Fail to import to unity

newcomma

Hi,

I can't seem to import into Unity, I've grabbed the runtimes off the zip as described in https://github.com/EsotericSoftware/spine-runtimes/tree/master/spine-unity

Exported my spine with atlas ticked and it's produced a skeleton.atlas/json/png however when I then drag this into unity I get the following unexpected error:

'Atlas not found
Expecting skeleton.atlas'

Then it prompts me to locate it manually, however all files are greyed out meaning I cannot manually select the skeleton even when prompted.

Has this been encountered before / does anyone know how i can rememdy it?

Possibly a Mac specific thing.
Have you tried renaming the .atlas into a .atlas.txt?
You could also set the export extension as .atlas.txt in Spine itself and see if that helps.

This is a quirk in Unity where it can't use file extensions it doesn't recognize.
Normally, Spine-Unity's new auto-importer does that itself but maybe something's preventing it from doing that.

Let's see if Mitch has some input.

You nailed it Pharan thanks! Renaming the skeleton.atlas with a .txt extension solves it and correctly imports, I guess this is a bug in the current version of the importer?

Is there a better means to report this or would someone be able to move my topic into the bug section?

Nah, this is okay. It belongs to the runtime forum too. Mitch will be able to read it here.

You should set the extension to .atlas.txt inside Spine's atlas export settings so you don't have to manually rename it every time you export.

changing it outside of spine to atlas.txt and also inside spine does not work for me, was work all this time but it just crashed now. Every export says skeleton json import error ...
