Contents

This repository is improved from gddragonbones.

1. Change to GDExtension for Godot 4.x.
2. Implement a import plugin to import DragonBones files automatically.
3. Imported Resource is DragonBonesFoctory:
   1. One factory can contain multi DragonBones data and Atlas data files.
   2. Can select DragonBones data and skin which are in factory to instantiate in DragonBones node.
   3. If detect DragonBones assets (for example, xxx_ske.json/dbbin and xxx_tex.json) in editor, it will generate a factory resource(xxx_ske.dbfactory) at the same folder.
4. DragonBones node:
   1. Remove mostly methods, all operations are work with DragonBonesArmature.
5. DragonBonesArmature node:
   • Instantiated by DragonBones node which accroding to DragonBonesFoctory, don't instantiate it by youself.
   • Don't free by youself, it will lead to crash!!
   • In editor, a proxy property in DragonBones node, which it's type is DragonBonesArmatureProxy, name is "main_armature", will be indicated as the main DragonBonesArmature node. If main armature have child armatures, it will have a "sub_armatures" property in DragonBonesArmatureProxy.
6. DragonBonesArmatureProxy is editor use only!! Don't instantiate by youself, and don't access relevant objects/properties, They are unavaunavailable in release build.
7. Can access DragonBonesSlot and DragonBonesBone to do some advance operations through DragonBonesArmature (but this is lack of test.).
8. I have not time to write a further description, please refer source code in "src/" for more details.

Others

I'm not familiar with DragonBones, so there maybe have some wrong concepts in my code. This repo is create for my personal project, and it is useful enough, so I think I will not do more optimize anymore. Of cource, if I encounter bug, I will try to fix it. If you have any improvement/repair, welcome to commit your pull request.
