[SOLVED] Error executing Rive animation

Questions
#1

Hello there,
I’m trying Rive so I have just created a blank project to do some tests.
The Rive model i’m using is forked from here, it’s a community file I’m using just for test.
The version of the Rive extension I’m using is 2.2.0 and the Defold engine version I’m running is 1.8.1.
The project is mostly empty, what I do have is:

  • The main collection
  • The main collection has a game object
  • The game object has a rive model, and a script.

This is how the Rive model is configured.

Also, I am using the render script provided bu the Rive extension, as explained in the official doc.

The script only has an init function which starts the playback of the animation:

    function init(self)
    	local options = {
    		offset = 0.2, -- start 20% into the animation
    		playback_rate = 1.5, -- play the animation at 150% speed
    	}
    	
    	rive.play_anim("#rivemodel", "Timeline 1", go.PLAYBACK_ONCE_PINGPONG, options, function(self, message_id, message, sender)
    		print("Hello")
    	end)
    end

The code is pretty much copy-pasta from the guide.

I think it’s all correct, there should be no other steps from the guide, however when I try to run I get a fatal error:

which I’m unable to decypher…

I have a crash dump file also, but it’s binary and I have no idea how to open it.

The Rive model is rendering good in the editor however:

Could you share the project? :thinking:

ah sure! it’s indeed easier with the code :smiley:

hey, did anyone have a chance to test this? I have tried also different versions of the extension, none seem to work, on both windows and mac os. The guide to include rive is incredibly easy, i don’t understand if i’m doing something wrong.

Consider that i get build error even if i build the project completely empty, with no rive scenes/models imported.

Are there dependencies i need to consider? like having a c++ compiler on the machine? a particular JVM version?

Am i the only one that is uncapable of getting this to run? :smiley:

Hi, there was a small issue with the extension due to recent updates in the vulkan renderer, but I’ve now gotten it to work again with some smaller changes in the extension:

NOTE: You need to use Defold 1.9.0+ together with the latest released version 2.3.1:

To get 1.9.0, you can use the beta version of Defold or the latest alpha version of Defold (or wait until it has become a stable release)

That’s fantastic news Johnny! i’ll wait for 1.9.0 to become stable then, thank you!
