Animation Becomes a Garbled Mess in Game Maker: Studio

Schuyborg

So I made an Idle animation for a new creature sprite in Spine, exported it to Game Maker, and placed it in a game room just as I've done successfully with two other characters made in Spine already.

The creature looks fine when I load the sprite and place it in the room, but when I actually run the game I get an aweful mess:

The mixed up bits and pieces are still moving as though the Idle animation itself is working fine. If I had to hazard a guess, I'd say the atlas isn't reading the texture page correctly, but I honestly couldn't say.

It should look like this:

I think maybe the problem might be in the way I'm exporting, but the Game Maker does display the sprite correctly in its editor. The issue is only when I'm actually running the game. These are the settings I'm using, which have worked fine for two characters before this:

BinaryCats

it just looks like there is a problem with the atlas file ?

That's what I figured but I have no idea how to address it

Export again

That was the first thing I tried when the issue came up, but it doesn't fix the problem. Fiddling with the maximum page hieght & width seems to change which bits of the images get mispaced where but doesn't seem to get me any closer to fixing it.
I even tried loading the original Gimp image into a new spine project and exporting that without animating or adding bones and it still got garbled.

Welp! I figured out the issue myself. For some reason, even though it was working fine for other exports with the old settings, everything worked after I checked the "power of 2" box and changed the max page dimensions to the nearest power of two.

Now this is probably a poor question,
but are you using the latest version of GameMaker and the latest runtime?

Me and my colleaque are using GameMaker Pro (latest version) and the latest Runtime and dont have any problems

Hi, I'm posting this because I have a possible solution, since I had the same issue:

Spine Version 3.3.07 Essential
Latest Game Maker version.
Furthermore, I suggest to install the English version of Spine, just in case.

Ok, now a very important thing. Create a Sprite in your game, name as you want. And now load only the .JSON archive. Despite Spine generates 3 archives in the same folder, you only have to upload the .JSON. It will take a moment, make sure that there is no error message in the source code. Once the .JSON is uploaded, you will notice that you can't edit the image, and now there is a Spine button to open the Spine program. This means that Game Maker recognised the .JSON.

Never use the Shear option while animating, since is not supported in Game Maker and will give an error if you try to upload the .JSON.

In my case it only works if I put the 1024 number in all the Pages option, maybe someone else made it with a different numbers, please tell us if you know any other working numbers ^^
