Hi! Is there any ETA on when the big update it out. This program is so so so cool!!!!
Hi, thank you so much for your support. I’m working on it right now. I’ll post an article in the next few days (if all goes well) with a build.
On the other hand, there are so many major changes that this new version won’t be backward compatible with the older ones. If necessary, I could try to create a converter, but that would take me quite a while.
Fantastic software that does the core of what I'm looking for but I'm experiencing some pretty debilitating bugs that are messing with my ability to handle projects x.x
When I close it and re-open it a BUNCH of my nodes are just. all over the place. I've tried rearranging them again and saving, backing up the file, but whenever I open it again, some of them are shifted around or moved on top of each other. Its making it very difficult to follow my own narrative after putting so much time into getting it neatly organised. Is there a fix for this? It also seems like the menus don't do anything for me, it won't even let me quit using the menu. Finally, whenever I'm using a setter, it won't let me apply the numbers to it immediately, I have to click off and then click back on. When I do, any changes will then remove the ability to adjust values again.
This program would honestly be perfect for me I think if not for these issues.
Update: I think it might be something to do with moving multiple nodes at once. I have to manually position each individual node again that seems out of place, save and then when I re-open it I *think* its back where it ought to be.
Thanks for the comment. Right now, I’m working on a new version of Monologue that should be much more stable and will include a lot of new features. It’s taking me a long time, and I don’t know when I’ll be able to release it, but I hope it will meet your expectations. In the meantime, I’ll see if I can fix the issues you’re experiencing, but it’s been a long time since I’ve worked on this version.
No worries! I'm very excited for it! The software is already basically everything I want issues aside! Mostly I wanted to make you aware of the issues I was facing. I'm currently manually moving each box, one at a time which is a tedious process but otherwise its the best of the programs I've worked with so far o7 Wishing you the best in the next release!
This tool is super useful!!! Thank you!!! (ˊᗜˋ*) ♡
Thank you very much, that’s very kind! There should be some improvements in the coming months!
Exciting!!! Thank you for the update!
