Addressables and LightMaps

Hi,

I'm building a game where each level has its own arena and I'm baking lights for that scene so I have the scene and another folder generated by the baking process with the lighting data.
I would like to use addressables to load that scene, the models in it and the lightmap dynamically from a remote server.
I managed to put the models in the scene inside a prefab and marked it as addressable and loaded it up when the scene is loaded but then I lose all the baked lights, it doesn't show.

So my question is how to load this dynamically. Do I mark the model prefab and baked lights files as addressables and then load and instantiate the prefab when the scene is loaded and then somehow apply the lightmaps?
Or
Do I need to mark the scene as addressable and this will include the model inside it and the baked lights and when I load the scene using addressable functions it will work?

 

You could try playing around with the shader stripping options (Edit => Project Settings => Graphics => Shader Stripping). That helped me resolve a similar issue with missing lightmaps.

 

So you say to try again option #1 with marking the model prefab as addressable and then play around with shader stripping options to try to get the baked lights to work?

 

There are two things here:

packing: creating a prefab that references all the models used in a scene and making this prefab addressable sounds very strange to me. When you mark a scene as addressable, its dependencies (including said models) will be implicitly added to the same group than the scene. I suggest marking as addressable: scenes and assets loaded from script (Addressable.LoadAsset).

lightmap: The Asset System and the default build pipeline do not work together very well. So one of them might strip a shader or lightmap that the other needs. Here the solution is currently to tell Unity to not strip anything.
