I'm sure this has been asked already, but is it possible to activate pen pressure for a tablet on the oekaki?

Yes. For ChibiPaint you will need to download J-Tablet or Chicken Smoothies version of J-tablet (for mac)

For ChickenPaint support is built in on certain browsers. Follow these instructions for more help.



“How do you use pen pressure/a tablet with Chicken Paint?"



From the FAQ:


If you're using the new "ChickenPaint" Oekaki tool (it'll say "ChickenPaint" next to the menu options), then click "Help -> Tablet support" in ChickenPaint for instructions on using a graphics tablet.

Ok awesome, thank you!

So... I used Google for a pic, and now it wont read the drawing on anything. I usually use firefox, buuut I forgot and used Google chrome and now I can't even open it on chrome, it just says 'failed to load layers' on chrome and just has the start up on Firefox. I tried to switch out when I realized chrome wasn't able to do the pressure sensitivity for some reason? Buut now its pointless. I can open everything but the one file. x.x

Still have this same issue.

Hey! So I was working on a design for a created species the other night and didn't finish it. I hit save and finish and everything looked fine. However, when I go back to open in again through the "color me in" button under the species page, my saved drawings dont show up and I don't have the option to open them up.

I do know it saved, as I was able to access the design by opening a new canvas. However, is there a way to access these saved drawings and post it under the species page? This hasn't been a problem before for me.

Thanks in advance!

This message means it saved wrong. The only way Nick can fix this is by flattening the layers.
Send in a Help ticket, if I see it I'll bump it up to him. Best way to ensure he sees it. ^^;

Nick changed how this was set up because it was annoying to reload the Oekaki so much. No matter what, when you post the colored-in Oekaki, it's going to link back to the original and it's going to be in the "colored-in" list on the original, unless it's manually changed by someone with the power to do so. You guys don't ever have to worry about it unless, say, a "cover" for a set of color-ins (like entries or whatever) gets deleted - in which case, the color-ins that were under the "cover" won't show up in the colored-in list, but they'll link back to the original just fine. We can fix those issues pretty easily.
What you can control, though, is where it's posted. It'll go in the last board you visited, usually, so please pay attention where you access the Oekaki!

Alright, thank you! <3 So maybe you answered this in your question and I just didn't get it, but I still am not able to access unfinished drawings from the created pets. So like, if I go to the beginners board, it gives me this option here. However, when hit color in for the plumerians it never gives me the option to access these? It doesn't show up at the bottom like it used to and I don't know how to access the design I already started.

Or do you mean as long as I post it under the created pets board (by starting a new drawing and then opening the edited design) It'll appear under the original drawing?

Bolded what I meant. c: There is no way to access the unsaved drawings by hitting "colormein" anymore, because that automatically opens up the Oekaki canvas - bypassing the size/"pick a drawing to work on" menu screen.
It will also link up if you post in any other board, but if you're coloring in a new Plumie to adopt out... yeah, you'll want it on that board, lol.

It will appear under the original every single time unless a "cover" (say, "Bentley's Entries" in a contest) was posted, colored-in versions made on that cover, and, after that, the cover itself is deleted. In that case, and only in that case, the "Based on __" links will lead back to the original, but the colored-in versions will not appear in the list underneath the original drawing unless it's changed manually by someone with the power to do so.

Ahhhhh okay! Lol, thank you so much! That helps a lot.

Alright, so I downloaded the J-tablet thing, and I went on to chicken paint, and in to 'Tablet Support" and it says that my browser has built-in support for drawing tablets. But it doesn't do the pen pressure still. Am I still missing something?
