Can I change Spine Runtime Version to 3.8.75?

[eldon922]

I need to use my old version of .spinejson, but the current version of Defold can't accept it. Is there a way to change the Spine Runtime that Defold use?

You can try an older version of the runtime, but I'm not sure it plays nicely with a new Defold editor.

is there a way to know what version of Spine Runtime that is used by each releases?

Well, we should be better at listing the versions supported, but in your case, it's very old (we added support for version 4.x in 2021). And we never really supported 3.x versions (we jumped from 2.x to 4.x)

Also, we don't support Defold versions older than 6 months on our build server.

I'm curious, why you can't use 4.x for resaving the .spinejson?

Apart from anything else, the only workaround I see is for you to fork this spine extension, and add your preferred version of the spine runtime (probably some changes needed ofc, but should be doable with some effort)

i use dragonbones to create the spine animation but it can't export the project to spinejson with data version more than 3.3. can you elaborate more about adding preferred version of spine runtime and the needed changes?

It will definitely require a bit of work:

• The spine runtime from Esoteric is built as a library for each platform:
  • We have a script to help with this: https://github.com/defold/extension-spine/tree/main/utils/runtime
  • The runtime libs are here: https://github.com/defold/extension-spine/tree/main/defold-spine/lib
• The headers for the runtime are here: https://github.com/defold/extension-spine/tree/main/defold-spine/include/spine
• Once the runtimes are built you need to adapt the Defold Spine extension such that it complies with the specific runtime version. The source code for the Defold Spine extension is here: https://github.com/defold/extension-spine/tree/main/defold-spine/src
