You can set the key for animating the slot color if you select the slot and click the key button in the properties pane below the tree.
To move around the camera, just hold down right mouse button and drag the mouse.
We haven't had a chance to do too much Multi-monitor testing, but it is something we will look into.

Glad you like it, we wanted to allow people to support it on Kickstarter and be able to download the full version instantly from our website with a discount, unfortunately this was not possible since we don't get the emails of backers before the Kickstarter ends. You can however already buy the full version on our site, just keep in mind that runtimes aren't completely done yet.

Thanks!

And to all the guys who helped us with the beta testing, you rock

Nate is a horrible person who changed the wordpress site, but didn't change the phpBB forum. For each switch between the two a kitten died. Nate think of the kittens!

But thanks a lot We sure hope it will be successful. Either way, we will be using it ourselves for sure.

It will be during the kickstarter. Thanks for the support!

We have the price worked out, but I'll refrain from writing it in here, due to the fact that the kickstarter will have a few options. Currently I'm working on the last bits on the kickstarter video. That means, within one of the next couple of days, we're aiming for a friday release, but as always with these things, unexpected things can happen, so it's not set in stone. Oh and thanks

Not sure it would make much sense for you without documentation really. Maybe Nate can shed a little more light on that.

Took a small break from all the kickstarter stuff and recorded a little video showcasing the skins feature.

Now back to the less exciting stuff 

Thank you very much for the kind words, this mean a lot. We're currently putting final touches on things to be able to launch the kickstarter, I've been working on the example projects and the video for it, for the last couple of days. If everything goes as planned, it will be sometime during the coming week, hopefully in the middle of the week, Wednesday or Thursday *fingers crossed*



Great to hear.
We have decided on a price range yes Details on that will be up soon!

Afraid not, the file format changed due to skin attachments being added, was not possible to keep the old format.

If anything you should force it on in this case, not off.

Have you checked in the nvidia control panel if you're forcing vsync off ? This can screw with some things, not sure if it applies to your specific problem, but worth checking.

Drakkheim this is something Nate and I have talked about earlier and we will probably eventually make a specific node for it in the tree where you can place your background images. For now you can do the following though, place the images needed on a bone you aren't animating linked to the root. It's not optimal we know, but it will be improved later on.

We're using swing so we can make our own titlebar and make it sexier looking. Also a coupe of other benefits with that, but that's basically it, at least from my understanding, I'm just the artist slave, not the programmer.

StumpyStrust can you try downloading the nvidia opengl driver from https://developer.nvidia.com/opengl-driver please

I've been doing a bit of googling and have found a couple of interesting things, unfortunately none of which can be tested without being able to reproduce the problem myself. I wonder if its the combination of Nvidia and XP

Ah yes, I think I actually looked at what card that was at an earlier time, I wonder if the Nvidia quadro drivers are somehow wonky when it comes to LWJGL

Which graphics card do you have ? and which OS are you running ?

Dedara what exactly is the point of your posts? Now if you're complaining that we are charging for software largely built on OSS you are forgetting a couple of things. First of all spine would never have become public, we would have kept it to ourselves simply due to the fact that it would have been unpolished and pretty much impossible for others to use. By making the choice of charging for it, we have forced ourselves to polish everything, and by that needing to put far more work into it. Secondly, Nate is in fact one of the main contributors on libgdx together with Mario, hell even I have contributed things to libgdx, however limited, I am by no means an author though. I'm the guy behind most things artsy in spine, and many design decisions, if we had gone our original way, things would have been very different, and just to be able to use the runtimes you would have needed softimage to export the data from and trust me when I say it would have been far more expensive than spine will be.
If you still don't approve of this, then by all means feel free not buy it and use something else, but please do not derail this thread with unfounded bile.

Reading your posts again, I realize that you're probably trolling, I simply do not believe that you can be that naive, to expect everything to be free, in your eyes all games released using libgdx should be free as well?

@Orangy Tang

Not sure if Nate will be making documentation for the runtimes, but if I know him right, he probably will.  We will support some of the major frameworks/engines, but I can't give you a concise list yet.

Personally I'd go with the center method, but that's because I've worked with 3D for many years. Also, from experience I know that exporting stuff from softimage where I am using a script to write out animation, can be a pain in the ass if you aren't working with transforms, where the center is the origin.

Yes this is something we want to add later, it should be pretty simple to do at runtime in your game given the data you get, but we want to add an animation mixer for creating this later on.

A little hesitant to give you an exact date, but it will definitely be in January, maybe even a version with export in December.

Regarding your position issue, that sounds very strange, I'll see if I can reproduce. However click the zoom icon in the lower left corner of the viewport twice, to set the camera back to 0.0

I've just tested this, and I believe it has to do with the way lwjgl handles key input, if you use the switcher and not the shortcut keys for it, it doesn't cause any problems, ctrl seems to get stuck, so hit ctrl again after switching if you use shortcut keys to make it resume playback.

Thank you very much Nagi, we are making a couple of small changes to highlight that you can actually press the SETUP/ANIMATE and spine logo buttons Hope your artists like working with it.

I'm by no means good at this programming stuff, but aren't you creating a new Image each frame in the render method, instead of creating the Images in your create method?

Cool, really looking forward to seeing what other people will create with spine.
If you can tell us what it is you don't find intuitive, we will definitely look into what options we have to improve it.

I cheated and had ariel tell me what the result was, pasting stuff in eclipse is beyond me, you know that.

Thank you very much for your support
We are indeed in the polish phase, so we will get all the tooltips in before 1.0


You are not the only one on linux getting that error, and I believe Nate knows what is causing it and is fixing it. A new version to download will be up soon, a few bugs have already been fixed in it.

Fixed! I actually work a lot with vector graphics, so that was embarrassing 

Oh, completely misunderstood you then. I really can't say if SVG import will be possible, but Nate is following this thread and I'm sure he can chip in some information on the subject

Ok, libGDX will be the framework we create import classes for first
We're not planning on bloating spine, we have more features we want to add, but we want to keep it manageable and easy to use.
As for physics in libGDX, I believe good physics engines are a huge undertaking, so I wouldn't expect that to happen any time soon, what could maybe be done, is an easier way to integrate box2D in the framework, but that's beyond me


Glad to hear you are finding it easy to use
We plan to have presets for the graph editor, where you will be able to create your own and load them, so it's coming. Mathematical input sure is an interesting idea, but if it ever makes it in, I can't say.
Custom bone graphics is a good idea, but I can't promise that it will be added quickly, it's not something Nate and I have discussed, we have some more important things to implement first. What kind of bones were you thinking of, graphics wise?

Don't worry it wont be long before you can buy a version with export functionality in it, we're just ironing out the worst bugs at the moment

Out of curiosity, which framework/engine do you use ?
