[Beta Release] DeSpriter: Spriter (.scml) Animation Support for Defold

The Defoldmine
1

Hi everyone,

I’d like to share a new extension we’ve been working on: DeSpriter. It adds support for Spriter .scml animation files in Defold.

We made this because we needed a lightweight way to use bone-based animations from Spriter in our Defold projects, and we didn’t find any existing solution. So we built one and decided to open-source it.

GitHub: https://github.com/EVEVGames/DeSpriter

What it does:

Loads and plays .scml animations
Supports bones, sprites, timelines
Still improving, but already usable in actual projects

Hello,
First of all, thank you very much for this extension. It looks like it will be very helpful in my projects. However, I couldn’t get it to work properly. I’m a beginner game developer, so I might have made a mistake somewhere.

Hello, thank you for the feedback.
Could you please let me know which error occurs in the console?

We’re still working on the project — this first version might have some bugs.

I’m getting an error like this. The sprite is also not loading properly on the screen.
I’m also sharing the project files in case you want to check them. I’m using the character and animation set provided by Spriter Pro.

Thanks! I ran your project locally and got the same error.
We’ll look into it and update this thread once we find something.

Thank you for testing. I was able to confirm it’s a bug :spider: (I’ll fix it and let you know here). There’s also an issue with the scale and how the bones are referenced
