dll to source code

is it possible to remove a dll and place source code of this dll to a project? i have game objects in my project that uses a dll classes. when i
create an empty scene,
remove dll,
place source code of this dll to the project,
load scene

my game object's script references lost. i can select source coded classes but i loose info in the game object script.

how can i change to source code keeping serialized object data?

 

Does unity keep script references in different way for source code and external dll? Even namespace and class name is the same it cannot match codes

 

You might want to try the "Missing Scripts" script from the following blog post (also a very good read!):
http://unitygems.com/lateral1/

 

it could not set data of my script. i think it does not work for dll -> local script transfers.

i set files as text serialization from Project Settings/Editor. i edit scene file manually. it fixes problem but it is not easy to edit many missing scripts.

 

as i understand, unity generates a guid for each file. it generates it at the first time you import,create the file in your project. when you export and import packages files come with their guid. so the solution is to edit scene file. i find all references and replaced guid with the new one. and my project works now.

 

I have written a unity plugin to help fix this problem.It can switch your script between source code and dll without missing reference.

Hope it can help.
