CLI usage in Spine Trial

bassarisse

Hi guys!

We're evaluating Spine in the company I work for, to see if it would fit our workflow. One feature that would particularly help us is the Texture Unpack via command-line (http://en.esotericsoftware.com/spine-command-line-interface#Unpack), however, it seems that the CLI is not available using the Trial app. Is this true, or am I missing something?

Extra question: is the "Unpremultiply alpha" option, present in the GUI, available in the CLI?

Thanks!

Aye, non of the CLI options are available for the trial. You can contact us about an evaluation version: contact@esotericsoftware.com

In the full version (ESS or PRO) you can unpack via the CLI:
Command line interface - Spine User Guide: Unpack

There is currently not a way to use Unpremultiply alpha from the CLI, sorry. In newer versions of Spine the atlas contains pma: true when PMA is enabled. We'll have CLI texture unpacking perform un-PMA when that is present, starting in version 4.1.26-beta.

Note we provide our texture unpacker as FOSS, as part of libgdx:
https://github.com/libgdx/libgdx/blob/master/extensions/gdx-tools/src/com/badlogic/gdx/tools/texturepacker/TextureUnpacker.java
If you wanted to use that, since you have the source, you could customize it as you like.

There is also a libgdx TexturePacker, though it lacks some important features that Spine's packer has (no polygon packing, doesn't know about meshes, etc).
