[eager steeple]

Yes

Hello

[rugged jay]

Unity External Tools

thats part of the steps

[eager steeple]

Say no more

[rugged jay]

screenshot it when open

[eager steeple]

Before 2019.2 I used to configure it the old way

[rugged jay]

the old way is RIP

[eager steeple]

This set up is unfamiliar to me

[rugged jay]

aside from .NET sdk install its pretty straight forward

[eager steeple]

Eh but I got used to it

.NET should be easy as well but this one is a little fucked up

Give it a sec

[rugged jay]

well hopefully you installed it in the correct/default folder it asked

[eager steeple]

Scanning it, nothing looks odd to me

[rugged jay]

yup you still missing the Package part

[eager steeple]

Elaborate

Haven't done this in a while

[rugged jay]

did you pullup the link I sent

!vscode

[thick iris]

Visual Studio Code guide

If your IDE is not underlining errors in red or autocompleting code,
please configure it using the link below:

https://on.unity.com/vscode

[rugged jay]

go to SetUp Unity

[eager steeple]

woah woah

What

Why?

[rugged jay]

dw about that rn

[eager steeple]

I don't want to port my project dude

I have 2021 isntalled

But it's on the 2019 version

my project

[rugged jay]

well you have to check then if you have the Visual Studio Editor package that goes up to 2.0.20 at least

not Visual Studio Code Editor

[eager steeple]

SERIOUSLY outdated

[rugged jay]

thas Code Editor

you remove that one

Visual Studio Editor is diff

[eager steeple]

Done

[rugged jay]

which version

[eager steeple]

I'm using vsc

[rugged jay]

I know this dude

but the instructions are very clear which one you need

[eager steeple]

visual studio code

I'm using code

that's what vsc stands for

[rugged jay]

I'm not inept , I know that

[eager steeple]

Yes

[rugged jay]

I configured this a thousand times

pay attention

[eager steeple]

Got it

What do I do now?

[rugged jay]

Literally

read the instructions lol

[eager steeple]

I don't have VS in my registry

That's odd

[rugged jay]

hmm show the whole package manager window

[rugged jay]

You're in Unity Registry

[eager steeple]

Yes?

[rugged jay]

its probably already InProject

select that

[eager steeple]

Nope

Not there

It's why I went to the registry to get it

Very odd

WAIT

I KNOW THE ISSUE

UGH

I don't know how to fix it

[rugged jay]

wat

[eager steeple]

When I installed 2019.4 I forgot to tick the Microsoft VS editor

[rugged jay]

that would not affect the packages

[eager steeple]

How so?

[rugged jay]

im trying to see if 2019 even had that package

[eager steeple]

All my other unity versions have it

[rugged jay]

because it would be in the registry

[eager steeple]

Oh yeah good point

Never encountered this before

[rugged jay]

is there a reason you cant just use 2021

[eager steeple]

I can risk porting my editor

I'll make a backup

[rugged jay]

just make a backup

[eager steeple]

Nothing to lose

[rugged jay]

arent you using Version Control of sort like Git?

[eager steeple]

Yes

I think

Git is essential

Alright

Porting to 2021

The project is like 2 GB

Shouldn't take long

[rugged jay]

alr

[eager steeple]

You know how unity is

[rugged jay]

yeah loading times is awful

[eager steeple]

Once my dumbass ported 2017 to 2022 without a backup

[rugged jay]

😬

I did that beofore I knew git too

[eager steeple]

Why tho

It's 2 GB and it's taking like 10 minutes

[rugged jay]

no idea

[eager steeple]

All done

Nothing iss wrong

[rugged jay]

ok good

now do you see the VS package this time

[eager steeple]

Give me a second

Wait I have to do something

Nothing unity related

Give me 10 minutes

Okay just a few minutes left

Just making sure you're still in touch

Yo @rugged jay you there?

What do I do after installing VS Editor?

[rugged jay]

yer

[eager steeple]

Yea shit you're alive

[rugged jay]

is it at least version 2.0.20

[eager steeple]

Yes

Woo I got an error I've never seen before

I think it's unrelated to .NET

Wait it's gone

What now?

[rugged jay]

did you remove the VSCode package

[eager steeple]

Indeed

[rugged jay]

ok

show external tools again

[eager steeple]

Shi gone

[rugged jay]

ok now in dropdown select Visual Studio Code

you should see a version number

[eager steeple]

Yup

What now?

[rugged jay]

Regen Project files

[eager steeple]

Already did

[rugged jay]

alr open a script through unity

[eager steeple]

No errors

Perfect

But intellisense doesn't seem to work

Not yet anyway

[rugged jay]

try open it a couple of times

[eager steeple]

Ah shit

[rugged jay]

check Output window

[eager steeple]

No no I got it

[rugged jay]

is working ?

[eager steeple]

I opened it in the wrong profile

OH COME ON

[rugged jay]

it kinda makes sense if it didnt show up for the terminal command

regen project files a couple of times

[eager steeple]

Dude

The issue is this fucking extension

That's the only issue

We did everything right

How hard is it to install SDK

I'll kms

I have no SDKs installed apparently

Somehow

Idk from what path is it pulling the SDKs

But I installed SDK multiple times

[rugged jay]

what happens if you click show errors

[rugged jay]

yeah this should show the Sdks

[eager steeple]

This

[eager steeple]

It shows nothing

[rugged jay]

which location u installed it

[eager steeple]

I don't know man

I really don't

[rugged jay]

lol it literally asks you no?

during install

[eager steeple]

How am I supposed to know the path when the installer doesn't even specify from what location it pulled it out of its ass

[eager steeple]

Nope

I'll uninstall

[rugged jay]

can you show me which exact installer you used

[eager steeple]

Give me a sec

[rugged jay]

alr

try installing .NET SDK 7 as well

although it should work with 8 :\

[eager steeple]

Where does it tell you the path

I can probably chnage it

[rugged jay]

guess the default should be ProgramFiles

[eager steeple]

What the fuck

This is after installing 8

If I have the sdks installed, why isn't dotnet --list-sdks showing anything

[rugged jay]

You restarted pc right?

make sure its in the enviroment variables

[eager steeple]

Where'd you access that?

[rugged jay]

https://hamidmosalla.com/2021/03/13/unable-to-locate-the-net-sdk-the-reasons/

[rugged jay]

System > About window, click the Advanced system settings link below the Device specifications section.
In the System Properties window, click the Advanced tab,if not already selected.
Click the Environment Variables button near the bottom-right of the Advanced tab.

[rugged jay]

doubt this would work but read a thread from pic I sent, click MoveUp and see if putting it above the x86 version will do anything

for some reason I only have this

[eager steeple]

give it a sec

WOOO

OH MY GOD

IT WORKS

FUCKING FINALLY

HAHAHAHA

LET'S FUCKING GOOO

THANK YOU MAN

[rugged jay]

Sweet!

🫡

[eager steeple]

This took me 4 hours btw

I can't thank you enough

[rugged jay]

no probs

it can be tricky

Visaul Studio is better 😛

plugs in right away

although I believe this was ur PC being weird with the SDK path

[eager steeple]

Now I have both configured

My VS is already set up

The reason I don't use it is well...

Speaks for itself

[eager steeple]

Clearly yeah

Last part was gibberish to me

But hey it works so I don't care

[rugged jay]

as long as its working 🙂

[eager steeple]

Yeah

VS is fine it's just like

Really slow for me

I can code on it fine but debugging is a pain in the ass

[rugged jay]

yeah 4GB is pretty small even to run Windows

let alone Unity

godspeed

[eager steeple]

4GB runs indie games well tbh

And TF2

Somehow

[rugged jay]

TF2 is amazing

that shit can run on fridge too

[eager steeple]

For AAA games I just play on my console

[eager steeple]

For real

[eager steeple]

The original doom has been basically a meme where everyone runs it on literally anything imagineable

4GB can barely run an OS now but 4KB took people to the moon 💀

Anyways, thank you man

I'm gonna go sleep

Idk where you live but it's 12:30 AM here

[rugged jay]

im in east coast US

no problem

tty

[eager steeple]

Sweet!
