Preload Spine Animation properly

xuquang

Hi,

I'm using Spine for animation in my game. I tried to preload animation by creating SkeletonData then create SkeletonAnimation from it. This is what I tried:

spAtlas* atlas = spAtlas_createFromFile("skill_poison.atlas", 0); 
CCASSERT(atlas, "Error reading atlas file.");

spSkeletonJson* json = spSkeletonJson_create(atlas);

SkeletonData* skeletonData = spSkeletonJson_readSkeletonDataFile(json, "skill_poison.json");

CCASSERT(skeletonData, json->error ? json->error : "Error reading skeleton data file.");

spSkeletonJson_dispose(json);


SkeletonAnimation* animation = SkeletonAnimation::createWithData(skeletonData);

The problem is there's a glitch(a short pause) when the animation first time played. Then when I create and start the animation second time and so on, there're no glitch. Please give me advice. Thanks.

if(pSkeleton){
   spSkeleton_setToSetupPose(pSkeleton);
   spSkeleton_updateWorldTransform(pSkeleton);
}

I noticed you were using CCASSERT, I assume that means Cocos2d/x, have you looked at https://github.com/EsotericSoftware/spi ... nderer.cpp

Loading the SkeletonData is what takes the most time. If you have already done that and even have the SkeletonAnimation instance, there should not be a pause. Where does the time go?

Haha, I was looking at the wrong post. I was thinking about a different question, I thought by 'glitch' you meant that the skeleton wasn't setup properly.

ignore my previous post. lol

Thank you Nate.
You're right. I found that other module causes the glitch. After fixing there's no glitch when play animations. Sorry, I'm so careless.

Hi James, thanks for your help anyway 🙂.
