Not sure what I did here to get this error - it appears that I have an idle/walk/combat anims saved from spine - but I'm thinking I'm missing a step or perhaps some form of coding that needs to be done in the atlas? I set up the enchantress class to try testing out the new anims, but I get the error you see below.

I know you guys are busy - so no rush to answer at all - I will keep experimenting. Just logging the struggles I face along the way lol.

Make sure that you set Spine's version to 2.1.27 before you export, otherwise our binary reader won't read your .skel file correctly (that might be cause of the error). You can leave the Atlas export settings to default, except change the following: "Max width" and "Max height" should be set to 4096, and "Power of two" should be OFF.

There was a bug in the very early versions of Spine where the .png filename did not match the .skel/.atlas filenames upon export - I am wondering if that bug still persists in the Essentials version and that's why you had to rename it. If that's the case, then you'll need to manually edit the .atlas file (it's a text file) so that the correct name also appears in there (that also might be the reason for the error).

Cheers!

Hey guys… need help again 🙁

I just updated my walk, idle, and combat – suddenly im getting a spinedata error again – and don’t have any idea what could be wrong. I know I have seen the 349 error before sometime throughout my previous mods – but i’m baffled as to why i’m getting it now.

I never did anything different from before… any ideas?

Hey Brooks!

So I managed to export an idle/walk/combat - I really need to learn how to animate - so they are pretty static right now.

At least now there is no crashing, but my images of the enchantress is not showing up in game - just white boxes. Except for the status screen idle - the status screen idle she shows up correctly - but every where else, idle in party, walk, and combat, are all white boxes.

I have check naming - and everything appears correct - as well as inside the atlas files.

Any diea what I am missing now - as I am a bit perplexed as to why her status screen image/idle shows up right - but not anywhere else.

The in-game debugger also indicates that the anim for each (idle/walk/combat) are missing.

Edit: Ok I got her appearance to show up for the walk/idle/combat - but here is the error - in which the anmimations are not working. While my animations are not that great yet - they aren't happening in-game.

the debugger error is -

SpineSprite - missing animation named: Walk. I get the same error for idle and combat.


EDIT 2!

Ok, I made progress - I got the animation to play for the walk - although its like she has turrets. So got to work on it. But it is progress.

Awesome thanks for the suggestions - I will test them out this weekend :)

I posted the same question elsewhere so this answers that question. Thanks!

Making progress I hope...

I manged to save png/skel/atlas files for the idle - but had to name it enchantress.sprite.idle.png myself - hopefully that still works...

Hey John,

Quick question - in the video posted elsewhere. I notice that Weights are used in different pieces. As I am trying to wrap my head around idle poses - I am looking at the details in what is being done in the video.

Can you ask - are we "required" to use weights in spine in order to make idle/combat poses work? Or can I just use the joint pieces to achieve that?

The reason I ask - is that Spine essentials does not give access to weights.

EDIT: Slash that question.... I think I understand how the idle works now.

Can you ask instead - how to save files, the idle, walk, combat, and regular anim files - so that they work with DD? Do they need to be saved a specific way?

I might be off base on this - but the uploader will not upload files that are hard-installed (it won't upload duplicate files). So only the default installed file remains. So your new item would have to be re-named in order for the uploader to pick it up.

If I'm off base or thinking of the wrong issue, then I hope you get it worked out.

The issue isn't with the uploader, as one of the mod's users reported that the icon IS the mod's folder, but it's not being loaded unless it's placed in the game's base folders instead of the mod's folder.

I'm probably just not good at explaining the solution. Perhaps someone else can explain it better. It was an issue I have seen before, but I no longer have that issue.

Following up from the previous comment: the current mod support seems like it doesn't bother to load all-new files included in a mod. For example, my Musketeer mod has a new icon, musketeer.ability.eight.png. People reported issues with the icon being missing, since the game isn't loading it (debug says it couldn't find it). However, copying that particular file to the appropiate base game folder (as in, outside of the mod's folder) works properly.

I, however, tried to fix this issue with the missing icon by renaming the file back to musketeer.ability.six.png and changing the .art file to try to load the sixth icon instead of the eigth. This didn't really fix the issue either, though, as the game loaded up the original unmodified musketeer.ability.six.png, prioritizing it over my mod's edited file.

I might be off base on this - but the uploader will not upload files that are hard-installed (it won't upload duplicate files). So only the default installed file remains. So your new item would have to be re-named in order for the uploader to pick it up.

Figured out what the problem is. It's the modifies.txt error. If you look at the "modifies.txt" file, it's missing a big chunk of the files that are actually in the mod and basically the game is only looking for a few files in the "assassin_B" folder.

It's usually caused when uploading files that are already in the DarkestDungeon folders, which sometimes confuses the uploader. Moving the files connected to the mod out of the DarkestDungeon folder (or deleting them) should make it upload properly.

I think there is a setting in the uploader that makes it ignore files already in the DarkestDungeon folder, but I don't remember how to set it.

gotcha. That made alot of sense.
Will will do the up load from another, cleaner computer tonight, and give it a try.

Thanks alot for the great insights :)

You might have checked this already, but when I first was having this issue - the problem was that I had still had a hard copy of the class in the DD folders. The installed hard copy and the subbed copy cannot co-exist, so make sure you have removed all files related to the class from the DD folders.

Great news guys!

I have free time tomorrow so I'll help people and check and see if everything is working correctly.

Yeah it's exciting. I think my classes are all good to go. Let me know if you notice any issues.
