Godot SCML Importer

Godot is an awesome engine. Anyone using it deserves to be able to use the excellent resource and tools that exist along-side it. One of these is Spriter from BrashMonkey. I had access to a number of animated character that I wanted to use with Godot and I didn't want to need to recreate the animations that I already had. This is why I wrote this addon and have decided to share it.

Usage

• install plugin
• enable plugin
• import scml along with images maintaining the relativity that the SCML expects
• open the scml file in godot using the FileSystem dock
• adjust import settings using the godot import tab (first animation from file chosen as rest pose unless specified)

Tested/supported

• Godot
  • 3.1.1 (< 0.8.0)
  • 4.0, 4.1, 4.2 (0.9.1)
• Spriter SCML generator versions
  • r11

Known limitations

Not currently supported

• absolute values as found in e.g. generator version b5.95 that the GreyGuy sample comes with
• eventline (not sure what use case these serve - haven't investigated)
• object types other than bone and the regular object (sprites)
• all interpolation is currently assumed to be linear - other interpolations aren't supported for values
• looping values isn't interpreted

Changelog

0.9.1

• Ignore eventline when present for now to at least partially support the files
• Ignore points to prevent them from breaking things till support can be considered
• Adjust visibility of parts that might not be present in all animations to have them not be shown when not expected.

0.9.0

• Use rotation instead of rotation_degrees - this means that the key/values are now editable for the animations
• Move rotation calculus to use radians instead of degrees to avoid going back and forth between the two
• Introduce ability to control whether wrapping interpolation should be used for looped animations on import (defaults to off)
• Introduce ability to pick looping mode on import
