im attempting to use a custom sprite that has a black outline around it, but when i use it in the app the outline gets removed and it looks weird. anyone else have this issue?
Most of these issues are caused by the sprite using RGB colour mode instead of indexed colour mode. Also check that the black outline isn't pure black (0,0,0) since that might be read as transparent.
opening 6 different instances of baba friend to have The Whole Gang was fun but also shattered my gpu and bluescreened me. if you ever plan on tinkering with this thing again i think it'd be fun if you could add more friends in the right click menu instead of opening a new window
My new friend is excellent and I love him. Any updates on multi-monitor jank? My two monitors aren't aligned and this means Baba tends to float partway up from the bottom of my second one.
Thank you, I installed desktop Baba two weeks ago and it brings me so much delight daily. However moment ago I noticed my Baba lost their eyes for some reason. Also they don't react when i try to interact with my cursors (pat or drag). Everything else is normal, they are still moving across screen and doing their thing. This is not bug report because I'm for 90% sure restarting the program would fix it, I just wanted to share with this creepy/funny situation.
It's not that only the eyes disappear, the entire thing goes white and un-interactable. It happens to me too whenever a fullscreen application opens while baba friend is active. Just close baba and relaunch the app, should be fine.
Please add a feature where sometimes Baba Friends eyes disappear, implying Baba Friend has turned around. This would add flavor and mystique to the enigmatic Baba Friend. Thank you.
baba slows down my computer and/or completely freezes the screen. i kept thinking that baba was just a virus because there was no problems for several hours. im gonna delete baba soon, but i just had a lot of fun with baba and it surely was an experience. ill be sure to keep the unopened zip file just for an occasion that this gets patched! i dont know if anyone else has this problem.
Ah, that's a bummer. :( The implementation of the toy is quite haphazard, so I can unfortunately see some computer setups not liking it much in terms of performance, and in those cases I can't do much without rewriting the entire toy from scratch in a different language.
I made custom sprites for like 6 hours but it was worth it. Thank you for making this, it's perfect and Baba is great too <3
By the way, when I'm using two monitors, Baba friend gets glitchy because my monitors have different resolutions (Main monitor is 1440p and secondary is a 1080p drawing monitor). Is there a way to force friend to ignore the second monitor completely?
Found a workaround, I set my 1080p monitor at 100% (instead of 150%) in the Scale and Layout in the windows settings. Now it doesn't glitch my little fella!

are you able to do a version for temmie from undertale?
The character sprites are included with the tool so modding in a Temmie sprite should be easy :)
seems like no one knows that its from a game XD
you can change its values ( speed, gravity, ect.) and make it the flash
can you give baba a black out line so it's still visible in a white window
I've made an outlined version, you can get it here:

my baba just went infront of my taskbar... is that a bug?

Nice work, a good friend ausahus
the baba freind should have a small ! above his head and his face turns into '0' when you open baba is you
My new friend is excellent and I love him. Any updates on multi-monitor jank? My two monitors aren't aligned and this means Baba tends to float partway up from the bottom of my second one.
I'm also waiting patiently for a fix or a way to make baba ignore my second monitor. It's the only thing keeping it from a 10/10 for me.
Maybe just make part of that monitor's wallpaper say "BABA IS FLOAT" and then it looks intentional
Baba has Mac. Baba is sad...
can u make it so that u can change size pls :) its so bige....
<3
ceot
i love baba!! thank you

Baba Is Consider
Make it for android
how, it is a DESKTOP PET
He's probably thinking of TSC in AVA4 on Alan's iPhone 6
display over other apps exists btw :)
where is setup.txt
You can open it from the menu that opens when you right-clicking Baba. But the exact path is users\<your username>\AppData\roaming\BabaFriend\

BABA IS VIRUS
BABA EAT COMPUTER
BABA WITHOUT COMPUTER IS WIN
COMPUTER NOT WITHOUT BABA IS DONE
very cool

I need to update that in! Thanks for the feedback :)

i tried making custom sprites but the transparent part of the sprites were black
You need to switch the colour mode from RGB to Indexed; some pixel art programs like Aseprite can do this.
hi i was wondering if there's any other way to do this, aseprite isn't free...
I'm sure there are, but sadly don't know of any other examples right off my head. You could try GraphicsGale, which is free!
BABA SAY BABA RECOMMEND PAINT.NET
Very cute. Works with Wine, though it really doesn't like multiple monitors. Which is understandable.
