  1. Hi there, this is an old thread, and found it out because I'm trying to develop a workflow between Spriter (I'm using Essentials to try it out) and C2 (and Tiled). For context, I'm not using Spriter (at the moment anyway) as a character animation tool, but exploring how it can improve my management of fully-animated pre-rendered sprites. In C2, I use a ZSorter plugin that sorts sprites based on their Y position by default. This Y position references the 'Origin'/hotspot of the sprite. Now, because Spriter now only exports sprites with Origin at 0,0, this method will fail. If I can introduce an image point to the sprite itself and have that carry over to C2 as an 'imagepoint' entity as described in the Sprite object, then I can use ZSorter's custom sort function to compute a new Y position. Because I'm using Essentials, I don't know how Spriter Pro's 'points' entity translates to C2. Is this doable? Thanks!
  2. First post! And in my typical fashion, a bug report. I'm using the Spriter Essentials Edition as I am testing the prog. I came upon this bug just a moment ago and wanted to know what I was doing wrong. When I discovered it was a bug, I did some tests and it seemed to be connected to the way files are named. Consider the following. -I have the following images: /zumbug_idle_E.png /zumbug_idle_N.png /zumbug_idle_NE.png /zumbug_idle_NW.png /zumbug_idle_S.png /zumbug_idle_SE.png /zumbug_idle_SW.png /zumbug_idle_W.png -I set a custom pivot point via the File Palette for image 'zumbug_idle_E.png' -I click the Copy Default Pivot Points button in the same palette. -Multi-select the rest of my images, the Paste Default Pivot Points. -The result: /zumbug_idle_E.png - SOURCE COPY /zumbug_idle_N.png - PASTE OK /zumbug_idle_NE.png - PASTE NOT OK /zumbug_idle_NW.png - PASTE NOT OK /zumbug_idle_S.png - PASTE OK /zumbug_idle_SE.png - PASTE NOT OK /zumbug_idle_SW.png - PASTE NOT OK /zumbug_idle_W.png - PASTE OK -So I thought it might be something to do with the length of the string name of the image whose pivot was copied. -So I copied the pivot of zumbug_idle_NE.png, and tried pasting that to zumbug_idle_NW.png. But it didn't paste the values, unfortunately. -To further test the string-length idea, I created a two sprites in another folder: /zumbug_idle_NE.png /zumbug_idle_NW.png -These do not copy/paste properly -So rename them, they copy/paste ok: /zumbug_NE.png - SOURCE COPY /zumbug_NW.png - PASTE OK -Then I add characters up to 12 characters, and they still copy/paste ok: /zumbug____NE.png - SOURCE COPY /zumbug____NW.png - PASTE OK -But if I add one more '_', it stops working: /zumbug_____NE.png - SOURCE COPY /zumbug_____NW.png - PASTE NOT OK -Note that the initial set of filenames (eg zumbug_idle_E.png) were already beyond 12 characters, but they still worked, so I don't really know if it's totally about string length. -As a final workaround, I shortened my filenames completely: /zumbug_01.png /zumbug_02.png /zumbug_03.png /zumbug_04.png /zumbug_05.png /zumbug_06.png /zumbug_07.png /zumbug_08.png -And using these images, the copy-paste pivot points operation worked ok. I hope that helps you troubleshoot the issue.
