Couldn't access 2D Common's API

I made a Customized Atlas Tool, but the sprite editor I created is not as so good as Unity's Sprite Editor.

So I need to access 2D common's API which is protected at the internal level.


Currently, I changed 2D common's AssemblyInfo.cs like below:


This way is very inconvenient when 2D common is updated by Unity.


Could you make these API at the public level for customize editor making?

 

YES We need them be public !!!

 

bump up

 

Sorry for the misbehaving

I created an Atlas Tool with some customized features that Unity's SpriteAtlas does not support.

But the tool's sprite editor I wrote is not as so good as Unity's sprite editor, not supporting secondary texture or sprite outline.
Then I copied and modified 2D Common's source code for giving access to these APIs from my Atlas tool's code.

And you guys are so working hard, 2D packages are changed very frequently. For a long time usage, I must grab these changes to the changed 2D common codes frequently, that's a nightmare.

So please give the SpriteEditor API access to Unity's honest user.

 

You could not see the image attached in posts, so I recorded them as below:

These 2 classes level:
ITexturePlatformSettingsDataProvider | The editor of custom Texture ScriptedImporter about needs to inherit it for providing data

TexturePlatformSettingsHelper | Working with ITexturePlatformSettingsDataProvider

These 4 methods level:
InternalEditorBridge.GenerateOutlineFromSprite | For creating CustomTextureScriptedImporter's sprite outline

InternalEditorBridge.CreateTemporaryDuplicate | The function 'GetReadableTexture2D' which is implemented from ITextureDataProvider needs to call it

InternalEditorBridge.ShowSpriteEditorWindow | The editor of custom texture ScriptedImporter needs to use it open Unity's sprite editor for editing sprites

InternalEditorBridge.ApplySpriteEditorWindow | The editor of custom texture ScriptedImporter needs to call it for saving modifications in Unity's sprite editor

 

Yep, I created my own ScriptedImporter and hooked it up with Unity's SpriteEditor.

The importer import a file in my own format which contains information for supporting customized features.

We can create an atlas in the project, then edit atlas sprites in Sprite Editor and save the atlas in myself's file format.

At first, I created my own Sprite Editor Window for editing sprites, but the editor is not as good as Unity's Sprite Editor, missing secondary texture and sprite outline etc. So I decided to use Unity Sprite Editor instead.

 

@Ted_Wikman please take a look at these APIs, really appreciate your quick response.

 

This would indeed be awesome! I badly need access to the 2D Custom Outline functionality since mesh type = tight is not efficient for large sprites (say > 1024 resolution). If I had access to it, I could drastically reduce the size of my Sprite atlases while not introducing too many verts and tris.
