New WFF Facer Creator Tags

Are ever going to be able to use Moon Phases again? I miss putting them in faces I create. Yes, I know I can still use it but not for WFF

In the compatibility list it has changed from not supported in WFF to Moonphase may not be accurate in this format.

I’m doing Moon Phases in WFS, so you should be able to do it here.

There is a formula for moon phases made by the Giants before the Tags . It is based on #DNOW#
If you want it I will hunt down the Topic . There are several but there is one that Rivals the one the US Navy use .

Thanks to @p.hennessey

Gives 0 to 1 . You have to take it from there .

Look at the topic .

That is my understanding.

If you do update it is not clear to me that you will be able to use both WFF and legacy Facer faces. If it were me, and access to the features available with legacy faces was my priority, I would wait and see what others report before updating OS4 to OS6.

Also, support for non-WFF platforms is continuing: see Rosetta Stone

I and the other people I speak with are updating or releasing versions that are compatible with Tizen, OS4, OS6(WFF) and hopefully future operating systems. So, along with everyone else continuing to release compatible versions, there will still be plenty of new faces available for non-WFF operating systems based watches.

I personaly am amazed at what Facer is trying to do. They gave us the easiest Platform to use and the Most amazingly Friendly Community that is is also Educational on so many levels. There is no other platform tha hosts such resources. I don’t think many know the Mammoth Task Facer have taken on.
I am hoping to be in a position to test the new stuff soon . I am personaly wondering how many Faces have have been made on WFS and Imported.

100% agree - my problem is that I am impatient for them to fix the bugs and get the tags back! All in good time I suppose and maybe with the new charge of energy and enthusiasm they seem to have acquired we may get curved text too!
I live in hope!

Come to WFS . Make .abb files and import to Facer.io . The Gyro on WFS is a DREAM . Not long ago we did not talk about WFS here . But we are all in the same Boat going forward now .

That’s the truth!

Hey, guys, please be kind with comments in other topics in this community and on other platforms. The conversion has been a huge project. I feel that Facer is trying to do what is best for everyone. For those (mostly on Facebook) complaining that their favorite faces are gone, it may be that they have been removed and are being redesigned for compatibility. Search works well, so that may be a good resource for finding “version 2” editions.

All I see with this code are numbers not the Moon Phase itself

Yes @pinbal24 as I said it gives a number 0 to 1 . You have to use it to rotate a Hand . Or divide it by 7 or 28 or whatever to switch Images on and off . Please look for topics on the subject so we don’t Hijack this Topic . If you DM me I will give you a TON of examples .

@Linlay or @mikeoday . Is there any way While browsing to Identify Faces that have been imported as .aab files from WFS . I understand there may be a Wee Bit of Politics with this .

Probably not unless it is mentioned in the watch face description.

I’d be pretty happy if they would just fix the Promo Media issues for imported WFF Faces. That’s just a website issue, not anything complicated, but it’s been going on since day one of the Beta for WFF. I have ZERO reason to do any updates, or add new faces until this is fixed. Tags don’t stick either. It’s shame.

I’ve reported this, but got zero response back.

What does exporting .aab from WFS involve? Don’t you need a keystore or something similar?

You make your face on WFS . When you upload it to your watch an .aab file is made automatically and sent o the Build folder under the name you used to make it . You click on import and upload it . Publish it as Normal .

My guess is that Facer would rather give priority to fixing immediate issues with creator and design conversion than fixing the import problems.

The worst has just happened. I have always had automatic updates disabled. I just checked and automatic software updates for my GW6 Classic are disabled. Despite this, the watch has just finished copying the new One UI6. Now it is asking me to install this version, but there is no option to cancel it. Only install now or install at night. I’m not clicking anything and will see what happens, but I’m worried and terrified that the watch is ruined. That is, no longer compatible with the old WFs.

It would be a real disaster. It is unforgivable on Samsung’s part to force an update on MY watch.

I should be the one to decide what to do with something that is MY property.
