Platform Specific settings

[fsadeq]

So I started out with hi-res assets first and am deciding now down that road that I want to add 1x versions of textures. How do I set up the textures for this? From what I understand, I have to have the 2x/ folder relative to the source - but the source in my case is hi-res. Do I have to change my entire collection to reference the 1x texture, then move my 2x into the appropriate folder? Thanks.

So I kept the source textures as the 2x ones and in that directory, I added a '1x' folder and put the 1x ones in there - seems to work in the editor. However, I don't see anything happening on the device? It keeps using the hi-res set of images even if I do

Code: [Select]

tk2dSystem.CurrentPlatform = "1x";
Any thoughts? Thanks.

If the source textures are 2x and thats what thee collection is created with, then set it to 2x, and add a 1x override.
When do you call CurrentPlatform? It needs to be called before anything else. I.e. try Awake in a different scene to be sure its called for sure before trying to using the script execution order thingy.

I'm calling it Awake of the only script in the start scene. I've tried changing the script execution order as well, to no avail.

I can verify that the sprite collections work properly because if I go to 2D Toolkit > Preferences > and switch the Platform, then I can see the textures swapping out to the proper ones.

Not sure why setting through code isn't working..

Does it work if you set CurrentPlatform in a different scene before loading the main scene?

[fsadeq]

Yep, works only if I set it inside of a blank scene loaded before a scene that uses 2dTK.  Not sure why I can't get it to work otherwise, but I'm fine with this solution.

Only other thing I'm having trouble figuring out is using platform settings with Fonts. I have them included in my collection, but I'm not clear on what I'm supposed to do - I've tried exporting the bmfont into a "1x" folder, but when I do that I get errors telling me the atlas is too small for the sprites (not sure why since it's supposed to create a new atlas for the 1x, not put it in the same one), so I'm thinking something wonky is going on.

You do exactly the same thing with fonts as you do with textures. You export a second font with @2x - be sure to export this properly from bmfont or whatever you use, so you end up with 2 fnt files, 2 textures. You put it in the same folder as you would the normal sprite textures and the rest just works.

[fsadeq]

Yea - this isn't working for me. I'm either doing something horribly wrong, or there's a bug somewhere. I'm doing exactly the same thing I do for the normal sprites, exported fonts again, put them in the same directories like I'm doing with normal sprites, but whenever I commit the font collection, it tells me I have a texture that exceeds atlas size. This is what is confusing me - why is it trying to add textures to the original atlas?

Bizzare. Can't reproduce this at all. Can you give me some more details of your setup, or set it up in a repro project & email support?
