[sly lake]

In Unity you need to

[deft rock]

just make sure LFS is initiated and .gitattributes setup correctly

[sly lake]

Assets are so heavily tied to project versions, you’ll end up with a broken history otherwise

[latent meadow]

makes sense

another resaon i went with the frankencopy instead of deltas (won't work for most people, and can be a pain. the frankencopy i mean)

[fleet tiger]

Can caching be turned off? The library folder is too big.

[latent meadow]

my guess is no, but you can delete the library and let it rebuild. perhaps it is bloated and does not need to be

[deft rock]

delete it and let it rebuild, it'll probably be smaller

depending on how long ago it was built

[fleet tiger]

It takes up 8gb and then there is an extra 5gb coming from somewhere else making that 13gb total

[latent meadow]

and how big is your project itself? the assets folder

[fleet tiger]

It's very small

Only one image and one script

[latent meadow]

and have you tried the suggestion of deleting it?

[fleet tiger]

Goes right back to the original size 8gb

[latent meadow]

i think there is a certain lower limit to its size, but i forget what it is. oh, that does seem a bit high

i do not have the knowledge to help with the actual issue then

[fleet tiger]

I am using version control and I build for android

Dunno if that matters

[latent meadow]

probably caching the android stuff, but that doesn't help reduce the size, just a possible reason For the size

i think you might just have to accept that as the smallest it will be. i would not expect it to be exponential, like if you add another image, i do not expect the size to jump

and that of course is not going to end up as part of your Build size

[fleet tiger]

I gotta run two different projects

So that's like 30gb off my storage

[latent meadow]

this is game dev. you'd use much more than that just trying to install UE

[fleet tiger]

Ykw godot may be the best option here

[latent meadow]

it will be smaller, for sure

[fleet tiger]

Faster to install too

[gray frigate]

no, because the Library contains data that Unity generated from your assets (as well as stuff like installed packages)

if you deleted the content in it, then Unity would have to create it again

[viscid raft]

Hi, I strongly suggest you watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Dd7KRpKeaE
It explains version control using Git, hosting your project on GitHub (allows you to share it online) and using Github desktop to combine the two very easily, including seeing what you changed and managing different versions of your project depending on hat you work on.

[fleet tiger]

What packages?

[deft rock]

from the package manager

[gray frigate]

packages provide things like the AI navigation system, your render pipeline (URP, most likely), etc.

[fleet tiger]

Why are they large?

[deft rock]

some are, some aren't.. and because they need to be for their content

[gray frigate]

the only really big package is the Burst package

i was just listing various things you find in the Library

Most of the space is taken up by imported assets.

[latent meadow]

they said they have the android pipe installed. do we know if that gets cached in library too?

[gray frigate]

i'm not familiar with what "android pipe" would be

[deft rock]

He means module

[gray frigate]

ah

that module would be part of the editor installation

[deft rock]

the module installation isn't in the packages

[gray frigate]

here's my library for a decently sized game

Some of this is cached build content, which you could, indeed, get rid of

(now your next build has to start from scratch)

[deft rock]

Just deleted a 20GB library to do a rebuild, see if it's smaller and fixes an issue on Android

[latent meadow]

that will be interesting to know

[fleet tiger]

So the large size is due to the android build?

[deft rock]

no, that is not what was said or impllied

[gray frigate]

the library does grow after your first build

unity saves and re-uses as much as possible

for example, it will remember all of the textures that it created for the Android build

[tulip panther]

can I ask for help in this channel?

[gray frigate]

(they require different texture compression formats than desktop games)

[gray frigate]

indeed, but check #🔎┃find-a-channel first

There may be a more specific channel!

[deft rock]

only if there's no better channel for your question's topic - read channel topics

[fleet tiger]

That's too big though

[tulip panther]

I did but Im facing a problem that im not sure where

could be modeling or unity itself

[hoary egret]

hi im facing a script compiling issue for months like if i add any script in any project i need to do a restart for that to work any fixes

[deft rock]

#🔀┃art-asset-workflow

[vivid cedar]

you need to share the details

otherwise we can only wildly guess

[latent meadow]

also make sure your ide is properly configured @ SriRam

!ide

[vagrant root]

💡 IDE Configuration

If your IDE is not autocompleting code or underlining errors, please configure it.

Select one:

• Visual Studio (Installed via Unity Hub)
• Visual Studio (Installed manually)
• VS Code
• JetBrains Rider
• :question: Other/None

[gray frigate]

what does "that to work" mean?

is Unity freezing? is there a compile error? is your code editor just not giving you syntax highlighting?

[hoary egret]

bro like if i add a movement script and add float speed = 10 f it wont work after restarting the script will work

[gray frigate]

what does "work" mean?

[vivid cedar]

What does "won't work" mean

[hoary egret]

it wont run ok

[vivid cedar]

wdym by that?

Like - you can't attach it to objects?

[gray frigate]

You need to tell us what is actually happening.

[vivid cedar]

What happens when you try?

you might think it's obvious but just spell it out.

[hoary egret]

actually the script is not compiling and after restarting it compiling

[vivid cedar]

DO you have auto refresh disabled?

[gray frigate]

why do you think it's not compiling?

[tulip panther]

ok guys Im gonna ask here then
Im facing a problem with my gameobject (3d model) which is not touching the ground
my character controller is touching the floor (just a plane) but everytime I start the game its start to fly. I can move it, but its not in the right position

this is my character movement code, but I think its not related to that cuz even if I disable nothing happen

https://dontpad.com/character-movement-kevin

[fleet tiger]

How many of these packages do I need?

[gray frigate]

It's possible that your animation is pushing you into the air

[hoary egret]

cuz the fields r not visible in the inspector after restarting its visible in inspector

[storm patio]

as many as you need?

[gray frigate]

Go back to the scene view after entering play mode

See where the capsule is

[storm patio]

new fields you just added, or just random fields?

[vivid cedar]

Edit -> Preferences -> Asset Pipeline -> Auto Refresh

what is that set to?

[fleet tiger]

No like which ones do I need for my project to function?

[hoary egret]

nah new fields i added

[gray frigate]

all of them

[deft rock]

It's now 4.5GB

[storm patio]

depends on what your project needs to function...

[latent meadow]

should Center be 1.87/2?

[fleet tiger]

Really?

[gray frigate]

you're not going to magically get rid of the Library folder and the space it takes up

if you're completely out of storage space, then you need to fix that

remember that you can toss the Library folder for archived projects

I do that to save space once I'm done working on a VRC avatar

[fleet tiger]

Im not it's just im on 100gb and I may need that storage later

[hoary egret]

i deleted whole unity stuffs gonna reinstall all

[vivid cedar]

Why not just check the setting

lol

[fleet tiger]

I have 2 different projects i need to work on and one of them is for the android one

[gray frigate]

that sounds like less of a hassle, yes

[hoary egret]

sry mb

can u tell what r the settings i need to look for

[storm patio]

#💻┃unity-talk message

if you're gonna come ask, please do pay attention to the answers

[vivid cedar]

I already did

[hoary egret]

ok

[hoary egret]

tq

[fleet tiger]

Wonder why unity and unreal are the only engines with projects that have large sizes and the rest don't

[deft rock]

Is Godot making top tier games in graphics and size?

And have 30? years of development..

[fleet tiger]

It have good games

[sly lake]

Unity has fantastic tools for compression

It can produce much smaller web games than Godot if you strip it properly

[gray frigate]

we're talking strictly about the project size here

[sly lake]

Project size is what you put into it though

[gray frigate]

sort-of

note how the Library is a lot larger than the actual assets

(and can wind up very large as it fills up with build artifacts and 23 trillion shader variants)

compiling URP/Lit (fp) (436/34896349456845945)

[sly lake]

Right. I don’t think that’s really worth optimizing for file size

Though optimizing for shader variant count is worthwile in some ways

[fleet tiger]

"Smaller"

[pale mango]

looking to learn c#, where should i learn it? Are there youtube tutorials i should watch and then replicate and then try stuff myself, or should i use coding sites like coddy to learn c#. and should i learn as much as possible and then try to code stuff or should i learn a little bit and then try to create my own very simple systems, and then learn more and try to create more advanced stuff. and how many hours should i spend learning c#, is a hour a day enough, or 2 hours, or 3, etc?

[storm patio]

there are resources pinned in #💻┃code-beginner. everyone learns differently, try out various stuff and see what sticks

[vivid cedar]

I recommend the self-guided interactive tour here https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/learn/csharp

[fleet tiger]

Really it's about project cache size

[pale mango]

Okay thanks will check it out asap!

[pale mango]

Okay Will also try thanks alot

[fleet tiger]

Yes it is

[sly lake]

Even if it means the engine is slower?

[fleet tiger]

Godot is pretty fast

[sly lake]

In small projects

[fleet tiger]

Not entirely true

[latent meadow]

ok, anyhow, use godot or unity, but pick one.

[sly lake]

Unity is made for companies. A couple gigabytes of asset database or what have you doesn't make a difference to a professional team

[fleet tiger]

It very much does for me

[sly lake]

Are you paying for the engine though 😄

[fleet tiger]

Companies have money for more storage. I don't.

[fleet tiger]

Why ask that? But no to answer your question.

[sly lake]

Godot's goal is to make game development approachable for beginners. Unity's goal is serving their customers.

[maiden tusk]

does unity still have the runtime fee thing?

[sly lake]

No, that was never a thing.

[maiden tusk]

nice

is there any chance it would happen in the future?

[fleet tiger]

I thought that was if you earn a certain amount

[vivid cedar]

Nobody can predict the future

[maiden tusk]

oh, damn alright

[fleet tiger]

Anyways I don't have storage to waste so I need something smaller

[vivid cedar]

Just as Unreal or Godot could theoretically do such a thing in the future

anything can happen

[latent meadow]

CEO got canned, PR disaster, full reversal on the idea. Unlikely it will return.

[maiden tusk]

godot cant really

[maiden tusk]

thats reassuring

[sly lake]

Open source can get enshittified too. Look at Wordpress.

[fleet tiger]

It's not impossible

[latent meadow]

i love the fact that enshitification is an accepted technical term 😁

[humble steeple]

hi thier

[fleet tiger]

I wish I knew what that word meant

[sly lake]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enshittification

[humble steeple]

i am new to unity and i am making a mini game for learning. I added floor and character but when i place any new colider the character wont jump

can someone help whats wrong ?

[vivid cedar]

placing a collider won't make a character jump on its own

you need a script

[humble steeple]

i made a script

[maiden tusk]

idk about wordpress but godot is under the mit license, the most permissive one, it can always be forked and made better or maintain a certain standard of quality

[sly lake]

Yes, but now you're stuck maintaining a fork

[vivid cedar]

Well since none of us are mind readers, why don't you share the details of your problem, including the code and what you did, in #💻┃code-beginner ?

[humble steeple]

the character is jumping on the colider i made yesterday but when now i try it it dont jump

[fleet tiger]

Is that what unity did

[vivid cedar]

probably an issue with the layers or tags that your ground check is using and the new collider

[maiden tusk]

i am not saying godot is perfect, heck, i am angry at it coz i am stuck coz of its lack of features in 3d. but the open nature of it allows US the user to do as we please 🙂

[fleet tiger]

It's open source so you can easily fix that🗿

[sly lake]

Runtime fee would be an example, yes

[maiden tusk]

i use a fork of godot myself, actually i use two, one for development and one for steam stuff. the community is amazing. i myself have written multiple new features in godot, just coz its so lacklustre

im exploring other options now, unity, unreal, making my own :p

[fleet tiger]

Wish we had something small but also something that can easily be extended

[sly lake]

Have you looked at heaps.io?

[fleet tiger]

What's that?

[vivid cedar]

pygame? LWJGL?

[maiden tusk]

can vouch that lwjgl is nice

[vivid cedar]

Minecraft was built on LWJGL

[woven thunder]

Hi

[maiden tusk]

thinmatrix uses it to make his game

[sly lake]

It's the engine Wartales and Dune: Spice Wars run on.

The editor is optional.

I don't know if the 3D graphics are particularly state-of-the-art, but it's definitely small.

[maiden tusk]

haxe looks certainly interesting

i found another awesome engine made by a single dev on twitter the other day, it was stunning

[sly lake]

It's easy to make things pretty

Hard to make things scale to production 🙂

[fleet tiger]

Im not touching that again

[fleet tiger]

Im also trying to compile for android and ios

FixupX · Feb 17, 2026, 6:43 PM

its in very early phase, but i think it has potential, if they make the editor nicer

[sly lake]

Oh gods, that doesn't scale 😄

[vivid cedar]

LWJGL works on iOS and android with libGDX or jMonkeyEngine

[sly lake]

I suppose if you relight the cubemaps it's not too bad, but you're still rendering an additional SIX gbuffers

[gray frigate]

relight?

[fleet tiger]

jMonkeyEngine?

[maiden tusk]

its an engine built on top of lwjgl using java

[vivid cedar]

libgdx is maybe more promising

[sly lake]

Nvm, that doesn't really apply to realtime

But relightable cubemaps means you bake the gbuffer then you process the lighting at runtime

Means your reflection probe bakes are independent of lighting conditions

[gray frigate]

Oh, that's clever!

I've never heard of that before

but it makes sense

(and not relevant here, yeah)

[fleet tiger]

This is a java only library?

[maiden tusk]

lwjgl is a java only library

[arctic portal]

how can i make the centre of this prefab to the start?

[maiden tusk]

light weight java game library

[fleet tiger]

What languages does libgdx support then?

[gray frigate]

You'd need to move the child objects around.

[vivid cedar]

libGDX is a cross-platform Java game development framework

[fleet tiger]

So it's only for java?

[sly lake]

You mean the pivot? You'll just need to move the child objects

[maiden tusk]

yeah

[sly lake]

The center is not changeable. It's computed based on the bounding box of child meshes

[maiden tusk]

java, believe it or not, is pretty good for game dev

[fleet tiger]

Oh that's not bad then im pretty sure I can quickly learn java

[vivid cedar]

Java is similar to C#

[fleet tiger]

Really??

[vivid cedar]

it's just like... C# but worse

[maiden tusk]

c# is basically microsoft's version of java

[fleet tiger]

I could never find a good library for it but I always loved the language

[tall hearth]

Isnt it off the center when modeled?

[maiden tusk]

yeah its the only one out there ig

[gray frigate]

Wolfos is talking about the point you get when you switch the scene from view from "Pivot" to "Center" mode

[fleet tiger]

I personally don't see the problem

[gray frigate]

(you probably care about the Pivot mode anyway)

Center exists mostly as a prank

[tall hearth]

Ohh right yeah nvm then

[gray frigate]

"why in god's name are the handles in space"

[fleet tiger]

Btw is c# worth the switch from c++?

[sly lake]

It's very useful if your meshes are poorly authored

[gray frigate]

it is useful for manipulating many objects at once

[maiden tusk]

java is only about 60% slower than cpp, so in indie projects you will prolly never see a difference

[storm patio]

as a recent returner to java, i really miss properties and operator overloading

[gray frigate]

Java really does feel like the Less Cool C#

[sly lake]

60% slower? Goodness

[gray frigate]

i was teaching it last summer and i kept thinking "ugh i wish this was C#"

[maiden tusk]

hell no, cpp is like universally the best language for game dev (might be biased xD)

[arctic portal]

ohh alright thank you

[fleet tiger]

Minecraft java is written in java but it runs so smoothly

[maiden tusk]

yeah

[sly lake]

Where are you reading that?

[tall hearth]

Been forced to use java in school and i miss c# every single day 😔

[storm patio]

enums having fields in java is pretty cool though

and there was another feature that ive forgotten

[tall hearth]

It really doesnt though

[gray frigate]

That is one thing that C# lacks!

[maiden tusk]

✨the internet ✨

on youtube

[fleet tiger]

It does💀

[sly lake]

Oh so you made it up

[maiden tusk]

no no i can provide you with the source

[storm patio]

oh right, method references

[fleet tiger]

Bedrock is written in c++ and it runs so horribly

Now why is that

[storm patio]

i don't think that's because of the language chosen

it's just.. written worse

i can write perfectly working code in any given language and horrible, unperformant, buggy code in any other given language. that means nothing for the 2 involved languages other than they're turing complete

[fleet tiger]

So when does the choice in language matter?

[storm patio]

perf, portability, context/environment, ecosystem, and pref

[sly lake]

I've seen a lot of programming language benchmarks. It's very situational

Here's one where C# happens to beat C++: https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/performance/fannkuchredux.html

[maiden tusk]

i agree, the results vary in java depending upon a lot of factors actually

[sly lake]

For the most part it's just down to how optimized the application is. Language differences disappear into the noise

[storm patio]

swift and historically objc have been the more popular languages for native darwin apps because that's what apple wants you to use

[gray frigate]

Unity's Burst compiler lets you experience some benefits of unmanaged code (no pesky runtime to slow you down)

it's a nice compromise

[storm patio]

similar story for java/kotlin on android

[tall hearth]

Python: 15 minutes 🥀

[maiden tusk]

python is not really meant for game development

if you are a beginner -> c# or java
if you know your CS -> cpp

[gray frigate]

Python is a lovely "glue" language

I use it for so many little things

[sly lake]

I just don't want to use a 1970s programming language lol

[maiden tusk]

i use it for the same purpose, and it works like a wonder!

cpp is still perhaps the most relevant language in terms of game dev, you got a ton of libraries with it too

[exotic relic]

Doesn’t matter when something came out, matters about being updated.
I really enjoy c# over either of those

[fleet tiger]

So choice in language doesn't matter it's how the programmer writes their code?

[arctic portal]

wait but everytime i move the children the pivot moves too

[fleet tiger]

Minecraft bedrock should run better than java but it's the opposite

[maiden tusk]

also not to flex or anything by cpp17 or cpp23 (i cant recall rn) finally got a print function after 40 years 🤣

[sly lake]

Then you probably have it set to center mode

[fleet tiger]

💀

Still waiting on that import feature smh

[maiden tusk]

(i should mention i am talking about it from an engine point of view)

[balmy thistle]

modules?

[fleet tiger]

Yea c++ tryna make imports work

[sly lake]

I'm not really missing anything in C#

[balmy thistle]

MSVC++ has the entire module specification implemented in C++20

I don't know about other compilers

[arctic portal]

center mode?

[maiden tusk]

how about speed?

[sly lake]

C# is a very performant language, when properly optimized

[mental pulsar]

Can someone explain WHY this is going to happen?

[maiden tusk]

i think i agree with you, on indie scale, the speed difference wont really be noticeable

[sly lake]

Set this to pivot

[sly lake]

It's not noticeable on any scale.

[maiden tusk]

it is on a larger scale

automatic gc is nice, but can cause unexpected behaviours

[arctic portal]

got it thank you

[mental pulsar]

Damn.... Thank you!

[maiden tusk]

i mean unity unreal godot, everything is written in cpp for a reason right?

[sly lake]

Unity was written 20 years ago when C# was much slower

[fleet tiger]

Really?

I use clang

[maiden tusk]

the GC spikes are still relevant today tho

🤦‍♂️ i just replied to my own message

cpp is also unsuprisingly consistently faster than c# across the table

console's sdk are generally in cpp too i believe, so you will face some hurdles there

[sly lake]

Right but you'll have less time to optimize because you're fighting a prehistoric language tooth and nail

[maiden tusk]

i can agree on that, cpp is quite a steep learning curve, and outright confusing in some cases, i dont think anyone uses cpp without a cppreference tab open in their browser tho haha

[sly lake]

It's not about the learning curve, I have a lot of experience with it. It's just slower to write code in 😅

And all the tools are worse, run slower and give you less information

Heck, the compiler can't even output readable errors

[maiden tusk]

thats not true, its not more code than a normal java/c# project generally. if you take into account header files, the story changes tho

[tawny quail]

I've mainly seen "fighting C++" if the code base is old and maintaining out-of-date systems, or if the people aren't on the same page about how the language/project works so things aren't flowing nicely/have quirks. If it is written in a good way, a lot of the fighting goes away in my experience. C++ compilers do suck though

[sly lake]

Either way, it's all down to your code structures. You can quite easily beat the generic engines in almost any language, on the CPU.

It's the GPU where they're hard to out-optimize

Almost any meaning; maybe not Python 🙂

Of course cache-optimized C# will beat Unreal's inheritance heavy actor paradigm, or Unity's MonoBehaviours.

[exotic relic]

So in the end it’s really the skills and logic the programmer applies to the application, for how performant it will truly run

[sly lake]

Yes, but I believe specialized engines generally have a performance edge because you simply have to do less.

[exotic relic]

I’m into unity

[balmy thistle]

and in-house engines like HPL

Hello guys 🤠

[stuck flower]

Because China doesn't like the idea of anyone in China using software developed by non-Chinese companies. They buy out the rights to produce State-sponsored alternatives and then eventually cut out any access outside of the country

[mystic rivet]

Hello, I wrote a code, the shelf saving system saves the shelf, but when I exit the game, the shelf does not appear. How can I do this?

[deft rock]

I'm only reading about it on the surface level, because meh.. doesn't directly affect me. However, a Chinese dev on this thread say's that doesn't make sense because other s/w (Unreal is given as one example) don't have that issue

[deft rock]

What's a "shelf" ?
How are you saving it?

[mystic rivet]

There is an object, the object is saved, but when you exit the game and enter it, the object is not where it is.

[worldly cave]

im having deja vu

[stuck flower]

I think it's mostly down to what they can get away with, and Unity's contract gave them enough leeway to fully separate

[worldly cave]

didnt we already have this conversation about the shelf and json files

in length

[stuck flower]

Other companies might have made better deals that are harder for them to take over

[deft rock]

This does not answer the question, just states the same thing with different words.

[worldly cave]

I cant think of any major and popular Chinese assets honestly

so i dont know how much this is going to affect

[mystic rivet]

you don't understand what you say

https://www.reddit.com/r/Unity3D/comments/1rjdvav/i_made_a_tool_to_check_if_your_unity_assets_are/

[worldly cave]

Last time you came here with this shelf issue

you ended up insulting anyone who tried to help you

What makes you think anybody will tolerate that further to assist you

[sly lake]

Yoo, that's great

[mystic rivet]

Because they were teaching how to save money

[stuck flower]

No, they understand just fine. You are saying nothing in multiple different ways.

[worldly cave]

No they werent

that was an hour long conversation

[stuck flower]

You're going to have to actually explain the issue, because it might come to surprise you that we cannot see your screen

[worldly cave]

where 20 different people tried to explain to you

that the principle is the same exact thing

[sly lake]

I think they're not removing purchased assets, though.

[worldly cave]

they arent

[mystic rivet]

An object is saved, but it leaves the game, the object is not there or anywhere directly where it was saved.

[worldly cave]

they never did, even if an asset has been removed fully

[sly lake]

But you're not getting any updates, so it's still worthwile to check which are affected

[worldly cave]

infima games had a few assets on the unity asset store, mainly animation packs for guns, i still own them fully even though they are removed from the asset store

[stuck flower]

How are you saving the object

you have to actually say what you are doing

We cannot see your screen

[tawny quail]

I still find it funny how unity doesn't just have a thing for this already when they already have the list

[mystic rivet]

I record with PlayerPrefs

[deft rock]

The only instance they'll remove purchased assets is when proven copyright infringement has happened
(and then not tell anyone who bought those assets)

All right, what's the log say when you save, and what does the other log say when you load?

[mystic rivet]

Says the position

[stuck flower]

I'm just gonna wait for you to actually provide information. I'm not going to keep asking for it.

If I stop replying it's because I'm waiting for you to actually give useful information.

[mystic rivet]

I don't understand, I'm Turkish, I'm translating

[stuck flower]

1. What does the log say when saving
2. What does the log say when loading

[stuck flower]

And now, 2?

[stuck flower]

Those match

Different roundings since Vector3 clamps its prints to 2 digits but those are the same numbers

[mystic rivet]

How do I do it? It saves, but I want the object to remain there when I exit the game.

[stuck flower]

It will go back to where you saved it at when you load it

[mystic rivet]

yes when you leave the game

hi, how to remove this decal effect around my text?

[frozen notch]

make it a backgroundless png file

or if it's not an image, check the inspector for any material part

[flat breach]

already is, it doesn't help

[flat breach]

it is an image that I set as base map

backgroundless too

[frozen notch]

try putting it on another material/wall to see if the image is the issue

anybody know how i can fix this in the essential pathway?

[flat breach]

it indeed is the issue, I've already tested putting it onto another wall

[stuck flower]

I don't quite follow what your setup is here, can you show the inspector of this object?

[flat breach]

ohh wait I found the issue, just needs to set the mask opacity in the decal material to 0

[flat breach]

I just used a decal material with a decal projector but nvm, I found the issue, ty for helping though

[mystic rivet]

I don't think anyone here has any control over the Essentials website

[worldly cave]

the website you just said you were having problems with?

oh

its the built in one?

[frozen notch]

yeah

[sly lake]

Make the window bigger?

[frozen notch]

didnt work

[sly lake]

Worth a try

[balmy kettle]

seems like something you should submit a bug report for. and just look on the actual website for that lesson to see what the instructions are supposed to say

[shut cipher]

Unity is my hope. A blind hope. -RE9

[frozen notch]

the website does not show this part

[worldly cave]

See if you can copy the text from the window and paste it elsewhere

[frozen notch]

nah it wont let me select it

[balmy kettle]

yes it does
https://learn.unity.com/pathway/unity-essentials/unit/publishing-essentials/tutorial/publish-to-webgl-1

instead of immediately dismissing something that someone says, you should take a second to verify if what was said was accurate

[stuck flower]

I had zero idea that the Essentials pathways were available anywhere but the unity learn website

[frozen notch]

well the essentail pathway took me to another website

where it didn't fully show it

[balmy kettle]

what the fuck do you mean by that? i literally linked to the lesson in the essentials pathway

[frozen notch]

the quiz took me to a similar website

but it said "go to unity and follow the instructions"

[stuck flower]

This is literally the section you wanted to fix

[balmy kettle]

i have no idea what the hell you are referring to

[frozen notch]

wait

[stuck flower]

I just clicked Box's link and Ctrl+F'd the text you were seeing

[frozen notch]

this is what the website i was refering to looked like

[stuck flower]

Where is that on the link Box sent you

[balmy kettle]

this is the interactive lesson, not the tutorial that i linked. they should both be accessible right there in the side bar which you conveniently cropped out of the screenshot

i have unity 6.3

Yes, they changed the Hub and new tutorials installed from the site I think

It used to have list of tutorials there.

[forest tulip]

oh ok so im not completely stupid

[charred fog]

@forest tulip They moved it to Asset Store, you can get it from there and continue with tutorial https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/tutorials/2d-game-kit-107098

your a gentleman and a scholar ty

it only takes me to my project page but doesnt open anything is that normal

add it to your project through the package manager

Asset Store only links stuff to the package manager, you install from there.

i got a problem with a image. if i put an image and one png on it, it works and if i put the other is just a blank space.

the other png does work

[balmy kettle]

the texture is set to multiple sprite mode and seems to be split in such a way that there is at least one blank sprite which is what you've assigned to the image component

[remote summit]

understood nothing T_T im newie on unity

[balmy kettle]

click the texture in your project window. then look at the inspector for it

[remote summit]

this is all i have btw

oh ok ok

ye it has sprite mods

multiple

[balmy kettle]

i said click the texture in the project window. i did not say click the object in the hierarchy

[remote summit]

and is a sprite 2d and UI

should i change it to single or smth

[balmy kettle]

and is the texture supposed to be more than one sprite?

[remote summit]

no

is only one image

(idk what is a sprite tbh)

but the other one i have is also multiple

and it works?

[balmy kettle]

because that one happens to be sliced correctly. just set it to the correct mode that it is supposed to be

[remote summit]

ok i fixed it

idk what i touched i opened a menu

and it was not selecting the whole item from the png

but only the left corner

wtf

the sprite editor ^^

[proper rivet]

had so many issues w ecs today that i spent 2 hrs tryna fix an error that was just a logic issue

didnt even cross my mind that thatd be the case

[wicked pebble]

I'm a bit unsure where to ask for help about this, I've looked around and it doesn't seem like there is a better channel than this one, so I'll just post it here.

Does anyone know how long it usually takes the unity asset store site to update your list of organizations when you make a new organization ?
i made a new org a couple hours ago, and i can switch to it on the main page of the unity asset store, but when i actually click on assets that i want to buy, i can only pick between my old organizations.

[sly lake]

Still not robust then? Or using an older version?

[flat breach]

hi, I have a player who can move in a scene, the player can open a plan of the world(maze here), I'd like to add a player image on the maze panel which updates his position based on the actual player position, I thought about adding infinite empty gameobjects who have a corresponding anchored position and then getting the nearest point to the player and placing the image at the corresponding position, but it seems like a lot of work, would there be better ways to accomplish this?

[vivid cedar]

I can assure you "inifinite empty objects" is not a good approach.

[flat breach]

yea exactly, but that's the only idea I got lol

[violet thunder]

People often abuse empty transforms when they should be just using Vector3's

[sly lake]

The overhead is pretty small so you can get away with it

[flat breach]

and how to use Vector3s in my case? I only want them inside my maze...

[vivid cedar]

One option is a second camera with a top down orthographic view. Use layer-based rendering on the camera to only show a special layer. Make a simple sphere or cube as a child object of the player (with no physics elements on it) and put that object on the special layer

You can render this camera to a RenderTexture and draw that RenderTexture on the "plan".

As for your original idea though why infinite objects and not just one object at the position of your player

[sly lake]

So the issue is just showing the position of a player on a map?

[flat breach]

great idea, but I think the issue will be that my actual plan isn't exactly the same size as my world, I did it around, so the position will be wrong

[vivid cedar]

Just apply whatever scaling you need to it.

Maybe some screenshots would help us visualize what you're talking about here

[flat breach]

because so I can add a script on these empty gameobjects and add a corresponding position on the plan, idk if u get me but my plan really isn't precise, scaling won't change anything because it's not even correspondant sizes

I forgot how to call this

[sly lake]

It's not to scale?

[flat breach]

yes

[flat breach]

I mean I forgot the word name, but in my game let's say the wall "A" size is 10meters and "B" is 12m, in the map "A" is 1cm and "B" is 1,8cm

[sly lake]

It's not linear?

[vivid cedar]

I would probably put a script in each "room" (maybe not the best word for it) in the actual game world the player can enter. Put the "world map coordinates" of that room on that script.

Then when the player enters a room it notifies the map that the player entered that room, and the map places a red dot representing the player at the given coordinates

something like this

[flat breach]

it's a known mathematical word, why can't I remember it

[gray frigate]

I'd call that a "scale factor"

[flat breach]

Oh yeaaa ur right, that'd be good enough

[vivid cedar]

it's simply more of a conceptual map than a "to scale" map. Sort of like NYC's new subway map

[flat breach]

this also explains it but it was another word nvm lol

[flat breach]

yeaa exactly

[flat breach]

yes$

[gray dirge]

If you already have the map image made, sharing it would not hurt in narrowing down the options to implement the mapping from world units to whatever you have

[vivid cedar]

I'm imagining a fairly limited, hand-crafted map here, with maybe 20-100 locations the player can be

[flat breach]

PROPORTIONAL WAS THE WORD I FOUND IT

[flat breach]

alr, I'll send it, but tbh PraetorBlue's idea was pretty good with the rooms, this'd make everything ez

maybe it doesn't look big like this, but it quite is and adding points everywhere in it would be a waste of time, I think I'll seperate it into rooms and use Vector3s to find in which room the player is and then add a point in this room.

[sly lake]

Maybe just make a screenshot of the map from above, with an isometric camera.

Then place your symbols over it again

Now you have a proportional map

[placid yew]

Can anyone explain why this snippet works for making it readonly? I"m not sure which part of this disallows the editing of the propertyField

[copper gust]

gui.enabled

[placid yew]

Well they reenable it at the end no?

Or is it that order that does the job

[copper gust]

anything rendered when GUI.enabled is false will be read only, and vis versa

[copper gust]

yes (as thats how code works :P)

[violet thunder]

GUI is immediate mode so global state changes (like enabled) apply immediately

[plain dagger]

OnGUI is drawn in the order things are called so thats why that works

[sly lake]

Holy shit that's awful naming 😂

[flat breach]

like this?

[fringe pasture]

Anyone here need a developer?

[copper gust]

you can tell it's a variable from the ancient days

[vivid cedar]

If you've ever seen OpenGL it's similar. The GUI.enabled thing is setting state that the PropertyField call uses when it draws the field.

[plain dagger]

Just use this instead:
https://github.com/v0lt13/EditorAttributes

[sly lake]

Yeah, just modify the levels in an image editor so you get it fully black on white

[flat breach]

alright, tyy

[sly lake]

Levels being this

[flat breach]

what image editor is it?

[sly lake]

This is Photopea

I think others have it too, though

[gray dirge]

Keeping the map proportional would be the way most games do it. If you intentionally want it to be more so of an sketch, then you would need some kind of system such as the room one discussed. Saves you a lot of time and makes the maps fully accurate if you just use proportional map and some simple math to place the location symbol on the corresponding position

[placid yew]

Okkkkk that's what I needed thank you, did not know that.

[sly lake]

Does it still work? I though the current inspector was UI Toolkit

[copper gust]

it does indeed

[placid yew]

OnGui still works yes

I'm working with legacy code so that's why it used this method but doesn't mean I know a lot about OnGui lol

[violet thunder]

AFAIK a lot of the UITK inspector stuff is just wrappers for calling IMGUI code

I love the old GUI system for debug views

[plain dagger]

the project window is

one day the project window will display filenames ON MORE THAN ONE LINE

BigAssFi...

[violet thunder]

Oh yeah hate how they cut off

[gray dirge]

Too much to ask for

[violet thunder]

Especially since I prefix a lot of my asset names

So you just see a bunch of "SFX_...", "SFX_...", "SFX_..." lol

[plain dagger]

You have to change it to list view to read the filenames

[gray dirge]

Give them 10 years so they can develop yet another couple UI libraries to help with that

[violet thunder]

Yeah, at least we can use the scroll wheel for that

[deft rock]

you guys don't have the project window slider all the way to the left?

[violet thunder]

Sometimes seeing the large icons is helpful

But again, you can just ctrl + scroll wheel to quickly adjust it

[plain dagger]

I move it like a yoyo

[violet thunder]

Tbh i didn't even remember there's a slider for it

[plain dagger]

"what sprite is that?" moves to right
"what is the name of this?" moves to left

[deft rock]

I think when I started ~15 years ago I moved it to the left and left it there 😄

[violet thunder]

Btw which unity version has the new hierarchy panel?

[plain dagger]

6.3?

[vivid cedar]

The what now?

[violet thunder]

I'm on 6.3.3.f1 and it has the old one

[violet thunder]

https://discussions.unity.com/t/feedback-on-the-new-hierarchy-panel-in-6-3/1685573/21

Ok found it in Preferences, apparently not on by default!

[plain dagger]

Unity are afraid just like when they changed the context menu and quickly removed it

[copper gust]

i know its proper english but Upper lower Upper lower feels so weird there

[violet thunder]

Damn, just having this altenating color makes it so much more readable

[tawny quail]

I've heard from a few people that the new one is less performant, wonder how it is now

[copper gust]

cinema

[violet thunder]

It seems sort of "async"

When i scroll too fast with the new hierarchy it shows empty for ~1 frame before loading/showing the elements

Which is a bit flickery...

But probably an optimization for huge scenes?

[copper gust]

maybe its firing from a different kinda event?

[plain dagger]

or its just not finished yet

[deft rock]

6.3.3 is pretty old now though, we're up to 6.3.10~~..? Maybe 11 is out~~

mebbe improved performance over those versions 😬

[violet thunder]

I like how the buttons are slightly thicker in the new version

Don't need to quickscope those thin buttons, breaks my flow

Although it would be cool if it was adjustable, some sort of compact mode maybe

Ok i must add, the new hierarchy's search is way faster

I wonder if it does some indexing during gameplay tho

[plain dagger]

Unlike the new search window which seems to reindex my project every time

[naive pivot]

[chrome scaffold]

guys in the unity UI how do you put outlines on things like input fields

[plain dagger]

UGUI with a canvas? You have to fudge it if you dont have a sprite already made

Otherwise in UITK just configure the border style

[chrome scaffold]

wdym fudge it

[plain dagger]

e.g. black image and a white image inside thats slighty smaller.
bam fudged border

or as i said, make a sprite with a border and 9 slice it

[chrome scaffold]

so there isn t a way to make it with a component i need to make it my self then?

[plain dagger]

There is an outline component but how it works means it looks shit pretty quickly
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.ugui@1.0/manual/script-Outline.html

try and see, it may work if the "outline" is thin

[chrome scaffold]

nah the outline componet is straight shit it just changes the colour of the inpout field. ight ty

[tall hearth]

got curious and put it on my image that already had an outline and yeah looks pretty shit

[plain dagger]

It just duplicates it like 4 times and places em to fake it is fucking shite

[copper gust]

jesus christ

[plain dagger]

I guess some kind of edge detection outline was too hard

[chrome scaffold]

ngl i am just gonna make a script to do that i cant be bothered to make the images

[plain dagger]

you wont get anywhere but okay

The solution is a shader, UITK or make a good image externally

[violet thunder]

Outlines isn't a problem that is solved very well overall

[plain dagger]

Or buy procedural image for UGUI and use that

[copper gust]

shoutout that cool linework asset made by that super nerd who loves outline theory

[violet thunder]

Using loops/kernels inside a shader gets super costly when the radius grows

[plain dagger]

Ive done edge detected outlines for sprites decently but you have to sometimes do funky stuff like enlarge the mesh and clamp to make room for the outline

[tall hearth]

It really isnt even 3d outlines suck

[copper gust]

https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/vfx/shaders/linework-outlines-and-edge-detection-294140

inverse hull is a good cheap way thats not a post process effect

But on modern hardware worrying about an outline shader is not worth it

[copper gust]

i got it 70% off 😄

[violet thunder]

It breaks on certain type of meshes/geometry (inverse hull i mean)

[copper gust]

oh thats easy tho just don't make those certain types 😇

[tall hearth]

I'll have to wait for the 99% off

[copper gust]

real

[polar basalt]

how do i reference this in script?

i cant find anything

only for editor

[plain dagger]

use asset database to load the asset https://docs.unity3d.com/2022.3/Documentation/ScriptReference/LightingDataAsset.html

[polar basalt]

yeah but that is UnityEditor

[plain dagger]

tis an editor only class

anyway it does not appear to expose anything so you may have to resort to reading serialized vars or reflection

[polar basalt]

uhm thats not that cool then xd
i mean i could do something like baking the data, because all i need extracted from it is just the lightmaps

[plain dagger]

Well the lightmap assets are created next to the scene so thats easy

[polar basalt]

oh wait..

😭

thank you..

[amber walrus]

Guys I'm having trouble wiht Ai navigation in my game, my enemy keep snapping to the wall of my Navmesh surface instead of walking smoothly in the empty space it has. can someone tell me what technique I can use?

[tall hearth]

might be wrong since i havent used navmesh in 3D before but i hear (from others asking the same thing in the server) that what you are looking for is avoidancePriority
https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/AI.NavMeshAgent-avoidancePriority.html

[amber walrus]

It's more like walking, my enemy when it gets to places snaps to perfectly into the side of the navmesh surface instead of avoiding other enemies or player. I want to know how to fix that so it can use the empty space instead

[warm bramble]

what's more performance heavy, animation or code ? a clock hand moving for example

[tall hearth]

could you share some sort of video then

[tall hearth]

try both and see though i would say a simple code that makes the clock rotate is much lighter to run

[amber walrus]

Alright give me a second

[warm bramble]

the best way to tell is through the unity performance thing/tab right ?

[tall hearth]

the profiler though i doubt you'd see a difference with a single clock

[amber walrus]

Couldn't send a video, but here is screenshot.

I think it's because I'm using NavMesh Agent

[tall hearth]

yeah sorry no clue, maybe someone else will have an answer for you though

[warm bramble]

1000 code clocks vs 1000 animation clocks

[worldly cave]

a 1000 animators is quite a lot

[vivid cedar]

If I had that many I'd do it with a shader

[warm bramble]

if you have that many clocks in your game for sure, but i'm trying to see the performance

[vivid cedar]

"animated with code" is really vague

there are many ways to do that, some more efficient than others

for example you could do all the clocks in a IJobParallelForTransform job

that would be extremely fast

probably faster than the animator

but 1000 updates owuld probably be slower

[warm bramble]

that's what i thought about tbh

calling 1000 update every frame might hurt my pc

ill need to check

[worldly cave]

this entirely depends on whats actually inside your update

[tall hearth]

Curious why would calling update 1k times be slow? Especially when you can call a function (each in their own instance of a class) 1k times in one update function and it not be slow

[vivid cedar]

"slow" is a relative term but the overhead of calling 1000 updates is not nothing, it could be 1 or 2 milliseconds just for the empty update calls

(depending on hardware)

If you're on a mobile device I could see it being 1ms, and then you're spending 6.2%+ of your frame budget just for some clocks?

idk, benchmark/profile it lol

Pretty sure there's a little more overhead having Unity call C# messages than just calling methods yourself too

[warm bramble]

true, i might try different code variations

also, why sometimes builds behave differently than editor ? i've seen it especially with codes that contain lerping

[vivid cedar]

sometimes people write code that behaves differently at different framerates

it's not desirable

[tall hearth]

fair i do know that a huge thing i dont like dealing with at all are Vectors especially in large scale (meaning thousands of calls per frame) they use so much to do so little (i heard something about how each time they are called the code has to talk between c++ and c#, could be wrong though been awhile since i heard this)

[vivid cedar]

it means the code is not written properly

[vivid cedar]

Basically any time Unity calls your code or your code calls a unity API you are communicating between C++ and C# code

[warm bramble]

so how do i make sure that they behave the same way ? Delta time ?

[vivid cedar]

it depends on the specific circumstances

[tall hearth]

this is quite slow no (or well comparatively slow to not having to call c++ at all)

[vivid cedar]

deltaTime is often involved, sure.

[next coyote]

does anyone know why unity keeps "forgetting" my lightmaps until i try baking them again

[vivid cedar]

maybe related to some of the errors in your console?

[next coyote]

which it isn't :/

[copper gust]

you sure?

[next coyote]

yes actually

they're like three one-off NullReferenceExceptions that always happen when the game runs for the first time
and a few that're from a script trying to UV map meshes without Read/Write enabled

they're not the issue

[ebon rivet]

Hey idk if you're still going through this but I had the same problem. I did some digging and it turned out I needed to update some stuff in the package manager.

Pretty much all problems stopped after that so maybe check that out

[stiff dagger]

should I still do Unity given that i am based in China

from the looks of it (how recently Unity announced pulling out the asset store) i am more concerned what will happen if they renegaded on the 2022

[vivid cedar]

Probably switch to the spinoff Chinese engine

[latent meadow]

Tuanjie Engine

[stiff dagger]

who the hell even uses that

[latent meadow]

China

[stiff dagger]

what about all the licensing

does a license in UnityCN work overseas

[lost garnet]

Is there any free 2d full screen shader for radial blur (which I will use for like zoom effect etc).

URP

[latent meadow]

the bottom of the email you received should say ~"if you have any further questions about this, please contact Unity Support" with a link

there does not appear to be any information in #📢┃announcements at this time

[jolly scroll]

Yeah I got that email too. The annoying part is the list they link to doesn’t show which of the removed assets you actually own...

So I made a small web tool to check your Asset Store library against the removal list! 🫡

guys help idk why my shader is making the grass material smooth

it should look like the first image but it's completely white

[sage basin]

if you put A into a Preview node is it white?

[sudden cliff]

yes

[sage basin]

Show the texture's importer settings

[sudden cliff]

like this?

[lost garnet]

No, click on the texture in the project window

[sage basin]

That's a material, not the texture. However, I can see the texture you have in the base map has transparency, so it should be fine. It's kinda unclear what your issue is though, and why alpha threshold has to do with "smooth"

and what the two grass screenshots mean

or how you created the "should look like" first image

[sudden cliff]

that was before i added the shader graph

[sudden cliff]

oh 😭 im using a prefab i think

[lost garnet]

Try multiplying the color with the alpha

[sudden cliff]

okay let me search that up

[sage basin]

What's your shader graph material look like then? Because you've only shown the graph

[sudden cliff]

this grass material?

[sage basin]

That's the original one

[sudden cliff]

ohhh like what it looks like after i add the graph

[lost garnet]

Your material is not of your shader type

[sudden cliff]

let me try this first

[lost garnet]

It won't have any effect until u set the correct shader

[sudden cliff]

the correct shader from the tutorial? it looks like this

[sage basin]

You have a shader and a material, the material needs to use the shader you made

[lost garnet]

@sudden cliff

[sudden cliff]

😭 thanks

[lost garnet]

Select yours shader from here

[sudden cliff]

okay it looks like this

[lost garnet]

Now try

[sage basin]

Set the texture and the appropriate threshold

[sudden cliff]

is this how you multiply the color and alpha

[sage basin]

you shouldn't do that though

[sudden cliff]

oh this worked

thank you 😭 ❤️

[lost garnet]

Yes, my bad.

[weak island]

unity did bad this time

will remove asset checking is bad

sad

[copper gust]

I don’t think it’s Unity’s choice

Doesn’t seem ideal for them

[gray bloom]

how do i change cursor when out of game view or in scene view ?

[remote summit]

hi, for me the solution was eliminating some AI packages unity had me included and that i was not using and they were running permanently calls in the background to an abandoned api and it was accumulating ram usage and making me crash

[ocean pumice]

that is called a gizmo in scene view. on scene view top right if you expand the width enough, there is a gizmo button to turn off 3D gizmos or entirely hide them

[cursive ermine]

thanks! it worked

[restive wolf]

Alright so level building and the tooling/workflows surrounding it my weakest points when it comes to game dev. I'm trying to make a game that's composed mostly of modular assets. It's block-like for the most part, non-organic. What tools/flows are standard for creating worlds with these assets?

[safe garden]

anyone here who worked with rigid body's or scripts, are you able to just copy something like this over to another object? guessing specific parameters need to be setup, you can't just copy and paste

[sly lake]

You can click the gearbox, then "copy component". Then you can copy a whole component, or just the values, over to another object.

[storm patio]

please don't ping random people for help, just ask the room

[potent topaz]

In the Unity project view can you not sort better - like by type and then name?!

It is recreating a FileView but with much less control!

[boreal river]

This is not the right place for it

read, don't just repeat the bot command

[flat breach]

sorry to disturb you man, but how'd u take a screenshot of the plan in unity? I'd like it to be uncompressed and 1920x1080

[sly lake]

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/ScriptReference/ScreenCapture.CaptureScreenshot.html

If you do it in the editor, in play mode, you can set the resolution at the top of the window.

[flat breach]

alright, thank you so much.

[flat breach]

hi, I've just seen in a tutorial that the guy can add sprites immediately into a 3d scene and now it seems like it doesn't exist anymore, what's the alternative?

[normal summit]

Does anyone know how to export asset bundles for older versions (2019.1) ? I've seen many tutorials but none of them worked for me

[storm patio]

make sure you're actually using sprites and not textures

[flat breach]

I am but I can't even add a sprite into the scene, 2d object thing isn't there anymore

should I just drag a sprite from project to the scene?

[storm patio]

is that not what you've been doing

[flat breach]

no, I've been trying to add a sprite using the gameobject panel but nvm this seems normal to me now

[storm patio]

what gameobject panel...?

do you mean the inspector

[flat breach]

idk the name but when u right click in the hierarchy

[latent meadow]

alr man

[storm patio]

what are you expecting to find there? those are some premade objects, you could use one of the shape options and replace the sprite i guess

[sly lake]

You don’t need that

You can drag the sprite directly into the scene

Or make an object with a SpriteRenderer compinent

[flat breach]

I was excepting to find the 2d Object thing but it's not there anymore; ur right

[flat breach]

ohh yea ty

[storm patio]

might come with the 2d feature

wouldn't show up if you're missing.. well, all the 2d resources

[flat breach]

yea real, code monkey used this in his 3d video and I didn't realize this

[crystal veldt]

does anybody here use Linux as their daily driver? if so, which distro? also, does Unity work well for you?

[normal ingot]

i need help with that

I can download unity editor

and this keep apearing

[crystal veldt]

it hangs on install or download?

[normal ingot]

there is a diffrence between install and download ?

[crystal veldt]

download happens first, then the hub trys to install it to your system

[storm patio]

well yeah but that's an issue with the download

[normal ingot]

idk man

[crystal veldt]

it says socket hung up...could be websocket, could be unix socket

[storm patio]

....ok, man.

[crystal veldt]

dig into the logs of the hub, try to pin down which socket actually messed up

[normal ingot]

sounds like aliens words

[storm patio]

this is a network issue. perhaps try a different network

also, did this happen immediately, or partway through downloading?

[normal ingot]

like vpn ?

[normal ingot]

immediately

[storm patio]

if you have access to one, sure. but a different wifi network may also work

[crystal veldt]

so websockets are used to download data from the web...so mostly a download issue. unix sockets, are used to communicate between local programs, so would be an install issue

[storm patio]

alright so it sounds like dns/isp/network blocked it then, so yeah try a different network

[normal ingot]

alright

I'm using vpn rn

lets see

[crystal veldt]

which distro are you using?

[storm patio]

it says right there that it happened from downloading, and i'm pretty sure "socket hang up" is a term used for network sockets.

[normal ingot]

windows

10*

[storm patio]

(also, internet socket != websocket.)

[crystal veldt]

oh haha, yeah it says download failed, i didnt see taht

also, i think im in the wrong channel. it seems there is a linux channel here. im actually actively trying to ditch win11

[normal ingot]

thanks guys it worked

[latent edge]

is there a way to make the resize tool only resize in 1 direction instead of using the rect tool

[storm patio]

use the handles that are only 1 direction

[latent meadow]

are you talking #🛠️┃probuilder ?

[fossil jetty]

Hello, I have a question:
What is the best way to promote my game (it's not realeased yet)?

[potent geyser]

---

1. Pay for marketing
2. Social media
3. Share in relevant communities

None of these will actually work if your game isn't appealing, it's not a guaranteed thing.

[fossil jetty]

Okey, thanks

[latent edge]

sorry i meant, when you resize it resizes both forward and backward, can i make it so it only resizes in 1 way instead of both ways

[storm patio]

ah, it expands from the pivot, so if you have the pivot at one end then it'll expand only the other end

[latent edge]

ahh okay thanks

[latent meadow]

Doesn't ProBuilder have tools to help? (i lack experience with it, but i thought i recalled that)

[latent edge]

well i asked instead of the rect transofmr tool originally

[gusty abyss]

I have this large mesh ~130k triangles and I'd like to split it up to make occlusion culling work for it. Is there a way to do this inside unity?

[latent meadow]

there may be third party tools that can add the ability, but Unity is not a modelling suite, so i'd say, no, not really..

[gusty abyss]

Thanks 👌

[twilit junco]

So unity will remove assets from chinese devs, I wonder what famous assets are made by them? Because if alot of devs use it, that's kinda sux.

[potent geyser]

They provided a list of affected assets, you can see them for yourself.

[twin grove]

Does somebody want to be friends?

[storm patio]

By writing lines of code that make the game do what you want it to do until you've eventually written them all

I hate my life so much dude, I wanted to start developing games with unity but I got an issue with the gpu in some apps and its crashing whenever I want to use some meshes like the robotplayer

Yeah that was one of them i ended up just updating everything instead of uninstalling it. Im glad it stopped it was driving me crazy lol

[worldly cave]

what gpu do you have?

[neon bobcat]

I dont even wanna say it, its old asf

[worldly cave]

well thats bound to cause issues regardless

theres not much you can do outside upgrading, game development can and is very hardware demanding

have you considered sticking with simple 2d projects rather than anything that uses 3d meshes

[warm bramble]

look at the bright side, you can make 2D games

some of the best games are made in 2D

[proven star]

what is that bradar

[tall hearth]

Assuming you are connected to the internet, try restarting the app if not that try the pc itself

[proven star]

oh I fixed it just open the installer in the unityhub-updater folder

[exotic turret]

Guys is there a way to open scripts? Idk why unity always ask me to confirm wich app to use. I want the script to open automatically

Anyone else getting a maintenance error when checking out from the asset store?

[rotund stone]

Hey guys, I got this warning on this unity version. Which version do you recommend that both doesn't have this warning and is just stable throughout?

[stuck flower]

Same version, later patch

[rotund stone]

the "read more" recommends 6000.3.5f2

[rotund stone]

you mean the f2?

[stuck flower]

Whatever the latest patch of 6000.2 is

[storm patio]

is just stable throughout?
stability is relative lol

[rotund stone]

unfortunately

[proper rivet]

does anyone know why i cant find this on my nodes?

[rotund stone]

yeah uh this issue seems deeper than I thought because literally EVERY single version past mine has that warning. What the hell?

[pearl oyster]

If "stable throughout" is important to you then 6.2 is the wrong choice altogether

[storm patio]

6.2 isn't an lts version so i guess it just never got the patch that fixed this bug

[rotund stone]

Would it be better to install the latest LTS version? The hub recommends 6000.3.10f1

[stuck flower]

Probably. Or just ignore it

It's just annoying, it's not gonna break anything

[pearl oyster]

Support for 6.2 ended as soon as 6.3 was released

[rotund stone]

I guess I'll try that one out

is there a reason to not use an LTS version btw?

like isn't it just better

[stuck flower]

Usually just because switching versions is tricky and can lead to problems

[near wigeon]

does your version match the version in the docs?

[proper rivet]

yes

oh nvm i found it

its under a diff tab

[jagged sage]

Physics boring
So i made rough concept art for my game idea (wich ill probably take 15 years to make)

Mutants are cool

[fair cove]

Depends a lot on what an editor window is doing, it may be running some background logic or responding to specific Unity events (such as import changes or object selections), this can happen while the window is not visible, in addition to constantly refreshing when it is visible - so generally, yes it does take resources to have a window exist even if your not actively using it, but if its "bad" probably depends more on your hardware limits and personal organization preferences - you can also test this on Windows, in Task Manager expand the task in "Detailed" mode and you can see how much resources each window is using, in addition to the engine itself

[storm sierra]

Is there any worries I should have about updating from unity 2022 to the latest version?

[near wigeon]

usually no.. depends what kind of packages you have though.. make a Git commit/upload and then switch

[sly lake]

If you use any custom shaders then, yeah, they’re guaranteed to break

The shader API isn’t stable, even between minor versions. But these are usually very easy fixes.

[vivid cedar]

Use version control then no worries ever

[tender thicket]

My ui elements broke when i did it

[storm sierra]

I had no idea, thank you

[storm sierra]

That can be a issue

[tender thicket]

Never heard of it happening to anyone else so u should be fine

[hard solar]

Hi, I need help with addings Ads to my game. For the past 2 weeks I've been trying to implement Ads Mediation to my game, but everytime I fix something, something new is broken. Now I'm stuck with that in my Plugins/Android folder there is no .aar files ( I asked chatgpt and he said without them my ads will not work even on test mode ), I wrote to support, asked Ai again, checked different forums but I can't find a solution so I thought maybe I could find help here. Does anyone know how to fix that?

[plain dagger]

Most modern plugins dont do this anymore, they use External Dependency manager and maven dependencies to handle this. It gets auto downloaded during a build.

Make sure you are on a recent unity version and are using modern versions of plugins such as LevelPlay or google admob

[hard solar]

I'm using Unity 6000.1.14f1 and the latest version of levelplay, but I'm still getting "Mediation: No fill" errors when I test my game on development builds. What could be the other reason then? I'm also 100% sure that I typed in all the ad units and placements IDs correctly

[plain dagger]

Is your device added as a test device?

You must do this or risk not always getting an ad or even having that device banned

[hard solar]

I set it so its a test mode on all devices

[plain dagger]

https://docs.unity.com/en-us/grow/levelplay/platform/get-started/integration-testing ?

You need to also make sure you followed the instructions for mediation adapter installation too

[hard solar]

Okay thanks I'll try it tommorow but is it possible that my ads are not working because I havent set up any test devices?

[hard solar]

Do I have to install the adapter manually? I've seen tutorials on YouTube and they only downloaded the Ads Mediation package from Unity and it worked fine for them

[plain dagger]

It may be. If you do this then you should always get a test ad and that helps confirm if you integrated the sdk correctly

Install level play via the package manager and use the manager menu

[near adder]

Hi, idk if this is an unity or blender related issue but in blender my model looks fine in unity it doesn't have the grass it should have. It's an grass model and I did convert the hair particles to a mesh and the texture doesn't apply in unity. How could I fix this?

[prisma needle]

quick question, in my unity cloud projects I have my old game. Is it possible to bring it to my computer from the cloud?

Should be totally possible. Assuming the whole project is indeed in the cloud.

I guess it is, but how do I do it?
