Looks awesome. Thanks very much for sharing this with the community!
So, does this let you playback actual Spriter files in GM Studio with bone support etc? Do you have a list of the features it supports?

[GradusGL]

Mike thanks for reply!
SpriterGM creating Game Maker child objects from spriterModel_instance and manipulate with objects parameters (x,y,image_angle and etc). In feature we are planing to add deataching functions (for example: to behead the enemy), errors handling functions, supporting spriter metadata and spriter objects like point or box
Now SpriterGM supports:
playing animation from scml
blending animations
character maps
trigger events
sound events

For example:
SpriterGM_features_demo.gmz

Skin mode not supported yet because in the Spriter it experimental. We hope that in Spriter 2 skin mode will be fully implemented, and we will add it in SpriterGM

Skin parts will not show right?

I have to wait again  T_T

Hey, I downloaded all files but none of them work. When I try to play the game I see the debug sprite only (green dots)

I have game maker studio 1.4 Professional Edition and Spriter Essentials

Any Ideas why it doesn't work?

[GradusGL]

datcuriousdog, Did you have Windows OS?

[saga55555]

I testing the tutorial and everything work fine.

But I noticed one problem.  The animation caused memory leak!

The memory slowly increase.  I try to put 20+ moss golems in and memory increase faster 

Is memory increase because of bone moving?

Seem like images can't be load if I not put files in correct order right?

My bad habit is put scml and image files in same folder 

 

[GradusGL]

File's can be in same folder where scml.

[hippyman]

I'm glad somebody was able to figure this out. I'm eager to try it.

[WikileSseeal95]

hey, good work on this, but i found it has a hidden dependency (not stated anywhere obvious) to Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 Redistributable (MSVCP140.dll)

 

 

[hippyman]

This works great! Is there any way to dynamically change animations at runtime? Like overriding a head bone so it always looks at the mouse.

[GradusGL]

hippyman Yes, it will be ready soon)

That is awesome to hear! They need to swap our member titles. I tried making Spriter work with only GML but ended up pushing it to the side because I was having issues with getting it working, then here you come out of nowhere with this! I'm the newbie, you're the advanced member for sure! Thanks again for making this.

I've been playing around with this plugin, and it's absolutely amazing! However, I'm running into two difficulties:

1: Whenever I try to spriter_load on a scml file from the RPG Maker set, I get a crash with the following text:

Quote

Trying to get texture from non-existing sprite.
 at gml_Script_spriter_load (line 23) -         var texture = sprite_get_texture(spriteIndex, -1);

I have no idea why it's happening, if it's something I'm doing wrong, or if the plugin is having difficulty with something in these specific files. I've tried both the Essentials version and the purchased version.

2: Thinking that it might have to do with the ability to change palettes, I loaded the Radius Wing pack, and it loaded fine. But I can't figure out how to select the palettes I want to use.

3: I just don't understand what some of the commands in the plugin do. Is there a manual, akin to Game Maker's manual, with a breakdown of all the functions and their arguments? If so, please tell me it isn't linked up above and I just blindly missed it.

 

Thanks for the amazing plugin!

This is just a guess, but it sounds to me like its hitting what Spriter thinks is a missing image... though no image that is used is actually missing, there might be a reference in the Spriter file to an image that it thinks it needs, but does not, and which is not present..

 

If this is right, the way to test might be to find out what image is reported as missing and just create an image with that name and put it in the appropriate folder in the art pack.

thanks.

Dude you are my freaking hero. Thank you for adding in bones and IK. You just made GM fun for me again.

FANTASTIC WORK GradusGL!

This seems to work quite well in 1.4 but errors out in 2.0.  Hopefully it's an easy fix.  I realize GMS2 is still in beta and subject to change, but I am quite new to GMS so I am not sure how to fix it.  I like GMS2's interface quite a bit more than GMS1.
