[BUG report] I found something wrong about scml.exe mod tool

[asingingbird]

The scml.exe mod tool seems to have some sort of bug, or maybe I'm not using it right.

I'm reskinning some animation for my mod, to be more specific, sacred_chest. After recompile it using scml.exe, I got two broken animations:

the chest close animation

 

and the chest place animation

 

 

And Here are the detailed steps I toke:

1. Copy sacred_chest.zip from game_directory/anim folder to my Desktop

2. Extract sacred_chest.zip to folder my_Desktop/sacred_chest/, and now I get my_Desktop/sacred_chest/anim.bin, my_Desktop/sacred_chest/build.bin and my_Desktop/sacred_chest/atlas-0.tex

3. Convert Klei animation format to spriter project using ktools, this is the command I run:

krane.exe my_Desktop\sacred_chest\anim.bin my_Desktop\sacred_chest\build.bin my_Desktop\sacred_chest\spriter_animation_converted_from_original_sacred_chest_using_ktools

then I got the spriter project files inside my_Desktop\sacred_chest\spriter_animation_converted_from_original_sacred_chest_using_ktools folder

4. Do not change anything and recompile the spriter project back to Klei animation format using scml.exe, this is the command I run:

scml.exe my_Desktop\sacred_chest\spriter_animation_converted_from_original_sacred_chest_using_ktools\sacred_chest.scml my_Desktop\sacred_chest\repacked_animation_using scml_mod_tool

then I get the recompiled sacred_chest.zip in sacred_chest\repacked_animation_using scml_mod_tool\anim\sacred_chest.zip

5. Use ktools to decompile the sacred_chest.zip I just recompiled in step 4, to view the recompiled animation

6. Use spriter to open the animation project I decompiled in step 5, then I got those two broken animation.

 

I also tried place the spriter project in my_mod/exported folder, let the game compile it on start, got the same result.
