I think there is an error in the extension. There is something wrong with the texture pack parser class(line 214).

Hi,

Could you show how to make a TiledTextureRegion with the sprite sheets in the example?

*edit* nevermind, You can just use the TiledTextureRegion constructor, correct? Just get the texture and region position from the texture pack.

Will there ever be a way to create an animated sprite out of a series of texture regions so we can just use Texture Packer for animations without having to make a TiledTextureRegion on top of the TexturePack?

Well the current Grid based TiledTextureRegion does not make sense to be used with the TexturePacker, as it can place the tiles anywhere in any order. The GLES2 branch will support it though.

I think there is an error in the extension. There is something wrong with the texture pack parser class(line 214).

Which revision Mine looks good at 214.

Does it throw an Exception or just display crap (maybe everything tinted red)

Best Regards,

Everything is tinted green, or barely visible at all.

@Nicolas I just got the latest extension and the problem seems to have disappeared. Which is weird since the first time I downloaded the extension was yesterday.

Although now I am having a problem with the newest andEngine examples. It seems like a few of the jar's for the extensions are missing. The ones I noticed were the multiTouch and multiplayer extensions.

Hi,

the AndEngineExamples are now using the Extensions as Library Projects, instead of jar files.
This is a bit of a hassle to set up multiple projects, but it just makes it sooooooo much easier if you are customizing the AndEngine code (i.e. have a local branch with a feature added or a field made protected instead of private.)

Best Regards,
Nicolas

TexturePacker supports RGBA5555 and this seems like a very nice compromise, dithering is a LOT less visible than with 4444 and still the resulting graphics are a lot smaller than full 8888.

Could this format support be added to AndEngine?

(Sorry for double posting, added this already to the Feature forum.)

I just tried using the extension and the script throws the following error:

Writing sprite sheet to ../assets/gfx/spritesheets/zombiejump.pvr.ccz
TexturePacker:: error: Failed to open ../assets/gfx/spritesheets/zombiejump.pvr.ccz for writing

What could be wrong?

I'll look into it. Might be that I simply forgot to add it.

Did you make sure the directories exist
