Black lines around sprites

[OzLark]

Is this not a bug in the andengine library or tmx extension?

It seems that we are trying to treat the symptom rather than the problem.

Lots of people have this issue, can we not track down this bug and squash it?

Wasn't it resolved in AndEngine GLES2 via the BlackPawnTextureBuilder?

Wasn't it resolved in AndEngine GLES2 via the BlackPawnTextureBuilder?

I havn't had a chance to try this out yet (can't find an example of how to use it)... But still, this may be a workaround for the issue, but I don't think it resolves it.

Is the problem well understood? Do we know what the problem is?

Thank you whalabi, I'm using GLES2 and was having the pixel line artifact problem with some of my sprites, used that transparent texture trick and solved all of my problems!

Sorry for going off-topic in the GLES1 thread, but to those who are using GLES2, the BlackPawnTextureAtlasBuilder takes perfect care of you by supplying parameters that allow you to add the spacing.

If you don't know how to use it, it's as simple as:

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Show ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

1.         // Build and load the bitmapTextureAtlas
2. buildableBitmapTextureAtlas.build(new BlackPawnTextureAtlasBuilder<IBitmapTextureAtlasSource, BitmapTextureAtlas>(0,1,1));
3. buildableBitmapTextureAtlas.load();

Parsed in 0.030 seconds, using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

The second and third parameters set to a value of 1 will resolve the line issue.

Just tried the hack by whalabi and it worked for me (in GLES2). Thanks.

Here is the solution, no hacks or tricks. Just add .clearTextureAtlasSources() to your texture altlas after you declare it. Hope this work for you too.

menuTextureAtlas.clearTextureAtlasSources();

Thank you whalabi, your suggestion work for me also.
The displayed black lines were gone.
