oh! I just tested the download and it took a couple of seconds, Glad you got it working anyhow.

DUTOIT, in the meantime, you can download it here: http://www.brashmonkey.com/download_spriter.htm

And the key you got from the Scirra Store will work.

6bruno6, no but I will add that to the plugin soon.

Tekniko, thank you very much!

PSI, thanks, I will get back to you soon.

I think I know what you mean —

Each individual sprite that makes up your character has the pivot point forced at 0,0, and now if you change the sprite's pivot point in the layout, at runtime that sprite is offset in the animation. Ashley and I decided to have the plugin do pivot point calculations because C2 doesn't allow changing of pivots at runtime, but Spriter's format does.

I can make the plugin compensate for pivot points altered after import. I think I have a solution that doesn't involve any extra calculations, but there's a few other plugin features and Spriter features I'm working on first. So it's on the todo list.

Hi again everyone.

Tiny update to the plugin:

plugin changelog 9/28/14

• Fixed a bug where upon resuming an animation, playback would skip forward the amount of time it had been paused.
• Added set opacity action.

I'm looking back through the pages, and I remembered there being more bugs to fix, but I'm not finding all of them. If you're having any issues with the plugin, please reply in this thread again. I will be fixing any critical bugs over the next few days ASAP. I will start getting all the pro-features into the plugin upon full release of B11 which should be sometime this week.

PSI, sorry to make you do this again, but please send me an email with your latest capx, and a list of all the issues you're still experiencing. I know the one with not being able to set opacity on individual body parts. I'm not sure if the new set opacity action will fit your needs for your game or not. There was another issue with an animation playing back differently (or broken) in C2 that was working correctly in Spriter? Please also send the latest zipped Spriter project, so I can see the difference in animation, and please also list any bugs I missed listing just now in an email. Thanks again for your patience.

— I found the issue. In the animation 'Spellsmith_DS', at this time: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/257 ... lslash.PNG

You have an image that was removed from the directory, but is still referenced in the project. If you change this to a different image, or add a file called "SpellSmith_DualAttackSlash0000.png" to the directory it should import fine.

In prior versions Spriter would create an image file that looked like the missing image symbol, but that was causing issues when users edited a file with older software and trying to refresh in Spriter would cause a valid image to get overwritten.

I added a few related things to Spriter's to do list though, because now that it doesn't create the files automatically, it should warn you on exit, list missing file names and ask if you want to generate the missing file pngs.

yaomon17, yeah that sounds like it's on your end. I'm receiving other emails fine. Can you put on dropbox maybe?

PSI, if you have two keys close together and the framerate causes it to skip over one of the keys it won't ever trigger that state, so if you're trying to use that as a triggering, I'd suggest waiting for event feature to get implemented in the plugin. I'll keep a lookout for this when I'm working on the plugin later, though.

yaomon17, Please send over the relevant zipped scml project folders, and the capx file.

jayderyu, are you saying this is happening in the new version of Spriter? or in the scml plugin?

In Spriter, default pivots and such should be working pretty much as you'd expect, as we fixed several bugs, but if there's something else going on there, let me know, and I'll fix it for the full release. If you mean the scml plugin, I'm not sure what you mean exactly. The plugin imports now with the pivot point/hotspot at 0,0. The reason for this is that Spriter allows you to animated the pivot point, and c2 does not allow for animated pivot points. The plugin just manually compensates for the pivot point as it animates. I'm not sure if any of that answered your question.

baterism - if you mean in the plugin, not yet, but I can add that in a future update. And thanks!

— Changing the pivot point in the file palette locks the positions of the sprites, and offsets their positions so you can change the pivot point, without having your character get shifted around. If it's needed, I can add a feature to disable the position compensation and allow the sprites to shift when the pivot point is changed through the file palette.

Once the main pivot is set, and you set the character map images' pivot points, when you switch on a character map, the pivot point is in the same xy position on the character, so if you have a long head image with a tall hat, and a regular head, and both pivots are set to where the neck meets the head, the head will appear in the same place, despite being drastically different shapes and/or sizes

The Spriter B11 Pre-Release is available for testing! See the full update post here.

In addition to a number of bug fixes, optimizations, and enhancements, the new version introduces Constraint Relaxation overcoming the previous limit of 2 bones for an IK chain. This feature is available in both the Pro version and the Essentials(free) version. Spriter also now visualizes the waveforms for sounds in the timeline window.

6bruno6, the collision boxes created in Spriter load correctly and can be used to detect collisions, but since the scml plugin will be moving them around and animating them, you usually won't want to put a behavior on them. So it's best to create a sprite called 'playerbox' or something like that. And then use the pin behavior to attach the scml object to it.

MikeMS, That is a bug. It must have been introduced recently. Also, your condition says >=600ms, so if the bug wasn't present, it would try to play it pass this condition and pause itself again, so it would need a system condition Trigger Once While True under that condition. However, even if you fix this, it won't work because of the bug.

I'll be announcing a pre-release of the upcoming Spriter build tonight, and then I'll do an update to the c2 plugin for release over the weekend to fix the bugs that have been reported. After I complete the full release of the upcoming Spriter build, I'll add the remaining features to the plugin. Thanks again for you patience everyone. I'll post back here with the details of the pre-release later tonight as well.
