I wasn't following lately, but did the Z depth setting of skeletons get fixed in any of the last couple updates?

Ugh, that Z order bug for Spriter Pro is one bug I, myself, absolutely need fixed to really continue using AppGameKit for my 2D projects-- if it doesn't come soon, I'm just gonna have to swap out engines, because using exported sprites in lieu of skeletons would be far more resource intensive in the long run than changing engines and just transferring code. I hope it doesn't come to that though, I love AppGameKit, but I can't wait too long, as I'm losing money/time every day I don't jump engines.

The animations are fine.... the problem occurs when you need to change the z-Depth of a Spriter Pro skeleton in a scene (such as moving behind/in front of other sprites). The first time works fine, but you can't change its z-Depth properly after that. Didn't someone post an example of the bug somewhere?

In 2014 I tried 2D animations in AppGameKit and there worked only a little. I liked the idea, being able to use Spriter and Spine animations together in one project, but any Pro feature broke the animation. Also scaling, flipping, etc. So I decided, to use AppGameKit for 3D and GameMaker Studio with Spine.
2016 some animations worked better, but no Mesh deforming. What I am also missing, are the easy things like Skinning, attach sprites to a bone. Things, that worked back in 2014 in Game Maker Studio 1.2, and best in 1.4, now 2.x ... So in 2014 I could simple swap some weapons and or heads or hats, but not in AppGameKit, only in GameMaker Studio.

In 2017 I tried Creature Pro (kestrelmoon). They can import Spine files and export to FBX. These FBX files work kind of in AGK. Some problems here and there. But that was the best work arround I could find so far. But now all skeleton commands are useless, since it is an 3D object.

Im currently animating in a little app using skeletons exported from spriter pro.I have walking characters that go past each other. When they are further back into the scene they have to be behind the skeleton in front of them so I update the skeletons depth so that this works.

I have not had any problems and every time I call the set depth function it works correctly (this is on AppGameKit 12.12.2017). It also works when skeletons walk in front of normal 2D sprites or infornt of a background etc...

Sorry to be a pain, but does anyone have a link to a thread on the original problem? Or can you tell me exactly what you have to do to cause the fault as I am setting 2D skeleton depths and it works right every time...so far


EDIT:

Ahh, I found it....https://forum.thegamecreators.com/thread/220728

Im not having the problems your describing but only have 8 skeletons on screen and maybe 20 sprites.

Does that include no fix for the depth of Sprite Pro skeletons?

Hi,

We are currently bug fixing. If this is still an issue can someone send us a small demo that shows the issue? We need it by this weekend please.

Still no response re this report. If you want us to look at this before the next build then you MUST send us a demo that shows the error with the next day!

Hi richV

Sorry for not having seen your post earlier !

http://captain.ouais.free.fr/bat.rar

You will find here the bat of the photo at the beginning of the post

There are two animations : "start" , the wings are in front of the body and normally works in agk
"vol" , the wings are behind the body and the display is crashing

For the depth problem, I think we can not change the Z more than once for a skeleton

I hope it will be useful !!!

Will you also see the problem of ads that no longer works?

while I'm here and I'm holding you ...

Could we get the getspriteflipx & getspriteflipy command ? It would be super helpful believe me

Could we have the command to manage the sprites of the skeletons? colors, sizes, and other ? Huh? I want to make you work ?

Have a nice day&week

Captain-Ouais !!

Hi,

Thanks for the demo. Paul did take a look at it and could not see what was going wrong. It will need some deeper investigation by Paul. Sadly it'll miss today's update but we will start to look at it later today and might be able to get another patch out if we find the issue quickly.
