The little Anubis didn't shows up. I guess, it has something to do with sprites in folders and or not in folders, but can not re-do all the animations and also it is correctly shown in Spriter, so I guess, the problem is in AGK.


And I am really missing the "Atlas"-thingly

Does your throwing animation have an image/bone that is not in the other animations, like a stone, grenade or such?

This caused headaches for me a while ago and I sent Paul the files and this turned out to be the case, the fix was to add the image and bone to each animation and hide it, it fixed my crashing issue.

as a test, backup the file, delete the throwing animation and reload in AGK

I will try it out. I guess, that's why you have the "Setup" in Spine. But Spine is not free and so it is easier to get Spriter-animations. Also the support for Spine is only the ground. No Mesh-deforming, no skin swapping, no on-the-fly change of items like changing a weapon with attachments ...

Thanks for the answer, I did forgot, how awkward the Spriter-concept itself is in some parts.

[ ... Edit ... ]

first I tried to insert a bone, I guess, I had to do it manualy every keyframe in every animation. Maybe it is easier in an text-editor or something like that.

But it didn't worked. So in the next step I erased the Slash-Image from every keyframe in every animation. And now it loads.

I guess, the problem in Spriter is the mixing-up between bones and images. You can transform images and also make them disapear, they have there own keyframes and also can have alpha and so on. Back then in 2013, I guess, Esoteric noticed that it is unpracticle and create Spine. And Spriter later implemented bones as well.
Also without the "Setup" at the beginning, Spriter is very confusing and a mess with larger animations, because you can't look into every keyframe for every possible picture popping up or not.

Because of that, I guess, it is easier to convert a Spine-file to Spriter. But if you have Spine, you wouldn't do it. But the other way arround would be a benefit, I guess. But the problem here is Spriter itself, you could read the XML and JSON, but how you interprete the images flying arround somewhere, you would create a bone for every image ...
And maybe this would be a mess in Spiner later also. Because you could do "Animations" on one bone in Spine. Multiple Sprites flipping.

So thanks for the hint. Puh, so I have some characters and I guess, they are all messed-up the same way

The problem is they way AppGameKit implements Spriter, I have tried a good handful of .scon files from various sources and most do not work correctly in AppGameKit, my solution was to simply export scaled down versions in the form of sprite sheets and use those, not an ideal solution I know but a means to an end.

BTW you can insert an image into all keyframes:



I actually find Spriter a joy to use, sure it has a learning curve but given my lack of graphical skills it gives me the power to animate, I never tried Spine so I can not comment but for Spriter there is a tonn of support out there and most obstacles are quickly overcome.

Thanks for the scon file, it looks like it is crashing because some of the images aren't attached to a bone in some frames, I've attempted to handle this case although I don't know how it will look when it tries to draw such images. I've attached a new version of the player with this fix to see if it works.

Thanks for that.

Yes, it is possible in Spriter and the problem is also, I guess, that the Alpha-Setting is on the Image, not on the Bone.

Thanks to PartTimeCode, I used shortcuts, but I didn't get the slash sprite into the animation, also if it was on a bone, I guess, changing alpha does something wired

Maybe it is to late, but the Anubis was from that bundle
