Mike at BrashMonkey Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 PLEASE NOTE: This thread is old and was for the original Spriter. Info for the new Spriters Data format will begin in a new thread shortly. Hi everyone, For those looking for technical information on Spriters default file format, you can download it Here:http://www.brashmonkey.com/spriter/spriter_docs.zip I'll answer some of the critical Spriter Questions here: 1) Curently Spriter exports the data as a plain-english INI file. This is so anyone can make a small program to convert the easy to read data into whatever custom format they might want or need, BUT I do plan on making the tool export at least one XML format once I work it out with extension developers for popular game making engines. 2) Eventually I'll also add a feature to export your animations as full frame sequential images (although thats not really the point of the tool, its still very handy) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inca Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 Hello. I making a game on Construct too and i was very surprised when i read that your game inspired by Odin Sphere and Maramusa. Because i took this game as a reference too! I making a 2d-platform game and your program "Spriter" and a Demo of your game very interested me. I want to ask you some question about how do use your Spriter with Construct. As for me for animation i use an Animation Studio (ex-Moho), here is a prototype of my game and this is a concept art pages. Waiting for your answers. UPD:... hm... never mind, i already read your topic on Scirra.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike at BrashMonkey Posted October 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 Hi Inca, Your game is looking great and this is exactly the sort of thing that my tool was designed for. As you discovered on Scirra.com there is no extension yet for Construct to support Spriter, so it would be quite some work (but not impossible) to use the animation data exported from it. I'm still trying to get an actual extension programmer to help in that matter. Please help spread the word of this tool in general and on scirra.com so that there;s as much incentive as possible for this extension to be made. How much farther have you gone beyone this demo on your game? Because we are working on such similar game engines, we might want to team up and work on the same engine to use for both of our games... curently my engine has support for camera zooming, cinematic scenes, dialogue, and some combat... If you might be interested teaming up, please email me at mail@brashmonkey.com best regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telles0808 Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 BrashAdmin, that export button with all the sequencial would be nice, but I wanna suggest you to make them to be in separated layer images but with the maximum size of all them together, so, you'll can meet all the images over each other easy in GM and don't will worry about offsets.

Goldfish on Rye Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 I'm also working on my own game (why else would I be here right?), so this application turns out to be just what I was looking for. Great tool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abitofcode Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 The link to the file format information is broken :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucid Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 that's an old link, which referred to the previous Spriter's file format. We apologize for the mess. We'll be documenting the current working beta format over the next week or so, and publishing that to a new link, as well as posting an update to the kickstarter and this forum. So please stay tuned for more information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
