[RELEASED] Hydrogen Framework

Hey Everyone,

While it's been out for a while, I thought I would hold off on posting anything on here till it had some substance to it

We've been using Unity for quite some time at dotBunny and have developed an incredible backlog of stuff that might be useful to other developers. So, we are releasing, what we call the Hydrogen Framework, which will contain lots of useful functionality ... all for FREE. We will continue to add on to this framework as time progresses and as we see what people need/want.

What's in the latest v1.1.0:

· Object Pools
· TestFlight / FlightPath Support (Mobile Only)
· Helper Functions

Asset Store | Vimeo Channel

I guess this might be a bit disruptive to all those paid providers of TestFlight integrations, or Object Pooling solutions. Although, they probably have more time invested in creating fancy editors for their stuff then we do.

There will be a small update shortly moving the Menu's around to be properly aligned with Unity's native options, as well as a little better logic with how installation is done of TestFlight.

 

· Web Pools (MailChimp API Example)
· Dynamic Input Manager
· Serialization (JSON/INI)
· Class Library Documentation

 

I'm not sure this is one of those things that will get lots of replies because its not some big WOWCOOL feature thing and the functionality is so scattered, but this is a very nice thing to do and i can imagine a lot of it will be useful eventually, so i'll bookmark it, get it on my assets list in the store and probably use it when the need comes up and i remember its in my list, cheers!

 

So very true It's one of those things where we are just providing things as they come up and are found useful to people. It is getting noticed by a few people and that makes us happy

 

Some new additions ...

· Audio Stack
· In-Game Debug Console
· Threaded/ThreadPool Jobs
· Multi Threaded Mesh Combiner

 

got the occasion of messing around with the package.

As said, it's a lot of scatterred things, but the testflight implementation alone is a great asset, as we postponed testflight use for months due to lack of time to fiddle with it, so, thanks

I tried to install the documentation on Visual studio, but didn't seem to work.
I copied the xml file where indicated on your website, but maybe I need to set something on visual studio as well?

 

Hmm ... to be honest ... I haven't checked the placement for Visual Studio in years. I'll look into it

 

Hey,
I was wondering if there is (i think there is not) possibility to use PlayScheduled using Hydrogens AudioStack.
For my application I need perfect audio timing so it would be awsome to have it there.

 

well, if you don't see I'll try to look into it.

The console debugger in game working on mobile is already worth picking your package

 

Did you ever find out where the Unity.xml was supposed to go, as placing it in the location specified on the web page, didn't add docs to VS 2012. Would love to make use of this feature.

 

I'll see about adding something, but I have a feeling 'developments in the future' will remove that need for ya.

Hmm that I haven't had any luck sorry I haven't used windows in a while... and google is not being useful currently.

 

Hi everybody, I copied the Unity.xml in the correct folder but I can't see documentation. Anybody has a solution? Thanks

 

Rickyalbert, I have had ZERO luck so far, and I really wish it was working, would be amazing to have the docs inline ;(...

 

Has anyone googled for their version where to put it? Also, UnityVS i believe puts it in the right position (so we could find out from their placement).

If I had a VM with VS installed I would be helpful, but I sort of gave up on windows :/

 

UnityVS doesn't seem to put anything anywhere in regards to the documentation, I tried to type in the same example that is shown on your website, and what the inline docs are supposed to look like. It didn't work, all I got was the built in function signature telling me what were the expected types. I am using UnityVS for VS2012.
