Loading SVG file

[kemz]

Is it possible to  load svg file of a sprite  in phaser?

I read here: http://www.html5gamedevs.com/topic/5267-phaser-svg-files/  that there is no support for svg images on phaser, sorry

 

anyway, you can draw sprites on inkscape, and export those pictures to gimp... that's what I do.

thanks . I think that's what i have to do.

Hi. A little late in the response, but you can load svg images in Phaser using the bitmapData object.

bitmapData is a versatile feature that enables you to render stuff in HTML5 canvas, so technically, anything that you can draw on HTML5 canvas, you should be able to do so in Phaser too. Here's what I did:
var mySprite = game.make.bitmapData(300,400) //create a bitmap data object, but not actually adding it yet to the stage

You can then use ctx (context in HTML5 canvas) to draw your svg. For example,

mySprite.ctx.beginPath();

 

So how do you get your SVG into your code? I drew an image in Inkscape, using the latest version (0.91) and there is a Save As...>HTML 5 Canvas option.

Just copy and paste the generated portion to your code, and add your var name to prefix it.
ctx.save();
    ctx.transform(1.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, 1.000000, -188.124050, -127.935690);
    

From Inkscape generateed HTML5 canvas
// #path2985
    ctx.beginPath(); //
    ctx.lineJoin = 'miter';
    ctx.strokeStyle = 'rgb(40, 33, 155)';
    ctx.lineCap = 'butt';
    ctx.miterLimit = 4;
    ctx.lineWidth = 10.400000;
    ctx.fillStyle = 'rgb(255, 230, 128)';
    ctx.moveTo(217.142860, 598.076470);
    ctx.lineTo(297.142860, 495.219330);
    ctx.lineTo(297.142860, 452.362180);
    ctx.lineTo(254.285710, 429.505040);
    ctx.bezierCurveTo(170.677070, 536.339150, 190.894420, 413.272840, 211.428570, 289.505040);
    ctx.lineTo(268.571430, 209.505040);
    ctx.bezierCurveTo(325.763380, 160.357620, 378.200010, 74.752689, 457.142860, 192.362180);
    ctx.bezierCurveTo(466.318390, 224.115920, 481.143040, 254.457370, 431.428570, 300.933610);
    ctx.lineTo(474.285710, 340.933610);
    ctx.lineTo(425.714290, 355.219330);
    ctx.lineTo(422.857140, 418.076470);
    ctx.bezierCurveTo(384.479520, 425.449090, 354.572490, 411.645250, 331.428570, 380.933610);
    ctx.bezierCurveTo(348.567220, 403.797060, 338.183020, 453.659070, 382.857140, 435.219320);
    ctx.lineTo(431.428570, 440.933610);
    ctx.lineTo(428.571430, 449.505040);
    ctx.lineTo(408.571430, 466.647900);
    ctx.lineTo(374.285710, 483.790760);
    ctx.lineTo(420.000000, 520.933610);
    ctx.bezierCurveTo(420.000000, 520.933610, 517.142860, 535.219330, 522.857140, 560.933610);
    ctx.bezierCurveTo(528.571430, 586.647900, 551.428570, 598.076470, 551.428570, 598.076470);
    ctx.fill();
    ctx.stroke();
    ctx.restore();

 

Simply add mySprite to each of the lines..

mySprite.ctx.beginPath(); //
    mySprite.ctx.lineJoin = 'miter';
   mySprite. ctx.strokeStyle = 'rgb(40, 33, 155)';
    mySprite.ctx.lineCap = 'butt';
    mySprite.ctx.miterLimit = 4;
    mySprite.ctx.lineWidth = 10.400000;
    mySprite.ctx.fillStyle = 'rgb(255, 230, 128)';
    mySprite.ctx.moveTo(217.142860, 598.076470);
    mySprite.ctx.lineTo(297.142860, 495.219330);
   mySprite. ctx.lineTo(297.142860, 452.362180);
    mySprite.ctx.lineTo(254.285710, 429.505040);

etc..

 

Then, you can add a sprite, then either add the bitmapData mySPrite as a child, or use the cache key as the image to load for the sprite.
