Materials unlinked from GameObject in packed mode

I used Addressables.Instantiate<GameObect>("go") and I am able to instantiate it in play mode as "packed mode". However the material turns to pink. (Fast and virtual mode does not turns to pink)

When I click (it does not ping the material in my project, indicating that it is from a packed mode), replace it with an equivalent material in the project it now looks correct.

In the Addressables panel, there is only the GameObject addressed as "go" and no any other assets that the GameObject used. It seems to be able to understand and dragged textures and scripts to the Addressables except these unlinked materials. Is there any other procedure I should do to enable embeded materials in the game object?



In build output preview I also find the material inside

 

I think problem not in material but in shader reference.

 

I tried logging the loaded shader inside the packed material (A built-in UI/Default material)

Debug.Log($"{image.material.shader.name}");
Debug.Log($"{image.material.shader.isSupported}");
Debug.Log($"{image.material.shader.renderQueue}");

UI/Default
False
2000

But when I replace it mid-play mode with the project's copy of the same material

UI/Default
True
3000

Seems like it is not packing the correct variant?

 

It looks like, I think we must wait someone from Unity stuff for clear explanation

P.S. And you traitor, threw our warm ECS branch

 

I understand now, it works in the phone.

Because I am on Android build, the packed material's shader was converted to Android-compatible (OpenGLES), it is now not render properly in the macOS editor (Metal?) anymore. (If this is the case then this "packed mode in editor" button is not useful...)

(Love to get my project to bleeding-edge everything!)

 

Hi there. A bit of off-topic. Don't you know is there any way to load assets by Hash128 or GUID instead of just a name?

 

Hi, Hash128 of a GUID already works with

LoadAsset(key)

. Because the ResourceLocationMap (one of your available Addressables.ResourceLocator) derive 2 dictionary entries from one row of item dragged into Addressables panel : by string and by Hash128.

Code (CSharp):

1.             //var asyncOp = Addressables.LoadAsset<SpriteAtlas>("ATL");
2.             var asyncOp = Addressables.LoadAsset<SpriteAtlas>(Hash128.Parse("a75e8e5a8966f40dd98c262581be0122"));
3.             asyncOp.Completed += ops =>
4.             {
5.                 SpriteAtlas atlas = ops.Result;
6.                 sprites = new Sprite[atlas.spriteCount];
7.                 atlas.GetSprites(sprites);
8.                 //Debug.Log($"Done {atlas.spriteCount}");
9.             };

 

You are my hero. Thank you so much.
Last question, is there any way to prevent Bundles compilation every time on standalone build, even though there is no changes?

 

I think I don't know about the build process yet, but in v0.4.0 there is a relevant entry in the change log that might be worth looking for. Maybe this "buildscript" is responsible for it?

 

Hi there.

Could you help me? How did can I get addressable asset hash to send it over the network?

Edit:

Should check Addressables.ResourceLocators.
Thank you.

 

Yeah, to test in editor the asset bundles used must be for the platform the Editor is running on, as the data used is *exactly* what is in the bundle, without any of the Editor magic that normally occurs. It's annoying, we have the same issue, but it is what it is. I am not sure what they could do about that to be honest.
