I really liked this editor. It comes with source?

If you put it in the Asset Madness for 10usd it's an insta-buy!

 

Hi Paulo,

HOTools comes without source, since I greatly prefer to work with assemblies (both because they're more manageable, and because package updates are way easier - I do that with HOTween too, which is free and open-source on Google Code). Anyway, I collected all the re-usable code I created and are adding it to a growing open-source library on Google Code: HOUnityLibs. And if you find any bug I'll quickly squash them (a thing I assume I proved with my HOTween support ).

About the Asset Madness, I have no idea about how to participate in it, since it's rather obscure, but I'd want to. That said, since you mentioned it, I just lowered the price to 10$. Just have to wait one or two days for the Unity team to accept the change

EDIT: for anyone who bought HOTools at 15$, I will offer "compensation" More on the post I'll write when Unity will accept the new price.

 

Thats why I want your package so much! HoUnityLibs lacks documentation but I can feel it's power! I really want to use it in my editor scripts! Thats why I want the source of HoTools, to see how you used HoUnityLibs.

Anyway, just bought for 15 bucks

 

Thanks a lot Paulo! I PMed you about HOUnityLibs etc.

 

@Izitmee

I have just installed HOTools and when I try to drag anything to favourites Unity crashes and I have to force quit!

Any idea what's wrong?
