Hello!
I'm from Russia and I’m using a translator, so please excuse possible mistakes.
Could you please help me find a Russian language pack (localization) for Unity 6000.2.8f1?
I really want to make the editor interface in Russian, but I can’t find an official or working file for this version.
Thank you very much in advance!

I followed the usual instructions (Editor → Preferences → General),
but there is no “Language” option in the menu.

Thank you very much in advance for your help!

[plain dagger]

There is no official language support for russian. Unity only provide japanese, korean and chinese also.

you would have to research if someone else was able to make this. Knowing some English is important anyway to read and write c#

note also that unity has stated they would comply with any sanctions and export restrictions towards RU, and that you may be affected by those in unexpected ways, you can count on unity struggling to, or refusing to provide support to russian nationals because of this.

[worldly cave]

i feel like english would still be a pretty big requirement for any scripting language 🤔

[plain dagger]

c# is not scripting but languages like c++ where you can define custom symbols can let you work in another language

[sly lake]

That’d be something

[plain dagger]

too many people abuse #define and its very annoying when trying to introduce external code into some ancient codebase

thanks valve (source 2013)

I loved debugging that 😐

We like modern things hence adding a json parser (we also upgraded to std 20)

[gray frigate]

there should be a preprocessor directive called #surprise that just introduces a fun surprise into the code

rather than having to manually come up with a fun surprise

[polar basalt]

have it be 1 out of 10 times it just removes the codebase and force pushes it to the main

[inland river]

#define IF_YOU_READ_THIS_QUIT_THIS_JOB_WHILE_YOU_CAN

[sand kraken]

Anyone else experiencing crashes on Unity 6000.2.8f1 like, every 10 minutes? I'm working on a multiplayer game and, most often when in play mode, Unity crashes like 4-5 times an hour.

[hollow gyro]

Where should I go if none of my unity games launch? Not a developer (yet) just a gamer.

[near wigeon]

Ask support from the developers or google

[hollow gyro]

I mean, multiple games with identical issue so not sure how useful the developers will be

[near wigeon]

right so most likely is your hardware / driver issue. This isn't a support discord for Unity made games though

[mystic abyss]

Similar vibe to the "I followed the tutorial exactly" counter I see somebody post occasionally

[inland river]

exactly

[gusty fossil]

Anyone know the cause of the in app purchase UIFakeStore window scaling issues? The buy and cancel buttons are so small I cant even click it.

[trim crane]

Hey, i'm trying to make a 3rd person POV for my game with cinemachine and in the process I wanted to change active input handling to old but its not changing after the restart, does anyone know how to fix this?

[fleet canopy]

why does unity automatically install versions of packages that aren't latest when i set up a blank project

every time i create a project it tells me about the deprecated jetbrains rider extension and i have to manually update it

[copper gust]

some packages get updated after that unity version was released, the versions targeted by the unity release are the ones that were latest and stable at the time

[balmy kettle]

the project templates include package manifests which specify a package version. like batby said, these are typically the latest versions available at the time the template was created. so packages that have updates won't automatically install those newer versions until a newer version of the project template is released, which would be when the editor updates

[fallow rock]

how do i add text to a sprite im using a texture with the texture type set to Sprite (2D and UI)

[viral hill]

why are you trying to add text to a texture

use tmpro

[fallow rock]

i want it to act as a billboard ui that follows the camera and is connected to an object in the 3d space

rather than on the screen

[viral hill]

worldspace canvas exists

[fallow rock]

idk what that is

can you explain why you are here

[viral hill]

to help people

[fallow rock]

telling people to google isn't really helping

[viral hill]

the name of "worldspace canvas" is self-explanatory. im not gonna sit here and explain it to you like you're 5

google it if you need further explanation

[viral hill]

also, google should be the first thing that you use to try and solve a problem, not coming here

[fallow rock]

i did and didn't find a solution thats why i came here i'll try your solution of using a world space though

[fair cove]

Sounds like your project settings might not be getting saved, id try to change the input handling to "both" then go to "File" in the top left and do "Save Project" that should save project settings too, the other "Save" specifically only saves your scene changes - if it is still reverting after a restart, then maybe you have some editor tool thats forcing the setting

[viral hill]

you cant manually save since switching input handling restarts the editor immediately

[fair cove]

Oh really? Well rip... Well you can use the "new" system very similar to the old one anyway if you poll Keyboard.current or Mouse.current in Update anyway

[unreal jewel]

but you really shouldn't do that

[copper gust]

i mean unity games we're doing that for years

[alpine void]

When I got pass this point it just goes into this weird angle but as u can see at the top it doesn't stop the game

[viral hill]

no one wants to see or hear this. take a screen recording

[alpine void]

ok

[alpine void]

here

[viral hill]

idk if it's just me but it's not loading

[alpine void]

can u try again

[viral hill]

ok it's loading now

the game is being paused and the "weird angle" is the transition from game view to scene view

did you make this project on your own?

[alpine void]

yes

[viral hill]

looks like there may be a trigger there that is pausing the game

[alpine void]

well

i do have a thing there like a code so that pass that point the enemy character cant go into the spawn room

but idk why its affecting the player

if may be something else

[viral hill]

nothing can pause the editor except for a specific keybind or code execution

[wraith coral]

Hiiii
I am working with AR navigation

[alpine void]

how do i know

[wraith coral]

In tht we add POIs
But I am not able to categorise thm

[alpine void]

f its code problem

[wraith coral]

This is the problem I am facing

[trim crane]

ill try that and see, thanks

[viral hill]

because you wouldve had to write it yourself

[alpine void]

the code is for the enemy character

not for the player tho

so why is it affecting player

my player is set on a different tag as wel

[alpine void]

i didnt im new so i dont kno whow to code

is for a school project

[viral hill]

so who wrote the code for the enemy

[alpine void]

shall i sent the code

[alpine void]

chat***

my teacher sadi we can use

becuase this is not coding task it is multimedia

sorry pleas dont get angry

shall i send the code?

[viral hill]

your teacher is setting you up for failure

[viral hill]

im not mad, it's not your fault

[viral hill]

sure

[alpine void]

im not doing it next year its fine

these aren't causing the problem

[wraith coral]

Hii
Me and my team are building AR navigation using multiset and unity
And we can download packages using multiset github link
In those packages all the navigation ,localization etc is built
We shd add POIs to navigate
But the problem is as you can see in the pic all the POIs are jumbled and i want to filter them by dividing them into category
For example First Floor is name of a button
If i press than button I need to be able to see all the POIs only in first floor
How to do it ??
Can anyone plz help

[viral hill]

open your ide, press ctrl + shift + f, and search for "editor"

[alpine void]

sorry, i pressed ctrl shift f but nothing came up

is there a direct way to get to editor

[viral hill]

what ide are you using

[alpine void]

visual stuido

[viral hill]

does anything come up in the top right if you just press ctrl + f?

[alpine void]

oh sorry i was doing control shifet f in unity

yes something came up

[viral hill]

press find all

[unreal jewel]

check your console, you might be getting errors with error pause enabled

[viral hill]

good call, i completely forgot about that

[alpine void]

i look for error pause ones?

[unreal jewel]

just for any errors

[alpine void]

theres only oen red

[unreal jewel]

-# well usually exceptions

[unreal jewel]

there should be zero

[alpine void]

like idk how to fix it

cause its wrong

hding spot is defined in this script

[alpine void]

player code one

[viral hill]

https://docs.unity3d.com/540/Documentation/Manual/Tags.html

[unreal jewel]

read it

[viral hill]

scroll down to the applying a tag section

[viral hill]

not in the script, in the editor

[alpine void]

i did this

i have one called HidingSpot

look

[unreal jewel]

the reason it's pausing the game is probably because you have error pause enabled which pauses the game when you get any error or exception

[ivory moat]

Send a screenshot of the script component in the editor

[alpine void]

wait i didnt have a hiding spot one

but i added

but its not going away

[alpine void]

oh

let me open

[unreal jewel]

but you should fix the exception

[alpine void]

ohhh

wait so if thats untick let me try

[unreal jewel]

double check your spelling

[alpine void]

OMG

YAY IT WORKED

[unreal jewel]

the game's gonna run but it's not gonna function properly

[alpine void]

i can go through that place now

[alpine void]

oh

so i should get rid of the red one

[unreal jewel]

yeah

[ivory moat]

Yeah but your script will still be throwing the error so it'll stop running

[alpine void]

they are same spelling

but still not getting rid of it

[ivory moat]

Ok send script

Wait

[alpine void]

^ here

[ivory moat]

Did you write the tag to compare as

[unreal jewel]

did you play the game again or is that the old error

[ivory moat]

HidingSpot

and not "HidingSpot"

[alpine void]

oh that has been there for ages

[ivory moat]

It needs to be a string

[unreal jewel]

clear the console and play it again

[alpine void]

wait

im very confused with what u mean sorry

[alpine void]

ok

[unreal jewel]

that'd be a different error

[ivory moat]

Send the script also

Or a screenshot

[unreal jewel]

and a compile error instead of an exception

[alpine void]

wait

it doesnt come up

before it came up when i left spawn room

but now it dont coem up

so i think its fine

[unreal jewel]

yeah because you fixed it

[alpine void]

yay

thank you guys

also idk why

[ivory moat]

Did you forget to clear it since before you fixed it a long time ago lol

[alpine void]

but i have box collider on my object but it still let my charcter go through

[alpine void]

yes

sorry

[ivory moat]

more context?

are either of them a trigger

[unreal jewel]

is it set to trigger

[alpine void]

i have a box collider on all my object on the ground eg this door

[ivory moat]

Does the character have a collider?

[alpine void]

my charcter goes through

[alpine void]

yes

[viral hill]

you shouldnt have a character controller component and a rigidbody

[alpine void]

it works with some objects

but for the others it doesnt

[alpine void]

oh

[viral hill]

or a box collider here at all

[alpine void]

wiat but im scraed that if i remove someting now

it will mess up my projec

[ivory moat]

why not a box collider?

[alpine void]

[viral hill]

the cc is a collider

[alpine void]

wait i thnk ill just move the door backwards so the characte doesnt interfere with it

[ivory moat]

oh real i've not used cc, thanks

that shouldn't cause the issue though

[viral hill]

yeah but its an issue

[alpine void]

my hiding spots are working now

i set the tag as hiding spot and in my code it should be working but it not wokring

maybe it becuase i use layer not tag?

[copper gust]

well if your checking for tags

you'd need to use tags

because that's what your checking for

[alpine void]

what do u mean

im onfused

[copper gust]

By what

[alpine void]

i think im using layer

like i put the layer as hiding spot not tag

[copper gust]

Have you tried putting the tag as hiding spot

[alpine void]

yeah

did nothing

should i try and put the tag as hiding spot

and layer as none?

[copper gust]

sure

[alpine void]

hmm it didnt working

[wraith coral]

Some one plzz

[ivory moat]

Send a screenshot of the script?

[stable perch]

id need a bit more context as to what youre representing a poi as in your code, but generally you could make each poi store its floor and then run some code when you display the poi's that compares the poi floor to the floor that should be showing

[wraith coral]

Like the for adding pois we create a parent gameobject called POI
In that we store all the required POIs but it's jumbled as you saw in the picture above
I want to add buttons and when I press tht buttons I want only certain pois to be shown

[stable perch]

ok, make a POI class that stores all the data for a given POI, then make the parent game object hide/sort certain POI's based off the data in said class

[wraith coral]

I am not able to make it
Actually idk anything abt unity or c#
I recently started it

[stable perch]

i can give you a full break down of exactly how to implement it, but a few caveats:
it would take a while and i need to go soon so we'd prolly have to wrap it up tomorrow

you wouldnt really learn anything if i did that

What id reccomend doing is breaking down what you want to do into very small, very specific steps. if you run into a problem implemenitng one of those small, specific steps then ask here

the general vibe is that we wont do it for you but we'll help you figure out how to implement it in a way that works for your project

does taht kinda make sense?

also if you literally know nothing about c# or unity then dont dive into your dream project, start small and work your way up

[wraith coral]

Ya i understood
I want to learn but I hv exams this month
So i am waiting to finish it

[stable perch]

!learn yeah totally understandable but theres great programs to help you learn on ur own

[vagrant root]

:teacher: Unity Learn ↗

Over 750 hours of free live and on-demand learning content for all levels of experience!

[stable perch]

this walks through a lot of the unity basics

[wraith coral]

thank you very much

about the issue will u help me ??

[stable perch]

again i can but the issue is that if you dont know any c# or unity than youll inevitably be back later with another feature you want to add that people would have to walk you through step by step on how to implement

your time is much better spent learning the basics of unity and c#

[wraith coral]

Abt tht
I will learn
I am just waiting for my exams to get over
In December I will get holidays so thts the perfect time
Now currently only this issue is the problem

[stable perch]

yes i get that but what happens when you run into another minor problem before december that you dont know how to solve because you havent learned anything?

[wraith coral]

I will try to solve it

[stable perch]

if you have the time to work on your project then spend that time learning unity instead

[wraith coral]

I got this issue 2 weeks back
I tried solving it

[stable perch]

yes because you havent learned c# or unity yet

just spend the time you would be using to work on your project to learn unity

[wraith coral]

Ya i understand tht
Using unity learn
Unity essentials I hv learnt a little

And ui course 3 modules I hv finished

[stable perch]

ok nice, keep going then

maybe work on a simpler project for the time being

nobody's dream project is their first project

[wraith coral]

Yrs i will

[stable perch]

awesome, good luck!

[wraith coral]

Thanks!

[stable perch]

learning unity is a long term process but if you have the commitment im sure youll be very successful in whatever you want to make, getting started is always the hardest part so just keep at it

[wraith coral]

Yes I will learn it

Thankyou

yo who can help me with my blockblast game, i got all the assets bc im a 2d artist but i am still learning to script so im trying to find ppl who wanna work for a % who can script a very simple game

[rotund parcel]

Hello. Are all Unity Hub links (unityhub://) legit ? Found one for 6000.2.11f1, but of course it came from a russian telegram channel with no other source confirming it. The one from 10f1 does match with the official download archive though.

[viral hill]

why the hell would you not just use the official site

[rotund parcel]

Because it's supposed to be released next Wednesday.

[viral hill]

then just wait. dont be stupid and get a virus

[rotund parcel]

The link isn't publicly available yet, basically.

[copper gust]

(then i dont think it's a good idea to ask about it in the offical server :P)

[rotund parcel]

That's why I'm asking... I need that version pretty bad right now.

[rotund parcel]

The worst that can happen is them pulling the link if it's legit. I don't see the problem.

[viral hill]

Not as badly as you need to keep your personal information safe

[unreal jewel]

why lmao

[rotund parcel]

Are you confirming that links using the unityhub protocol can be spoofed? That's what I need to know right now.

[unreal jewel]

somehow probably (like getting some login details)

i wouldn't risk it

[viral hill]

Any link can be spoofed. What are you talking about

[rotund parcel]

I'm stuck on a version that hardly allows me to do anything without editor crashes, and anything released since this october has a really bad memory leak. 11f1 allegedly fixes this issue. I've been testing every patch since 6f1 with a growing frustration to see the problem persist.

[viral hill]

Then downgrade

[unreal jewel]

yeah i've heard the 6.2 versions are pretty unstable

[rotund parcel]

6.0 isn't any better in my experience, after upgrading several times. And the memory leak also happens with the latest 6.0 versions.

D3D12 is unstable, can't switch to Vulkan because of some custom shaders spazzing out without any apparent reason, there's this CVE thing that would make it preferable to upgrade, but then there's huge memory leaks making the editor and builds useless.

[strange moon]

Unitys 6.2 has a very bad reputation. Hopefully they can fix the issues for 6.3

[rotund parcel]

What are the complaints so far? Stability or unpopular changes? I've seen many people trashing 6.2, but haven't seen mentions of why.

[unreal jewel]

seems to be stability

[rotund parcel]

If it's stability, I don't know if it would change much from what I'm going through right now. 😛

I'll definitely be testing the next patch wave on 6.0 and 6.2. Hopefully it will be an improvement.

Spending 10x more time to test changes because the editor needs to be restarted every single time is infuriating.

[rotund parcel]

Looked around and the links seem legit. One of them uses the unityhub protocol, which I doubt can be spoofed without Unity Hub itself being compromised (hash probably corresponds to the version entry rather than a full URL), and there was another one I didn't notice at first that seems to point to beta.unity3d.com, of which the main domain is now redirected to unity.com.

[vapid ore]

Great, I finished the hardest part of part 1. That was a challenge.

[unreal jewel]

the unityhub protocol is also used for stuff like logging in

so you still wanna be careful

[rotund parcel]

Shouldn't there be something in the URL when that happens?

[unreal jewel]

well yeah but i don't know what your url is

so just warning you

[rotund parcel]

Well, I don't really wanna post something I didn't 100% confirm is safe, but I have checked 10f1's link against the download archive, and it's the exact same.

This is from the download archive. The 11f1 link has the same format.

I don't know if this much requires login information. Been so long since I've had a unity account and also Unity Hub.

[unreal jewel]

you can try it, but just in case, you've been warned

[rotund parcel]

I wouldn't unless it was confirmed by someone with deeper knowledge of Unity Hub. That's why I asked in the first place.

I don't have the right setup to try arbitrary links.

I'm not surprised it's already available (even if not publicly shown), though I wonder how they got a hold of the hash in the first place.

[sly lake]

It should be safe. But I’ve no idea what it’d be downloading, and how they’d have gotten the hash.

[rotund parcel]

Right.

My guess was that the server url/ip is baked in Unity Hub itself, so the link would just contain the hash that leads to the actual download.

[sly lake]

Given how bad their public builds are I’m not sure you’d want to try a build they’re still testing 😅

[rotund parcel]

But I have no way to confirm that.

[sly lake]

So just wait a few days. Check the changelog

[rotund parcel]

Because according to someone on the forums, the next patch wave should fix the D3D12 memory leak a lot of people have been having since late September.

[unreal jewel]

i'd say better be safe than sorry

[rotund parcel]

Can't send gifs, I guess. 🙃

[silent mica]

Could you work without those shaders present?

[rotund parcel]

Yeah, that's why I'm holding off for now, sadly.

[rotund parcel]

Are you talking to me? If you're referring to the Vulkan bug I mentioned earlier, the shaders are just visual, but I'd rather not axe things that we'd need because of another bug I have no idea how to diagnose (I tried many changes using Unity's official shaders as reference, without success).

I couldn't find anything online about skinned meshes spazzing out with the Vulkan renderer either, so it's not like that's gonna be fixed next patch as well. The memory leak fix would allow us to upgrade at least, whether it's to 6.2 or latest 6.0.

[errant prawn]

if im exporting square shape from blender to unity will it count as 2D or 3D

[sweet charm]

3D

[errant prawn]

it means i cant apply polygon collider 2D ?

into that square shape

[sweet charm]

Likely so

[unreal jewel]

well are you exporting it as a png or as a 3d model

[errant prawn]

can we export things in png format in blender ?

[sweet charm]

It's called rendering

[errant prawn]

oh wait i remember we can

[unreal jewel]

probably somehow

[stiff quest]

I would render it with transperent on then do some touch on 2d program like gimp

[errant prawn]

ye gimp i remember now

can i import that png into unity and apply polygon collider 2D ?

[unreal jewel]

nothing's stopping you from applying it to any gameobject really

[errant prawn]

i tried adding polygon collider 2D into this but it wasnt allowing me to, maybe because its in 3D

[unreal jewel]

it's because it's blender not unity

[errant prawn]

duh i mean after exporting

[unreal jewel]

then say how it "wasn't allowing you to"

[errant prawn]

ye idk why it wasnt allowing me to it was stuck on a green line in middle lemme send

i wasnt able to edit collider

[plain dagger]

omg thats a 2d collider

it will only auto gen for sprites...

[unreal jewel]

it's rotated -90 degrees on the y axis

[stiff quest]

if you gonna do 3d stuff then dont apply 2d stuff to it

[unreal jewel]

if you press 2 iirc (or the 2d button in the top right corner of the scene view) to go into 3d mode, you can see it's on a different plane

[sweet charm]

2D colliders are stuck in XY plane

[errant prawn]

yes

[plain dagger]

They are in 2d mode already

[unreal jewel]

so it is there, it's just not rotated correctly

[stiff quest]

just render that model with transperent on and save the image add it to unity save it as sprite then add polygon collider

[unreal jewel]

yes i know, i'm telling them to go out of it so they can see the collider

[errant prawn]

u mean i can still apply 2D collider but i just need to rotate it correctly ?

ok

[unreal jewel]

your x and y rotations on the gameobject with the collider should be 0

[plain dagger]

Oh look it doesnt work BECAUSE THATS A MESH

[errant prawn]

lemme try doing this

[errant prawn]

ye

[stiff quest]

or just add mesh collider lol

[plain dagger]

You can manually edit the points for the collider but why are you using a mesh with a 2d collider?

Are you using 3d or 2d physics?

[unreal jewel]

makes more sense to just use 3d physics or a sprite instead of a mesh

[errant prawn]

😭 i didnt knew there was a mesh collider also

im kinda new

thank you guys

[unreal jewel]

the mesh collider is for 3d

[sweet charm]

Just use mesh collider. If u want cheaper solution ( I reckon u are trying to apply wall collider only from the inside), export the mesh inside the wall separately and use it for the mesh collider.

[errant prawn]

sure man thank you 🔥

thank you all 🔥

[errant prawn]

i think i will use mesh collider only

[charred fog]

Do you need it to work in 2d though?

[unreal jewel]

there are other 3d colliders, but mesh collider is usually the easiest for terrain

it won't work for 2d physics though, those are 2 completely different systems

[errant prawn]

ye, im trying to make a game similar to hill climb racing

[charred fog]

@tidal nest This is not an introductions channel. Also "AI" intros are quite off-putting.

[errant prawn]

lemme f*ck around with this thing

[unreal jewel]

go ahead haha

[tidal nest]

noted sir but i don't use ai is what i can do

[charred fog]

If you need it to work with 2d you need to use 2d components. You need to manually setup borders for 2d colliders when there's no image component for them to use as guideline

There's edit collider button on it

[errant prawn]

yes sir but its not working maybe because the object on which i am trying to apply my polygon collider 2D is actually 3D

[stiff quest]

i do also making 2d games on 3d project i use 3d components not 2d ones

[errant prawn]

i thought of making another track/ground in blender using plane

[errant prawn]

COOL

[charred fog]

Please read the second part of this message #💻┃unity-talk message

[errant prawn]

i cant edit collider

its stuck

i tried doing it

[sweet charm]

If the file is .mesh, it's always in 3D

[charred fog]

open Points and edit its array

[errant prawn]

ok lemme try doing it

[charred fog]

Also if you just need a rectangle, use simple colliders, easier to edit.

[errant prawn]

i did what u said , but now im making a track ( level 1 type of thing ) so i dont want it to be just a plane surface

this right ?

[charred fog]

Yes, you can place at least 3 points (at different coordinates) and then use edit collider button to move points visually

[charred fog]

Your points intersect

[charred fog]

it has to be a valid shape

[plain dagger]

I think for a beginner you should stop trying to do it this way @errant prawn

[errant prawn]

i should use sprite ?

[charred fog]

put 0,0 - 1,1 - 1,0 points then switch to visual collider edit to move them around

[plain dagger]

If you used a sprite renderer and added a poly collider 2d, it would automatically set the points for you

Thats because its made for 2d sprites

[errant prawn]

that is a mesh not a sprite i think

yes

[plain dagger]

Correct, you currently have a mesh

[errant prawn]

yes

[plain dagger]

a sprite is a 2d image

[errant prawn]

yes

[plain dagger]

I know this, im making sure you understand

[sweet charm]

I thought sprite was a drink

[errant prawn]

yes sir i learned this in hard way

[errant prawn]

[errant prawn]

im thinking to make a sprite in blender using a PLANE

i will export it as png

[plain dagger]

You can render anything in blender as an image and use that as a sprite

[errant prawn]

YESS

oh wait ye

aaah it makes so much sense now

thank you

🔥

[plain dagger]

@errant prawn I think you should use this instead: https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.2d.spriteshape@14.0/manual/index.html

[errant prawn]

ok i will look into this

[sweet charm]

Damn, it feels weird to navigate in Blender after using Unity for a long time

[errant prawn]

i thought unity devs make their own models in blender and then export into unity 😭

[plain dagger]

for 3d meshes yes

But for 2d sometimes other solutions are better such as the tool above

[errant prawn]

oooohhh

I get this error whenever I create a fresh material and add it into any free slots in Material Editor.

[stable sky]

What's with the texture of the water?

[sly lake]

Stretched / bad UVs looks like

If not that, try renderdoc or pix to debug

[jagged finch]

Can someone help me with this rendering issue?

These colored pixels and the glow are artifacts

[sly lake]

Try Renderdoc or Pix to debug 🙂

Looks like NaNs in some render pass

[jagged finch]

When I build the project its not there. Its only in the Unity Editor preview windows (scene and game view)

When I switch to Vulkan rendering pipeline its gone but then an error gets spammed. Something along the lines of "... mulitsampled texture ..."

Android game on google play store issue: The application must support 16 KB memory pages
it seems that the latest unity libraries do not support 16kb, and it is already after dedaline, i.e. 01/11/2025....

[jagged finch]

Was hoping it would be a known issue

[plain dagger]

What unity version are you using?

[languid pier]

Hi,sorry if this is not the right channel, but can someone please explain this to me? never happened before ):

changing the scale back to before stretches it even worse

[worldly cave]

what are the scale values of your camera game object?

[languid pier]

for some reason they where 24 24 25 idk why,back to one i fixed it.. thank you !

[worldly cave]

happens ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[elder haven]

I changed my project from URP to HDRP and now getting this error, does anyone know how to fix?

I'm now getting this too

[languid cedar]

Anyone know of a good way to make a shatter effect with particles? Where all the particles are lined up with the cracks before it breaks? On a sphere btw

[vivid cedar]

https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/game-toolkits/rayfire-for-unity-148690

[languid cedar]

Woah this is nice! Is there no way to do this in the defualt system? I was thinking of just using blender to fracture a mesh instead

[shadow heron]

If you don't want to buy an asset then blender is the way to go!

[languid cedar]

This is just for small quick project so I don't want to get a bunch of tools unless I know I'll use them a lot. I was trying to do this with just the particle system but doesn't look like that's possible 😅. I'll use blender then, thanks!

[shadow heron]

yeah you can't really do something like that within unity itself unless you get an asset that will do that.

[languid cedar]

That's good to know, saves me a bunch of time

[shadow heron]

nor will the particle system do that either as it says it in the name (✨ Particle system ✨)

[pearl flax]

does anyone know if DreamOS ever goes on sale

[languid cedar]

I'm a bit of a particle junkie 😭

[balmy kettle]

i feel like this would be a question that would be more appropriate in the asset publisher's discord server

[pearl flax]

oh, i will give that a try. thank you

[elder haven]

In HDRP, is it possible to change the environmental lighting?

This is my scene with no lighting and it's still pretty light

[balmy kettle]

have you looked in the lighting window?

[elder haven]

I've been to Window > Rendering > Lighting > Environment, but couldn't find anything that looked like what I wanted

But maybe I am missing something as I'm somewhat new to Unity

[stable sky]

Is it normal that Unity is using 70 percent of my RAM?

[mild radish]

totally possible depending on how much ram you have and.. especially if its running the game

it shouldn't be locked up a 70 tho. i'd imagine it could peak there.. but it should be fluctuating up and down

mine likes to hang out around 2.2gigs when idling

[wise yacht]

I switched to rider its actually amazing

Love jetbrains

[mild radish]

ya, seems normal to me..

[stable sky]

I'm running out of 16 gigabytes of RAM

I'd like to have 32 gigabytes of RAM too, but it's twice as expensive now.

[mild radish]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.memoryprofiler@1.1/manual/index.html

see if you can profile ur project and see what might be using all that memory ^

[plain dagger]

When you have lots of assets in a project it goes up quickly

[wise yacht]

damn

[stable sky]

I'll take a look right now

[wise yacht]

I have 8GB and it can struggle a bit lol

[mild radish]

yea, thats common..

8gig is ur low bar..

[plain dagger]

I used to have 8GB a bit ago on my old pc and it was painful
Now I have 32GB

[mild radish]

32 is right around the mid-range

[wise yacht]

yeah

[mild radish]

its painful but possible 👍

[wise yacht]

I mean what do i expect im on a laptop... anoyingly I got this one a year ago and now one with double my specs is available (same like type and brand) for about the same price

[mild radish]

using a laptop for unity feels like nightmare fuel 😄

i bet that ich gets hot

[wise yacht]

it's not great

yeah lmao it gets hot

[mild radish]

lap scalder

[wise yacht]

fr

but i value portability so i'd rather have laptop

just need a better one

an i5 13th gen and 8GB ram don't cut it anymore

[mild radish]

in honesty tho.. developing with lower Ram helps u think more about performance as u build

if u can build out a full game with 8 gig of ram.. ur already considering lots of performance things that a typical power user wouldnt care about

[shadow heron]

Not for me lol. I have been using unity on my laptop for 2 years now. It doesn't get hot or laggy just smooth af.

[mild radish]

until someone tells em their game doens't run on their low-end pc

and then u gottta go backwards

[wise yacht]

yeah but it struggles with basic stuff in unity anyways, like sometimes you'll press a button and itll bring up a loading bar

[mild radish]

noooo!!! lol

[wise yacht]

but fr I don't really do anything intensive like HDRP

[mild radish]

accidently clicks Bake on Lighting

🤦‍♂️

[wise yacht]

fr

I also decided to move from VSCode to rider which my RAM ain't gonna like lol

[mild radish]

as long as ur unity isn't crashing out from running out of ram

[wise yacht]

yeah its doing alright

[mild radish]

u should be okay... when i had 16gig of ram i'd work with smaller pieces of game at a time

that way my scenes weren't too cluttered

[wise yacht]

tbf I got parrelsync and its slow but its able to run 2 instaces at once for testing

[wise yacht]

fair enough

[mild radish]

they're was times i would set back to combine scenes re-compile and build

those days i'd just find something to do on the side

[wise yacht]

I'm making a little prototype and now im trying to code it a bit nicer so i gotta rewrite a ton of stuff so i decided might as well use a nicer IDE

[mild radish]

to let my pc have its time to load up lol

[wise yacht]

lmao

[mild radish]

wasnt nice enough for ya?

[wise yacht]

defo not for refactoring

[wise yacht]

like moving scripts around and doing bulk stuff is nicer in rider for me

[mild radish]

i can see that

problem is the licensing..

[wise yacht]

Im a student tho innit

[mild radish]

if u wanna put something into production u can't technically use Rider w/o a real license

[wise yacht]

Lol so I think i got a student liscnece

[mild radish]

ohhhh.. lucky

[wise yacht]

Tbh I can see myself getting a jetbrains liscence in the future

Like a paid one

we shall see

[wise yacht]

damn

[mild radish]

https://www.reddit.com/r/dotnet/comments/13jdo8p/wtf_rider_i_thought_you_would_be_leaner_than_vs/
check out this post a couple of scrolls down

he kinda explains the memory thing.. goes on to say.. often times you can't compare memory usage like that ^
theres alot more that goes into it

to accurately test you'd want both programs doing the same task.. w/ the same conditionals etc etc..
but in general i never had a problem with Rider being that heavy..

no more taxing on my ram than any other editor ive used thru the years

[wise yacht]

Yeah I mean this is my RAM usage currently

And rider is open

and it aint even showing up?

[mild radish]

saving resources..

[wise yacht]

oh wait it is under Unity

[mild radish]

probably in sleep mode

[wise yacht]

its classified under the unity editor dropdown nvm

[mild radish]

thats neat.

[wise yacht]

500MB

[wise yacht]

yeah

[mild radish]

ez numbers

[wise yacht]

i swear my numbers don't add up to 8GB though

[mild radish]

they wont.. or shouldn't unless ur tapped out

[wise yacht]

Like I guess some is used by things hidden

I imagine you can't see everything from task manager

[mild radish]

all ur apps and processes should add up to that percentage of ur Ram at the top

[wise yacht]

Like im using 87% memory atm, and the numbers for all the memory seem to only add up to like 3 or 4GB max

i feel like it doesn't add up for me

[mild radish]

ya, i'd need to research more about that.. im sure its not exact by any means

[wise yacht]

85% is 6.8GB

fair

[mild radish]

but im not sure how its all calculated

[wise yacht]

yeah I was thinking that the percentage is the actual memory being used, but maybe task manager doesn't show everything

i might look into it i need all the memory i can get

[mild radish]

what about the Memory section?

might be closer to accurate..

[wise yacht]

7GB in use

[charred fog]

@wise yacht @mild radish Create a thread if that's just two of you talking

[mild radish]

ur correcto

Hey how do I fix this nail thing in unity? In unity, I am putting on a nail texture for nail s but I can see through them. I don’t know how to fix that and I’m quite new.

[charred fog]

#1390346776804069396

[near wigeon]

nail thing ?

[haughty stirrup]

That

[near wigeon]

showing the shader you picked for the material would probably help..

[plain dagger]

Inverted normals?

[haughty stirrup]

What does that mean?

[haughty stirrup]

And ok.

I came with materials

And I made a material thing and put it in

I’ve tried poiyomi

That didn’t work etheir

[near wigeon]

https://www.google.com/search?q=inverted+normals+unity

[sly lake]

The reality is that 32GB is the recommended minimum spec for software development these days. You just don’t have enough RAM to run serious software.

[haughty stirrup]

And I didn’t use blender it’s an asset I found

Idk how to use blender

[sly lake]

Even with 16 a little bit of multitasking will easily push it over the limit.

[wise yacht]

I suppose it depends on what you're building (like if im doing some python stuff its fine) but yeah when I like fiddled around with smth like minecraft modding my computer could've blown up

[mild radish]

hopefully it stays that way for a while.. since i just upgraded to 2 16 sticks a couple of months ago 💪

[mild radish]

if u plan on doing alot of game-dev you should try to learn a little at a time

knowing a 3D software + an art creation program is a game-changer

relying too heavily on third-party assets can mess with the style ur going after

its really really hard to find the perfect asset for every occasion

best to just build ur own when the need arises

okay yeah i dont think any of this applies to me? im really really new to unity and also trying to speedrun a lot of things so

[copper gust]

well the bad news is there isn't speedrunning of any of this

[iron hamlet]

no dont say that 😭

[haughty stirrup]

Um when I try to use pro builder it’s grayed out

[mild radish]

Normal Flip ^ [Tab goes in and out of Edit mode] [F3 brings up that search bar where you can just type in the tool you need]

Red = inverted normals (facing inwards instead of outward)

[iron hamlet]

i have to write this like essay-lab-report for school and it's kinda a big deal right. so my idea was dialogue generation in video games and im comparing a markov chain algorithm w like gpt-2 generation? so my question is just about, like, 'integrating' gpt-2 with unity so that the dialogue is generated at-run time by gpt-2

[halcyon brook]

im sorry

[haughty stirrup]

I’m so confused

[mild radish]

ask clarifying questions

[charred fog]

You're sorry and yuu spammed it into a thread as well?

[haughty stirrup]

It’s just the same question I want to fix it in unity. I was told to use pro builder but pro builder is grayed out and I can’t use any of the things that it has.

[halcyon brook]

that was before

im sorry im sorry

[haughty stirrup]

And then I’m getting told to do a normal flip I don’t know how to do a normal flip. I can’t do a normal flip in unity. I don’t think cause there’s nothing for that in unity and then in pro builder there’s a normal flip thing but I can’t use pro builder.

So overall I’m confused

[mild radish]

you'll have to have the object selected first

and it may have to be a probuilder object.. (may need conversion) not 💯 on that one

[plain dagger]

You can have unity calculate normals instead of importing them. This can often fix inverted normals

check the model asset import settings

[mild radish]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bfl-V-39JlU here.. watch a bit and get a little experience on how it works

[plain dagger]

@haughty stirrup do this

[mild radish]

^ was gonna show the normals being recalculated.. but it failed to work on my simple inverted cube model 😄
it may need more normals the correct orientation to begin with to get an accurate feel.. not sure
anyway, the 2nd part of the video shows how u can take a model import it into Blender.. flip ur normals where needed
and re-export/import back into Unity... [Now you have the corrected normals]

[lethal aspen]

i got an idea for a parkour fps game this is my first game any advice

Did I add the Jump animation correctly?

hey guys im tryingg to make a horror game and this is one of the room

is the environment fine?

[mild radish]

if u want to transition from running to jump.. and then back from jump to running then yea

[manic hearth]

and what do yall think i shoul add

[mild radish]

#1180170818983051344 #🏆┃daily-win not a showcase channel

[stuck flower]

Does it do what you want it to do

[marble spade]

Am I looking incorrectly or are there simply no assets in the asset store that would depict overweight / obese people? (Well there was Morph3D, but it's distant history now) These would be useful for a story rich game

[sly lake]

You can scale bones to achieve some variation in body proportions, without new models.

Whether that's enough probably depends on your art style

[real patrol]

why chracter controller isGround return true in a 89º collider, lol

[cursive citrus]

this is in the multiplayer shooter ECS example, but the link is invalid. Is that meant to point here, is the link just expired, does the server not exist anymore..?

[unkempt hearth]

a script requires a gameobject field, which i set to a prefab, but when instantiating this the field contains the instance instead. how can i fix this?

[copper gust]

post code to #💻┃code-beginner

[unkempt hearth]

its only what i said, a GameObject field with the prefab changes to the instance

[copper gust]

ok

let me know when you post code

[unkempt hearth]

there is no code

[warm locust]

Wassup yo

Is it illegal to have the unreal engine tag here

[copper gust]

oh i understand, apologies

you cannot fix that

[unkempt hearth]

is it possible to store a prefab in a GameObject type variable

[copper gust]

yes

just not one that's in the context of itself

[charred fog]

It's here now #1390346492019212368

[copper gust]

because on de-serialization unity assumes you want the instance reference rather than the asset one

which is what it should do 99.9% of the time

it does not offer a way to explicitly say you dont want that to happen

[unkempt hearth]

damn

[gray dirge]

Would be surprised if somebody cared, people use different engines, the conversations will be kept around unity here though obviously

[warm locust]

yea i was joking lmao

[bitter sparrow]

hey, any ideas why some variables/references in the inspector are reset after I switch branch on git?

on my friends pc all the variables are there

there are no changes registed by git on my side

[gray frigate]

What are you inspecting?

[bitter sparrow]

some objects on the scene

[gray frigate]

if the scene is being version-controlled by Git, then every serialized value should be getting tracked

reopen the scene in unity to make sure you're actually looking at the latest data

(you should get a prompt to reload the scene if unity notices a change on-disk)

[vivid cedar]

Did you save the scene

(is the scene file being tracked by git?)

[bitter sparrow]

me? I didn't change anything on the scene

[gray frigate]

doesn't matter; hit save

[bitter sparrow]

okay

[gray frigate]

see if Git suddenly sees changes

[vivid cedar]

then it's expected for your friends' changes to overwrite your data

[bitter sparrow]

gimme a sec, I'm redownloading the branch just to check something

[vivid cedar]

you can check the git diff - but it sounds like your friend comitted the changes you are seeing.

[bitter sparrow]

we confirmed that he saved everything and commited it. Everything is fine on his end

and he has no changes to push

[gray frigate]

it sounds like Theos is missing some serialized data that's supposed to be there

[bitter sparrow]

yep

some thing here and there are missing

[vivid cedar]

Are you sure these variables are actually serialized?

[gray frigate]

have your friend reopen unity

[vivid cedar]

They're not being displayed by Odin or something?

[gray frigate]

this will throw out any non-serialized data

[bitter sparrow]

nope

[gray frigate]

caused by things like that

[gray frigate]

It's also possible for incorrectly-written editor scripts to do this

Particularly if you're dealing with object references

[bitter sparrow]

yep, object references are missing

[gray frigate]

A reference to a non-persistent object will look fine until you close unity

ah, that's more specific

two options here:

• the references are to non-persistent objects that aren't actually saved anywhere. these will get lost when unity is restarted
• the references are to persistent objects (i.e. assets) that aren't being tracked by Git

[bitter sparrow]

we are either referencing prefabs or objects on the scene

[gray frigate]

have your friend restart the editor

if the references break, you're having the first problem

if they're still there, you're having the second problem

[thorny jungle]

What do you guy's think of my first "functional" movement system? I still have to limit the dashes and fix an issue where the player slides for a second after moving but I've been struggling with this the past couple days 😭

[bitter sparrow]

he saved, no changes on git

he event sent me the .scene file

and it still doesnt work

[gray frigate]

You already have the scene file!

It sounds like you’re missing other assets

[obsidian herald]

hi is this the channel to ask for help?

[gray frigate]

Make sure you are not excluding any .meta files from your repo

[gray frigate]

It is, yes, but see if there’s a more specific channel for your issue

[obsidian herald]

well i have a pretty simple problem actually, me and my friends are trying to start a project together but we cant connect to the same project

[balmy kettle]

!vc

[vagrant root]

Using version control in Unity

Unity Version Control

• Getting started

Git

Get the latest .gitignore file from here. It should be placed at the root of your Unity project directory.

[obsidian herald]

does that work in unity 6.2

[balmy kettle]

why wouldn't it

[obsidian herald]

idk

[silent mica]

Git is based on syncing files. Presumably Unity would maintain their version control solution in all modern Unity versions.
Neither of these are live collaboration type of thing, so they don't require super deep integration.

[obsidian herald]

ok thank you

[bitter sparrow]

how can I be missing files? I'm on the newest version of branch

[gray frigate]

sounds like something isn't getting included in the repository in the first place

Look at one of the missing object references and see if the corresponding asset actually exists in your project

have your friend find it on their end and then look for the file

[bitter sparrow]

yep, both files exist

on both sides

[balmy kettle]

also make sure the meta file for that asset was committed

[real patrol]

how to fix this? fresh official package from unity

it contains other bugs aswell.. i think unity should take some time to polish this asset, since a lot of beginners use it

[lapis gate]

it's a capsule collider. There is no root motion

[real patrol]

you mean there's no solution for capsules?

[lapis gate]

well it's not a compilation of capsules*. At best it'll slide you back here usually, but it's not a rig of physical bones

[vivid cedar]

fix what exactly?

[lapis gate]

KCC is better though and you've more options regarding edges cases (lel) if you want to apply more logic around it all

unfortunate part about it is a lot of the premade controllers have the camera tied to it all so if you wanted to use cinemachine you'll have to implement it

[real patrol]

this? https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/physics/kinematic-character-controller-99131

how easy is to switch from character controller to KCC

[lapis gate]

Yeah, it a well more developed CC that's for sure

Pretty sure the dude who made it works for Unity now too

[real patrol]

cool, thanks

[hexed path]

has anyone gotten NUnit.Framework to work with Rider / Mac? AI is saying something about Assembly Definitions, but so far I can't get my source code to recognize the library is installed. (include statement is red)

[balmy kettle]

are you using assembly definitions? (you should be if you are doing unit testing)

[hexed path]

OK. I guess I need to read up on that.

I wanted to make sure AI wasn't leading me astray first

[copper gust]

If it’s not making money Unity tends not to focus on it nowadays

[balmy kettle]

also to be clear, you are not referring to manually installing NUnit via nuget, right? because unity projects do not currently support nuget and you'd have to put the dlls directly into your project for that to work.

and if that is what you are referring to, then consider just using unity's test framework package instead.
https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.2/Documentation/Manual/test-framework/test-framework-introduction.html

[copper gust]

(Or use a package that middleman’s that process)

[hexed path]

no I'm just doing a basic test of a static function and I think I understand that NUnit is part of Unity's test framework, which is installed via Package MAnager.

no nuget

[balmy kettle]

then read through the link i posted above which covers how to use unity's test framework package, inlcuding setting up your test assemblies

[hexed path]

there's two things making this harder: I'm pinned to unity 2020.3, and the fact that I'm in Rider on a Mac.

I think to test this function I might forget about NUnit, and just write some inline test code to run manually.

(for now)

[balmy kettle]

none of those would cause any issues with following the instructions

[gloomy raptor]

Does anyone know what type of system do games like PEAK, Content Warning or even R.E.P.O. use for their movement? Do they use active ragdoll or physical animations or is there maybe something else that I dont know about?

[copper gust]

Anyone who does know is going to know by doing stuff you can do with your own copy of the game 🤐

[lapis gate]

Havent played peak but I would expect the terrain tool would work fine unless it does do some randomization then you're looking into the many different terrain mesh generating algorithms out there Oh sorry, you meant controller. Ragdoll stuff I find really basic when it comes to unity's tool, and physical bone implementation

[south summit]

HI GUYS, i came back

in Unity what would mean those arrows (i know those are transitions) but sometimes those arrows are 2 or 3

each arrow in white is a condition of transition added?

[viral hill]

what does terrain have to do with their question

[lapis gate]

Yeah whoops I'm half-asleep here that popped into my head

[south summit]

AHHH and one things more, what are the files model that unity supports?

[viral hill]

i have no idea what youre asking

[south summit]

it has a size limit? or format limit?

[south summit]

oh god

like this

the 3 arrows in one place

[viral hill]

oh you mean the arrowheads themselves

[south summit]

yeah

1 arrow means a condition

What's the best way to measure dimensions of assets and things in meters in blender? i want to verify things are to scale but now two different plugins have both refused to work for no reason at all even in their own demo scenes, those being
https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/utilities/measuremaster-measurement-tool-294420
and
https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/utilities/measuring-tool-226340
ideally something more like the former, thanks

[hushed hamlet]

I use blender in metric, unity is metric, so then its just 1 to 1.

[quaint wagon]

yes but its annoying for blocking out and verifying it though

[copper gust]

(Btw peak doesn’t generate meshes, just manipulates a variety of handmade prefabs)

[hushed hamlet]

If i had to work in jmperial id feel the same way 😄

[quaint wagon]

i mean i still prefer metric even though i was born and raised with imperial lol

[hushed hamlet]

You can still enter things in imperial by using the foot/inches 6" in a textbox. But im not American and dont think in imperial, so i cant help much beyond that.

[lapis gate]

ideal way to do level generation. Pure random games are so souless tbh

[quaint wagon]

thats not what i want????

i just want a little thing that shows me what the dimensions of something in the world is like this

see here: not working

[tranquil cedar]

RIght I need help

I just wanted to use unity to make custom models for a game

[hushed hamlet]

That's not in blender, and I dont know where you got that unity script.

[tranquil cedar]

but it's asking for the unity hub? and I need a license?

Does that mean Unity isn't free?

[quaint wagon]

i sent it in the message

https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/utilities/measuremaster-measurement-tool-294420

[viral hill]

unity isnt a modeling software

[viral hill]

there is a free license

[tranquil cedar]

For what I'm using it for it can be. I want to make a custom character model for Getting Over It

[hushed hamlet]

Okay, maybe more specifically, im not installing someones asset to troubleshoot it for you. You'll need to contact the author. But unity is in metric, so 1 unit = 1 meter.

[tranquil cedar]

and the method I'm using utilises a Unity package

[hushed hamlet]

Unless im missing the question

[viral hill]

unity mesh data states the bound sizes

idk what blender has to do with this

[quaint wagon]

well i thought that but i type in scale for a plane and it seems completely out of scale with my player and that definitely does not seem correct, which is why i want an in unity way to see the scale of object, you dont have to download or troubleshoot anything i was just asking for general help and if you cant maybe someone else can it's fine

[inland river]

A custom tool that displays the measurements when you select the object. Obviously. Beyond that it’s unclear what you are asking. You’ve already answered the question by looking for assets that provide such a tool. Nothing better is in common use. Comparing size to a default cube scaled to the desired size is the easiest builtin way.

[gusty abyss]

why property drawers lowkey addicting

[hushed hamlet]

Yeah, Unity planes are not 1m x 1m. (10m x 10m).

But code wise, its a bit trickier (as the shape of various models isnt usually uniform). One option is to just get the bounds and get a rough size from that.

[quaint wagon]

okay yea exactly i'd rather not memorize "this plane is 10x10 so i've got to divide my scaling measurements", it would be easier to modify dimensions "globally" just in meters, or at least have a way to see what it's size is in meters to check,

to answer anikki yes i tried those none of them work (on the most recent unity verison), tried to troubleshoot and even the demo scenes provided don't work which is what led me here

[inland river]

You can also set up the grid to show 1m intervals.

[quaint wagon]

that is still not ideal but useful thanks, how would i do that?

fair enough

I feel I should ask what binlog this error is referring to

[glossy topaz]

for the longest time i have no idea how to use this ARM texture

does anyon know why it makes wood shiny

[mild radish]

adjust its smoothness and or metallicness

is that entire weapon 1 material? thats unfortunate.. i'd use a more dull material for the furniture and a shiny material for the metal

[glossy topaz]

so im supposed to use 2 different materials for different parts of the gun

[mild radish]

thats my workflow

[glossy topaz]

i only wanted the metal shiny

[mild radish]

i like have finer control over each individual material

[mild radish]

ya, since its 1 material im not sure how to make the metal shiny w/o making the rest also shiny

not sure if you could mask it out and have the shiny not affect it

but having 2 materials 1 for metal and 1 for wood would be optimal imo

[hushed hamlet]

Yeah you should be able go create or apply a metallic map, but that shader looks different

[glossy topaz]

the gun has separate parts

[glossy topaz]

there is an ARM texture and the shader is HDRP lit

ARM i think is ambient occlusion, roughness and metallic

but this material feels like it has no ARM texture and i dont know why i can drag the smoothness or metallicness halfway up

[hushed hamlet]

I've used an ORM (common in Unreal) and use my own shader for it. But yeah if its anything like that, one colour channel is for where to apply metallic

[hushed hamlet]

Blue Channel: Stores the Metallic map, defining how metallic a surface is (white for metallic, black for non-metallic). but that's for an ORM.

[mild radish]

#1180170818983051344 or #🏆┃daily-win

[hushed hamlet]

Iirc its usually two textures, a base map, and the ORM

You can test if the shader js working by tossing a blue gradient (temporarily) on the orm texture input (mask maybe?)

But I usually use substance for that stuff

[glossy topaz]

thats why i been wasting time i was using ORM

[mild radish]

i just bake my textures in blender

[glossy topaz]

wait no ORM is the same thing

[mild radish]

split ur gun into 2 materials
or.. remake ur mask map..
metal parts would be white in the metallic channel (w/e channel that is for you)
and the wood parts would be black or dark grey in the metallic channel

(that way ur shinyness wont be applied to the wood sections as well)

[unkempt hearth]

can i build for windows on linux?

its greyed out for me

[mild radish]

Mono?

did u install the module?

should be able to setup a build profile that targets Windows

[unkempt hearth]

yes

i can only build for linux

[unkempt hearth]

and nothing else

[unkempt hearth]

i think thats it

[mild radish]

hmm... i dont use Linux so i don't know for sure

i know when i change to mobile and stuff you have to switch platform and let unity reinstall

so hopefully thats all it is

[unkempt hearth]

thx it works now

[mild radish]

you're welcome 🙂

[worldly cave]

metalsmoothness map

something like this

[mild radish]

thought for HDRP it was all combined in (1) mask tho

[worldly cave]

oh its hdrp

i guess the mask just needs to be adjusted no?

[mild radish]

i only really see (2) Mask Map, and Coat Mask..

ya i think u just combine all the channels

[worldly cave]

also to be fair people do underestimate how shiny wood actually is 🤔

[mild radish]

and use 1 texture for many different things..

[worldly cave]

especially varnished wood

[mild radish]

u got RGB and Alpha

[mild radish]

ya, most wood has a sheen

if you do a material just right it really pops..

Unity renders pretty good if you got a really good material w/ all the textures / maps / etc

@glossy topaz @worldly cave @mild radish
HDRP uses its own mask map channel layout
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.high-definition@17.0/manual/Mask-Map-and-Detail-Map.html
So, not ORM
But in some cases you can use texture import channel swizzling to reorder ORM or another different standard of mask map into HDRP's format

Hey chat, heres the deal, i got one project on a laptop, and a project on a PC, my PC is more advanced so I like to work on that, but i have a flight coming up so I need to work on it with my laptop in a few days, is there a way for my project to automatically be connected to an account so I can open the project with all its updates (TLDR: if i work on PC, then go to the laptop, how will it connect on the same account?? any help would be highly appreciated

[inland river]

you could use git via github/azure-repos/gitlab/bitbucket/etc. or unity version control

[wind escarp]

Slow motion test lol

[storm patio]

use #🏆┃daily-win or #1180170818983051344 for that

Normally a source control solution is what you want. But it can have a learning barrier.

[unkempt hearth]

are the majority of devs' first game the brackeys beginner tutotial game?

[unreal jewel]

not necessarily

there are a lot of tutorials, some prefer not to follow tutorials at all

[tranquil cedar]

Just got this DM from this user. Anyone else had anything like this?

Could it potentially be a scam?

[unreal jewel]

what's the message link to?

[tranquil cedar]

lemme check. this user shares 5 mutual servers with me apparently

[near matrix]

Learning barriers don’t exist to the lonely man, all I know is nothing else matter, no one is there for me, all I have is this creation on a computer

I’ll keep that in mind

[tranquil cedar]

it links to my DM where I was stating I needed help weirdly enough

[unreal jewel]

source control is an incredibly important skill for all kinds of programming really

[tranquil cedar]

but it just seems extremely suspicious that he phrased it this way.

Seeming like I should DM a public chat message

[unreal jewel]

just ignore it i'd say

[tranquil cedar]

ye

also no PFP

[hushed hamlet]

You should be using source control anyway. It rewards experimentation instead of punishing it.

Plus data backups and sync:D

[storm patio]

no, clearly not? it's linking to a message in this server

[hushed hamlet]

The number of times ive seen someone work on a game for 3 or 4 years only to have their hard drive die and no backup... sad days

[unreal jewel]

yeah, source control is essential, saved me a lot of times

[unkempt hearth]

i think he meant "can you dm me about your problem [link to your message explaining problem]"

[hushed hamlet]

Probably trying to get you to pay for help. I keep my dms closed, no sense entertaining them

[storm patio]

if that's the case, definitely don't DM lol. community servers exist for a reason, and most if not all just don't condone DM support (including this one)

[worldly cave]

unless you asked someone to dm you in the message

what was your original message that they linked 🤔

@tranquil cedar

[hushed hamlet]

dm me

😄

[worldly cave]

i guess they did you a favour by dming you lol

When I install unity verison it always fails

[viral hill]

!install

[vagrant root]

When Unity fails to install checklist

• Make sure you have enough space including on C: drive.
• Check that it's not being blocked by antivirus/security programs.
• Look through the logs for a real reason why the setup fails they are pinned [here](#💻┃unity-talk message).

If you still have issues, perform a clean install in another location:

• Install the Hub and Unity in a non-system drive or a clean new folder in the root of C: drive.
• Failing that use the recovery Refresh option or reinstall OS entirely then repeat the previous step.

[uncut rivet]

Oh

It’s the first one

how is the complied version of your game any relevant?

Wdym "which one"? lol

The one you're developing right now.

Unity file is not a project. It's a scene
