A fast, easy to use, free, and community supported 2D game engine
Hi there,
I found it cumbersome to handcraft a TextureAtlas since our TextureAtlases change frequently. An automated process saves a lot of handcrafting time and is less error prone. We posted our TextureAtlas generator perl script at http://zombiesmash.gamedrs.com/?p=114.
It creates Texture Atlas and C header files from an Atlas description file.
I am happy to donate the script to the cocos2d sources if you guys think it is useful.
Cheers,

hi zombie,
could you explain more less what does it do ?
Does it generate a texture atlas from individual files ?
If so, are you using a special algorithm to order the images ?
Riq,
yes the script generates an atlasimage from individual png file. It will generate a png and also the pvr image together with its png preview. You also get a header file with all the coordinates you can use in your code.
The packing algorithm is based on http://www.blackpawn.com/texts/lightmaps/default.html. Its not perfect, but it works. I think the problem is NP-complete, so not so easy to solve :)

thanks. donation accepted :-)
I've added the script in tools/

Alpha blending bug (alpha channel not copied for first image in Atlas) was fixed by anonymous contributor (Thanks!). I updated the script at http://zombiesmash.gamedrs.com/?attachment_id=134 and hope someone can update it in cocos2d/tools.
thanks. fixed.
