Having problems with the multi PNG import

Post by bapho » Wed Jun 22, 2016 8:24 am

Hi Chong,

I'm trying out the Windows trial version and I'm having issues in the first stage of the project. When asked to import multiple PNGs, it gives me a "Could Not Pack Images" error when I try selecting my images.

My images consist of the following PNG files:
1x image of 1280 x 720 resolution
15x images of 246 x 260 resolution
10x images of 330 x 250 resolution
1x image of 198 x 142 resolution

So it asks me to enter a Pack Image Square Resolution, I set it to its defaults (doubled it even) and it gives me the above error. When I select one or two of the smaller images, it's able to pack 'em up tho.

I'm hoping to animate this - the large image is primarily the background, which I'm going to chop up into image parts - but I'm looking at testing it the way it is right now to see what Creature can do. I'm hoping to be able to use this with Phaser JS game engine.

Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong here? Thanks!

EDIT: Ok, I think I got it to work.

Hello,

Yes you probably need to give it a much larger resolution value for packing.

Cheers
