Hey Mitch, What are you plans for Unity 5?

Xelnath

Just bought a copy of Spine Pro and I've been reading through a number of threads on what you planned to do/not do when Unity 5 came along.

Where are your thoughts at? What do you have on the list? What did you end up deciding to pass on working on?

I'm curious because there's a number of quality of life type of things I want to do and don't want to duplicate work.

Kinda waiting for Spine 3.0 for a lot for a lot of things because it changes how the relationship between Spine Bones and Unity Transforms work dramatically.

I'm going to release a SkeletonRagdoll and SkeletonRagdoll2D later today though that is completely independent of SkeletonUtility that properly deals with all possible cases of FlipX and FlipY and is smart enough to do things like disable IK during ragdoll, use BoundingBox Attachments as Colliders, so on.

Is there anything in particular you're speaking of? 🙂 What're you planning on adding?

Xelnath

Specifically, I want to smooth out some of the rougher edges when you are constantly exporting Spine characters.

E.g. Overwriting clips rather than replacing them to avoid reference loss, possibly creating a data format to rebuild a mechanim graph, etc.

Still working out a list of all of the rough spots.

Oh, I also fixed an issue in SkeletonAnimator last night where it would pause the game if a mechanim clip had the name of an animation that didn't exist. Do you have a GitHub or something where I can toss a Pull Request?

Mitch

I work directly w/ the official Spine Runtimes and have merge authority there. Commit away and post a commit ID on the forums for faster review/response 🙂

E.g. Overwriting clips rather than replacing them to avoid reference loss, possibly creating a data format to rebuild a mechanim graph, etc.

This should only happen during Baking. Regular mecanim controllers that still use the Spine Runtimes should just auto-update.

Whoa! You're right! That's impressive. Every other package I've used I've had to fix that issue myself.

Ah... I'm a Spine Nub, can you point me to the URL? I'll commit there right now...

It's true. I've seen it. He likes showing it off sometimes.

That's what she said.

Why does she have a package? O.o
