NG Tools - Edit your build from Unity Editor!

Hi, Mikilo, hope things are going great.

The new inspector looks very interesting. I often spend lot's of time scrolling up and down, and I thought it would be good if compoments are tabified, kind of like this.

You can click on it to quickly turn on/off the compoments you want to see and double clicking will go directly to the component.
Of course, this is optional in addition to what you are doing. ^^
Cheers!

 

Hi Mikilo, the 2 seat license limit is wreaking havoc in my work life. I have no longer access to the 2nd laptop I activated the 2nd NGTools license on. I need to activate it on a 3rd work rig.
How do I deactivate the license on a laptop I no longer have access to? Thanks.

 

Hey Gregorik,

In the Preferences, go to Licenses.
Press the "Seats" button.

And then "Revoke" from here.

If you still have an issue, email me.

 

Oops sorry Chrisk, I forgot your message!

I already implemented a kind of "pinned Component".

Toggling Component is not worth it if you can go to any Component in 1-click.
I didn't not hard test my prototype, but the little I played with, it seems promising!

 

OK I did. It says No Invoice Activated. However, both seats are taken.

 

Bug fixed, thank you for your feedback as always!

 

Thank you back, it works now!

 

Trying to get the demo Remote Scene to work on OSX with Unity 2019.1.1f1 but no luck. As soon as I click the "Connect" button this shows up:

Oh! Which .NET are you running on?

Unfortunately I don't own a Mac, I can't test on it.
Send me a message at 'support at ngtools dot tech'.
I will investigate.

@Mikilo:
Hi, thanks for your very good assets.
I bought Asset Finder Pro and actived my license on 2 PC. What if i want to revoke all licenses, without to access any of that computer? Its limit is very uncomfortable for me. :'(

Some features request of Asset Finder Pro:
- Create "Re Cache" button, instead of Clear then On/Off Cache.
- Make button "Clear" clear all of my recent search, i feel bad when i need to click multiple time to clear my recent search.
- Make 1 button do 1 job "Find And Replace" instead of Search then Replace.
- Find multiple object by 1 time.

 

Sorry for the late reply guys, I am back and ready to fix!

@Gregorik I am on it.
In case I send you a version, can you tell me your current Unity version?

@dohaiha930
I provide a way to easily revoke seats.


Click on "Seats", then this window will appear:


Now you know how to revoke any seat, from anywhere.


For all the other requests, give me 1 more day and I will reply to you.

 

@Mikilo, version is 2019.2.3, thanks.

 

1/ I don't understand why you need to On/Off cache.
The cache is more or less suppose to accelerate the lookup time. Toggling it does not make any effect.

2/ I will add a button to clear everything in one-click.

3/ I can add it.
But there are scenarios where "find & replace" won't work.

4/ This feature is debatable.
Do you have something specific in mind?
Looking for many distinct assets in one shot? (e.g. a texture, a shader, a C# file)
Or looking for all the sub-assets contained in one asset? (e.g. a texture and its sprite)

 

1/ I don't mean on/off cache, what i mean is when my project have some change like add/remove files/objects , it's not automatic recache files, so i need to recache it manual by hand like Off then On button Cache for recache files. So it'll easier if have 1 button or context menu to recache all files.

4/ I'm using Search multiple object when:
- I'm reskin my projects, so i need to find out what textures need to be remove, or unuse. I can simple move all textures/objects i need to remove to search box, then searching, if it's not use nowhere, i can remove it without worry.
- I'm changing multiple prefabs reference by another one prefab.

Thank you!

 

1/ I think you are looking for the button "Clear" cache below?

This button clears the cache file, so next time you do a lookup, it will analyze again the full project.

Also, you are saying that if you add/remove an asset, I don't recache, but actually, I do.
I automatically handle project's changes. (based on latest writing time of your files)
So it means, it is a bug, can you provide me your Unity version and your platform (Mac, Window, Linux)?

4/ Hum... I see, you are looking for searching different assets in one time.
In the scenario you want to replace all of the above by one asset, there can be a mismatch type problem.
Are you aware and okay with that?

For example looking for a Texture2D & a Sprite, then replacing them with a Texture2D.
This case is not possible. I can implement a popup to warn of course and prevent it.

 

1/ My Unity version is 2018.2.21f.

2/ I just want to list all of objects found, then i can remove, replace them. Yeah, you can make replace box just ignore different file type.

Thanks!

 

@dohaiha930 Your buttons have been implemented.

Unfortuantely, your bug & request will take more time, I will be unavailable for several days.

Contact me via "support at ngtools dot tech" to receive your modified package.

 

Thank you!

 

Hi there! I am considering purchasing this plugin, it looks incredible. The only thing stopping me from doing it already is that I don't know if it will allow me to hot-reload shaders in a running device.

Does this plugin allow to modify shader code in the editor and then send it to the device while it's running?

Thanks!

 

Hi aurelioprovedo, right now right now, the plugins can not hot reload shaders.
I didnt 'know it was possible.
But now that I know, let me investigate how hard is it to implement this feature.

 

From the look of it, it seems to be easily doable.
So I will implement it.

 

Hi aurelioprovedo, unfortunately Unity dropped support of runtime-compiled shader after 2017.4.
Therefore I can not implement it.

 

Hi Mikilo, I have problems with NG Hotkeys: whatever I set, it doesn't stick, and I get this looping exception:

 

Hi Gregorik, What Unity version are you using?

 

The latest official one, 2019.2.14.

 

Investigating... I will keep you in touch!

 

Also, is there a way to switch off some components of NG Tools Pro (e.g. Hub or Shader Finder) if I only want to import Fav and Console in a new project? Or do I need to buy NG Fav Pro to do it? Thanks.

 

No no, just delete the folders and you are good to go.
As long as NG Core is present, all the others tools are independant.

https://twitter.com/_Mikilo_/status/1204867074511822848

 

I don't get that bit... where do you enter a trial key.. also don't use twitter oh well

 

Few steps to follow:
1) Import NG Tools Free in your Unity project
https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/utilities/ng-tools-free-80093
2) Go to Edit > Prerences > NG Tools > Licenses
3) At the bottom, write the key (or license) "2281507515", then add it.
4) Check it.
5) Validate it.

 

oh cool..is that something likely to work again or break with a pc format/ project change.. permanent or not really unless you buy it and have an invoice?

 

It is suppose to work no matter what.
The settings are saved outside the project regarding your Company Name & Product Name, but you can choose to save it in an asset inside your project.

Switching for Free to Pro or Pro to Free will just unlock/lock the features on the fly.

 

Hi, while the new version seems great, TypeLoadException is back with it unfortunately, and NGFav in particular self-destructs.

Hi Gregorik, give me your Unity version, I'll check that rightaway!

By self-destruct, do you mean it breaks the tool to the point it is unusable?

 

2019.3f6. The exception comes when I try to put anything on NGFav. Yes, it's currently unusable.
Thanks.

 

On it.

 

I haven't been able to reproduce it.

But I implemented a fallback, and sent the package to you on Discord.

 

Hi Mikilo,
I can't active my Asset Finder with my license, it always fail to request. I sent you license to inbox, please check!
Thanks!

 

NG Missing Script Recovery now recovers Prefab, ScriptableObject, GameObject in scenes.
It also detect broken scenes in project.

Will be part of the next update of NG Tools!

 

I cant use anything, getting error:

Contact me at "support at ngtools dot tech".
I will send you the proper package.
It seems the Asset Store is sending the wrong version.

 

So any substantial update on TypeLoad etc errors on 2019.3?
This remains the only actively developed editor extension (including Peek, uContext etc) that fails to work well on 2019.3, and I don't know why.
