5.5 released

I don't know when they started incorporating VS but actually you can use any code editor, even Notepad ++. I use MonoDeveop but I'm ready to give a try at VS Code as long as it doesn't install dozen and dozen of stuff in my computer (as Visual Studio Community 2015 does).

Any examples, comparative screen captures available?

 

From what I can tell VS Code was pretty light (for a M$ product), however, you should always be using a virtual machine to sandbox new software with and looking at what it changes anyhow. (or maybe I'm just paranoid)

 

hello! what happen now with stable release? 5.3 still stable and will get more fix or 5.4 will be new stable release or both will be supported? thank you!!

 

Well, just the fact that you can attach the VS debugger to the Unity process without it blowing up is a start! Seriously, my experience of debugging under MonoDevelop pretty much ended up resorting to nothing more than Debug.Logging everything....

 

Looks like this is stuff for specialists. MonoDevelop works fine for me; I'm not sure what a debugger is and if I need it.

Add to this that you cannot choose the language (the display language, not the coding language) in VS Code and you must install the extensions you need; I'll stick to MonoDevelop.

 

Debuggers are where game programmers spend most of their life. Personally, I build my debugging tools INTO my game, so I can see most of everything from the inspector. Rarely do I need to step through actual code. A testament to Unity.

 

Have you never wanted to step through a script one line at a time as your game runs to investigate a bug in your logic? Or pausing a method to inspect the value of every variable when a calculation seems wrong? What about checking if a certain condition is met in a hard-to-reach block of code?
That's what the debugger is for... you really should learn to use it and it will massively increase your productivity (or do you seriously write perfect code first time every time?)

 

Perfect code doesn't exist and will never exist. Okay for the debugger; how do I install one?

 

It's already there:

Thanks. I tried debugging with MonoDevelop and the editor didn't crash.

 

Extremely urgent.. Please HELP...

Cannot build WebGL in 5.5..

I can't build my game for WebGL on my laptop or my desktop. I keep getting this error and Il2cpp.exe stops working. Exception: C:\Program Files\Unity 5.5.0b11\Editor\Data\il2cpp/build/il2cpp.exe did not run properly!

Everything was perfect before updating to 5.5.0 from 5.4.2

 

Beta11? maybe you should try final version

 

Ah okay, so you still need the plugin and all that crap? I figured "Support for Visual Studio Code on macOS and Windows" meant that you guys were now fully integrating it. Oh well.

 

I still dont see support for Vertex Colors on mesh verts working with the Standard Shader.

A guy did make a version of the standard shader with it.
But every time you have a new release you break it again and its months before he fixes it.

https://forum.unity3d.com/threads/standard-shader-with-vertex-colors.316529/page-4#post-2788255

Seriously its not that hard, he even gave you a head start.

I tried fixing the last time it broke but I just get a stream of error messages.
He fixed it, but now you broke it again.

defaxer wont be around forever.

Yes, I know, you’re going to ignore this because new features that nobody uses are more important.

I liked the section in the blog "Better Tools for Artists"
My artists would just like to put color on the screen with the standard shader, please.

 

I've been using a standard shader with vertex coloring since 5.1 without issues. I just added a couple of lines to the default shader.

 

No urgent, but I'm experiencing some issues with assettimestamps, like this user did: https://forum.unity3d.com/threads/a...h-but-has-assettimestamp.432691/#post-2805886

The GUIDs are exactly those three and it also happens even when I delete the Library folder and or reimport all assets again. This happens either with upgraded projects or newly created ones when there is at least one asset. If no assets are present, the problem disappears.

 

But I dont know what lines to change.
Like I mentioned I did try once but it didnt work out.

Can you share what you did?

 

Add the color variable to the input structure:

Then you can use IN.color[0], IN.color[1], IN.color[2] to access the RGB values in the surface method.
You could also convert it by writing

This will allow you to use the typical "cc.rgb" syntax.

EDIT: Nevermind, seems Unity was just acting up when I tested, you can just write IN.color.rgb as usual.

 

Thanks.
I'm going to copy this over to the other thread, maybe it will help someone else.

Edit: OK, I edited the other post with your edit

 

I have a similar webgl build error too... any idea?

Not fixed in Unity 5.5.0f3

 

wow... bloated piece of crap? Visual Studio is considered the best IDE made, ever, period. But just use whatever you want to, nobody is "making us download and install" anything. You can work with textedit, mono develop or anything you feel is not bloated crap.

 

hello please help me
i subscribe to unity3d plus and i used neteller master card as a methode of paying
but my town stop neteller and now i can't charge my account
so please show me how to make a bank transfer

 

Guys, I'm getting this TLS Allocator as soon as I try to simulate any particle system.

EDIT: It got fixed by creating a new project.

 

Can not build for Android. Devise is Samsung s7. using everything default (not using il2cpp).
Error Log:

 

It seems that the issue is because of the Facebook SDK.. We created empty project with other external libraries and no errors, but the one with facebook sdk is failing..

Are you using Facebook SDK as well?

 

Black screen on android with 5.5.0f3

already resolved in beta but I have it in release. https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/is...rs-about-missing-temp-files-appear-in-console

Unity3d console "Trying to add file "Temp/StagingArea/Data/sharedassets0.assets.resS" which does not exist on disk."

 

Hey! This is quite strange, not sure exactly what triggers it, it's in some Prefab code. It doesn't look like a definite particle system issue, but the particle system is the only thing that uses that type.

Would you be able to send in a bug report with a repo project for us? That way we can figure out what's causing this error.

 

This is being fixed right now by the team, so hang tight!

 

They are both part of the same fix and should've gone to all relevant versions, so I think you may have found an edge case. Can you submit a bug report + repo project for us so the team can have a look?

 

Make it into 5.5patch1?

 

Hey! Please contact Support so they can help you out

 

Can't say for certain at the moment, unfortunately, but will keep following up with the team next week.

 

Case number 857193

Issue: Unity 5.5.0 F3 is giving error while trying to create build for WebGL in an empty project with just latest FB SDK in it..

Please look into it on priority as I'm sure there are many games using FB SDK..

The bug report contains a sample project from which you can recreate the issue..

 

how to contact support

 

So guys, why did you just remove the line renderer and trail renderer sample project?!
If you have an alternative fine but don't just remove something without a replacement....

 

I think you have a different issue if you are seeing a black screen on game start. Could you send in a bug report with a repo project so we can investigate?

 

Write to support(at)unity3d.com and explain your situation.

 

I have just removed all my plugins to test if fb sdk is the root cause... turns out it is.....

 

Hello, I sent a bug report (with test project) yesterday.

 

Porting any project from previous versions results in timestamps and assets maps getting out of sync.
Seems to happen in any project I've ported from the HoloLens Technical Preview Editors and seems to always involves the same 3 guids:

Code (CSharp):

1. Asset with GUID 67e9dad5654047ebbe623cce9dbf7b38 has empty path but has assettimestamp???
2. Asset with GUID 52a206b72a8f4f749c28d8b18b42dd19 has empty path but has assettimestamp???
3. Asset with GUID f48df919adea4fa095a7407e773e5aa4 has empty path but has assettimestamp???

None of these projects I'm getting this warning in shares assets nor code.
I've already tried deleting the Library, Temp folders, and all project .meta files but still returns.

All 3 GUIDs seem to point to

Code (CSharp):

1. C:/Program Files/Unity/Editor/Data/PlaybackEngines/MetroSupport/Managed/UAP/UnityEngine.Networking.dll

https://fogbugz.unity3d.com/default.asp?857276_11uj3ccvpt3pibh0

 

Ok, great! What is the report nr?

 

857052

 

"Aperture Cutscene Editor" and any .NET4.x (dll version) assets no longer works. It's a bug or correct reality ?

 

thank you!! )

 

The principle is still the same: do not install a patch if you haven't experienced the bug(s) they fix? What must we do if a patch fixes a bug we experienced and other bugs we didn't?

 

For as long as I can remember, I've been installing EVERY patch that comes out. It's never done me harm so far.
