More README changes Renamed spine-cocos2d-iphone to spine-cocos2d-objc, fixed up Xcode project and README Updated spine-cocos2d-objc README Added context when exceptions are thrown during attachment and animation parsing. Added JsonRollback, a tool for converting newer JSON so it can be loaded by an older Spine version. [Unity] Update BoneFollower Added coverting linkedmesh to weightedlinkedmesh. [LUA] AnimationState trackCount bugfixes (#466) * resolved conflict * made trackCount keep count, not maximum track index. Prettier with varargs. Updated .gitignore to exclude cocos2dx dependencies Fixed up READMEs of spine-c based runtimes with proper version info. Fixed cocos2d-x CMake build to delete outdated Spine runtime shipped by cocos2d-x
spine-c
The spine-c runtime provides basic functionality to load and manipulate Spine skeletal animation data using ANSI C. It does not perform rendering but can be extended to enable Spine animations for other C-based projects, including C++ or Objective-C projects.
For a pure C++ API, you may consider the third party Spine runtime Chobolabs/spine-cpp.
Licensing
This Spine Runtime may only be used for personal or internal use, typically to evaluate Spine before purchasing. If you would like to incorporate a Spine Runtime into your applications, distribute software containing a Spine Runtime, or modify a Spine Runtime, then you will need a valid Spine license. Please see the Spine Runtimes Software License for detailed information.
The Spine Runtimes are developed with the intent to be used with data exported from Spine. By purchasing Spine, Section 2 of the Spine Software License grants the right to create and distribute derivative works of the Spine Runtimes.
Spine version
spine-c works with data exported from Spine version 3.2.01.
spine-c supports all Spine features.
spine-c does not yet support loading the binary format.
Setup
- Download the Spine Runtimes source using git or by downloading it as a zip.
- Open the
spine-c.slnVisual C++ 2010 Express project file. For other IDEs, you will need to create a new project and import the source.
Alternatively, the contents of the spine-c/src and spine-c/include directories can be copied into your project. Be sure your header search is configured to find the contents of the spine-c/include directory. Note that the includes use spine/Xxx.h, so the spine directory cannot be omitted when copying the files.
If SPINE_SHORT_NAMES is defined, the sp prefix for all structs and functions is optional. Only use this if the spine-c names won't cause a conflict.
Extension
Extending spine-c requires implementing three methods:
_spAtlasPage_createTextureLoads a texture and stores it and its size in thevoid* rendererObject,widthandheightfields of anspAtlasPagestruct._spAtlasPage_disposeTextureDisposes of a texture loaded with_spAtlasPage_createTexture._spUtil_readFileReads a file. If this doesn't need to be customized,_readFileis provided which reads a file usingfopen.
With these implemented, the spine-c API can then be used to load Spine animation data. Rendering is done by enumerating the slots for a skeleton and rendering the attachment for each slot. Each attachment has a rendererObject field that is set when the attachment is loaded.
For example, AtlasAttachmentLoader is typically used to load attachments when using a Spine texture atlas. When AtlasAttachmentLoader loads a RegionAttachment, the attachment's void* rendererObject is set to an AtlasRegion. Rendering code can then obtain the AtlasRegion from the attachment, get the AtlasPage it belongs to, and get the page's void* rendererObject. This is the renderer specific texture object set by _spAtlasPage_createTexture. Attachment loading can be customized if not using AtlasAttachmentLoader or to provider different renderer specific data.
spine-sfml serves as a simple example of extending spine-c.
spine-c uses an OOP style of programming where each "class" is made up of a struct and a number of functions prefixed with the struct name. More detals about how this works are available in extension.h. This mechanism allows you to provide your own implementations for spAttachmentLoader, spAttachment and spTimeline, if necessary.
