NG Tools - Edit your build from Unity Editor!

Is there like a "getting started" guide or something? I can't seem to figure out how to implement anything NG-remote-like in my projects.

 

The documentation should be a good start:
https://bitbucket.org/Mikilo/neguen-tools/wiki/Home#markdown-header-13-ng-remote-scene

Or even the demo scene in NG Tools Free/Pro.

Or ask any question here or on my Discord or through support at ngtools dot tech.

 

NG Spotlight, ready to ship !

Will be part of NG Tools !

 

Hi Mikilo, NGTools are still rocking in 2018.2.2, but NGFav is kinda broken, please look:

 

Oh, if I'm not wrong, this has been fix in my version already.

I'll check it again and send you a version!

Thanks for the feedback as always!

 

NGFav seems to have cured itself on its own when I upgraded to 2018.2.3... However, NGHub Dock fails to display when starting up Unity 2018.2.3.

 

Already 2018.2.3... Didn't notice this one coming.

I write it down.

 

You were right, the bug was still there. (Very strange, I was sure I had it and fixed it few months ago)
Now it's fixed.

Just sent you the latest version.

 

Thank you, Michael!

2018.2.3 seems to have broken things though: NGHub Dock doesn't show after startup, and NG FullScreen bindings are erratic, for instance I can't switch back from a fullscreen window to normal view...

 

I started NG Hub Dock in both 2018.2.0 & 2018.2.3 and both seemed to work.

By not showing up after startup, is it a 100% case?

I will investigate NG Fullscreen Bindings tonight.

 

On my rig, NGHub doesn't show up at all now, not just as a dock, but even if I call it from the menu... :/
If it works for you, it must be in conflict with another asset on my rig.

 

Oh no... I know this bug. It's a Unity bug.

Sometime, it happens, not only with my windows, but I think with any plugin window, Unity has them existing in its registry, but they are dead inside.
Even when I use my debug tools to clean them, Unity fails to close them.

You can try 2 things:
1/ Hold Ctrl then open through Window/NG Tools/NG Hub, then turn it into dock mode.
(The previous window will still be existing and dead by the way)

2/ You must load a layout.
This one completely wipes out every windows and will now provide you a clean base.

 

Cool. Your 2nd workaround is my 'classic' remedy for these issues, I've been doing that for 1+ year. Still seems to be the best solution then.

 

Just as a reminder when opening any window :

- Holding Control will force the window to create a new one.

- Holding Shift will force the window to switch from a dockable window or utility window. (Depending on the window)

 

OK is there anything I can do to make NG Fullscreen shortcuts work again?
It seems to be totally broken on 2018.2.3, and there are no errors on console.

 

To be honest, I got no fix for this one. You brought me this issue few times, through many Unity versions.

The only "equivalent" I know is Shift + Space, but I know, it's not exactly what you are looking for.


I will give it another try tonight. See what might have change in 2018.2.3, deep down there.

 

@Mikilo Hi, I need your help.
I only installed 'NG Console Free' and 'NG Game Console Pro' on the 2018.2.4f1 version.
However, an error occurred in the example of the 'NG Game Console Pro' and I couldn't learn about your asset.

"ArgumentException: Failed SupportTextureFormat; format is not a valid TextureFormat"
"UnityEngine.SystemInfo.SupportsTextureFormat (TextureFormat format) (at C:/buildslave/unity/build/Runtime/Export/SystemInfo.bindings.cs:384)"
​

If I ignored this and went ahead, I was generating a lot of errors. I attach the errors with a screenshot. This is to request for help because i was inaccessible the script.

In addition, I do not intend to use NG Tools server yet. What do i do when i don't use it?

P.S. I am not an English speaker. I used a translator. I am sorry my poor English.

 

Hi Cosmoraph!

Please contact me at "support@ngtools.tech".
Also tell me which language do you speak, maybe I can speak it

Send me all the logs, so I can help you more.

Source code are given on demand, but only for NG Tools Pro.


If you do not want to use the server, don't do anything, it is all fine.

 

Hi Mikilo, I hope you're around.

Something really broke in 2018.2.11, I mean my paid NG license is deleted everytime I quit Unity, and NG Settings seem to self-destruct:


Failed to unload 'Assets/NGSettings.asset'
UnityEditor.AssetDatabase:CreateAsset(Object, String)
NGToolsEditor.HQ:CreateNGSettings(String)
NGToolsEditor.Preferences:‭‍‍‏‏‎‬‪‍‎‌‪‌‮‭‎‎‌‏‎‭‪‮‮()
NGToolsEditor.Preferences:‍‬‏‌‫‎‫‬‌‫‏‭‏‮‭‮()
UnityEngine.GUIUtility ProcessEvent(Int32, IntPtr)

 

Woah, first time I see this error.

Have you done something before?

The stacktrace is stating that I am trying to create a new asset, but Unity is failing somehow.

 

Got it, I think the new Substance version has broken things... Substance 2.1 is a very buggy asset: deleting it makes NGTools recover.

https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/?stay#!/content/110555

 

Ok, thank you for the intel, I will investigate this WE, hopefully Substance is free

 

Howdy Mikilo!
NGConsole seems to misbehave on Unity 2018.3.1, please investigate if you find the time.

 

On it on it!

 

This is what I meant. It works, it just looks kinda chaotic.

 

Thank you for your feedback and yes, the bug has been fixed already!
I did that just yesterday without knowing you were impacted.

The release is close. If want you a preversion, contact me I'll send it.

 

Hi, I have this error now, new to me:

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

Strange, I am sure I already fixed this one already. Maybe your version does not contain the fix.

I'll send you one.

 

hello! I'm using NG Missing Script Recovery with 2018.3.6f1

Hi!

Oh, let me investigate in few minutes...

 

I just tried a very simple case using Unity 2018.3.6f1 and it worked.

Can you provide me a project or give me more clues?

 

Thanks for your reply!

I'm trying to move C# classes from dll to source code.
1, Delete the plugin dlls
2, Copy all the C# code from plugin's project to unity project
3, Compiled
3, Run Missing Script Recovery

 

Hi Mikilo, I'm trying to rearrange items in NGFav using the usual Arrange icon to the left (which is really useful in a long Fav list). But I'm not allowed to do it in Unity 2018.3.6... Is there a reason why? Thanks.

 

Hum... let me download the version, I come back to you soon.

 

It is working fine in a brand new project in Unity 2018.3.6.
I added 4 selections, nothing is acting weird.

Do you have more clues?

 

Then it's a local conflict with some assets I have. Thanks for looking into it.

 

I know there is a bug with drag & drop in general.

I don't know if this bug exists in later versions, but sometime, dragging does not work at all if it was not "initialize first".

To force initialization, I do drag a GameObject from Hierarchy and then all other dragging spots will work as expected.

 

Hi, Mikilo,
Is NG Tool still being actively developed? I just tried NG Tool free version on 2018.3.10f1 and quite a many tools are not working properly and it looks like NG Tool hasn't been updated for a while.

I tried NG Nav Selection, (the window is empty at all time), NG Asset Finder ( it cannot find Scene Game object)

And btw, I think it will help the sale much more if you provide source code for the Pro version. Many, including me, are hesitant to buy something without the source code because many assets are poorly maintained and we can run into a wall without the source code. Will you make source code available for Pro?

Thanks.

 

Hi chrisk,

Yes is is still actively developed.
I don't support Unity >2017 with the current released version (1.1.90).
Send me an email at "support at ngtools dot tech" and I will send you the latest version (1.1.90z).

Those tools should work, at least they work on my side. Maybe you need the latest.

Source code is a big issue. Maybe we can talk about it in private.

 

Amazing update on the store (2 april), thanks for it!

 

...However, I'm spammed with this error:
'NGHotkeys' does not contain a definition for 'SubMenuItemPath'.

Also, the Fullscreen Bindings window now crashes.

 

Oh, let me investigate that!

 

Can you delete the hotkeys file?

You should find it at Assets/Plugins/NGTools/Editor if I'm not wrong
It is an auto-generated .cs file.

Or if you don't find it here, look at NG Fullscreen Bindings, there might be another .cs file.

I don't remember exactly because in the new version, I completely got rid of them.


If you want a clean install, delete NGTools and reimport the latest package.


(There will be a new update soon, I did a huge optimization pass)

 

Hey, deleting the hotkeys file seems to have done it. Merci!

 

Do you still have crashes?

 

I needed to delete another script from the Fullscreen Bindings folder, and now it seems to be solved....

 

Revisiting how an improved Inspector might work...

 

Mikilo, I'd like to ask if it's safe to upgrade to Unity 2019.1 while using the latest NGTools pro? Or should we wait for an update?

 

I did covered Unity 2019.1, I might say... yes! XD


(Edit: Replied in less than a minute, I'm sharpening my senses... )

 

I will soon submit a version containing a lot of optimizations.

But above all, a new tool, something that looks "awesome"
