Nine Patch Plugin for Phaser

[angelan]

Hello! I really would like to start using this for my bullet hell Phaser game, but I'm having an issue where, when I load the Ninepatch image, I get an error in the function NinePatchCache on this line: 

this.baseTexture = PIXI.BaseTextureCache[imageKey] ? PIXI.BaseTextureCache[imageKey] : imageCache.base;

 

It says "Cannot read property 'base' of undefined". 

 

Here's some of my relevant code:

splash.js (a splash screen game state)

 

@preload

        // Load everything

        this.status.setText('Loading Scripts...'); this.loadScripts();

        this.status.setText('Loading Images...'); this.loadImages();

        this.status.setText('Loading NinePatches...'); this.loadNinePatches();

        this.status.setText('Decoding Sounds...'); this.loadSounds();

        this.status.setText('Decoding Fonts...'); this.loadFonts();

 

@loadImages
        game.load.atlasJSONHash('ui-atlas', 'assets/images/game/ui.png', 'assets/images/game/ui.json');

 

@loadNinePatches

        // I didn't change the numbers from the example because I just wanted to tinker with it first
        game.cache.addNinePatch('metalPanel_purpleCorner', 'ui-atlas', 'metalPanel_purpleCorner', 10, 10, 10, 20);

 

I made the atlasJSONHash with TexturePacker, so I feel like that is pretty solid. I'm able to get the metalPanel_purpleCorner from the atlas and use it as a sprite just fine, so I don't think it's that.

It's also worth noting that I'm on Phaser v2.4.3.

Am I doing anything else wrong? This is my scripts at the bottom of my index.html:
 

    <script src="vendor/phaser.min.js"></script>

    <script src="vendor/jquery.min.js"></script>

    <script src="vendor/bootstrap.min.js"></script>

    <script src="vendor/ninepatch.min.js"></script>

    <script src="src/engine.js"></script>  

 

Engine.js just loads what it needs for the splash/loading screen state.

 

I tried throwing these scripts to the head of my index.html, but that didn't work.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thank you so much for your time!
