[EDITOR EXTENSION] Multiple Unity Editors, same project

Previously I've been using uLink from muchdifferent, but because of the lack of updates, I migrated to UNET.

One awesome editor extension they made is uEcho, which makes it possible to have multiple unity editors running the same project. This makes it possible to have one editor run as server, and two others as clients.

I have been using this since a couple of years back, and i see alot of people suggesting making a new build everytime you need to test something...

It has been in beta since 2013 and has never been officially supported, but I have never had any problems with it

Download:http://download.muchdifferent.com/versionfinder/list_all_versions.php?product=uecho

Getting started:

1. Dowload the assetpackage from the page provided above.
2. Install package
3. Click on uEcho -> Edit Clones.
   This will bring up the editor window, pin it where you want it
4. Click the plus-button to add a new clone
5. Right click on the newly added clone inside the uEcho window
   Open in new Editor
6. Profit

 

OHHH boy !!!!! I will test that :')

 

download link plesssssssssssss )))))))))))))

 

Sorry for reviving this thread, but is there an mirror link?

 

There may or may not be something within this project that you are interested in.

Thanks! Will look into it, although I got to ask, since I can't find no Readme or Documentation, this does not require Photon, right?

 

No, you don't need anything else out of that project. It just happens to have the asset in the project, as there are not many places to find it.

 

A real link:

Alright, thanks MostHated, will check it out

Btw, JuanJSAR, I tremble opening these, they may contain viruses and have so many ads.... also 53 kb? If possible, upload it to mediafire/dropbox/googledrive or anything. I sadly cannot verify or use them, since those sites have so many red flags

 

It is actually pretty small. I just zipped it to check. It is pretty much just a dll and a few text docs.

Wow, both of them, many thanks man!!! <3

 

Just a notification to anyone using this on Unity 2018.2 - The interface is completely busted on this version (bunch of nullReferenceExceptions), which led me to believe that uEcho no longer worked. It actually does -- you can still do Add New Clone, and this will still function as a clone of your original project. You'll just need to open it by opening the Unity exe, rather than through the uEcho interface.

 

Another update: It still work in 2018.3 but have network send error whenever it sync project that freeze editor 1-2 seconds.
Very annoying that make this uEcho unusable. So I suggest other people to try Symbolic link

Or FreeFileSync if you really dont mind double space for same project.

 

There's some news about this tool? or you guys know about a great similar tool to substitute uEcho?

I'm working on a Multiplayer project right now and i recently updated my project to 2018.3 and i cant use this tool anymore but i need something to test my game quickly. (I will test Symbolic Link and FreeFileSync, but if some of you have another suggestion please tell me)

i will be gratefull if some of you can help me.

 

@VinniHashirama
I would recommend this solution: https://support.unity3d.com/hc/en-u...stances-of-Unity-referencing-the-same-project

Its working for me in Unity 2018.3

 

@rxmarccall Thanks, symbolic links solution works well !

 

In theory "uEcho" are pure "Symbolic link" only with a user friendly interface.

 

I think you could look at how to update the "uEcho" through your DLL with "dnSpy"

 

uEcho is not working for 2019.2.
Any alternative asset?

 

This one work for me.

in 2019.3.14 it doesn't display "edit clones" window, but everything else works

Unity should add uEcho to default features immediately, or at least advertise it

I had developped a whole multiplayer game painfully building every time to test the game

That would cut the UE's one main competetive advantage by the way

 

Hi, does this perform well ? having multiple editor seem like it would multiply the editor overhaed by the same amount.

Live link and the new netcode seem like a much better way to handle the use case I can think of for that kind of feature.

 

H! does anyone have the link of uecho cuz the link provided above isn't working

 

I'm using https://github.com/VeriorPies/ParrelSync its awesome
