I wanna quickly give some advice to anyone who uses Aseprite and a screen tablet like XP Pen (XP Pen 13.3 pro in my case), but before I do I just wanna say that this software is lovely and that it can help add so much more personality to someone's streams, it's helped with mine so far.
Now, if you're like me you might've noticed that for some odd reason the arm portion will sometimes stop tracking Aseprite movements when using the tablet but not for the mouse. If you're specifically in the Spud Arm screen itself it will track with the tablet, but swapping over to certain software while using the tablet will cause it to stop tracking. It took me a bit to figure out how to get around it, but for using Aseprite, I recommend turning off the "Windows Ink" mode for the Tablet. For some reason beyond my limited understanding (I'm a pixel artist, not a programmer, so this stuff's beyond me), Windows Ink, Aseprite, and the Spud Arm don't all like to play nice with each other all at the same time. The 'Ink' mode doesn't seem to interfere with any other art program's 'spud compatibility' to my knowledge (Procreate seemed to work just fine with it), but Aseprite seems to throw a fit with it. Thankfully though, pen pressure isn't really important for Aseprite (if it's even used at all), so you're fine to turn it off.
Basically for all my fellow Aseprite users with Tablet Screens: Try turning off Windows Ink mode. It might help ya out.
question sorry! when i open the tablet up in obs i just get the green background with it? how can i just have the tablet? i tried doing the transparency little thing in obs but its not working :(
Great little program! I just wish there was a way to limit the degree to which the tablet hand projects left to right, since when I move my hand all the way to the right (I'm left-handed) it looks like my arm snapped off lol.
Thank you for making this tool. It has been incredibly helpful. I used to spend a lot of time making a tool like that, but the results weren't quite satisfactory. I truly appreciate!!
Hey, I need some help, please! Ever since I put in custom hand/tablet, the mouse tracker never properly follows exactly where the mouse is. It's always too high or too low, and I've tried readjusting the tablet settings many times but to no avail. Now, it's just made it WORSE because now the arm disconnects and moves all over the screen to follow the mouse instead of the hand, and the wrist is far off the hand-to-arm joint. Not sure how to fix this...
I have been able to change the hand sprite without issue but i cannot make the window go full screen. I don,t have that option, the maximize button is greyed out. I'm running windows 10 and I do have a two screen setup because i have a screen tablet if that changes anything.
No matter how I change the chroma key, the overlays appear mostly transparent on my stream. Is there a way to fix this? It shows correctly in the chroma key filter setting in OBS but then on the actual stream it's transparent.
**fixed I switched OBS to set the color key to magenta and made it the same in the settings note doc
Hello! Is there a way to only open the hand version window? i had a tablet && hand rigged on my live2d model already so I want to use this solely for the larger over the screen arm but I seem to not be able to close just ONE of the windows without it automatically closing the other.
i ve some trouble with my custom model , when i override my models always get those white marks on the wrist , i need help with that idk what's the problem.
Was having this problem too, but found a way to fix it. Originally I was using a "game capture" type source to have the arm on screen but after swapping to a "window capture" type source it seems to have fixed itself.
is it at all possible to change the pen tip pixel position for the tablet hand, not the big hand. like say i wanted to make a big feather quill pen, how would i get extra vertical space
There is an issue with this plugin and an App called Sketchbook Pro. When I use this app with eith of these tools both the Spud tablet and Spud Arm freeze on the screen while a stylus is in use. It's the only app currently that just just freezes both until I raise my hand off the screen.
I'm using a Cintiq Pro 32. Works perfectly with every software but this Sketchbook Pro Software.

Hey, I need some help, please! Since the customized hand/tablet is placed, the mouse tracker cannot keep up with the mouse exactly where it is
Thank you for this masterpiece!

não sei se é o só o meu… Mas…
Não sei por que, parece que fica travando e gargalando, isso é normal?
Is it possible to change from right hand to left hand?
Because I am left handed and I need to somehow to do it.
i dont think i will use a vtuber system, ¡but this is very cool!
I could use some help ^^"

nvm i understand after looking at the pics of the app. I have to maximize the other view for it to work.
It works great! Thank you!
i feel stupid but i figure I'll leave my post up in case someone else has a case of the dumb dumbs
how do i add the avatar thing like you did?
Occasionally in OBS, the tablet changes to the big hand
how do i fix that lmao
Hey, whenever I try to draw (I use a Wacom-One) the hand freezes up, which isnt really ideal, is there any way to fix this?
I noticed this to, but im using it on my macbook so its also not optimal for me.

Thanks you very much for this program! I'm having a lot of fun with it ^^
i ve some trouble with my custom model , when i override my models always get those white marks on the wrist , i need help with that idk what's the problem.
I did have that problem too and easily solved it by adding a small blur at the join ;)
Hey I've been struggling with it flashing on OBS - has this been solved?
Was having this problem too, but found a way to fix it. Originally I was using a "game capture" type source to have the arm on screen but after swapping to a "window capture" type source it seems to have fixed itself.
hello ! their is any update for left hand?
I think you can just flip it in the streaming program.
I don't think so it will still work as well because when u draw something on left, the hand will be on right :/
exactly, when I just flip the mouse tracker is in the wrong way. and if I flip the picture, its really cursed x'D
can anyone help? my window doesnt go full screen, and on twitch studio the hand doesnt show up at all, what can i do? thanks
You're welcome!
is it at all possible to change the pen tip pixel position for the tablet hand, not the big hand. like say i wanted to make a big feather quill pen, how would i get extra vertical space
For those who want macOS support you'll need Crossover to run the exe. It runs perfectly fine and hasn o lag what so ever.
how do you use it in ipad?
Hello there,

I sure hope you can fix this.
I think it can be something with acceleration... try searching in settings for acceleration and turn it off. maybe that's the problem :|
