New ScriptableObject no longer working, what did I do? (Resolved 2018.1 no support for Mono)

I am very confused.
I've been using ScriptableObject on my current project flawlessly and happily however since I upgraded to 2018.1.1.f1 new scriptableObjects no longer work at all.

Symptom: I create a new C# script like so:

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. using System.Collections;
3. using System.Collections.Generic;
4. using UnityEngine;
5.  
6. [CreateAssetMenu]
7. public class People : ScriptableObject {
8.  
9.  
10.     public string npcName;
11.     public Sprite npcSprite;
12.  
13. }

(strange side note some variable types no longer autocomplete in that script in Mono...)

I can create the object from the menu no problem.
but when I try to initialize that SO from my main game controller it won't show up in autocomplete (using Mono) AND the field in the inspector doesn't show up even if I enter the line anyways like so:

 public People Someone;

(People is in Red and doesn't show in the inspector after saving)

And finally I get no errors in the console but since I can't initialize the SO I can't use it either...

thoughts?
any help appreciated.


PS: I'm noticing other strange things like GUI TextMesh fields that keep losing their assignment in inspector... I might uninstall everything and try to install again... confused though.

 

Pretty quick fix. As it turns out Version 2018.1 no longer supports MonoDevelop so some stuff stops working correctly.

I reinstalled 2017..4.4.f1 and everything works again.

 

You can use another IDE, if you'd like.. Visual studio and some others. Just adding this in case you wanted to switch to 2018 at some point.

 

True. although I've gotten so used to Mono and I'm really not a big fan of VS with all the forced MS account.
But apparently at some point I will have to switch.

I'll definitely wait until the next project though.

thank you.
