PhysicsEditor help

AngryBoi

PhysicsBodyEditor will not open for me so I was wondering if someone could help with PhysicsEditor. I read through the GameSalad cookbook, but it doesn't make any sense to me on how yo get GameSalad as an export option. What plugin zip file do I extract, and where is the "game salad" plugin directory? Thanks

Does anyone know how to use this one? Or if anyone fixed their PhysicsBodyEditor program, could you tell me how? Thanks

@tappwater Games There is a version of Physics Body Editor here http://brainfisheatfishbrain.com/2015/03/physics-body-editor-java-7-mac-os-x.html that has been bundled into a Mac app with the Java 6 JRE included so will run regardless of any Java installation And @Armelline did a great video on using it http://forums.gamesalad.com/discussion/90103/video-tutorial-custom-collision-shapes-using-physics-body-editor/p1

If you are having trouble loading the PhysicsEditor plugin for Gamesalad, you probably need to house the plugin in an empty folder and point to that parent folder under preferences>Custom exporter directory in the application instead of the plugin itself.

So the folder structure would be:

• A folder called "Plugin" which holds the downloaded plugin file that you create.
• Point to Plugin folder rather than Gamesalad plugin folder itself that you donwloaded.

Quit the app and open it again then choose the Gamesalad plugin as the exporter on the pane to the right.

Then choose publish, sometimes the button wouldn't work for me so I had to use the File>Publish as menu instead.

One other thing to note is that it doesn't support "Holes" or in the context of the program, multiple polygonal shapes.

@tmann I use windows and body editor isn't working. Any suggestions? I even reinstalled Java and nothing. It opens but never actually loads the image I choose.
