Bevy Heterogenous Texture Atlas Loader

Bevy Heterogenous Texture Atlas Loader allows you to load heterogenous texture atlases according to a RON file manifest.

Suports Bevy 0.6 #

Basic usage

1. Add to your project's Cargo.toml [dependencies] section

   bevy_heterogeneous_texture_atlas_loader = "0.5"

2. Add the TextureAtlasLoaderPlugin to your Bevy App. use bevy_heterogeneous_texture_atlas_loader::*; app.add_plugin(TextureAtlasLoaderPlugin)

3. Add the atlas source image and .ron manifest to your assets folder.

4. Load the texture atlas manifest using the asset server: rust let atlas: Handle<TextureAtlas> = asset_server.load("<path>.ron"); The plugin will then load the atlas image and create the TextureAtlas asset automatically.

#

The Manifest

• To create a manifest for a sprite sheet with irregular sized and positioned sprites like:

  

1. Create a .ron file in your assets folder.

   Each sprite can be given a unique name that can be used to look up their TextureAtlas index using a weak Handle<Image> with the asset_path "example.png#sprite_name".

   ``` ( // Path to the texture atlas source image file path: "example.png",

   // width of the source image in pixels
   width: 256,                
   
   // height of the source image in pixels 
   height: 256,              
   
   // NamedSprites variant allows you give each sprite an identifying 
   // asset path.  
   sprites: NamedSprites ([    
       (
           // use a weak handle with the asset path
           //      "example.png#yellow" 
           // to retrieve this sprite's index.
           name: "yellow",     
   
           // top left y coordinate of the sprite in pixels
           y: 19,              
   
           // top left x coordinate of the sprite in pixels
           x: 18,              
   
           // width of the sprite in pixels
           w: 46,              
   
           // height of the sprite in pixels
           h: 48               
       ),
       (
           name: "face", 
           x: 93, 
           y: 108, 
           w: 32, 
           h: 31
       ),
       (
           name: "patches", 
           x: 176, 
           y: 34, 
           w: 20, 
           h: 34
       ),
   ])
   

   ) You can omit the names of the sprites if you don't need them: ( path: "example.png", width: 256, height: 256, // Sprites variant accessible only by usize index. sprites: Sprites ([
   (
   // sprite at atlas index 0 x: 18, y: 19, w: 46, h: 48 ), (
   // sprite at atlas index 1 x: 93, y: 108, w: 32, h: 31 ), (
   // sprite at atlas index 2 x: 176, y: 34, w: 20, h: 34 ), ]) ) ```

   • The sprite indices in the output TextureAtlas are ordered implicitly according to the order of the input list sprite rects.
   • Use name: "" to skip naming a sprite in a NamedSprites list
