[plain dagger]

how about no

[radiant pewter]

yeah that's very true - the red text will probably be enough to remind me to change it after the uni project is done tbh

[plain dagger]

"Hey this version has a known security issue it would be great if the pcs can have their version upgraded to something newer"

[vivid river]

The security alert is just malicious local code execution right?

[radiant pewter]

😭 they're very resistant to change

[wicked roost]

id report the teacher, he should be noticing that and teaching good practices of using security patches

[radiant pewter]

bureaucracy and all that

[wraith walrus]

Help. Can't install Unity 3D

[latent meadow]

the screen you are showing means very little. explain what you mean

[wraith walrus]

I try to install unity version and the install button is blurred

I can't click it

[latent meadow]

oh, i see

[radiant pewter]

shooting in the dark here, try disabling antivirus - I was using 360 total security when I first tried installing Unity and it silently blocked the install from happening

[plain dagger]

Kinda yea but thankfully places where it would be executed via like steam have mitigated it themselves too
https://unity.com/security/sept-2025-01

[fair cove]

I remember our program coordinator mentioned how 3 of our courses were considered outdated, and should be removed or changed for next year, the headmaster said "sure no problem"... 4 years later, still using the same courses, schools are SO adaptive to change

[radiant pewter]

oh cool, I'm doing it via Steam so there are multiple layers of "protection" then ig

[wicked roost]

entire course changes cost money in software and other materials, using a patched version instead of a security warning version costs nothing

headmasters are always ok with free stuff, they just dont want to spend money

[plain dagger]

It takes time to add new software and re image/update all pcs

though most network boot so that makes it easier

[latent meadow]

this is the exact opposite of how Edit: 'American' schools function. if you have ever worked in one, this would be known

[plain dagger]

In 2026 learn about brand new cpp 11!

[wicked roost]

lmfao wow how bad are your profs and tech department, should be able to image 256 computers at one time, university property computers should all be the same, students can do it in an hour while taking a shower.

[wraith walrus]

I hate microsoft

[wicked roost]

well 255 need a drbm host

[wraith walrus]

It makes it overcomplicated to deactivate the protection

[plain dagger]

microslop moment

[latent meadow]

you can always join us on Linux..'overcomplicated' reaches new heights 😄

[wraith walrus]

The CEO said us to not call it Slop

[plain dagger]

Add your unity projects as excluded paths in windows defender

Even android studio prompts you to do it automatically

[wicked roost]

its not as bad in win 11, you just turn all 3 firewalls off and defender off in like 2 toggles, then it actually has an option now to turn off the stupid notifications about it

[wicked roost]

lol which version thats where it really gets fun, are you rooting or putting stuff in your wheel house lol

[latent meadow]

i still prefer my coined, MacroFlop instead of MicroSlop

[wraith walrus]

Did it and the same problem still exists

[wicked roost]

try closing hub, then open it and sign out, then reauthenticate

and make sure you are installing on a drive with enough space

[latent meadow]

not the worst idea ^

you can also delve into the logs, but.. good luck with that

Fixed it

It was installed in my external hard drive and changed installation path to C:

[cloud flower]

welp the asset I bought doesnt work

[wicked roost]

what do you mean

[cloud flower]

its suppose to be a world generator hit a button and boom but its just the nebulas

doesnt generate stars planets skybox etc

[wicked roost]

giai

is it giai?

[cloud flower]

no

[wicked roost]

which one?

[cloud flower]

SPACE for unity

[wicked roost]

oh sorry i dont have that one cant assist

i have several

[plain dagger]

If its actually not functional then contact support and hopefully you get a refund

[wicked roost]

test it with just it and no other assets in a new project that is the same version as listed in the asset description

if that doesn't work contact support and report it

[cloud flower]

yeah Im in the process of trying exact version if I can get it to work I cant seem to find it

[plain dagger]

shared a link

[wicked roost]

so like this asset you would use exactly 6000.0.23 and if that doesn't work it is a faulty asset and they should refund you

[plain dagger]

Hmm last update was for 2019 support so id expect this to work just fine

[wicked roost]

yeah so try it with 2019.1, it likely has problems with unity 6 it waswn't updated for it.

[plain dagger]

I cant think of a good reason so perhaps its just user error

Unitys apis are very stable

[cloud flower]

im redownloading the unity version and redoing the package

[plain dagger]

Perhaps things like input handling would need changing but thats it

[wicked roost]

yeah but thats 7 years ago, highly likely there asre errors

ive got thousands of dollars of 20149 2020 even 2023 assets that dont work unless i wsnt to fix a bunch of errors.

some of them are good enough i fix them lol

[cloud flower]

ewww 5.5 is so bright

[plain dagger]

try with 2019 not unity 5 😆

[cloud flower]

it says 5.5.0 here

[craggy pollen]

how do you even find 5.5, there is no way do dl from the hub

[cloud flower]

manual dl I found it

[vivid river]

You can from archive

[wicked roost]

thats original, look in description, it was updated in june 2019 for 2018 and 2019.1+

so best bet is to go with 2019.1

or 2019lts probably best

[craggy pollen]

i think as rob already mentioned, it shouldn´t be a big deal to fix that for your recent unity version. i would highly recommedn you do that instead of downgradin to some ancient version, especially with the recent security bug that was found

[wicked roost]

this version should work it is security patched

if it doesn't work with that version i would contact support about a refund, because it is advertised to

[cloud flower]

ok its dl now

[wicked roost]

if it does you might just need to fix a few things to get it to work with 6.x

[cloud flower]

package doesnt even show up

[wicked roost]

i don't think you clicked my assets, thast looks like unity registry

[cloud flower]

gotta figure out 2019 lol

[plain dagger]

asset store stuff is always seperated

[wicked roost]

iirc it is window -> asset store in that version, been a long time

[cloud flower]

moment of truth

[wicked roost]

don't l;eave us hanging mate

[cloud flower]

not gonna lie its kinda uneventful its not like the youtube trailer

its too bright

gonna have to mess with it

[wicked roost]

at least it worked, so now you know if you would like to use unity 6 you just need to fix the errors and maybe some warnings

[cloud flower]

well thats the thing there wasnt any errors

[wicked roost]

it usually isn't tooooo painful

[cloud flower]

it just didnt show the stars etc

lemme show you

[wicked roost]

sometimes warnings will make things just not work but itll compile fine id go through those

the yellow ones

[wicked roost]

that looks like maybe render pipeline problems, are you using urp or hdrp

might need to fiddle with the shaders or something im not good with the shader stuff

[latent meadow]

it may be just post-processing. not sure, only half paying attention

[wicked roost]

2019 was a completely different post processing, have tons of post processing assets from then that no longer work

so if you fiddle with that stuff you can probably get it working

[cloud flower]

yea its visually different and im a noob so I'm probably not gonna figure it out

ill keep playing with it though

I wanna do cool space stuff

[wicked roost]

if you really want to use that what you can do is just use 2019 lts unity and make sure any other assets you buy are made for it

you just wont have access to newer features of uni9ty

[latent meadow]

forward adaptation, in general, makes more sense. make this asset with with the newer version, which will have more compatible assets

[wicked roost]

its just an option

[cloud flower]

yeah im gonna try and get it working with the 6.3 LTS I mean the nebulas show up Id have to see what other assets will work or not work

[wicked roost]

the important part is pay attention to when assets were last updated, if new don't buy things that werent updated in the last oh say 3 years, most of those will at least upgrade api auto fine

other than models of course, models dont matter, just watch out on the editor extensions and script assets

[cloud flower]

theres not many settings I can actually change cause this just creates a scene fab

[wicked roost]

go fiddle with the post processing for whatever rendering pipeline you chose, did you go upr hdrp or built in?

if you did urp or hdrp hit the converter too

[latent meadow]

prefabs can be unpacked and altered

[wicked roost]

id suggest duplicating the prefab then alter the duplicate so you have the default to look back on if you mess something up

[cloud flower]

why I can just create infinte prefabs till I find the right setting?

[wicked roost]

so that they are exactly the same if its some kind of random gen, unless you have a seed it generates off of so you can duplicate it thats all

[cloud flower]

oh yeah my goal right now is to get it working then worry about checking out the seeds

[wicked roost]

which render pipeline are you using?

[cloud flower]

ummmm urp I believe

[wicked roost]

do the material upgrader first thing

[cloud flower]

the what

[wicked roost]

ill get you a screenshot in a few when gaia finishes here

[cloud flower]

alreight im just messing with settings

[wicked roost]

sorry this thing takes forever to import, its under edit if you wanna look around, near the bottom, you are looking for the urp converter/upgrade

[fallow dune]

If I made a VRC avatar in unity and it looks beautiful for PC users, yet shows up as “an untextured purple blob” for quest users, what did I do wrong?

I checked both PC and Android during the build and publish process, but I never made two prefabs for both PC and Quest optimization, I’m not sure if I was expected to do that, I’m still a bit new

[cloud flower]

one of the planets is like this

[wicked roost]

@cloud flower doing that will automatically upgrade materials to the latest version, which will fix anything purple and maybe invisible things

[cloud flower]

oh I had that window open I did renderer but everything said 0 stuff

[wicked roost]

initialize it

hit initialize and itll find all the materials

if checked

[cloud flower]

says conversion pending

[wicked roost]

then hit the button to the right of initialize

see if that helps things

[cloud flower]

yea I did

nope

[fossil yacht]

guys I dont know why this happening. When I play app and unplay it again My Project window goes in " packages - scriptable render pipeline core - runtime - utilities " File location

is there some error or something like that

[wicked roost]

where is your console window, that will show if there is an error

open it back up and try again

window -> general -> console, it is probably an error in that file throwing you there for easy access

[fossil yacht]

I did

In console there is anything shows but this file location changes again

[primal creek]

don't cross-post, you already sent this in #💻┃code-beginner . also, #📲┃ui-ux might be a better place for that.

[vivid totem]

ok I won't do it again

[fossil yacht]

anyone have any idea?

[wicked roost]

no yellow or red at all

[fossil yacht]

no there is zero

[cloud flower]

dude

I just realized I dont have everythign advertised in the video in the asset hmmm its missing the ship and warp drive effect

[potent geyser]

This was a known bug, selecting a file when coming out of play mode. I don't know what version you're on, but you can check release notes for newer versions to see if it's fixed.

I know it's not happening for me on 6.3(?)

[wicked roost]

did you look for a readme or documentation in the asset folders?

there may be support files you need to import

it may be there but all you did was create space thats not going to create the playable scene usually, look for a demo scene

[cloud flower]

its a script

[fossil yacht]

I am on latest version when I have this issue 6000.3.6f1

[wicked roost]

under demo

also in scenes, there are demo scenes, just load those bro

[potent geyser]

Someone suggested to reset the layouts on Unity Discussions. Try that?

[fossil yacht]

textureGradient.cs file is being selected after this

[fossil yacht]

Oh I thought he said for someone else

[wicked roost]

we know hes offering things tyo try to fix it

[fossil yacht]

okay I am doing it

[wicked roost]

i was talking to @cloud flower

[fossil yacht]

but this also fixed my issue XD

[wicked roost]

well i wasnt the someone that suggested to reset layouts lol

[fossil yacht]

When I reset layout why this issue have fixed. I have no idea

[fossil yacht]

oh okay

[wicked roost]

not going to take credit for something i didn't do haha

[fossil yacht]

it is cool You are still great person Help or Not

[cloud flower]

now If I could get the asset to work in 6.3

[wicked roost]

i tried, but in your case arshtat i was out of ideas hehe

[fossil yacht]

why reseting layout fixed my issue. Do you have any idea

[potent geyser]

Nope

[wicked roost]

something was hung up in your layout save

causing it to go back there

its like clearing a cache

[fossil yacht]

I see

[fossil yacht]

Thanks btw

[wicked roost]

bleh bleh bleh about 100 gigs of assets to go

[cloud flower]

I need a new HD with this new venture lol

[wicked roost]

i just bought a new pc, i download all my assets into one project so i have them all local when things like last night happen where the asset store is screwed up and wont let us download them

i could just rip the drive out of the old computer but i want to format it when i do that

i love this new case, no screws just grab the spot and pull. its like its screaming upgrade me daddy lol

[latent meadow]

i use an asset called Asset Inventory(not affiliated, it just helped), but your method is a well used one. essentially the same thing, with added value. the assets end up existing in a local database so you can pull individual things from them as needed, without having to go to a second project. and more.

[wicked roost]

well its not about the project its just to get it in the cache so all i have to do is import

mostly just download them all then install the ones i might play with

for giggles while downloading lol

[cloud flower]

I have access to all the materials and textures from this asset pack right?

[wicked roost]

yeah

they are in the folder structure there you just gottas find what you need

[cloud flower]

so technically I could try and reprogram the code and generator in the newer version and import all the textures etc myself

[wicked roost]

if you are new to unity i highly recommend going to the learn section of the unity website and do some of the tutorial projects, you can learn a lot that way

[cloud flower]

I have

[wicked roost]

yes you can change whatever you want in it

[cloud flower]

I did this all by myself no assets!

[wicked roost]

nice

[cloud flower]

before i bought this space asset

just googlefu

[wicked roost]

i still cant believe thomas made rpg builder free just because he wanted to completely rebuild it as a new asset, that thing is awesome

its got 1 error in 6.3 but easy to fix, just // one line done

[cloud flower]

which asset?

[wicked roost]

https://github.com/ThomasBlinkStudios/RPG-Builder-Unity-Framework

he depricated it from asset store and made it free

[cloud flower]

I really need to learn how to use stuff from github

[wicked roost]

now working on spark which i will buy when he adds multiplayer

you just download it and put it in the folders as they are labeled and unity does the rest

[cloud flower]

honestly I have a ton of free time and I mean a ton I wanna teach myself to code and use unity and create the next ui based space sim

[wicked roost]

im retired and disabled i get it hehe

[cloud flower]

I wasnt gonna say anything but thats why lol

im in same boat medically retired

but I grew up on eve online

[wicked roost]

im 50, I retired in 2011, but in the last 2 years corpal tunnel, cubital tunnel, vikings disease, diabetes, and something wrong with my shoulders they don't know what lol

[cloud flower]

ill be 40 this year lol

[wicked roost]

i cant even doordash becauase i drop things, my left pinky is so useless i have to use my ring finger to hit a, which is why i don't capitalize or punctuate like I should, my right pinky isn't much better

[latent meadow]

reminder you can make threads.

[cloud flower]

Yea I think im starting to get carpal tunnel lol I played that new arc raiders game for like 800 hrs straight

then decided enough lol

[wicked roost]

i didn't even play that one, i was doing bellwright when everyone was doing ark raiders

[cloud flower]

who am I kidding Im months away from being able to modify this code lol I should just try and use what I can in 2019LTS and maybe grab these other 2 assets if they work woith this version that I wanted lol

[unkempt parrot]

apparently there was a security vulnerability that was discovered all the way back in october 2025. i havent really had the time to fix that for me until now, im currently using a 2020 build of the unity editor. do i need to install the latest version of the unity editor or can i find an update for my 2020 version specfically? im in the middle of a project so switching version completely might not be ideal

[wicked roost]

as a solo dev ive been working on my game for almost 10 years, you gonna need patience, but im also really picky

[wicked roost]

check archives for a patched 2020, its there

[cloud flower]

Yea I have a habit of staying up extended periods and getting loads done..... bipolar haha

[potent geyser]

Can you two take it to DMs please. Thanks.

Or make a thread as suggested above.

[wicked roost]

wow, we see the cause of unity's constant user slide downhill right there

[unkempt parrot]

my current version is 2020.3.11f1 though, is upgrading to 2020.3.49f1 safe?

[potent geyser]

You can upgrade safely but always back up.

[cloud flower]

I thought I blocked you lol im sending unity an email about you your not welcoming new members

[unkempt parrot]

stupid question maybe but im not an expert at this

[copper gust]

Unity doesn’t give a fuck lol

[cloud flower]

prob not

itll get my rocks off though

[copper gust]

Mod not getting in trouble for following the rules

[plain dagger]

what a sad thing to say

[waxen sonnet]

Hi, I'm new to Unity and I'm trying to make my own game but I'm having problems with assets and textures. Can anyone help me solve my problem?

[potent geyser]

It's fine, let them do what they will. We don't need to dig into it.

[potent geyser]

You need to ask a question so people can know if they can help.

[unkempt parrot]

are there any specific modules i should add before installing? like windows build support, for instance?

[wicked roost]

can you describe the problem in more detail please, that is if it is ok to talk in a channel called talk

[potent geyser]

Nope, everything will auto update.

[waxen sonnet]

When I insert an installed asset, I don't know how to get it into the game and I get an error.

[potent geyser]

Sharing the error would be an important detail.

[wicked roost]

what is the error? getting it into game depends on what kind of asset, like a model you would find a prefab and drag it into the scene

[waxen sonnet]

A polygon of Mesh 'Grass' in Assets/PS1 Dark Fantasy Horror Game Assets (by Stark Crafts)/PS1_ForestAsset/PS1_NaturAssetCollection.fbx is self-intersecting and has been discarded. UnityEngine.GUIUtility:ProcessEvent (int,intptr,bool&)

[potent geyser]

That's yellow no? A warning, not an error.

That's on the asset maker, not anything you can do unless you want to modify the mesh manually. Doesn't seem worth it though.

[waxen sonnet]

When I put the folder in assets, it didn't apply to the game and I don't know how to do it.

[potent geyser]

Assets in your folder don't magically appear in your scene.

[wicked roost]

i usually just ignore those and move on, assets like that i just want the prefabs, those errors generally have more to do with a demo scene

[latent meadow]

and nothing was broken, we were TALKing about why we use unity

and unlike 10 years ago when unity was warm and welcoming we instead try to get ran off

[copper gust]

The name for this channel is shit

[potent geyser]

Making a thread is not running off. It's reducing the noise so people can use this channel. Not having your personal conversation front and center isn't an insult.

Again we don't have to dig into it. We can move on.

[copper gust]

its for general help with unity that isn’t covered by other channels and/or help finding the right channel

[wicked roost]

there whole sections for scripting, and multiplayer and graphics with multiple even more specific channels, this is literally talk

[cloud flower]

and nobody was discussing anything important or i would of stfu and so would he have

[wicked roost]

but if someone does ask if i can i will absolutely help

[potent geyser]

On the contrary, people might not ask questions because they see the channel moving quickly and will bury it.

[wicked roost]

i will agree the talk about playing games was off topic and wrong, but that was what 3 total lines

[potent geyser]

Which, absolutely, has been a point for some people in the past. Hence the rule for threading long convos. It's not that difficult.

So let's move on. Thanks.

[cloud flower]

Agree to disagree ive left so many servers for a lack of conversation.....

i didn't make the descriptions or the channel names, sorry.

done thank you

[waxen sonnet]

Does anyone have some time to explain textures and assets to me privately?

[potent geyser]

That's not how this discord works. You're free to ask clarifying questions for help.

But assets and textures is a vague topic. A general overview is something you can find videos on.

ty

[wicked roost]

i suggest the learn area on the unity website if you are a beginner too, a lot of great tutorials to make whole games step by step

[twilit veldt]

not code related but anyone knwo why i cant drag assets into my asset folder anymore?

just got a new laptop and clone my repo from github desktop

also dragging files directly into the asset folder through explorer crashes unity

[wicked roost]

ummm, try temporarily just to see if it fixes it, close the editor and hub, and disable your anti virus, just to see if that is causing an issue, if you don't want to do that i understand, but its the only thing i can think of off the top of my head

[storm patio]

are tga files even supported? have you used them before

[twilit veldt]

yes, i've been using them for flipbooks for years

the problem is with all files though, not just .tga

[storm patio]

make sure your unity project isn't in a synced folder, eg onedrive or google drive

(if you want to keep backups or whatever, use version control instead. onedrive will mess with the project)

[twilit veldt]

oh that actually makes sense I've been having problems with onedrive since I've gotten this new laptop and my project is in my documents which i think is ssynced with my onedrive

do you know how i can disable it?

[storm patio]

i haven't used onedrive syncing before, not sure

try googling it

[plain dagger]

You can disable it in one drive settings they hide it
but the best is to instead move your projects to somewhere else in your user folder

[twilit veldt]

ok ill try it, thank you

[wicked roost]

or just put your projects in c:\unity projects

thats what i do, easy to find

or d or e ya get it

[twilit veldt]

still cant drag in any files

even with one drive uninstalled

[gray dirge]

Onedrive is real bad. Never put your unity projects to onedrive, just makes them slow and sometimes even breaks the projects. Use a proper version control like git/github if you need that

[twilit veldt]

it was jsut automatically there when i got hte laptop, i dont use it at all

i dont think that was the problem anyway, still cant drag in anything

[wicked roost]

try restarting the pc, but i still think having your project in your user/username area is not great

[storm patio]

maybe try restarting unity or resetting the library

[storm patio]

that's called a home folder, and it's.. where stuff is supposed to be

[twilit veldt]

also tried that, didn't work unfortunately

[wicked roost]

thats why i was thinking restart the pc, if just uninstall without a restart something might be hung

one drive, norton, mcaffee its all like a plague, hard to get rid of lol

[twilit veldt]

still can't drag anythign in

[storm patio]

does dragging files work for other apps, eg chrome, your ide?

[wicked roost]

try turning off unity cloud with the 3 dots by the project in hub, just for giggles, shouldn't cause that but worth a check

[twilit veldt]

yeah it does, its just unity that has the problem

[wicked roost]

have you tried moving it outside your user folder yet?

[twilit veldt]

no and i might be uneducated but what does that change?

[wicked roost]

some syncing stuff not one drive likes to sync user folder stuff it just ensures its out of any kind of preference and settings syncing

[twilit veldt]

even if it does fix it i dont think id be willing to work on my unity project if it was located outside of my user folder personally

[wicked roost]

why

that makes no sense

[twilit veldt]

its just a bit of an inconvenience cause its located outside of common folders like the desktop or documents

[wicked roost]

its just storage your asset cache, editors etc will still be in the user folder

[twilit veldt]

its also kind of disorganized since thats where common files are supposed to be stored imo

[wicked roost]

once you move it right click the folder and pin it to quick access, then it is just as easy to find

alright if you wont try things i cant help you have a good one sir.

[twilit veldt]

yes i know what you mean

but i dont want my unity projects to be located in the same locations as important system and windows folders

id rather a more robust solution that addresses the actual issue rather than work arounds

[wicked roost]

it wouldn;t be lol, i have it directly on c, completely outside of anything windows or program files, because it is just storage

in your user folder it is literally in the same location as important system and windows folders.

[twilit veldt]

i didn't say i was putting it inside of any windows folders

[wicked roost]

which is why it can be tied to multiple sync and backup issues not just onedrive

[twilit veldt]

like what?

[wicked roost]

everything about you as a windows user is stored in there

your project location is just storage, the editor isnt even in it

[twilit veldt]

where? (aside from app data which im not counting cause its hidden)

[wicked roost]

lmao look i see one drive right there

[twilit veldt]

"file folder"

its not the application

its just a folder with a custom icon

[wicked roost]

NTUSER.DAT is a critical, hidden system file in Windows that stores user-specific registry settings, including desktop wallpapers, display settings, keyboard layouts, and application configurations. just 1

[twilit veldt]

NTUSER.DAT is also hidden and is a single file

ok im not trying to sound rude but i think you're missing my point

[wicked roost]

look just be you im done with this, its silly, its storasge, no different from a place to throw music

[storm patio]

what is even going on here

[twilit veldt]

is there an actual solution to this or just work arounds?

[storm patio]

@twilit veldt have you tried refresh all assets or reset layout in unity? i think those would be covered if you reset library but i'm not 100% sure

[twilit veldt]

yes, it doesn't work unfortunately

[storm patio]

does it happen with other unity projects or other unity versions, if you have those?

[twilit veldt]

I've tried other versions of unity and im still encountering the same problem but i haven't tried other projects since this is a new laptop and i only have one stored on it

[storm patio]

other versions of unity on the same project?

i guess try making a new project and test on that

[copper gust]

Tbh this Is something you might just have to deal with mentally unfortunately

OneDrive absolutely fucks with projects and windows loves undo’ing any attempts to disable it on a whim

Ideally it just should not be there imo

[charred fog]

Are you using the default Unity projects location or did you move them somwhere?

[twilit veldt]

its just stored in my documents folder

[twilit veldt]

I dont have onedrive on my laptop anymore

[copper gust]

Until you do 😅

[storm patio]

practically a virus, because who would want to remove such a useful and flawless app

[twilit veldt]

for the time being it's not here atleast

[wicked roost]

documents folder, do you have phone link installed, that syncs docs lol

[twilit veldt]

nope

[copper gust]

I mean sure but it honestly could come back and fuck up your stuff

It really do suck

[wicked roost]

yeah sometimes they will slip it back in with an update

i hate microsoft with that mess

[copper gust]

Feel free to google this of you you don’t believe me onedrive loves to come back

[twilit veldt]

no i believe you

im just sayign for the time being it's not here

[charred fog]

So if you are having problems with windows managed folder, why wouldn't you move it into a non system folder as was suggested already?

[twilit veldt]

documents isn't a windows managed folder?

[polar kayak]

Convert Selected Built-in Materials to URP." has been removed ? #🔀┃art-asset-workflow message

[charred fog]

Try to move it first, to diagnose the problem, then continue discussing it.

[wicked roost]

yes it is,

[twilit veldt]

i just tested it on a new project stored in the exact same location, i can drag files into it, but not into my other project

[copper gust]

(Ai responses are yucky)

[wicked roost]

it is accurate though

specifically in documents rather than the default username/unity projects/ windows defender could be screwing it up

anyway i said i was done i need to be done or a mod is justified in yelling at me

[twilit veldt]

oh mb i didn't know that, but thats besides the point anyway - the location isn't hte problem

in case you missed it

[cloud flower]

Ive made progress getting this asset from 2019 to work in unity 6.3LTS the only think left is the pink asteroids and im out of ideas

[charred fog]

So change the location to test it!

[charred fog]

This is still not #1391720450752516147 channel

[wicked roost]

the pink astroids should be the rendering thing i told you to get rid of purple things. the render pipeline converter

make sure to do the read only too

[charred fog]

Also post the full question

[cloud flower]

yea that didnt work xype lol I did that

[wicked roost]

go put you a post in rendering, those shader folks will be better equiped to help

[plain dagger]

only materials using "Standard" can be converted

you are shit out of luck for any other custom shaders

[charred fog]

You need to provide actual details as well, not just a screenshot

[twilit veldt]

tried it doesn't work - like i said dont understand why dragging files would work for one project but not another if they're stored in the same directory

[severe needle]

Hi guys

about App Store publishing:
I know iOS publishing needs macOS/Xcode, but do I actually need a physical Mac?
Can I publish the game using a cloud Mac (like MacInCloud), or is there any issue with Apple if I do it that way?

[charred fog]

Didn't work where? Post full information. Where did you test it in what folder?

[wicked roost]

there is a documentation pdf in that space asset, and a readfirst, have you read them both fully?

[plain dagger]

stop

[shadow heron]

I want to add a wet trail following the player, should I spawn decals for this? or particle system? what's the recommend approach for this?

[plain dagger]

particles emitted over distance may be a nice easy cheap way

but requires you to ensure they align + position correctly

[twilit veldt]

I'm sorry i'm really not tryign to sound rude or demeaning but i dont understand why we're trying to diagnose location as the problem even though i made a unity project in teh exact same locaiton that works fine

[plain dagger]

try that or unity cloud build

[charred fog]

It's a file permissions problem. You need to test in the environment that does not have system managed permissions.

[wicked roost]

how is the root of c the same location as documents, what i see is you finally did what i asked and it works....

[buoyant igloo]

Hi, I'm adding a custom pixelart cursor to my game. I tried adding it but it's all blurry

Those are my settings, very similar to every other pixelart image

That's the output. I also rescaled it from 8 to 32 pixels, but it didn't change anything

[charred fog]

@twilit veldt Create a clean folder yourself as well, don't copy system folders that can retain permissions

[severe needle]

Thx 🙏👍

[twilit veldt]

i did

[plain dagger]

why is texture type "cursor" 😐
derp i see you want that haha

[twilit veldt]

i copied another project of mine from github in the exact same location as the project that doesn't work and it works fine

i'm pretty sure its a project-specific problem

[buoyant igloo]

Because.. it is a cursor?

[plain dagger]

Id not bother and just hide the system cursor and move a sprite/whatever myself

As changing the system cursor means relying on the os to do what you want

[twilit veldt]

actually all of this is giving me a headache I think ill just make a new unity project and transfer the assets over

sorry for wasting your time and thanks for your effort

[buoyant igloo]

Moving things manually has a very small delay that would be really annoying

and would follow game's fps

[wicked roost]

you could raycast position it too so that it actually hits what the player is pointing at moving appropriately

[plain dagger]

That is true. How does the cursor actually look if we ignore the preview?

[buoyant igloo]

Absolutely the same, apart from the borders which havent any anti aliasing. I can't screen that because.. you can't screen cursors

..i tried..

[storm patio]

do you mean you can't screenshot that

[buoyant igloo]

yes

[wicked roost]

you can with the right software but thats off topic i think

[plain dagger]

Then cheat and scale up the image to a better resolution (without filtering)

[buoyant igloo]

Already said that I did it

didn't change a single bit

[plain dagger]

That doesnt sound right

[buoyant igloo]

from 8 to 32 to the max which iirc is 128 (got back to 8 now)

[plain dagger]

how would bi linear filtering appear without the texture being lower res?

[wicked roost]

try a larger image and scale it down like you are doing retina for webdev lol

[storm patio]

just as a sanity check, are the other build target tabs also set to compression: none

[plain dagger]

yes thanks for repeating what i say but worse

[buoyant igloo]

wdym?

[buoyant igloo]

man i answered twice, one is two messages above

[storm patio]

you can set different asset settings (i guess, not sure what the term would be) for different build targets

[buoyant igloo]

They're off, not in override

[storm patio]

perhaps check if the other tabs have different compression settings, and perhaps if they may be unexpectedly used

[buoyant igloo]

so the default is universal I think

[storm patio]

ah, forgot that was a thing (goes to show how much i touch those settings lol)

[buoyant igloo]

I rarely touch them too and all other images work perfectly as sharp pixel art. Usually this problem is the filtering, but as every other image, it is to point (no filter), so this should not happen

[storm patio]

(btw, what's that facebook icon supposed to be building for?)

[storm patio]

does it become sharp as expected if you use a different texture type?

[buoyant igloo]

Nope, I was trying with the usual sprite before noticing there was the cursor setting, I thought it was the problem

I had the same issues

It stays in the build btw

[storm patio]

ok so the issue probably isn't specifically being a cursor then

have you set a proper PPU?

[charred fog]

This suggests that optimal size should be 32 or 64 https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/issues/cursor-size-and-resolution-is-inaccurate-when-switching-the-default-cursor-field
Also try setting it to High Quality compression, it could be cached blurry version was the last compatible one as to why it doesn't change.
So try changing settings and maybe flushing cache as well by deleting Library folder, in case something preventing it from refreshing.

[buoyant igloo]

I acutally noticed that no matter which settings I modify, the cursor stays the same, as if there was a cache. I got back to high quality and 32*32, and it's the same. So... Which cache should I delete? I've never done that

There are many caches

[charred fog]

When in doubt just close Unity, delete entire Library then open again.

[wicked roost]

yeah go into your project folder, and find the one named Library, just delete it

[buoyant igloo]

Arent there useful things in the Library? There are many gigabytes of data...

[buoyant igloo]

Nothing changed

....what the hell?

[wicked roost]

it rebuilds itself when you reopen unity

but that sucks, you still using the 8x8?

[buoyant igloo]

No I switched again to 32x32

[gloomy raptor]

Hey does anyone know whether there is a good voxel tool for unity similiar to this one thats for godot?

[wicked roost]

i have had a lot of fun with voxeland, but i like digger pro better, they are more high def but i think both have settings to be more blocky if you want, you wiill want to read about them to make sure

there are also others, but those are 2 i have experience with and enjoy

voxeland isn't up to date, digger is

[gloomy raptor]

alright thank you

[wicked roost]

if he isn't on a business trip adamantite that makes digger is pretty responsive on his discord if you have pre sales questions

[storm patio]

it's mostly caches, with some transient state (like what scene you had open and what objects were expanded/hidden/frozen)

[hearty pine]

Heya!

[wicked roost]

looks like you need to change the input type in project settings > player

[nova brook]

Oh thanks

[vivid cedar]

either that or change whatever is trying to use the old system to use the new one

[nova brook]

can you tell me where i find input handlind setting

[wicked roost]

edit

project settings, on the left click player, then open the other settings, and scroll down reading carefully, lots of settings there you might find others you like

[plain dagger]

!input

[vagrant root]

How to Set Input

To set Active Input Handling, go to:
Project Settings > Player > Active Input Handling

• Input Manager (Old): Use the original Input settings.
• Input System Package (New): Uses the new input system package.
• Both: Use both systems.

[nova brook]

in player settings there is no setting named active input handling or input handling

[vivid cedar]

Inside Other Settings

[nova brook]

thank God 😮‍💨

WTH After changing it to Input System package and restarting it still not working my charcter is still on a its postion

[vivid cedar]

it still not working my charcter is still on a its postion
Can you rephrase this? wdym? What is happening

[nova brook]

[wicked roost]

are you still getting the error spam?

[nova brook]

yes

[wicked roost]

did you try both

the both setting i mean

[vivid cedar]

you sure? What does the error say now? And what did you change the setting to?

I thought it was already on new input system

the whole problem was you had code or something that is trying to use the old one

If you set it to "new" again, that won't change anything

[wicked roost]

yes which is why both may fix it, i think both are being used

[vivid cedar]

you still need to change the thing that's trying to use the old one

or yes, use both

[wicked roost]

if i read the error correctly

[nova brook]

the old one giving error spam so i tried new one still console spamming error

[wicked roost]

can you try both please

[vivid cedar]

If you are using both, then yes you will get an error either way

again - either make everything use the same system, or switch it to both

[nova brook]

let me try

engine regenrating project and new error box is appearning that i need to switch to new input system package

[wicked roost]

might want to take it to scripting, something is conflicting clearly

[nova brook]

i fix it bcz its not input problem but the course project which i am following already include a controller file for player i disbled it and it worked

[wicked roost]

haha well at least ya got it going woot

now make something great

[nova brook]

Yeah Thanks for helping also dumbest thing i ever seen throughout folllowing a course

[wicked roost]

oh you should see my life, i only know the things i do know because ive broken everything there is to break in unity every version since 2015 and had to fix them

#1180178376028327936 message

[ripe sphinx]

i upgraded my project to the latest LTS version and i got an error in one of my packages that i've never seen before

It's complaining about a SerializeField attribute being on a function

The asset is assethunterpro. But like after the upgrade I can't even see it in my list of packages in the package manager

[vivid cedar]

correct because it's just in your Assets folder

are you using it or not?

[ripe sphinx]

i've never actively used it since i came on the project

[vivid cedar]

but is the project using it?

[ripe sphinx]

it's just an asset that is used to figure out other non functional assets

based on the description

[ripe sphinx]

so i guess it's not a core dependency for the project? but i'm not fully sure how to confirm that there's not other pieces that are directly used

[vivid cedar]

not really sure what that means exactly.

If the project is not using it, go ahead and just delete the folder to save yourself the headache.

If the project IS using it the best bet is to contact the asset publisher and tell them which unity version you're on and what errors you're seeing

[nova brook]

My code is correct and also everything ok but after adding following code for ⁨```public void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
{
Destroy(gameObject);
}

[vivid cedar]

your code is not correct.
This little snippet you shared is ok but you have a problem with the broader structure of your code

most likely mismatched braces {}

[ripe sphinx]

how would i confirm? like just grep the project to see if the namespace for the asset appears in functional code?

[vivid cedar]

The best way would be to ask other members of the team working on it if it's being used

[stuck flower]

Look at the file for whatever your IDE is underlining in red

[vivid cedar]

Assets aren't necessarily referenced directly in your code. They could be editor tools someone is using for example

[ripe sphinx]

we all kind of took on the project after the previous maintainers left

and it looks like it's been in there for a few years

[vivid cedar]

another way to find out is to save your work (git commit ideally), delete it, and see if anything breaks

which could be difficult

but yeah just taking over someone else's project without any context is going to be a nightmare in a lot of ways

[ripe sphinx]

it has been 😭

[nova brook]

⁨``` using UnityEngine;

public class Collectible : MonoBehaviour
{
public float rotationSpeed;
public GameObject onCollectEffect;

// Start is called once before the first execution of Update after the MonoBehaviour is created
void Start()

}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
    transform.Rotate(0, rotationSpeed, 0);

{
public void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
{
    Destroy(gameObject);
}

}

[vivid cedar]

come now. You don't see an issue here?

Looks like a dude with two left feet

[plucky shuttle]

Hey I want to learn how to model, is there channels to help me with this?

[vivid cedar]

Blender discord would be better. Or Maya or whatever tool you want to use

or maybe there's a 3d modeling discord idk

[plucky shuttle]

Which ever is more simple, what do you recommend?

[vivid cedar]

blender is the best to start with, as it's free free free

[plucky shuttle]

Is it easy to use?

[vivid cedar]

sure?

It's a skill like anything

it will seem scary and overwhelming at first and get easier with practice

[nova brook]

mean the trigger function goes in update()

[vivid cedar]

Is that a question? A statement?

[plucky shuttle]

Ok, thank you!

[vivid cedar]

The trigger function is definitely not supposed to go inside Update, no.

[craggy pollen]

your Update doesnt have a closin } Sabby

you open it but you dont close it

[vivid cedar]

well he tried to but put the wrong one

transcription error

[nova brook]

oh WTH

[vivid cedar]

hence the "two left feet" comment

[craggy pollen]

oh yeah lol

[vivid cedar]

In time, with experience, that kind of error will really pop out and look weird as hell to you immediately

[ripe sphinx]

what's the distinction between an asset and a package?

[vivid cedar]

Kind of a complicated and weird story but essentially:

• Assets can be packages.
• When we say package in this context I'm specifically talking about "UPM Packages", which are the things you will see in the Package folder. Many or most Asset Store Assets will simply be dumped in a folder in your Assets folder like you are seeing here

Packages are much nicer because they are just external dependencies essentially that don't clutter up your project's asset folder and don't need to committed to version control the same way (just a reference to them in the Manifest.json file)

[ripe sphinx]

that is kinda confusing. why aren't all assets treated and handled like packages

[vivid cedar]

For historical/legacy reasons. Many many assets were uploaded and created before the package system was formalized

[ripe sphinx]

ah

[vivid cedar]

Also, Unity is undergoing a longer term process to handle dependencies more uniformly the way the rest of the broader C# ecosystem does with NuGet. So even the UPM/package system will become outdated too

It's a bit of a mess

[ripe sphinx]

oof

ok and is there an easy way to see if an asset is being used in the project?

[vivid cedar]

Well not really, becaue like i said "being used" could vary from "some people are using this in the editor as an edit-time tool" to "our scenes are using components or assets from it and/or our code is referencing and using the code in it"

[worldly cave]

to be fair i think unity should at least let you track if you imported any custom packages at any point

dont think you can even see that

[vivid cedar]

you can't yeah, unless it's an actual UPM package

[worldly cave]

yeah you have to keep a manual list

which is whatever

i only have 2 custom packages i ever import for my projects

[ripe sphinx]

right my b.

Whelp

[worldly cave]

but still, for larger projects it would be nice qol

just like a simple .txt that says "hey at this time on this date you imported "whatever.asset""

[ripe sphinx]

for the sake of upgrade i don't see how its not a thign

sorry another question. for upgrading assets from the asset store that are paid, that would need to be tied to the person's account who bought it yeah?

there's a bunch of dependencies here that are paid assets. i assume that if i want to upgrade them, i'd need to be logged into the person's unity account that paid for them in the first place

[crude pivot]

Im doing a moovment with animations but the diagonal line IDLE are not working does someone know what could be the problem?

[charred fog]

@crude pivot This is not an #🏃┃animation channel, don't cross-post please and ask the full question.

[worldly cave]

i think that depends on the asset

know that a lot of assets use "seats" so you have to consider that as well

someone buying 1 seat of the asset doesnt mean they can share it with anyone else working on the project without buying them a seat additionally

[ripe sphinx]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/AssetStorePackages.html

I tried following the instructions in here to see the full list of packages but there's only 1 that registers out of the 50-60 that the app uses

So like i'm wondering what my recourse is now 😭

[shut jacinth]

Hi everyone.
I need a Unity animation with hands building a house of cards.
Only animation, not gameplay.
Could you explain the exact steps from scratch? I’m a beginner and I started with a socket-based approach.

[shut jacinth]

Can you explain because you are online

[ripe sphinx]

sorry i'm not sure what you're asking specifically

[shut jacinth]

How to create animation in udemy

Like arms movement, and cards need to be where man puts

Like in real life

When you make house from cards

[ripe sphinx]

i'm not really familiar with how animations work in unity tbh. i'm sure that there's probably unity animation tutorials that you can learn the fundamentals and then you can use that knowledge to figure out how to create the animation you want?

[worldly cave]

sounds to me like youre just looking for an animation

youre better off animating it in some other 3d software and importing it in unity

animating this directly in unity sounds like a nightmare if not short of impossible.

[shut jacinth]

Oh but for example in ue5 se have sockets, but ue5 is weird for vram

[worldly cave]

sockets as in networking?

those are the only sockets im familliar with in unity.

or are you talking about the vr stuff?

because you havent mentioned either vr or networking

[shut jacinth]

Like when you use sword in game, sword just stick

Or gun

[worldly cave]

are you talking about vr?

you should really be specific here

[shut jacinth]

No

I want to make short animation

[worldly cave]

so by socket you just mean some bone on the character that you can parent it to?

or what lol

[shut jacinth]

Yeah

[worldly cave]

youre better off doing that in something like blender

like i said

unity is not a good animation software

[shut jacinth]

Ok but for texture

Can I upload 4k texture

In blender

[worldly cave]

you can upload a 16k texture in blender if you choose

also textures are irrelevant to animation

mostly

[shut jacinth]

Ok thanks

That will reduce time

I think Its best advice I can get

[ripe sphinx]

can the unity package manager track manually inserted assets?

probably not eh?

[plain dagger]

Nope not at all

you would have to move them to a package (local, git repo or npm hosted)

[copper ridge]

-- Female Chest -- (NSFW parts covered by blocks)

WHY- Please help. I want the TRANSPARENT material to actually stay transparent. I change it to transclipping- BROKEN, fade- BROKEN, Transparent- BROKEN, Cutout? BROKEN.

Every single thing I do to this material breaks. I have created countless new materials, tried everything with the alphas. WHAT IS FREAKING GOING ON MAN?!? It was JUST working on my other model

[plain dagger]

i presume trans clip is meant to be opaque + alpha clip
try changing the alpha clip threshold to not be soo damn low

I see this is for vr chat so your options are limited compared to normal unity but doesnt help that they name things differently

[copper ridge]

Changing the alpha threshhold does nothing. Everytime I go into play mode, the entire material messes up

[plain dagger]

ngl this material looks overly complex in weird ways so there is probably some stupid setting in there

[boreal river]

Hey, guys! How are you? Anybody here that took place in GGJ?

[plain dagger]

btw why tf is your alpha texture 11 mb good lord

why is it even its own texture anyway vr chat people hate performance i guess

[copper ridge]

Dont ask me why the mb are like that, I am just a consumer trying to fix a model

[plain dagger]

well i presume there are docs for this thing you purchased so go check those
Not much more we can do to help. Vr chat is known for its vast differences and limitations

^ or ask here

ill say that the material changing when you play implies something is altering it affecting your settings

[worldly cave]

maybe some kind of property block 🤔

[plain dagger]

fuck knows in that big ass shader with all that crud

Does this even need such a complex shader? probably not

[worldly cave]

yeah you could check the documentation for the shader itself if it exists

it does actually i just googled it

they have an entire website

[plain dagger]

the vr chat waifu shader business is big

[worldly cave]

https://youtu.be/jvaoZJmjENs they even have an entire video for dealing with transparency issues

this is an incredibly detailed documentation page for a shader 😭

why cant everyone do this for everything

[worldly cave]

@copper ridgesee if this helps you out

[plain dagger]

not terrible but I cant forgive the sepeate alpha tex input

but i get it, its to make this easier for vr chat players

[worldly cave]

ʷʰʸ ᶦˢ ᵗʰᵉ ⁿᵒʳᵐᵃˡ ˢᵐᵃˡˡᵉʳ ᵗʰᵃⁿ ᵗʰᵉ ᵐᵒⁿᵒᶜʰʳᵒᵐᵃᵗᶦᶜ ᵃˡᵖʰᵃ

[copper ridge]

Take it up with VrChatters who sell these assets.

Like I said, I am just a consumer trying to fix a stupid model

[plain dagger]

Yea so check their docs/the video above for how to use this specific shader

Transparent or alpha clip should just work

[worldly cave]

okay im way too invested into this now for no reason but why are you using transclipping over transparent?

https://www.poiyomi.com/general/render-preset#transparent

[plain dagger]

If thats alpha clip then it will be more reliable than actual transparent

again, if it means what I think

erm its not wtf is this

[worldly cave]

okay i think transclipping you would use only if you have multiple transparent objects overlapping each others transparency 🤔

I need help on this and i cant really describ it i would be really tahnkfull if somone got some time to jump on a clal and help me out i am close to cry..

[plain dagger]

Share more info in #💻┃code-beginner along with the code itself so we can help

[feral smelt]

Its hard to show the code i am not able to think clear currently because it seems that my projeced died is there a way to tlak to somone of you i am better in explaining

I got some errors with the library, so I deleted it and now I'm re-opening the Unity Editor, it's been stuck on importing my render pipelines for an hour now, is this normal for a small game?

[worldly cave]

you can talk to us right here

yes

its pretty normal to wait some time

for my current project it takes close to 25 mins when i have to do it, perfect excuse for a walk

[fossil smelt]

Alright.

Just thought an hour was kind of an over-extended amount of time.

Thanks.

[worldly cave]

an hour is pretty long

nvm i see that it says an hour in the screenshot

my bad

[worldly cave]

anyways an hour is pretty long imo, it still depends on the size of the game itself, is it fully stuck on anything or is it making any progress

[radiant pewter]

ok well this is new - why is layout group controlling it's parent's position?

seems I can change it's anchor preset, just can't access the x and y position fields

removing and readding the layout group seems to have fixed it, so weird

[plain dagger]

Thats not how it works so the parent must have something controlling it e.g. layout group, scroll rect, aspect ratio fitter

or a content size fitter but that sets its size only

[radiant pewter]

I think it just bugged out tbh - I double checked for those

[plain dagger]

Its scale is .25 so thats probably causing weird shit

change it back to 1,1,1 and then try re doing stuff

[radiant pewter]

Well it's fixed already, but yeah really weird

unity UI always has something up its sleeve just when you think it's going well lol

[plain dagger]

uitk is a bit better as that follows css like positioning quite well

[worldly cave]

theres this big singularity where most engines seem to converge onto the same thing here

"html as ui is easy"

[plain dagger]

well flex layout and most general styling options are things you probably want so thats already very similar

and it was time unity had a system that didnt rely on game objects

[worldly cave]

going to sound like a broken record here

but s&box

also uses razor which is the same thing

direct html and c# integration

[plain dagger]

ive used rmlui (in a source mod) and thats also very similar
html + css is soo well known why not copy it?

As long as its decently featured and performs well im good

[sick pewter]

Hi, I'm making a mod for a Unity game, and I have a question. If a texture is applied to an object/model in the game, is there a way to only apply the texture to a specific Material, while leaving the rest on the model itself?

[plain dagger]

#📖┃code-of-conduct talk about modding is not allowed but other unity questions are

[pale furnace]

These files seem like data caches of some kind, is there a way to delete them or shrink them without breaking stuff?

[balmy kettle]

you shouldn't be committing/pushing anything within the Library folder, your .gitignore file should be covering that already

[plain dagger]

im gonna guess no gitignore is in use 😆

You need to undo this commit, remove ALL library files via git and then add a gitignore for unity projects

github desktop has an easy way to "undo" a commit which puts the commit back into your working copy

[pale furnace]

Huh. May have set that up wrong. I set a gitignore for unity but then like I got into some confusion with getting the project into the correct folder and just dragged the repo folder to another place then the whole project file in it was kinda a mess this is my first time using github desktop

[plain dagger]

If library files were already tracked then changing gitignore rules wont affect em

you therefore have to explicitly untrack them first then add the gitignore rule

[pale furnace]

Huh ok I'll try that

[plain dagger]

basically gitignore rules ignore certain files so you dont track them in the first place

[pale furnace]

It says it's supposed to be in the root, does that mean it should be in here? Because previously it was in the folder that this folder is inside of.

[plain dagger]

Yes

WAIT

[plain dagger]

the gitignore isnt working because you have everything in a subfolder to root. the pre made unity gitignore presumes Assets and everything else is in the root.
You either need to move everything up ../ or correct the git ignore yourself.

I can tell because the ⁨.git⁩ folder is not present in the screenshot.

[pale furnace]

Ah ok thanks

[solar panther]

Finally, I've set it up my FPS Controller but there's something wrong.

i want a shader that will censor my mesh by creating mosaic bluriness thats transparent and i wont need a texture for it. anybody knows a free shader that can do this?

[placid marlin]

i have question, why is text visible on web build when i play in the browser but on itch it's invisible

[fierce dock]

wheres the best place to learn C# coding? im new i already know stuff about unity the gamespace etc i just wanna learn how to code c#.if anyone knows where it would help alot.

[placid marlin]

the other text uses the same font in another scene and that one is fine

[cloud flower]

how many here use multiple programs like blender photoshop etc

[plain dagger]

Do you mean some kind of pixelation post process effect? That can be re created yourself via a shader graph full screen shader and a custom post processing pass (to render some objects into a mask for the effect for example)

Some pre made solutions probably do exist though but I dont know

[wind frost]

mhm! unfortunately im not so smart to make that myself ><

[plain dagger]

Hmm got any shader experience?

[wind frost]

no i just make cool vrchat avatars lol

[plain dagger]

Oh well if this is for vr chat that changes things cus I have no idea what they let you do there

[wind frost]

any shader works

i used to have it!! but i lost my files and idk who made it

[plain dagger]

Do to this properly a post processing effect is best I think

basically to produce the pixelated effect you would sample the frame buffer with reduced precision in the areas you desire

[fierce valley]

What's the best way to make river splashes/particles using the particle system? The default particle looks a little too fake

[inland river]

the best way is to paint/make your own particle flipbooks.

Yes, you should use it for yourself. It's where job/collaboration posts should go.

[torpid zephyr]

Isd there anyone that would like to help me fix my Bakery?

anyone professional maybe?

[potent geyser]

https://geom.io/bakery/wiki/index.php?title=Bakery_-_GPU_Lightmapper

There is a support link at the bottom.

[torpid zephyr]

no matter what I do it keeps giving me this

[potent geyser]

And did you run it?

[torpid zephyr]

im about to

wtf

wait

sorry for cussing

[potent geyser]

And did you make sure?

[torpid zephyr]

Yup

ik all of those are correct

(drivers)

up to date

[potent geyser]

Then reach out to their support

That's as professional as you can get

[torpid zephyr]

Alrighty

I will also try just re installing bakery

just in case

[potent geyser]

Also try on a blank project as well.

[torpid zephyr]

Will do

I am going to check to see if there are any bakery dependencies missing

[potent geyser]

Also, from the store page:
⁨NOTE: Requires modern Nvidia GPU (6xx or newer) and 64-bit Windows (7 or higher).⁩

[torpid zephyr]

im on a rtx3060

running 64

there is a lot of stuff that isn't imported into bakrey

im seeing it right now

idk why

nvm,

its just broke

ill use normal lighting settings

ill live

Light probes with normal lighting will work

so ill be fine

I appriciate your help

[rocky fractal]

Where would I post about an editor tool/potential asset I am working on?

Its not a game project, so not sure if it goes in #1180170818983051344 or not. And it isnt on the asset store yet as I am still working on it and just want to get feedback. So I dont think I post in #1080140002849214464 either?

[vivid cedar]

dev logs is fine

[rocky fractal]

Ok, thanks. 🙂

[oak meadow]

I have a object with a particle system on it and when i enable it it plays an explosion But I want to change the sorting order so i can see it any ideas?

[vivid cedar]

Sorting order is in the rendering tab in the inspector I believe.

Also #✨┃vfx-and-particles

[minor moth]

i read that it wasnt possible in srp and its a default option in urp should i just switch over?

[reef dagger]

So, by default does unity keep a backup of the files?

like, the last save

I deleted a folder, that I reallly didn't want to delete

Windows recycle bin

❤️

[balmy kettle]

you need to set up some sort of version control like git or unity version control. unity does not back up your files automatically for you

[meager fractal]

any advice made in blender btw

[gusty abyss]

can Unity read .ico files as image files?

or will I have to convert them all

[copper gust]

Convert i think

[tropic peak]

When I try to do a WebGL build (i tested it on a brand new project) I get this error (attached) I tried deleting Library\Bee but which was some of the suggestions when I looked up how to fix this error but it still gave the same error

[narrow sedge]

hey ive started unity a few months ago and im trying so hard to learn how to code c# and i cannot. does anyone have recommendations on a good tutorial?

[tropic peak]

code monkey has some good c# tutorials

[narrow sedge]

thanks bro ill look into it

[nova brook]

Yeah C# course by codemonkey is best ... But if you want better understanding about C# try microsoft C# foundational certificate.

you can find this on freecodecamp website

[fossil smelt]

I deleted library folder due to some bugs with it, but now it's been stuck on this without making any progress at all for over 18 hours.

my game is really small as well.

[nova brook]

18 hours wth ,which version are you using

[fossil smelt]

2021.3.26f1.

[nova brook]

First open task manager and look for unity related executables select them and end task
Then again delete library folder
After that , press WIN+R and type prefetch a folder will appear select all files in that folder and delete them bcz these are useless no affect on your PC

Then restart pc and open again I hope it works for you

[fossil smelt]

alright

thanks I'll try.

[fossil smelt]

oh no almost all my stuff got corrupted

[nova brook]

No that's not bcz these steps bcz these all steps are windows related not unity

[fossil smelt]

I know.

It's something else

I don't know how it got corrupted, but it did

[nova brook]

Try minor version change like 2021.3.26f1 to something minor up version mean like f2

[jolly copper]

my assets won't load

[limber venture]

how the hell do i ajust the mapping for my humanoid foot? i cant find an answer online - the bone is sloped downwards while the mesh is flat.
tried everywhere, moving the bone just moves the foot mesh

[vapid dock]

any idea why that happens? I copied the default character and swapped the mesh and animations for mario and now the camera, animation and jumping is broken

[forest otter]

Hey, are there any must-have assets you guys know about? For localization, controller support, etc? I guess I could just use the input system for controller support

[storm patio]

there's a localization package as well

[copper gust]

ayellowpaper’s serialized dictionary solution

[jolly copper]

is the asset store servers down?

[storm patio]

There's no off-topic here.

[flat breach]

hi, I'd like to make electrified water with electricity, I've looked online and most of the tutorials with vfx graph are outdated and I can't replicate what they do and I've never used VFX graph neither, do you guys know another way to achieve this or a tutorial on this please?

[craggy pollen]

do you want that effect only on the water surface or so that the water emmits sparkles outside of the surface

like sparkles that go outside of the surface

[flat breach]

huh both are good I'd say as long as it looks realistic

[fringe dirge]

Is there a really good tutorial for First person controller?

[craggy pollen]

i found 2 prefabs inside the vfx graph that should be exactyl what you are looking for

you simply add the samples addon in the package manager for visual graph

[flat breach]

like when I make a visual effect graph, the presets or an asset? sorry if I don't understand

[craggy pollen]

you got the visual effect graph in the package manager, click on it then inside there are samples you can dl,

[flat breach]

ohh yeaaa, which is the one I'm looking for?

[craggy pollen]

lighting and sparkles

[flat breach]

addition?

[craggy pollen]

oh yeah the one i imported

[craggy pollen]

yes exactly, i also showed on the screenshot

[livid acorn]

why global volume doesnt work

i mean i can see it in scene

but not in game

[flat breach]

ohh yea sorry I didn't see

thank youu so much

[livid acorn]

i am just doing vhs effect for 2d game

[livid acorn]

for main menu

[craggy pollen]

have you enabled it on your camera

[livid acorn]

yeah

post-process is enabled

[charred fog]

Make sure you are using the correct one for the pipeline

[livid acorn]

yes

alr

[craggy pollen]

they said it is working in the scene though

show cam inspector

[charred fog]

Preview always works, it supports both effects regardless of renderer

[livid acorn]

wait

[charred fog]

What pipeline are you using?

[craggy pollen]

glad you like them, you are welcome

[quartz hornet]

its about game development

[livid acorn]

it doesnt lay on buttons and bg

[livid acorn]

i think

in scene

[charred fog]

Are you using URP?

[livid acorn]

yes

[charred fog]

Show volume component

[charred fog]

And this looks like V2 Postprocessing Package Volume

Which is for the built-in pipeline not URP

[livid acorn]

damn

[charred fog]

go into packages and uninstall V2 PP pipeline

[livid acorn]

aaaah

[charred fog]

URP has built-in and those would just confuse you

[livid acorn]

uninstall what?

aah

and i need to remove urp?

[charred fog]

no

[livid acorn]

just uninstall v2 pp pipline and its all i need to do?

[charred fog]

This package is useless on URP make sure it's not installed, remove it

[livid acorn]

aaah

it was

removed

[charred fog]

now replace with same components from URP, they looks like normal scripts and do not have own icons still I think

Largely work the same, with only few modules/features not supported.

[livid acorn]

i need to remove these overrides>

[craggy pollen]

you need to remove the whole component

[livid acorn]

yeah did it

[craggy pollen]

you got Global Volume in your scene work with that thing

it is the built in Urp post procesiing game object

[livid acorn]

aah

can we vc?

[copper gust]

No vc’s here

[livid acorn]

i mean call

[copper gust]

No calls here

[livid acorn]

dm call

[storm patio]

that just defeats the point of having a community server

[copper gust]

No dm calls here

[craggy pollen]

but why, we already eplxained what you have to do, really straight forward

[livid acorn]

i didnt understood this

[storm patio]

cool, then say so

[livid acorn]

and this

[craggy pollen]

look at your hierarchy

[livid acorn]

just u said to remove whole component you mean global volume?

[charred fog]

#💥┃post-processing Has manual linked including detailed walkthrough how to use its components

All resources are pinned there

Which should've been the first place to look really. It explains the difference between pipelines as well

[livid acorn]

sorry that i cant uderstand better i am not native eng, but i just i want to make a vhs effect on my game

[craggy pollen]

not sure if you can do that with pp tho

[charred fog]

This https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.5/Documentation/Manual/urp/integration-with-post-processing.html

[livid acorn]

only urp?

[craggy pollen]

you need shader graph for that

[copper gust]

Not by default but you can

[livid acorn]

can u explain?
