Scaling down images and bones

IndieDragon

Hi,

So I made the mistake of starting with image assets that are much too large. I created my animations with these large assets. Its become a performance issue because the assets have to load. What I need to do is scale down the images to 15% of original size and scale down the bones to 15% of original size. Here's what I tried:

Disconnected all of the images from the bones.
Scaled bones down 15%.
Resized all images to 15%
Tried to re-attach new images to bones - it scales those images down to 15%... And now I'm stuck.

Anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks

If you're using TexturePacker Pro, you could keep the Spine project and data as it originally was with the high-res assets and only change the scale of the packed image+atlas data in TexturePacker.

Not sure if you can do the same with the plain libgdx TexturePacker

You want to scale it down in the editor? Try setting the scale on the root bone. At runtime you can set the scale on the JSON loader.

I was having this exact same problem and scaled it down from the root bone as said here. It works without displacement/errors but the graphics are too large that way, without scaling them in texturepacker. Is there a way to reduce the size of the textures also without causing displaced images?

You can do the following.
Export to JSON with Nonessential data checked.
Then export your images from your preferred image editor again at a smaller size.
Create a new project, then use Import Data and set your skeleton size to match your new image size.
