Description
UPDATE (1/4/2017) BECAUSE PEOPLE KEEP ASKING THE SAME THING A LOTYOU HAVE TO RUN EITHER THE .JAR OR .BAT FILES ON WINDOWS 8/10 WHEN LAUNCHING SHIMEJI. DON'T TRY TO RUN THE .EXE FILE.
IF THEY WON'T OPEN, DOWNLOAD THIS: drive.google.com/open?id=0B0vF… BECAUSE YOUR PROBLEM IS MOST LIKELY HAVING THE WRONG VERSION OF JAVA.
UNZIP THIS FOLDER AND PUT THE JRE6 FOLDER IN LOCAL DISK (C) > PROGRAM FILES X86 > JAVA. MAKE SURE THAT WHEN OPENING THE JRE6 FOLDER YOU SEE "BIN", AND NOT ANOTHER "JRE6". IF YOU SEE THE LATTER, MOVE THE FOLDER INSIDE TO THE JAVA FOLDER INSTEAD BECAUSE IT'S IMPORTANT YOU HAVE THE RIGHT PATH OR IT WON'T LAUNCH.
UPDATE (14/12/2015)
I TOOK ALL OF THE SHIT OUT OF THE TUTORIAL, UPDATED THE WRITING AND MADE IT MORE RELEVANT. GOD DAMN I WAS CRINGY A YEAR AGO. I'M SORRY FOR THE OLD TUTORIAL.
SHIMEJI ENGLISH ENHANCED, THE VERSION USED IN THE TUTORIAL, AND THE VERSION I RECOMMEND, CAN BE DOWNLOADED FROM HERE: code.google.com/p/shimeji-ee/d…
A video version of the tutorial, complete with over-dubbing and my wonderful stuttering, will be made soon. Hopefully. If I remember.
Again, drop me a comment if you're having issues with it!

Alrighty, here's a couple things that could be causing the problem:
Are you running the compatible version of Java? I think it's Java6 (If not here: drive.google.com/file/d/0B0vFz… )
If you don't already have it, make/use the existing folder called Java in your Program Files x86, make a folder inside that called jre6, and extract all the contents of the zip into that folder. (make sure there isnt a folder between all the files and the jre6 one). THEN see if you can run the shimeji java file. When I started using Windows 8 it already had been updated to run a different Java than the one shimeji uses so I'm not sure if it ever did and that was what made yours stop working.
Alternatively, now that I think about it, do you have your language for non unicode programs set to anything other than english? it could be what's causing the problem, sometimes files written in different alphabets to your default won't run properly.

ech so ive gotten a frame done but when i loaded the shimeji to take a look at it there was all these specs around so i went back into sai to try and reveal the specs and erase them but they dont show up at all theyre just there and i have no idea why
im thinking it could be the base if it is ill have to change it
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
unfortunately the specs are common and nobody really knows why they happen, but changing the base might be the best bet.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
alright but hey ive only done one frame so changing the base wont be a pain in the ass
i'll see if that fixes it if not then i'll try and roll with it

i'm just skimming through and i don't think it says anything about it
i just think switching bases is the best idea
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I guess that's the way to go
I'll see if I can find a better base
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Does it have to be a specific size?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's recommended that you don't make it too much bigger or smaller than whatever base you're using is but it doesn't really matter, as long as you understand the anchor points.

can you upload a screenshot to stash and show me?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
are any of your layers on a special setting eg multiply?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well i dunno what the problem is, make sure you don't have any hidden layers and then try to transfer it onto different base. it's probably just the program glitching out.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hm ok. But what do you mean different base?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
paste your images onto a different shimeji. some shimejis have weird glitches when you draw over them.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh ok. I'll download a different shimeji since I'm using Asriel Buddy.

Weird question but can i change the size of only a few frames. Like i want a falling animation to include a parachute but i don't want to change the size of my character just to include the parachute. :/ I really dont want to screw this up lol
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, you can. I think from memory, as long as you extend it in all four directions, you should be able to do it without fucking with the anchor. If not, it's not that hard to work out the anchor.
