Hello, sorry if this has already been asked but…
I am new to OFS and wondered if it is possible to work on more than ne project at once? I have completed my first script and rendered it but now that I have closed it in OFS, I can’t seem to re-open it, for example if I wanted to go back and edit any of it.
I am assuming there is a way to work on more than one project at a time so any help with pointing me in the right directioni with this would be most appreciated.
Hello!
So it works like this: When you work on a script and you save it (ctrl + s), OFS saves it in its own file system, called OFSP file. This is your project you are working on, this is not the script yet. If you are done with a script you do the follow: File → Export → Export active script → save it where you want.
Some tips:
Make a WIP folder, where you put in the video you are currently working on. Once you start working on it and you save it, the OFSP file will save in that folder as well. Double click on the OFSP file, which has the same name as the video, and OFS together with the video opens. When you are done with a video, move the video and funscript out of the WIP folder, put in the new video you want to work on.
If you can’t open the OFSP file via double click yet, do the follow: Right click on the OFSP file → Properties → Open with → click change → find the OFS.exe → save it → now the OFSP file always opens OFS when you double click it.
When you finished your script, did you export it?
Thanks for your reply, in hindsight I think the problem is that I clicked ‘Close Project’ under ‘File’ and it appears that once you do this, it does not seem possible to work on it anymore. Luckily my script and project was finished so it’s not a big deal, but if there is a way to get it working again, that would be useful for me to know cause I can see me closing down a project by accident.
You are welcome.
I am not sure what “close project” does. Does it delete the OFSP file? If so, then it might be lost.
I would recommend to always start the video, work on the script, save it asap and there is no way something can get lost. Make to sure to save it every now and then while working on it as well.
You can always open your script by making sure the video and script have the same filename (excluding file extension) and are in the same folder.
Drag and drop either the video or script file into OFS and it’ll load them so you can keep working on the script.
When I clicked ‘Close Project’ the OFSP file is still there, but wont open for me to work on. Don’t really see the point in this function to be honest.
Thanks, sounds like a good workaround and I will keep this is in mind.
Weird. I never used the close project options. But as long as video and OFSP / funscript file are in the same folder and have the same name, it should open.
After you do “close project” you can open another funscript or video to work on. It will then read everything from the .ofsp file with the same name. Of course you can also reopen the project you just closed in the same way. That is how I switch between multiple projects.
Thank you for clarification!
To add to everything that’s been said. If at any point you lose the project file or it gets corrupted, if you have Auto-Backup on, then check the backup folder. (Under Windows it’s “%APPDATA%\OFS\OFS3_data\backup”) There you’ll find a list of folders. Open the newest one of the project you’re looking for, copy the file to the correct folder and rename the file-extension to .ofsp before opening it. I’ve retrieved progress like this more than once.
