Hi Guys!
Tell me please when will be released the official version 3.7?
Projects with which we work in 3.7 beta, do not open with version 3.6
why? How can we resolve this problem? :bang:

Thank you!

3.7 is 99% done. There is one more minor feature to complete, other than that once we've decided it is stable enough, it will be released as non-beta. 3.6 can't open 3.7 projects because 3.7 has features that 3.6 doesn't know about. You can try exporting to JSON with 3.7, then loading that with 3.6. Though the bigger the difference in versions, the less likely this will work.

Thank u very much for reply.

Another question.. We exported the project in version 3.7.36 to json format, the mesh animation does not work as it should in spine-cocos2dx 3.6. can you fix this issue? or we should wait next version of cocos?

Thank u!

Exporting mesh deformations seems to have broke in 3.7.36-beta. Prior versions (at least 3.7.32-beta and older) meshes would export with linear interpolation, now they export 'stepped' given the same spine file.

@kbagnall, sorry for the trouble! I'm not seeing that happen though. Maybe you can email your .spine file and explain how we can see the problem? contact@esotericsoftware.com

I think I have seen the same export issue yesterday. Will send spine project with exported unity skeleton later today.

On second thought it might have been bezier curve interpolation which is exported as stepped. I'll narrow this down next time I'm at work.

Email with repro project sent. Thank you.

The problem was solved! We exported json file in version 3.7
then imported data (json file) already in 3.6, pointed the way to the images, and corrected mesh animations :party: .

Everything is working. :sun:
Thank you!

Hi guys,
Yesterday, I tried to work with skins in version 3.7.
In the preview window, they are not displayed.. :angel: :tmi:

Hello alexandr, I just tested and I see the skins that I select in the tree or using skin view also in the preview view, do you have the latest beta version?

Hey!
Are there any plans on including Audio in skins?

I've got a skeleton with a few monsters, and one is a robot another a slime lord, another an alien crab... they make different sounds

It's an interesting consideration, but I think skins will likely stay dealing only with attachments. You can use a single audio event and add logic at runtime to choose the right sound based on the active skin. If you are exporting video, you could use audio events for each sound and disable the audio events you don't want to play.

Thanks!
I’ll end up doing that at runtime indeed, but... but... it sounds so logical to also preview them using skins? Don’t you think?

Sort of. You basically have keys that you only want to apply for a particular skin, which isn't a concept we have yet. Someone else recently had a vaguely similar request, where they have transform constraints that are needed for one skin but not another, and they wanted the skin to remember transform constraints settings so they don't have to adjust them manually. There might be something we can do for these cases, but I'm not sure how much we want to burden skins, especially when the workaround is simple enough (adjust things at runtime as needed).

Hello friends!
There are a couple of ideas about usability of spine.

To add tint optionfor animations names in the animation section for easier searching and dividing them into groups by color.

You can also make markers on timeline for the convenience (when we are working with keys switching the bones).

Just some ideas) Have a nice day!

Hi! well, what I meant was, I'd like to keep the keys like I already do, per animation, and then hook up different audio-files to skin slots in the same way I attach different images to different skins.

I guess my feature request is for "Audio support for skin slots" - but I know you're all really busy with other & bigger stuff I will ALSO really appreciate Keep up the good work!

Edit I see where my thoughts on this came from: in my mind an audio file is an attachment much like an image is. Which it of course isn't, but in my head it was

Is it safe enough to use the 3.7 beta withought any major crashes now that your working on the 3.8 beta?

Stability for 3.7 is our top priority right now. Any information about what you were doing just before a crash would be extremely helpful!

There are some crashes in 3.7 that we have not been able to track down. We get error reports of the crash, but it happens when drawing the skeleton. Something the user has done previously puts the skeleton in a bad state, then it crashes the next time it tries to draw the skeleton. Unfortunately the users experiencing these crashes haven't reported what they were doing that might have caused it, so it is difficult to track down.

That aside, 3.7 is otherwise ready to come out of beta. Many beta users don't experience such crashes.

awesome, thanks Nate thats great to hear. I've been looking forward to this update for a while now.
