Anyone know any game engine (preferably free) that can work with .skel files? I have searched online for sometime now but I can't seem to find any. Well I did find Unity3d but i can't seem to open the .skel file properly. Gamebuilder seems promising but the Spine plug-in is in the pro version which you have to pay $99.99 for. The rest I have found online just uses .json files which the game doesn't come with.
So, does anyone know of one that might be good?
The reason for looking-
I am trying to mod a game called Darkest Dungeon which used Spine for its animation. The game has a .atlas, .png, and a .skel for every move. My goal (on our tiny team of 2) for modding is to create a new character that uses the same skeleton as the original character of the game but since it's a new look, I just have to change things in the .png images. Sounds easier than it is since it requires for everything to fit precisely else there might be gaps or parts overlapping when you view it in the game. The game doesn't offer a quick way to view our progress so we are left with changing things in the .png, loading up the game then going through a long process to see if it works or not, then coming back to tweak things, So the way I am thinking about shortening the time it takes to see how the character looks is to load the .skel, .png, and .atlas file in a game engine which would make it much faster to see if something needs tweaking or is odd. I have searched for a while now but many game engines that I have found only work with .json. Unity almost works. When I import the game data into Unity, it creates a material file on its own but it cannot create a data fle when I change the skeleton file from .skel to .skel.bytes. I have a newer version of Unity and the spine unity plug-ins. I am not sure but I think it might have something to do with the game being created somewhere between 2014 and 2015 therefore the .skel file might be considered out of date.
I have tried to import the .skel file into Spine in order to update it but I keep on getting an error.
Anyway sorry for the wall of text. If anyone know of free game engines that can work with .skel files, or a way to have Unity work, please let me know. Attached are the three file I am trying to get to work.
