Hello, I was told to contact you and request an older spine version to open and edit spine files for this package

Hello Packmaster, in order to open this file you need to downgrade your copy of Spine to the correct version of the files.
To do so go to Spine>Settings>Version and change to the desired version, restart spine and you should be able to open and save your file.

This doesn't apply to all older versions though.
The latest Spine can usually open old projects, and give you warnings where certain features changed.

But if the project was sufficiently old or were saved with an old quirky version of Spine, it might not load properly.

Would you happen to know what version was used to save those old projects?

I have tried every single version from the list
Latest version gives me this warning

All version 3.x.x cant open the file
Same goes for version 2.x.x
version 1.x.x opens without warnings but the scene is empty

I have no idea the editor version that created this file, i purchased the assets from online store, where i was forwarded from their support to here. I was told you have a solution but you cant provide one to the author as your staff member that can fix this is on vacation right now

I've looked into this and also replied to them. They haven't kept updating their project to subsequent Spine versions. The project appears to be made with one of the 2.x Spine versions and will require manual fixing on their end, e.g. change flip x/y using negative scale. I've emailed them about this, sorry for the inconvenience.

FWIW, the asset opens up in the latest Spine, we just display a warning dialog to signal that there are things in the project that need fixing in later versions.

thank you, so i just need to flip the scale manually?

Mario

Yes, replace the flip timelines with negative scale timelines.
