Title: added black texture with transparent into my atlas and all shifted
Post by: Spacez on July 08, 2013, 06:52:17 AM

i'm new to NGUI, after bought the full version and using it with my current project i got the problem.

i created some UIs with the textures in my atlas then i add black image with transparent into my atlas (after completely created some UIs using my atlas) and all images in my atlas all shifted.

am i doing something wrong ? any suggestions would be appreciated

here is my black image > https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/51053996/Pics/%5BWorld%5DBlack.png

Is there supposed to be a black image there? Just looks like a very large grey square. Not sure why you'd add that to an atlas to begin with. You can achieve the same size square by creating a 2x2 grey sprite and giving it a 1 pixel border all around, then using a sliced sprite to display it.

ok, let me recall some, because i dont know what i'm understanding is right

first, in NGUI, the more atlases i use mean the more draw calls will have ?
so i decided to use only one atlas and add everything into it. But, i dont know which textures i'm gonna use so i just add some textures when i want it. Unfortunately, some textures (such as the black one i posted) make every texture in the atlas shifted after being added. (i think i'm doing something wrong but what ?)

the reason why i added black image into the atlas because i want a plane-like UI that can be acknowledged when it's clicked (i have no idea how to check with the sliced sprite so i decide to do it using button, btw, button needs texture from atlas, that's why)


sry that i'm really newbie to this :(
i have not much time to watch every single videos in the youtube, so i chose somes (like basic, advanced, and some more that i think it's concerned to my project) and watched them.
Also, i read all of the tutorials and examples in the website. The idea of atlas, plane, anchor are really new to me, so i dont think i understand it clear now


Thanks very much for your help

Yes, multiple atlases mean multiple draw calls.

The problem is that the picture you posted doesn't have anything in it. It's just a big grey square. There is no black square in it.

sorry, my bad english skill :(

i meant that's the full black-colored image with some opacity. (so it looks like a grey one)
