Game definition jsons - Sprites and Textures (graphics.json)

[Stratego (dev)]

Here is the "sprites and textures definition" json: graphics.json


there are two listst:
- sprites (includes its own texture) - used for eg. projectiles (flying arrow) or spot animations (fireball explosion)
- textures - used for action icons, button images, indicator images

Code: Select all

{
	"sprites": [                                  
		{

			"onLayer": "HIGHLIGHT",

				"cropToRect": {"bottom": 20,"left": 10,"right": 20,"top": 10},               - you can cut a part of it to be the texture.
				"imgColumns": 4,                                                                             - 1 = single image, more: animation
				"animFrameDuration":40,								      - animation case: the time each image is shown (milli sec) - if 0 and decor sprite than it will be calculated from the animation or attack/move and last to the end of it.
                               "animFrameDurations": eg: [6000,200,200,200,200,200,200,200,200,200], sets the frame duration for all frames	in millisecs (if set, animFrameDuration is omitted)

				"soundPackIdString": "SOUND_PACK_WHIRLWIND_ATTACK"                 - in case of spot animation  - this can be the sound of animation. (fireball explosion )
			}
		},
		{			
			"idString": "SPRITE_ACTION_CANNONBALL",                                             - these are the individual textures (being no sprites), the definition is exactly same as above the texture within the sprite case.
			"addRotation": 0f,
			"onLayer": "HIGHLIGHT",	
			"postAnimIdString": "SPRITE_EXPLOSION",			                            - you can set another sprite that should be played on the end of this sprite anumation (like an explosion after the cannonball reach target)
			"texture": {

	],
	"textures": [
		{
			"idString": "XXTEXTURE_ACTION_CANNONBALL",

		}
	]
	
	
	
	
}

you can reference the texture and sprite "idString" in other jsons (eg. in effects.json)

[Stratego (dev)]

new values can be set on textures

Code: Select all

...
				"animFrameDuration":40,								      - animation case: the time each image is shown (milli sec)
				"animLoopCount":0,				                                              - animation case: how much time to play the animation
...

[Stratego (dev)]

new option for sprites:
"postAnimIdString": "SPRITE_EXPLOSION",


you can set anoher sprite that should be played on the end of this sprite (like an explosion after the cannonball reach target)


available for all games AOF/AOW/AOS
now i use it to have explosion for AOW tanks and ship attacks - target ill get an explision animation when the bullet reaches target.

oh i found what i needed! thnx

[Midonik]

What about the sounds tho?

[Stratego (dev)]

change, so added comment to this:
"animFrameDuration":40, - animation case: the time each image is shown (milli sec) - if 0 and decor sprite than it will be calculated from the animation or attack/move and last to the end of it (eg. sword-swing animation).

[Stratego (dev)]

new properties currently used on all types of decor animations

"translateX":-20, //in case of decor animations like sword slash, move decor, you can define translation where to draw the image from the default unit tile top-left position
"translateY":-10, //in case of decor animations like sword slash, move decor, you can define translation where to draw the image from the default unit tile top-left position
"fadeOutDurationSec":0.5, //on the end of an animation (eg. attack or move decor) how much sec time to fade out eg. 0.5 sec

[Stratego (dev)]

new

"animFrameDurations": eg: [6000,200,200,200,200,200,200,200,200,200], sets the frame duration for all frames in millisecs (if set, animFrameDuration is omitted)
