KISEKAE FAQ/Tips/HOW TOs

Okay, I noticed some people just don't get it. 
Please read this page before sending me any questions. 






** How to DELETE a part from the stage

Some parts are Drag and droppable.  To delete a part, move it to the right edge of the screen. 






** Can I download this app?

Sorry, no.  Currently, this system requires network connection.
(i can't make this a local application ONLY because i can't figure out how to load an image, then resize it, set location, rotate and apply a PNG mask using java script. Someone please send me a code sample!)





** Example : How to make the "dark-red" body

(1) set the Lower Layer color to red




(2) set the Upper Layer color to black



(3) set the Upper Layer's  Trans Level to 50%









** The Parts Rotation Button

Click the right-side or left-side of this button to set an angle, then load a part. It's not a great interface but at least it works.













*** I can't switch the wood materials
*** I can't see my DIY image ??
|
You can't see the wood layer (=DIY layer) if you put any opaque color finish above it. (just like our real world).
For example, the Strat body consists of one Standard Color/Material layer (wood layer) and six finishing color layers like below.
So, if the Base Lower or Base Upper color is opaque, you won't be able to see the wood layer.







*** DIY Image : Use your own image

You can specify any JPG, GIF, and PNG images to be used as a DIY (Do It Yourself) material. 
(you can't use an image on your local device)

Internally, the DIY image is treated as the lowest wood layer (Standard Color/Material layer. See above).








*** MOBILE : Will the system work on my mobile device?

Who knows.  Just try!

* make sure you use the latest browser (very important)
* you'll need a touch pen



*** MOBILE : If a guitar is too big and the lower part of its body is not visible..

Click the "Tool Bar" button at the bottom right corner to hide the bottom tools.



(i couldn't use the Canvas layer scaling as it caused a lot of issues)




** MOBILE : Sometimes the screen layout doesn't look right

Fig.1



Fig.2   Aghaaa!!



Unfortunatelly it happens since this is not a native iOS/Android app but a HTML5 Canvas application.
Mankind went to the Moon and sending rovers to the Mars but we still don't know the current browser's window size.
There are some ways to retrive the size but it seems none of them can return the accurate values in all situations.
(especially wrong after the brower zoom in and out actions)


So here are what I am doing when I use my iPhone.


Remedy for Fig.1

Hold the phone vertically to rotate the stage, then hold it back to horizontal position.


Remedy for Fig.2

Fastly, try to avoid to encounter this situation. When you save a preset, some browsers will automatically zoom in the text input area.
If that happened, after you saved the preset, don't just click the big 'zoomed-in' CLOSE button. Instead, manually zoom-out the screen
and then click the CLOSE buttton.

If your screen became something like the Fig.2, try to click the little 'up-and-down' arrow icon below the 'Tool Bar' button.
It will open a half-transparent dummy whitish screen to let you manually zoom in or out to to fix the size.
I can't guarantee if it works though..
