No updates in one year, and the github repo has been switched to read only mode. It looks like we need a new bunch of brave volunteers to keep our most important tool from becoming abandonware!

I am with you, but my C++ is terrible. Wish this was in C#, JavaScript, Python, etc, as I think weâd have a lot more community involvement.
OFS is amazing, but it is aging and canât easily be improved.
@tanasou This solved my problem with it not opening. https://discuss.eroscripts.com/t/openfunscripter-a-scripting-tool-3-2-0-release/87447/139?u=burtreynolds
I had put the .csv file on the C:\Users.âŚ\AppData\Roaming\OFS\OFS3_data\lang but I canât see it in OFS. Did I do something wrong?
Is there some way to select a bunch of points and randomly move them all differently up or down 2-3 positions?
OFS tells me on every start that ffmpeg.exe is missing and wants to download it but fails to do so. I disabled my firewall and windows defender but the result stays the same. On my windows 11 laptop it works just fine (I have 10 on my desktop pc). I already installed the ffmpeg libary for audacity some time ago but that didnât help with OFS
Does anybody know if OFS runs in an virtual environment (QEMU), Windows 11, too, because deep in githubs comments I found a note that openGL would be needed. I"ve tried and the Program doesnât even try to start.
I donât have any Windows Computer but I would love to use OFS. My Mac has apple silicon and OFS was not compiled for Windows for ARM sadly 
BTW whats with the creator of the App, why did he close the repo? Insights enybody?
Maybe we should greenfield it in Svelte or something. Read a json file, display a myriard of points, make them selectable, apply some operations on them⌠things like thatâŚ
Try running it as administrator. If it still doesnât work just manually place ffmpeg.exe in: C:\Users\ your user \AppData\Roaming\OFS\OFS3_data\
Iâm having the same issue, none of the versions work for me. 2.0 opens for a second then closes, 3.0+ versions donât even open. Tried the ffmpeg.exe solution but no luck. The OFS.log file when opened just states âpackage failed updates, dependancy or conflict validation.â Did you happen to find a way?
There is one function I would need alot mainly after motion detection when the camera shifted or the actors change who is in motion. Then the recorded motion shifts height. This happens quite a lot.
I think many of us would like a function where you mark top/bottom points and press the keypadnumber to set all points to a value. The workaround atm is to move those points to the borders with shift/arrow up,down but that does just take too much time and gets boring fast.
Hey Everyone. I have a feeling that this project has been abandoned for quite some time, but does anyone know if this program works on ARM based CPUâs? A buddy of mine recently gifted me a M1 Macbook (which is obviously not Intel based) and I wanted to emulate the software in a windows virtual machine. Only downside is that since OFS is x86 based I feel like I may have already answered my own question. Thoughts? Solutions? Workarounds? Iâm all ears.
Tricky.
Only real solution I know for running Windows ARM on M1 Macs is Parallels:
https://machow2.com/parallels-review/
Will cost you $$$ and there is no guarantee it will work 100%.
An older Intel Mac would be WAY easier. Many you can install Windows 7, 10 (even 11) natively.
Only other solution would be to run it on a remote native Windows machine and control it remotely from the M1 Mac. That way youâd have several options:
https://machow2.com/windows-on-m1-mac/
There was one coder working on a version that ran on Apple M1 ARM processors via Rosetta and also had instructions in the thread if you wanted to compile your own:

Good luck!

Looks like this project is no longer supported, completely understandable as the creator doesnât profit from this.
If by any chance the creator reads this, I hope he can come up with a model where he sells each major release of OFS, like Adobe used to do with CS5, CS6 etc.
So for example OFS V2 will be $60, and if he releases V3 with more features down the line it will be another $60.
I do need the long term support and am more than willing to pay a fair price for it. I know there are plenty others just like me. I really donât want this to fall into abandonwareâŚ

I have good news to report on that front. Considering the code is open source, I actually just contracted out a developer today to start working on an ARM version of this for Windows 11. Donât know if thatâs something you would be interested in, but if so shoot me a DM and maybe we could help each other out on that front.

Have some question that jumped me while scripting:
-
is it possible to change the distance to a point that will be replaced by a point instead of a new one? I would like to make that distance a point is grabbed and moved, larger. There are too many close points I have to manually remove that I feel should be moved. It should also be of different height not only same height so only be checked horizontally. Maybe a button to enable/disable?
-
if an area is marked and you choose a point by double clicking logic says you want to do something to that point, not the marked area. Your intention for example of deleting that marked point will delete the marked area instead of the point. A double click on a point should unmark the selection. If you unmark unintentionally you can get back by ctrl-z and have it marked again. So marking is not lost.
The authorâs discontinuation of support may not necessarily be a matter of money. I think he may have more important projects to do. In fact, I think paid subscriptions are good. There is no need to immediately solve the needs, but gradually implement them.
Given that you make money of selling scripts!
If you release scripts for free then a paid model may discourage to continue releasing scripts for free or you might even stop releasing scripts.

Pure open source is not a good thing, such like the issue with log4j author. My opinion is that the free scripts I publish are good and I carefully create them, while the paid scripts are better. For software, the free version is available, while the paid version has more advanced features
That may be true but I would not be willing to pay a monthly fee for OFS. Once, yes, around 20$ but not more. Scripting means you give the community something precious - your time. I think OFS was generated the same he gave his time to make the software.
