Add animations support

[NathV]

This program has a cocos2d.js file for creating a .plist spritesheet file, but what about animations ?

We can add new defaultFormats or an "Auto-detect Animation" option (sprites ending with a number will be grouped in animations in the data file) as in TexturePacker.

Now there is only a preview of animation :(
Possibly in this window to make animation control (speed of playing and others)
And to use these data for publish in Cocos2D and Json?

I don't know as TexturePacker keeps animation, it will be necessary to look from where it takes settings

[NathV]

We can do this it if we want the user to have control over the options.
We can also do like TexturePacker, and add an "Auto-detect animations" option in spritesDockWidget, if this option is checked, the exporter will detect the sprite frames that start with the same name and end with a different number, and group them together in <array>, like here ---> https://pastebin.com/W5CViZ55. The problem with this method is that the user have less control, he can't set <delay> for example.

What do you think will be better ?

[amakaseev]

I think better to combine two ways

• automatic or manual definition of animation
• editing settings of each animation

[amakaseev]

TexturePacker keeps only spritesheet, without animation, even with included 'Auto-detect animation'

[NathV]

Yes i was wrong, they use a "getAnimation" method with cocos2d-x : https://www.codeandweb.com/texturepacker/tutorials/animations-and-spritesheets-in-cocos2d-x

I have already begun to expand animation preview dialog for creation of animation
possibly it will be useful

[NathV]

I am working on it to

[amakaseev]

please look at the last changes
I already have almost made everything, it was necessary to make only save and publish

if you have a desire to expand the editor of animation and to add publishing, would be remarkable.
unfortunately I have not a lot of free time as it would be desirable :(
