Not to say it can't be ported, I just don't know how.

Thanks for the Answer.
I kind of find a way to solve it, it was tedious but it worked. I wrote down all the Coordinates of Rotate and Translate. Ported them into the 2.1.27 version and it worked.

Awesome that's great. So easy to make a mistake when modding classes. My biggest piece of advice with modding this game - is be careful with the syntax. One pesky error can cause the whole thing to crash lol.

Hi! I'm in need of Help.
Working in Spine and have done Animations and the Sprite for my Custom Class mod (WIP).
Doing it all in the latest version, which might have been a Big misstake. Does anyone know how to Port the project into 2.1.27 so I can export it into .skel format and test it out. Or do I have do do everything over again in 2.1.27. Or does anyone know if the Current version 3.8.95 works for Darkest Dungeon?

Oh, thank you so much!

I should add - using the base skels will make things run easier and smoother in game. When I tried making my own skels - things were jerky in those classes. Now, if you have experience with building skels or want to take the time to learn it, then you can create anything.

But you can easily modify existing skels to have smoother animations in game :)

Hope this helps.

Thanks

All I used was the essential version for a while. Made quite a few brand new characters. I used the base spines from vanilla classes as a base though. But I could make my own from scratch, I didn't due to lack of experience.

But yes the essential version can do it for you. There are some features that come with professional that improve upon that, but not needed for this.

Most likely a syntax error in one of the skills - check your .info file, .art file, and your localization file for any spelling/syntax error. Syntax errors or any mistake in skill/effect naming leads to crashes in dungeons.

Hey, I'm new to this community and to modding for DD in general, but I have an animation question.

I made all of the animations for a mod I'm working on in Spine. They were exported in the proper version, and the class I'm creating exists in the game, but none of the images I attached within spine are properly attaching in game, so the movement is just white squares.

The skeletons are working, because each animation looks how it should, just none of the images came through.

Any help would be appreciated.

White boxes most commonly is a png issue (exporting through spine should not cause that, unless you edited the images after the fact).

More likely you have named your files incoreectly - so the game can't find them - resulting in the white box.

Be sure that idle, walk, and combat are named like example: sorceress.sprite.idle. Then in the animation section named idle

For an attack.... sorceress.sprite.attack_magic should be how the naming should look. In the animation section it should be called attack_magic.

Make sure you have that naming down correctly and export again.

No prob - glad it worked out :)

If theyre the same animation, why would they be different? The art file is just for combat, right? No animations are missing, like no errors at all ever since I renamed things in Spine.

Edit: more notes- The weird floating parts animate. I deleted everything in the fx folder (I was gonna work on that later, and it worked fine when I was using Man at arms existing anims).

Yeah seems strange - let me run a few points with you.

You have a png, atlas, and skel file for each of the idle, walk, and combat animations correct? So a total of 9 files between them.

In spine when making and exporting your images your settings the following?

Spine version is set to 2.1.27
When exporting - set to Binary.
When exporting - create atlas is checked.
When exporting - in settings max width and max height are both set to 4096
When exporting - in settings power of two is not checked.

Check these settings and re-export your animations.

Also - before you export make sure that you have named the animation itself - not just the name at the top - under heirarchy when you go down the list there is an option called animation - open that and make sure each of the files are named right - idle for idle, walk for walk - etc.

Check these things and let me know how it goes.

Yeah me too - really confused as to why that is happening to you. I have never seen that happen before. What programs are you using?

Hi all! I've been working on a class mod and I'm reaching the final stages. I'm having an animation issue that I just can't seem to shake. I've made sure to name everything correctly in Spine and in the files, which got rid of Spine: missing animation errors, but now I have this peculiar mess:

In the character detail screen, the animation plays just fine but in the dungeon, it's just the png of the cut body parts.

I'm at my wit's end, any help is appreciated.

Is the distorted image the Walk animation? Or is it the idle - your status screen and idle should be same as they are the same file.
