Localize Texture Empty Table Reference

Using Unity 2019.3.0f4 and Localization package Preview 0.5.1. The raw image with the attached Localize Texture component as shown here in the quick start guide is different for me.



Not sure this is how the Localization Texture is supposed to be? Anyone else using Localize Texture component that can help?

When I play the scene this is the result.

Spoiler: Error Console

I'm having the same issue, any help?

 

Filed a bug report here's the case #: 1216072_oitfaa89liv958j9

 

Hi,

I am trying to use the package and I run in the same issue: I follow the quickstart, and when I create a table and add some entries, once I quit and reopen the project it saves my entries but I does not serialize the reference to each localized objects. I tried it on empty projects across different version of the 2019.3 releases with the same issue. Any idea where this bug could come from?

 

Hey, Here's a link to the Issue Tracker.
https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/is...e-localize-texture-component-in-the-inspector

 

Thanks Karl and satchell! Do you have an ETA on the date of the next release? We have some use for it in one of our project and I'm still pondering whether I should wait for the fix or go for an in-house solution we would cook.

Cheers!

 

Awesome! Looks like the component is working in the inspector now and am able to set the fields as shown in the Quick Start.
There is another issue I'll look into regarding the Asset Tables not retaining the textures for some reason. I think I'd seen another thread on the topic so I'll keep messing around...

Thanks Karl!

 

I still have the same issue, is there something I'm missing to save the asset tables? It retains the link to the textures as long as my project is open. Whenever I close/reopen the project it loses the references to the textures (but not the entries, they are serialized). Sometime when I fiddle with the metadata/comments part of the textures get serialized (but not all of them?). It's a bit hard to open a ticket since it's hard to reproduce the rare cases where it succeeds. Any idea where that might come from?

 

No they are not, they are reference to texture assets located the project's asset folder. You mean that it won't serialize unless said asset is already referenced in the scene?
What I understood: I create a table, I link my different localized textures to an entry in the table. I then use the localize feature to a RawImage component, link to the right table and then entry. It just works as long as I don't close/reopen the project, that's when I loose my references to the textures :/.

 

2019.3.2f1 & 0.6.1
The values from the Addressables Groups window filled and stayed filled on my most recent attempt, not always the case. Hard to say there's an issue for the inconsistent results or my use and gaining experience in Localization with Addressables. The Asset Tables still lose reference when Unity is closed and reopened.

The Debug Inspector fields don't change from their initial settings from inserting to the Asset Tables to Unity restart.

Hope this helps. I want to make sure I'm not pointing in the wrong direction so bare with me...

 

Okay here you go 1222843

 

I'll try to get back to you soon too, I had to switch to another project.

 

There is no failure I think or at least an error. The issue quit simply is when I reopen Unity the tables are empty. That's the best explanation I have.

I will keep an eye on the SERIALIZEDPROPERTY issue most likely the case.

But again there is no error in the console to describe the issue just add the images, save anything and everything, close unity, reopen and the fields are empty w/ no errors.

Thanks

 

Received an email regarding this issue.

Your bug Asset Tables lose Texture Reference after reopening the project has been confirmed and transferred to the appropriate internal development team at Unity.

We have also transferred it to our new internal bug tracking system which means that the previous link to the Fogbugz case will no longer be updated.

Instead you can check the status of your report at the following URL (after signing up and creating your password):

Any news?

 

I had this issue too in my first test project, then it mysteriously vanished after importing my stuff in another project.
I actually suspect the Odin Serializer to solve that.
But it broke the "LocalizedSprite" serialization, wich can be fixed using the Odin attribute [DrawWithUnity].

 

Same problem in 2019.3.7f1 version

 

Still on 2019.3.9f1

 

Hello,

I try to had some metadata to test JeanSmall post.
If you add table metadata, the texture don't disappear when you close/reopen project :

Other Metadata such as Shared and Entry did nothing. And you lose the texture.

But when I click on play mode, null reference exception appear :

And the texture is null :

But if I change the language the texture is localized...

I don't know if this post will help to find the problem.

Best,
Alexis

 

Alright, so when the version 0.7.0 will be released?

 

Unity 2019.3.13f, Localization 0.6.1
I'm not sure, but i think my error is slightly different: I'm loosing my Audio assets without closing and opening my project, they just disapear sometimes while scripting and runnng the project (4 times now within 3 hours of scripting).
The Keys on the left side stay. The first 5 Lines of them were created days ago, the rest was added today (all manually, not with a script nor import). The first 5 entries stay always, all of the rest just disapears randomly. My texts in another table stay. (Lost them only once in the beginning).
I assigned only 2 of those to an object, the rest is assigned per script at runtime.


here the filled table, looks like this is when the rest is gone.


2 Errors showing up when running in play mode: (always, even when the table is filled).

I hope this issue get fixed, too.

 

Hi,
sounds great, I started thinking about doing the whole localization in a separate DB.
But next week sounds good, I'll wail for that release.

 

Hi Karl, do you have any update about release date? I'm also having same issue and only using text translations. Also wondering the same as other users about waiting or making a home made solution to this. Regards

 

Hi Karl,
thank you, i do understand the need of a quality system, I had to do with this on my job, too... lots of more work and documentation, but at the end it's worth the time invested into that.

I updated today to V 0.7.1. All my tables from 0.6 disapeard in the Localization Tab. I created my String tables anew with other tablenames and filled about 60 Texts in 3 language (copy Paste from Text file). I've redone the Asset table with audio files. I got the Strings to work (with all those changes made in the nre release). Asset (Audio in my case) works only in part. Seems that the entries do not get lost anymore, so that is an improvment. But : Only 4 of 15 audio do work. (the 1st four entries). In version 6.x, only the first 5 stayed, the rest got lost. May be there is still something wrong with the assignment? The entries are shown, but the link to the Assets is gone? Those 4 working are the ones with the same key as those wich stayed in the v 0.6, see my previous posts.

Here are also 2 errors when starting the game:


Here is the error when the audio is not being found:
Exception encountered in operation UnityEngine.ResourceManagement.ResourceManager+CompletedOperation`1[UnityEngine.AudioClip], result='', status='Failed': Could not load asset Mom_WhyDontYouGo_2_3
UnityEngine.Localization.LocalizedReference:set_TableEntryReference(TableEntryReference)

<PlaySoundFile>d__6:MoveNext() (at Assets/__Scripts/Scene1Actions.cs:109)
UnityEngine.SetupCoroutine:InvokeMoveNext(IEnumerator, IntPtr)






I guess it has to do with this: there is still the "Localization" folder, and my old Tables are in there. The new tables are in the other 2 Folders. It seems as if there are still calls to the old Localization folder tables?

If I remove the old Localization folder completly, I get lots of errors like those ones:
No locale could be selected. Please check available locales and startup selector.
UnityEngine.Localization.Settings.LocalizationSettings:get_SelectedLocale()

Beside this, I saw there are are 2 .asset files (with an additional 1) for de and it, but not for en. Why? All 3 languages have at least 1 Audio file assigned.


So i guess i have to clean up the old tables. but how?

regards,
Martin

 

Hi, just read that part for the 3rd time:

With the last sentence it is meant to select this in the "Project", not in the "Edit Table Collection", I guess?
Was i supposed to press "Add table to collection"? (Not "Create Collection")


(Now it doesn't work anymore, as the Keys exists now in the newly created table.) Quite a mess.

Now I found the solution to answer to my last question above, but don't understand why the 2 tables were created in first place:

 

As I'm getting now +200 errors, I'm going to take a clean back up tomorrow and try to do like described, now that i know what to do... I'll let you know.

 

Ok, I startet with a clean backup and now it works as described, old Tables remain, objects stay.
Sorry for the mess, I didn't duplicate well what to do with the old tables... beginner mistakes
Glad it works now, will get going with that and see if it is fitting to my project when there is more content coming.

 

Hi Karl, I've updated to v0.71 with no problems. I pushed this to production as game has few users (around 5k). the main error "java.lang.Exception: ArgumentException : Empty Table Reference. Must contain a Guid or Table Name" has not returned.

A new error appeared, that's all the information showed in crashlytics

Before exporting AAB and APK I went to addressables group and did a new build. So everything should be updated and exported.
Any ideas?
Thanks
