Hi all,

I have managed to break the Spritesheet sample - it does not seem to like single/few small sprites. With either a single 32x64 sprite or two sprites of this size it borks out with the error printed at the bottom of this post. It will work with 3 sprites of this size, OR two sprites if one of them is larger. Is there a minimum size for the spritesheet, or is it something i am doing wrong?

(Also, i'd like to push the spritesheetpipeline and spritesheetruntime into a "utility library" instead of having them seperate projects; is this possible?)

Thanks,

Eljay.

Hmm...

Yeah, that was my first thought, although i the error is thrown from:

tileSprites = content.Load<SpriteSheet>

   ("Content\\SpriteSheets\\tileSprites");

• Took the version of the sample from the website
• Removed all sprites except the cat from the spritesheet XML file
• Resized the cat texture to be 32x64
• Built the project, and ran it on Windows
• As expected, it threw an exception when it came to draw the glow sprites that I had removed
• Commented out the code that draws the glow sprites
• Now it runs ok, drawing the stretched cat sprite

Weird, i downloaded it ok :s

Glad to help...

Just glad it didn't turn out to be "Problem Exists Between Chair And Keboard"

Eljay.

The proper fix is now up on the site! :) If you re-download the Sprite Sheet sample, the problem is fixed.

Thanks,
