can you show it it s probably your

[light scroll]

here ya go

[violet cypress]

yeah...

all of them are using the custom shaders

[light scroll]

here it is when in standard, btw

[light scroll]

garddamn it

[violet cypress]

huh wait no way

that one isn't using a custom shader

what the conversion tool does, is it looks up the materials that use Standard or other built in shaders and maps them to a URP equivalent

[light scroll]

i clicked on the standard option a while ago, as you can see the albedo is selected yet the material is displayed as the wretched checkerboard

[ancient hamlet]

The converter is not supposed to swap them to InternalErrorShaders, even when no match to convert to is found

[violet cypress]

it just leaves it as InternalErrorShader if it was already InternalErrorShader

which should only happen with the materials that use a custom BiRP shader

[light scroll]

this happened earlier when clicking that option, in between the two times i kicked the shader files out but i'll add them back in and try again, just in case.

yep, same thing

[ancient hamlet]

I might've missed a detail here, but I'm a bit confused why the pink checker texture is there
Supposedly Unity doesn't use checker patterns as error textures

[light scroll]

could be the version i'm using?

i'm porting it to a game that requires a specific version and shit

it's happened before with character models and stuff

(the checkerboard)

[violet cypress]

i'm on 2021.3.5f1, it should be completely pink, maybe only for textured Standard materials does it show the checkerboard?

[ancient hamlet]

Is it the game's custom editor or something like that?

[light scroll]

nah, the one that avrdude just mentioned

[violet cypress]

or wait, it might be postprocessing?

[light scroll]

there's a package or two added but nothing that'd change it to do that

just tools for converting it into a usable mod file

[violet cypress]

but then no, since postprocessing wouldn't work, i've had some of my renderer features spill out on to material previews

[light scroll]

yeah, standard is pink checkerboard, when URP render conversion blah is added it's pure pink

[violet cypress]

because this one's from a BiRP project which doesn't use scriptablerenderpass

[violet cypress]

well... it shouldn't since the material is using the Standard shader which the conversion tool supports mapping to a Lit shader

[ancient hamlet]

The checkerboard is really bizarre, not just because there shouldn't be one like that, but also because there seems to be nothing wrong with the shader, assuming you hadn't upgraded to URP yet

2021.3. editor and URP are brand new, does the game really support mods made with them?

[light scroll]

the game released a few months ago

so basically, i'm trying to port levels from slender the arrival into a vr game called bonelab with built in mod support. it needs this specific version (probably because this is what it was tested with)

[ancient hamlet]

Makes sense
All bets are kind of off when dealing with modding environments or with extracted content, though

[light scroll]

i extracted the data from the level files with uTinyRipper, and taken the folder it's extracted, plopped it into unity and placed the scene file into the hierarchy. I haven't changed anything in the files or mucked about with it at all

[light scroll]

yer, i did see a few people on youtube do stuff the exact way i did with success, so i've got no idea what's going on. probably doesn't help i downloaded unity a week ago

are there any screenshots i can send? anything that can help? I'm absolutely baffled

i've gone and set the chandelier to unlit, any clues?!!

okay, set it to unlit/texture and selected the texture. the texture has transparent parts so it looks like shit, but it's a viewable texture.

[ancient hamlet]

It should "just work" as discussed so far, can't think of what else could be wrong
I would try to do the pipeline conversion again starting from the beginning, perhaps with with the oldest unity version that supports URP (or maybe LWRP) in case the original assets are too old to be compatible

2013 was a long time ago

[light scroll]

i'll just decapitate myself instead man i'm too 3 dimensionally illiterate for this shit

[ancient hamlet]

Upgrading old content rarely works when jumping over a lot of versions, but spacing it out gradually with multiple versions often does the job
A lot of work though

[light scroll]

yeaaah

[ancient hamlet]

Or recreate the materials manually I guess

[light scroll]

if only there was a "fix" button that just magically popped everything into place

[light scroll]

would rather die, there are 367 materials and this is one of the smaller maps

thanks for helping though

[ancient hamlet]

Modding is complicated because you're dealing with the game's quirks on top of Unity's
Resuscitating ancient content is a challenge by itself due to everything that subtly breaks with each passing year
Being a modder is an added difficulty, considering the modders' stereotypical tendency to just jump into it and skip studying the basics of the tools

[light scroll]

hey! ...2014 isn't ancient 😔

yeah man, i honestly have never had any desire to work with 3d, ever. all i wanna do is "play game in other game" but then there's so much stuff i have to learn for something i'll never use again. it's truly a shame

godspeed to every masochist 3d technology enthusiast

[ancient hamlet]

These are complex tools for complicated tasks
I wish there was an easy way

3D is only a small part of the big painful picture 😏

[light scroll]

lol

i wonder if there are any big 3d fans who think the same of painting and stuff

[ancient hamlet]

And 2D is honestly not much simpler when you get into sorting groups, overdraw optimizations, pixel perfect rendering and lights

[light scroll]

yeah i guess so

i'll try to work the scene in a unity version from late 2014

then i'll ...fuck me idk convert it into a single file somehow and then open it in a later unity

i'll cross the rickety rotten broken falling apart bridge when i get there. i hope.

[ancient hamlet]

Making games is easier than making mods 😉

[light scroll]

possibly

my brain is shutting down

it's 2:34am and i've used all my brainpower trying to work something i have so little grasp on

[ancient hamlet]

It's pointless to do cerebral work when tired

[light scroll]

yerp

i'm gonna murder my past self (the dev) for making my game so hard to work with

apparently the story writers complained about how hard the 'studio' was to work with too, lol

just had a genius idea, gonna try and see if a much earlier version of the games level works better

[ancient hamlet]

For that reason usually modding problems are obtuse and specific to a game (which nobody here is likely to know, and solving them doesn't produce any beneficial knowledge for us, consider also that discussing ripped content is against community conduct so you might be shown the door at some point)

[light scroll]

wait...

fixed!

[ancient hamlet]

and please do learn Unity's basics if you plan on using it

[light scroll]

hmm

dude @ancient hamlet i think i figured it out

script

it may need a script

the terrain is gone which is definitely related to script, at least

i'm going to bed as well so i may figure it out in the morning

[ancient hamlet]

Perhaps
Certainly what you need is sleep, though!

[light scroll]

when i figured out the script thing, my cortisol kicked in (awake hormone)

lol

but yeah i'm definitely going to sleep. i start work again in a week or two, this cannot be good for me lmfao

if i get it all sorted, want me to tell you?

[ancient hamlet]

You can drop another message here if you wish ^^

[light scroll]

Hey man! so, i opened a the built in unity pipeline version thing and loaded in a scene. pink and black textures are 100% solved, but the terrain is missing. any idea?

[ancient hamlet]

You might be able to get the height and splatmaps out and imported into a new terrain
Not sure though, the terrain is a bit of a closed-off system

[light scroll]

ah right. that's something for tomorrow, well at least i got something big sorted out!

[light scroll]

im a fool. just found the terrain file, which now i'm just trying to match up with the assets. now the only thing i have to do is figure out how to port it into the universal render pipeline, or just export it as one big ol huge object

[ancient hamlet]

URP has its own terrain shader, otherwise there's no difference

[light scroll]

nice!

[light scroll]

@ancient hamlet Hey! Got it all working almost perfect, only thing left is to make the terrain material tile. Any Idea how off the top of your head? If not, I'll just look it up :)

[ancient hamlet]

Iirc the terrain component has the material built in, it just requires you to assign the relevant texture maps

[light scroll]

I have the texture n stuff, when assigned it just stretches over the entire terrain. How can i make it tile, instead? sorry if you understood the question perfectly and i just dont understand the answer, lol. I promise, 100 percent this is the final question.

there are no other issues even slightly important enough to be considered, this is it

[ancient hamlet]

If your terrain is not using the terrain component but just a mesh, then you'll probably want to make a material and set the "tile" higher so tiles more
