release fixes some bugs caused crash or minor problems on some machines. 

Download your copy of 1.1.1. from the same url where you got the previous version. If you've lost the url, contact me on dynamicdungeons@gmail.com and I'll send you the download link. 

If you don't have the app yet, BUY IT NOW 

Don't forget that 1.x versions will work properly in HD resolution, you may find bugs in 4k. Set both of your display's resolution to 1920x1080.  (v.2.0. will be fully compatible with the 4k content) 

Stay tuned for 2.0. which is coming soon for free with several new features like the possibility of using tokens, animated props and particle effects.

Troubleshooting:

1. Problem:
Error message saying "This application requires a version of adobe AIR which cannot be found.."
or
Editor shows black screen on Windows.

Solution: VISUAL C++Redistributable pack" must installed under Windows systems. On some systems this pack should be installed manually. https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=48145
After installing the x86version, restart your system and the app. 

Other possible solution: Are you sure you decompressed the zipped file? It sometimes happen when you just enter to the zipped file and trying to launch and decompress only the executable file directly from the archive file, not all of the files. If the folder contains all of the files decompressed, it should work without any kind of installation of Adobe Air.

2. "Player Manager is waiting for Player..."

One of your displays is probably set to higher resolution then HD. Make sure, that you're using this version in 1920x1080.  (v.2.0. will be fully compatible with the 4k content)

3. Laggy/choppy playback on secondary display

If the video is fluid in your primary display and the problem only occurs on the extended secondary display, set your secondary display's refresh rate higher. 

4.  "Context 3d not available error"

Possibly your graphic card is not compatible with the application. If you have two graphic cards built in to your computer (integrated and dedicated) check if both card's drivers are up to date. Is your integrated graphic card enabled? 

4. Still image was cut and only part of the picture is visible

It's not a malfunction, the software will proportionally scale the image and show a 16:9 part of it. There are a lot of free on-line tool out there to crop a 16:9 part of your image, fe. https://croppola.com/

Comments

I just downloaded the program and the LOG directory is not in the sub directory. Also I have dragged and dropped the videos into the resources folder but they are still not showing up in the editor.

Aron

can you please update this player - so much work is needed.

Mick Chambers

Find your userfolder (default is user/DynamicDungeons/editor/resources) and make subfolders there and copy content there. On restarting the app the videos should be there on the left in folders. Or you can drag and drop any video from outside or load one by clicking on a place in the story matrix. If you are on Windows make sure you set the browsing filter to videos if you want to see the video files listed)

Dynamic Dungeons

i got the free tutorial but cannot seem to find a way to load files into it. all of the files that i purchased and downloaded seem to not show up on the list

so is there any way to get this to run on Chrome OS. Both download files not working on it.

Nevermind, I just saw my answer in the title of the video

Is this for windows only or is their a mac client for the editor?

Try to avoid special characters in the file names and “jpeg” extension. Use jpg instead. This problem usually occurs when the software can not generate thumbnails, because of an unsupported file format or a character in the filename. Can you please send me a screenshot on the content of your userfolder/DynamicDungeons/resources folder. dynamicdungeons@gmail.com

Dynamic Dungeons

Hi has anyone had any issues with the editor? ive set it up and run it and it works fine, but as soon as i unzip or put any files in the resources folder it crashes with the black screen problem and wont work after that?

Peter Seymour

Just found this and I absolutely love what you are doing! One question, will you support full screen on the Mac so the top title bar will be hidden? I can hide the MacOS menu bar per your instructions, but still see the "DynamicDungeonsPlayer" title bar. Keep up the great work, I'm happy to support this amazing content!

Eric Layton

done

Send me a screenshot plz and also the log file from your userfolder/DynamicDungeons/log to dynamicdungeons@gmail.com

Dynamic Dungeons

yes

The player manager only shows a still image to save gpu usage thats normal.

Dynamic Dungeons

Are you sure that both of your display was set to 1920x1080? And do you launch the manager first and then the player?

Dynamic Dungeons

hi, i bought the WIN DD EditorandPlayer 1.1.1 and when i launch the DD Player Manager, there is the message: waiting for Player... But I'm using this version in 1920x1080 resolution on my two displays. Can you help me? Thanks

I can't seem to get the Player Manager to work. I haven't needed it yet but would like to figure this out sooner rather than later. Has anyone had problems with a frozen image on the player manager?

Sorry to ask but just to clarify, if we buy the Editor (latest release) do we get map packs with it? Or do we add packs via the tiered rewards? In such that we add more modular pieces by becoming a patron? Thanks!

Seemed to be working well in the old version, so I am not sure what has changed.

Having a problem with the new version. Package files made in the old version will not load at all. Made a new package using the editor and the player will load only a very low resolution, zoomed in, still image and the video does not play. Any idea what is wrong here?

Hi, would it be possible (as an option) to have the editor and player set out the scenes/tiles etc in portrait mode rather than landscape as that would match my tv's orientation on the table. At present the tv view has to be flipped into landscape mode which makes using a mouse to navigate on it difficult to say the least. Also, it would be great if the Manager worked on two layers: firstly an overview of the whole dungeon, then click to open up a specific tile for removing FOW etc., pretty much like the editor works if that makes sense? Cheers, and loving your work so far, Simon

I'm sorry, accidentally a test version was uploaded which won't loop the videos, the fix is coming later today. All of you will be notified when it's ready to download.

Dynamic Dungeons

I posted in the general community section but this question is more fitting here. I was making a Desert test scene and noticed when the videos hit their end length the screen just goes black unless I advance the scene. Am I missing something that they aren't repeating?

You will have instant access to all previously released maps, which you can download without making any additional payments. When joining, you can choose a donation tier for future releases.

Dynamic Dungeons

Hi Julien, thank you, yes you'll be able to use tokens and animated props and particle effects in v.2.0.

Dynamic Dungeons

ok. the way you explained it is kinda convoluted. I want to know what I'm paying for. if i become a 5$ member does that mean that I HAVE to pay 5$ for each map released or can i do this al a carte style and pay for the maps that i can use?

Chris

Hi, Will you set up a token system on this software in the future? Thanks for your work your maps are beautiful.

The current version is a HD player. Did you try it with any of the UHD maps?

Dynamic Dungeons

Tamas, is it normal that the player reduces the quality of the videos? Im comparing the player version vs the raw video, and it is like dvd vs blue ray

Francisco Sapene

The only thing I can find in my email history for the Dynamic Dungeon editor is a paypal receipt showing I paid for it. There was no link on that email. If I remember right, I may have been forwarded to a download page after I bought it. I also never got an email with a link to the latest version. Could you re-send the email, or message me the newest download link? Thanks!

Second this! I would love to have my stories on my dropbox.

James Engel

Any chance the save/load folder directory can be configurable? That way we can control where things get saved and loaded to if we have files on separate drives?

Sorry for the inconvenience, I’ve just sent you it again as a patreon message. (Google gave me tons of delivery errors)

Dynamic Dungeons

hello, I apologize, but I am having the same issue Jason had. I received the email, but there was no obvious URL to click. I purchased the 1. version and can't wait to try the new version. Could you please send me an email and make it painfully obvious what I need to click to get the free upgrade. Thanks a ton! Keep up the great work!!

chris decker

We can try it with teamviewer if you think. Send me pm.

Dynamic Dungeons

I am SO bad at making this work. I swear I need to screenshare to get some help to make the darn thing dowload correctly. I'm sure it's not hard... I just can't seem to figure it out.

Water is Life

Thanks T3nac1ous! Also I second the scalable manager window!

James Engel

Is it possible to make the Player Manager Window bigger? Running on laptop to TV & the manager window is a little small. Thanks for all the great work!

T3nac1ous

They seem to all be working fine :)

T3nac1ous

Do we have to redo any maps we created in 1.0 or will they work fine?

James Engel

I’ve just sent out an email to everyone, but I’m going to send you again as a Patreon message, right now.

Dynamic Dungeons

Where would we find the "same url" from 1.x? I purchased 1.x but can't find the download link.

Jason
