Exporting - alias not working

MissJJ

Hello! Does anybody have problems with alias option while exporting?
I have few images in my skeleton that are identical and it is very important to export every each image to a png file. But spine while exporting is merging (packing) the identical elements into one (on a final png file). There is an "alias" option in the settings but it makes no difference if I check it or not. Spine team - could you check please if there is a bug or something? :S

Hi Missjj, when "Alias" is checked, Spine will export the images that are exactly the same just once.
It seems like you're exporting an atlas but you want a grid, is it correct? you could try to change that setting (otherwise, I'd need a slightly more detailed description of the expected export)
here you can find what every setting does in detail: Texture Packing - Spine User Guide

The problem is that the Alias option is not working - it can be checked or unchecked, it doesn't make a difference. For example - I have a hero who has 2 left legs that look identical, pixel to pixel. And I want them both to be exported (NOT just one). When I uncheck the Alias option - Spine still exports that two left legs as one left leg. I have to change few pixels on one of the left legs to let it be exported too. But the Texture Packing solves the problem with not working alias, thanks Erikari 🙂

To be clear, if you export as part of JSON or binary export, then alias does nothing, but if you export by running the texture packer separately then alias works as intended?
