@princefrog Did you use this Import Tool to import it?

Can you provide the plist resource in the error message for us to verify?

Cocos Creator 3.0 only supports Atlases packaged with TexturePacker 4.x or above, please update the .plist. See the Atlas assets documentation for details.

any tool or easy way to convert existing .plist created by shoebox to texture packer’s?
It’s quite a large project and I have many files to work with.

#6

@princefrog the error is caused by one less supported image data read field, you can add this field in the plist file here:
