   Normal template from cocos2d 2.1 doesn't support iphone 5 assets out of the box?
   I had to make an extra method in ccutils and in my appdelegate to get the right suffix?

   When using texturepacker to make multiple spritesheets texturepacker assumes you will use the -hd texture also for the -ipad?? Since I am getting the -sd , -hd and -ipadhd spritesheets but not the -ipad spritesheets?

   Cocos doesn't support the use of -hd images also for the -ipad out of the box? Since only when I added the -ipad assets the right sprites were loaded on the ipad if I didn't add them the ipad would use the -sd graphics.

   Thanks.

   I think the main issue for me was, that iPad hd had the extension -ipadhd and I couldnt get that to work with texture packer.
   So now I always add this to the app delegate, but I havent checked if TP now has support for -ipadhd
   

   [ [ CCFileUtils sharedFileUtils ] setEnableFallbackSuffixes:YES ];
   [ [ CCFileUtils sharedFileUtils ] setiPhoneRetinaDisplaySuffix:@"-hd" ];
   [ [ CCFileUtils sharedFileUtils ] setiPadSuffix:@"-ipad" ];
   [ [ CCFileUtils sharedFileUtils ] setiPadRetinaDisplaySuffix:@"-ipad-hd" ];

   Texture packer latest version works just fine for -ipadhd now EXCEPT the version we are using which isn't the very very latest doesn't do pvr.ccz -ipadhd file over 2048x2048 on the windows platform. Other than that every combination we have tried which runs the gambit of what the majority would use work great. You don't need to do anything like that in your appdelegate from my experience.

   Ah yes some misunderstanding here. For me the -ipadhd images just load fine in cocos and are also right exported from texturepacker. But what I don't understand is why TP wont export this in one go:

   -sd
   -hd
   -ipad
   -ipadhd

   Now I can achieve this in one export:
   -sd
   -hd
   -ipadhd

   So where is the normal -ipad export?

   @birkemose yeah the templates from cocos 2.1 already load those from the start. But what I dont understand then is how you would support iphone 5 with those statements. Sure alot of assets from the iphone retina can be used for the iphone 5 but what about backgrounds and such?

   You don't need an -ipad because the default fallback suffix for iPad is -hd...

   But since the aspect ratios are different for -hd and -ipad, it's best to have both unless ratio is not important to your textures.

   @grillaface ah yes that's what I was thinking but should this happen only on a device or also on the simulator. I tested it only on the simulator cause I had no device at the moment.

   In my project at first I had no -ipad spritesheets or graphics. I am making an universal app I know it was ok on an iPad retina since I tested the project on it, I also tested it on the normal iPhone simulator and the iPhone retina device all was ok. Now I wanted to know if the iPad non retina was ok since I didnt have a device for this I ended up testing on the ipad simulator.

   So like you said grillaface I was assuming the -hd graphics were taken but instead it took the -sd graphics. So ended up copying -hd graphics and renaming them to -ipad doh...

   But if you say it should automatically take the -hd graphics on an -ipad then I can understand why TP only exports those assets. Thanks for clarifying and will look some more why the ipad doesnt take the -hd graphics.

   Cheers,

   There's a flag for enableFallbackSuffixes - make sure it's set to yes...
