We've started work on an official Godot plugin but that's still a bit away from release. There's a 3rd party spine-godot plugin, which ours is based on, as the author has generously donated it to us. You could give that a try in the meantime. But note that we are changing quite a few things around.

The original plugin: https://github.com/rayxuln/spine-runtime-for-godot
Ours can be found in the spine-godot branch (based on spine-runtimes 4.0) on GitHub: https://github.com/EsotericSoftware/spine-runtimes/tree/spine-godot

Looking forward to the official Godot support.

We are making good progress with the Godot runtime lately. It's turning out very nice!

Yes, they won't be compatible. You can follow the changes in the 4.2-beta branch. It's not ready for use in projects yet, but ready enough to play around with it and give feedback. V1 will try to cover all the basics as well as possible. V2 will the focus on things like AnimationPlayer support, possibly spatial support (currently it's only for canvas), and more.

I'll likely not post individual progress updates here. For that, have a look at the commits in the 4.2-beta branch. All commits related to Godot are prefixed with [godot]: https://github.com/EsotericSoftware/spine-runtimes/commits/4.2-beta. Alternatively, you can follow my ramblings on Twitter, but we aware that I do not post exclusively about Spine stuff

Hey. I'm also following progress on Spine runtime for Godot. I just want to report that I can't build Web version. Emscripten throws some errors and warnings when compiling Spine runtime.

If it helps, Rayxuln's spine-module-for-godot (linked above) compiles for web with no issues (on my end, at least). I'll be using that while the official support spends some more time in the oven.

If there's one thing I really hope the official Godot support adds, it's an easier way to attach arbitrary Godot objects to Spine attachment slots. I mean, it works, I can use it, but it's really clumsy and unintuitive. (And undocumented, IIRC - I only figured out how it worked by looking at the code itself!)

Actually, I just gave the WASM build a quick try, fixed the compilation error, build the export tempalte, and tada:

And now it's also compatible with Godot 4.x https://github.com/EsotericSoftware/spine-runtimes/commit/ccc43a386404eadb8544ea6957ab6b558d330cc3

I noticed the spine-godot directory on github is gone. Is there still a way to try spine in godot?

It's in the 4.2-beta branch:
https://github.com/EsotericSoftware/spine-runtimes/tree/4.2-beta/spine-godot

It works almost perfectly. I am eagerly waiting for the "Export Templates".

Can you elaborate on the "almost" part?

• In AnimationPlayer Node I click on "Add Track > Property Track", choose the SpineAnimationTrack, but i can't see the properties "animation_name" or "loop" (like used in example 08-animation-player)
• When I click on "Search Help" (Reference documentation in Script Tab), Godot crashes.
• The External Editor (Visual Studio code with godot-tools extension) cannot connect to the GDScript Language Server.

I build on my Mac with "./setup.sh 3.4".

Cheers! Issues 2 and 3 are likely due to the fact, that the build generated by setup.bat/.sh is a minimal editor buildmwith many modules disabled. I do this so iteratiom times on recompiles while working on the code are minimal. When we publish editor builds, they'll have all the default modules that come with Godot. You can fix this locally if you remove all lines from custom.py and recompile the engine/editor via setup.sh/.bat (build.sh/.bat will not work, as setup.sh/.bat configures the build).

Issue 1 is a documentation problem You don't want to create a track the SpineAnimatiomTrack in the animatiom editor, but the AnimationPlayer child of the track. Sadly, Godot's AnimationPlayer and editor don't allow custom track types, so this is a workaround. As a bonus you see the animation durations and names tho, which is MUCH better then only seeing a little diamond for a key.

Issue 3 "GDScript Language Server" solved! :yes:

Issue 2 "Search Help" NOT solved. Godot still crashes :no:

Unfortunately, your explanation did not help me. Perhaps I have expressed myself unclearly.

How did you manage the following? animation_name and loop do not appear in the selection. I tried to enter the entries manually, but of course it doesn't work.

Finally, in another AnimationPlayer, I want to put together the individual animations:
