How to properly close/open a project

I'm just a beginner in unity, but i already can see, why some people are cursing you
So, my first problem is that unity cannot properly open/close projects :
a) there is no "close project" button, so one project is always opened,
b) this leads to #TR$#YR$YT pain in the ass, if you want to open another project,
c) because that leads to having both projects mix-f.u.c.k-ed opened up, and you cannot tell anymore, wth is going on, which file is from which project and so on.

And second problem is:
d) if something leads to crash, then it destroys all saves that i made, even if i pressed save project many times, after i open unity again, my project is at the very beginning...

So, my question would be : when unity will have a proper "close project" button, and when you will make it possible to have opened more than one project at a time ?

 

Use "save scene". No idea what "save project" actually does. Can't help with the rest.

 

Well, scene is just a 1 3d/2d space that you make, like a room or a house, and project is all source code that you do in unity, but whatever, new problem. Just deleted all messed up projects, and now i cent even create a new project, as that button is greyed out ..............................................

 

I can't help but think that there is something weird going on with your HDD. Are you trying to use Unity on a network drive? (which has some known issues) Is it possible your OS user account doesn't have write permissions on the disk you're using? Anything like that?

What changes exactly had you made to the project that were not saved? Did you create scripts? Import images or meshes? Or were you just creating objects in the scene? Most things you do outside the "Project" pane are actually part of the scene, and if you don't save the scene (rather than the project), then those changes wouldn't exist anywhere in the project folder yet.

 

I have no idea what this is supposed to mean.

 

What i mean is that unity noobie devs havent implemented "close project" thing/button, so one project is always opened. If you want to do some work on another game/project, you cannot just close current project and open another, your only choise is just to open another project, therefore previous opened project gets mixed up with your new opened project - files and other things, therefore it is called mix-f.u.c.k-ed up.

But i dont think that this wil be solved anytime soon, so lets just move on another problem, it might be not directly related to unprofessional team of unity, but still - very bad tutorials. From one side, they are not that bad, but from another - they dont give any information, they just raise more questions. Like, i.e. i watched beginners, advanced and professional tutorials, but i still have no clue about some baby things :
i want to make a 3d scene with few objects and put textures on it in a graphical way, not with scripts, so,
1)i know that there is coordinates in inspector, x,y,z, so you can set object's location, but:
1.1) i have an object - plain, cube, sphere, whatever - how do i get and how do i change its size without using my telepathy skills and cracking this unity?
2) how do i put a texture without stretching it on object ? no stretching means there must be something about repeating same texture.
3) If i will use scripts to make a graphical scene, how to get a visual of scene without pressing play button or running the scripts ???

 

Seriously? You're having trouble figuring out how to use the "Open Project" button and have the nerve to call the people who have been working on this IDE for a decade, "noobies"?

Until you approach the problem with even the tiniest ounce of humility on this, you simply are going to refuse to be helped, so I for one am not going to try. Hundreds of thousands of devs have figured out how "Open Project" works without issue. Perhaps the problem is you.

 

I've been using Unity since 1.something and have never once had this happen. So have perhaps a million or so other people. When you open one project, the other closes automatically. Sounds like you have bigger problems with your computer than Unity.

 

It doesnt close automatically, thats what im talking about, it doesnt even have "close project" button, which would be more logical. Believe me, my computer works really good, there is no problems with it.
And yes, when people manage to make huge things, but fails at making correct decisions about simple baby stuff, then i have no other word. btw, noob is perfectly good work, deal with it, its nothing like idiot or other words.

 

Yes, it's a perfectly useful word, with a definition and a meaning, which you have plainly ignored. Noob describes a level of experience. How long has Unity Tech been doing this? They're not noobs. Honestly, you'd have been better off with "idiot"; since "noob" is just by definition the wrong word, at least "idiot" would have put your "wrong"ness in the realm of opinion rather than fact.

 

Ok, so basically i have to make all my 3d objects with other program and then import them ? Because scale just scales objects, it doesnt say what actual size of object is, i.e., plane is 10x10.

 

Correct. Unity is a game engine, not a modeling program. There are, however, plug-ins that allow you some model creation inside Unity. If you are having trouble scaling your objects to a uniform height, throw a box or capsule into the scene as a reference and scale everything appropriately. A box is 1 unit and a capsule is 2 units. A unity unit is default to meters I think.

 

Ok, another thing would be about unity's navigation system. I know how to create an obstacle, but it reserves space in circle around my object-obstacle, so if i will make a long wall-obstacle, then my whole map will become an obstacle, this is kind of ridiculous and it becomes useless... is there any other way to specify what is the form of obstacle, or to specify the bounds of obstacle ? Or this is the only bad way to do it and i just have to make a wall from hundreds of cubes, so that obstacle bounds wouldnt take the whole map ?
