    Hey,
    I want to make tracking versions of my game easier by appending the cs used at build time to the version number
    For example if my current build version is 1.1.0, and my current cs number is 1234, then the final build version will be 1.1.0.1234

    Is this possible?
    Thanks.

    Hey Carlos,
    Thanks for the response. This isn't exactly what I was going for.
    What I want to do is to be able to change the build version (the one used in the Player Settings window) and append to it the current CS version.

    My game displays its current build version in the main menu, so it would be very useful for use to track the exact CS used in a build in a glance.
    Thanks again!

    From the Plastic SCM point of view, you can easily get the changeset id. You can check the id in the branch explorer view or via "cm find changeset".

    Can you let me know how are you defining the build version? I guess this is out of the Plastic SCM plugin scope but some settings in the editor.

    Regards,
    Carlos.

    I'm doing something similar to what's shown in this video (skip to 4:44)


    What I want to achieve is that, instead of displaying [version number] - [current date], it would display [version number] - [current cs number].

    It may well be something out of the plugin scope, so apologies if that is the case and I posted in the wrong forum

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    You can use CmdRunner to run Plastic SCM operations via the command line: https://docs.plasticscm.com/cmdrunner/plastic-scm-version-control-cmdrunner-guide#Introduction
    CmdRunner is an automation layer built on top of the command line. It's built on .NET using C#

    If you run the following command in the root of your workspace, you can get the list of changesets and use the latest one:
    Code (Boo):
    1. cm find changeset --format={id}
    In general, via "cm find", you can query your repository: changesets, branches... and use this query output in your [version number] variable.
    https://docs.plasticscm.com/cmfind/plastic-scm-version-control-query-system-guide#Changesets

    Regards,
    Carlos.
