Perfect. Thanks

Support / Are there any issues with NGUI + 2D Toolkit together?

« on: May 02, 2013, 02:57:42 pm »

Before I start down this road, I want to make sure there aren't any issues, so... Are there any issues with NGUI + 2D Toolkit together? I am already accustomed to NGUI for... GUI... but I want to keep using 2D Toolkit for all of my non-GUI game elements. Will this be a problem?

That sounds good to me. I'll look at it whenever you're ready.

Support / encapsulating the tk2dStaticSpriteBatcher commit behavior

« on: March 14, 2012, 12:36:19 am »

Here's a snippet from the editor script:

Code: [Select]

if (batcher.batchedSprites == null || batcher.batchedSprites.Length == 0)
{
if (GUILayout.Button("Commit"))
{
                batcher.Commit();
EditorUtility.SetDirty(target);
}
}
Then there's the actual code inside the tk2dStaticSpriteBatcher script:

Code: [Select]

    public void Commit()
    {
        List<tk2dSprite> sprites = new List<tk2dSprite>();
        tk2dSpriteCollectionData scd = null;

        for (int i = 0; i < this.transform.childCount; ++i)
        {
            Transform t = this.transform.GetChild(i);
            tk2dSprite s = t.GetComponent<tk2dSprite>();
            if (s)
            {
                if (scd == null) scd = s.collection;
                if (scd != s.collection)
                {
                    Debug.LogError("Error: Multiple sprite collections found");
                    return;
                }

                if (scd.allowMultipleAtlases)
                {
                    Debug.LogError("Error: Sprite collections with multiple atlases not allowed");
                    return;
                }

                sprites.Add(s);
            }
        }

        // sort sprites, smaller to larger z
        sprites.Sort((a, b) => b.transform.localPosition.z.CompareTo(a.transform.localPosition.z));

        if (sprites.Count == 0)
        {
            Debug.LogError("Error: No child sprite objects found");
            return;
        }

        this.spriteCollection = scd;
        this.batchedSprites = new tk2dBatchedSprite[sprites.Count];
        int currBatchedSprite = 0;
        foreach (var s in sprites)
        {
            tk2dBatchedSprite bs = new tk2dBatchedSprite();

            bs.name = s.gameObject.name;
            bs.color = s.color;
            bs.localScale = new Vector3(s.scale.x * s.transform.localScale.x, s.scale.y * s.transform.localScale.y, s.scale.z * s.transform.localScale.z);
            bs.position = s.transform.localPosition;
            bs.rotation = s.transform.localRotation;
            bs.spriteId = s.spriteId;
            bs.alwaysPixelPerfect = s.pixelPerfect;

            this.batchedSprites[currBatchedSprite++] = bs;

            GameObject.DestroyImmediate(s.gameObject);
        }

        this.Build();
    }

This was useful for me because at editor-time I was able to auto-batch my tile layers instead of clicking "Commit" for each one.

Support / Re: What next?

« on: March 12, 2012, 04:28:23 pm »

• Integrated multi platform support (different atlases for different platforms, automatically loaded in)
  
• Animation editor upgrade (this is long overdue in my opinion, but generally, our workflow fits quite well with the way it is right now)
  

A nice, artist friendly, animation editor would be awesome!

Seconded. Even as a programmer, the guess-and-check numeric index system is not ideal. I have a recommendation as to how it may look too: http://docs.garagegames.com/tgb/official/content/documentation/Tutorials/Feature/images/AnimatedSpritesFigure8.jpg

That is a picture of GarageGame's Animation Builder inside of Torque2D. I've used this before and it was really easy to construct the animations.

I use Tiled. I wrote a C# conversion to deserialize the XML into an object model which is in turn used in conjunction with 2D Toolkit to generate the maps at editor-time. I actually don't use Unity for anything other than rendering and game logic; all the world design is done in Tiled.

Oh everything seems to be working just fine. The coordinate system is x-right, y-up. I was just wanting to make x-right y-down. The anchors were not wrong on the camera, they were wrong on the sprite sheets inside the sprite collections.

The images I attached are using SpriteCollection's which have 'Use tk2d Camera' set to true.

When I place the sprite at (0, 0) it does not appear, but when I move it up a bit then it starts to show. It looks like the sprites are drawing from the top-left and not the bottom-left?

In fact, that is what was happening. I just changed my Sprite Collection's Sprite Sheet's Anchor to Lower-Left instead of Upper-Left, and now the entire first row of the tile map shows.

I suppose I could rewrite my game logic and map creation code to work with positive-only y positions instead of negative-only y positions. I just would love to have an option for which way the camera behaves.

Support / tk2dCamera with my Tile map.

« on: March 11, 2012, 06:41:31 pm »

I have attached two images that depict the problem I am having. What I would like to do is:

Set my camera to (0, 0, -10) and have it draw from the top-left down and to the right, such that it draws x pixels to the right and y pixels to the down directions. Right now, if  I set both my objects and camera to (0, 0) nothing gets seen on the game window.

Let me know if you  need more info.
