Libgdx texturepacker giving atlas9/24/2023 ![]() Eg, an application may want to place all the "game" images in a separate directory from the "pause menu" images, since these two sets of images are drawn serially: all the game images are drawn (one bind), then the pause menu is drawn on top (another bind). Otherwise, subdirectories can be used to segregate related images to minimize texture binds. If all images fit on a single page, no subdirectories should be used because with one page the app will only ever perform one texture bind. Images in the same directory go on the same set of pages. If the images in a directory don't fit on the max size of a single page, multiple pages will be used. For each directory of images TexturePacker encounters, it packs the images on to a larger texture, called a page. Given a directory, it recursively scans for image files. TexturePacker can pack all images for an application in one shot. Note that TexturePacker runs significantly faster with Java 1.7+, especially when packing hundreds of input images. TexturePacker can also be run from the standalone nightly, just substitute runnable-texturepacker.jar for gdx.jar extensions/gdx-tools/gdx-tools.jar in the above. ![]() Java -cp gdx.jar extensions/gdx-tools/gdx-tools.jar .texturepacker.TexturePacker inputDir Java -cp gdx.jar:extensions/gdx-tools/gdx-tools.jar .texturepacker.TexturePacker inputDir The TexturePacker class is in the gdx-tools project. (If you prefer to pack your textures using a GUI, check this tool: ) It also uses brute force, packing with numerous heuristics at various sizes and then choosing the most efficient result. ![]() TexturePacker uses multiple packing algorithms but the most important is based on the maximal rectangles algorithm. It stores the locations of the smaller images so they are easily referenced by name in your application using the TextureAtlas class. libgdx has a TexturePacker class which is a command line application that packs many smaller images on to larger images. Binding the texture is relatively expensive, so it is ideal to store many smaller images on a larger image, bind the larger texture once, then draw portions of it many times. So when cutting up the tiles for my tileset "shadow_light", I would start them from index 2048, one less than the gid, EX: "shadow_light_2048.png".In OpenGL, a texture is bound, some drawing is done, another texture is bound, more drawing is done, etc. This should be denoted at the top of the. For example, my second tilesheet starts from 2049, as their are 2048 tiles in the first sheet. For example: shrine_tilesetįinally (and this is the part I could not figure out), make sure each tileset's tile indexes start from the "firstgid" value in the. If it works correctly you will see the name of each tileset in the atlas file with an associated index based on the tile id. Second, re-pack all tiles from all tilesets into a single atlas in TexturePacker. You can do this with the crop command in ImageMagick like so:Ĭonvert.exe "shrine_tileset.png" -crop 16x16 "shrine_tileset_%02d.png" First, cut up the tileset images using a utility like ImageMagick and make sure they are indexed (specified by an underscore and number in the filename). Here is how to properly do it when working with multiple tilesets and re-packing your spritesheets in TexturePacker. tmx files are read I was able to fix my problem.
