Hi all,

I have a problem with my app.
I have tried it on 7 different devices and it works nicely on 6.
On the 7th i throws up the error 'Image does not contain enough animation frames bubble-133.png in functions.agc at line 191'.
This animation works fine on the other devices.
The image that it is talking about is 2660x133 and has 20 frames.
The device is running android v4.2.1 and is an ASUS Transformer Pad.
The majority of the other devices (that it works on) are android, some new and some older.
I have made sure that the AppGameKit Player is fully up to date.

Has anyone else come across a simular issue?

Many thanks
Phil

UPDATE:
I have changed the file size so that the frames are set over 2 rows so the image is 1330x266 and it has fixed the problem.

Does anyone know if there is a width limitation on images used for animations?

Many thanks
Phil

@Markus

Hi Markus, I have just checked the GetImageWidth and it shows as 2048 on the asus transformer but 2660 on the other devices.
Why would it do that? Very strange.

Thanks for the reply.

hm, maybe a texture size limit with power of 2.
some behavior can not explained.
instead of 2048 i would expect a error at image loading.

I remember reading in the documentation to keep your images at 2048x2048 or smaller because for many devices (I am guessing mainly these would be cell phones) that is the max size supported. So I'd guess that is it based on the initial behavior and the fact it now works after changing size to be within 2048x2048.

yes here
https://www.appgamekit.com/documentation/Reference/Image/LoadImage.htm
Quote: "
LoadImage
Description

Loads an image from a file into a specified image ID, can also be used to load an atlas texture that will be used by sub images. If loading an atlas texture a subimages.txt file must exist detailing all the images contained on it.

Image width and height must be between 1 and 2048 pixels, some devices may support larger sizes but this is not guaranteed. Images do not need to be a power of 2 in size (2,4,8,16,32,etc).

If you have lots of small images you could combine them into an atlas texture to improve performance."

The erroneous device probably expands the 2660 image to a power of 2 image size of 3072pixels wide, making it too big to fit into memory.

Just an explanation of why it doesn't work.

I think I'm facing a similar problem with one device. How can I read from 2 rows using SetSpriteAnimation()?
