Release Notes
Previous versions of Leshy SpriteSheet Tool supported a format known
as "JSON-TP." This was a JSON format that aimed to be compatible
with the files created from the
popular
TexturePacker
tool. Many tools and game engines have support for this format, so
by allowing it to be imported and exported, it can hopefully make
Leshy SpriteSheet Tool more useful.
When I added the original support for the JSON-TP format I searched
online for sample files and created an exporter that made similar
looking files. I didn't realize it at the time, but TexturePacker
had two popular modes for exporting to JSON. The one previously
supported stored frames as a hash, where each key was the name of
the file. Feedback was provided by user "Sruloart" requesting
support for the other format in which the list of frames is an
array, and each frame object has a "filename" key.
In order to make this work clearly the JSON-TP format has been
renamed
JSON-TP-Hash
and a new format has been added
as
JSON-TP-Array.
Both formats show up as being available for export, and both may
also be used to import a sprite map by dragging and dropping them
onto the window.
Some other small cleanups and fixes have been made in this release.
This includes a fix for potential issues with importing JSON-TP
files. Please report any bugs in the comments below.
