It seems that there are several common issues that can cause problems when importing an .atlas file. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve the issue:
Check for BOM (Byte Order Mark): Ensure that your .atlas file is saved without a BOM. You can use a text editor like Notepad++ to check and remove the BOM if present.
Verify File Extensions: Make sure that the file extensions are correct. For example, the .atlas file should not have an incorrect extension like .atlas.tx.
Check for Missing Regions: Open the .atlas file in a text editor and ensure that all referenced regions are present and correctly named. Missing or incorrectly named regions can cause import failures.
Ensure Associated Files are Present: Make sure that the associated .png files are present and correctly referenced in the .atlas file. Sometimes, the issue can be due to missing or incorrectly named image files.
Re-export the Atlas: If the atlas is not up to date with the skeleton file, try re-exporting it from Spine to ensure consistency.
Check for Transparency Issues: If you are using a texture packer, ensure that the setting "Ignore blank images" is disabled, as it might exclude necessary regions from the atlas.
Provide Complete Files: If the issue persists, provide the complete set of files including the .skel, .atlas, and associated .png files for further investigation.
