If you find any bugs or need any help please don't hesitate to notify me about it here or on discord (link above).​

 

There are still some free vouchers available if you are interested and willing to write an honest review. Just hit me up with a pm or write here!

 

just checked this out on the asset store wow looks fantastic, still any voucher codes left?

 

Thank you!

Sadly there are no vouchers left.

 

This is by far the best notes program, by the way, I would like to request a feature that enables us to export all the notes in a text file (Summary of all the notes) to serve as documentation and as a report for our superior. This would be awesome!

 

Thanks a lot!

An export feature sure sounds handy - do you have a suggestion on how one such exported file could look like?

Kind regards
Roy

 

Well, I'm not a fancy type of person, so you shouldn't count on me when it comes to the proper standard looks.

I would be super satisfied with something like this :

------------------------
*Bug*
-----------------------
(01/01/2020 02.45)
Allen : Glitch when jumping !

(01/01/2020 03.45)
Roy : Noted

(01/01/2020 04.45)
Roy : Done!

<Task Finished >

------------------------
*Idea*
------------------------
(02/01/2020 02.45)
Allen : How bout giving some eyepatch

(02/01/2020 03.45)
Roy : Not bad

(02/01/2020 04.45)
Roy : Done!

<Task Finished >

------------------------
*Bug*
-----------------------
(03/01/2020 02.45)
Allen : Another Glitch on Jumping

(03/01/2020 03.45)
Roy : Noted, sorry bout that

(03/01/2020 04.45)
Roy : Done!

<Task Finished >

 

Another idea would be an addition to the duration from the start of the notes until it resolved. This will tell the reader which part of the progress hinders their progress the most.
so instead of <Task Finished>, we could change to <Task Finished in 6 days, 17 hours, 45 minutes>.

if the dev who uses this asset could standardize their communication at the note, It will turn into a changelog.txt when they exported it.

 

Sounds good!

Just thinking about what would be visible in case of a reopened note, so one that was resolved, but now isn't so anymore. I think to keep track of that i would probably have to keep a history of changes in the notes, at least when it was resolved/unresolved.

I'll have to see how to implement that without to much overhead.

Thanks a lot for the suggestion!

 

Hey Roy,

I noticed a little bug about the GUID. It seems to interfere with the prefab, somehow game object inside my prefab keep generating a child object that named based on the GUID such as c594e4c4-5952-4077-8a50-269acd85f57d

The GUID child that was generated only contains transform, where the value is based on scene camera position stored in Notes Library.

I'm using Unity 2020.1.16f

 

Thanks for reporting the bug, and sorry you had to encounter one.
I'll take a look at it later today!

 

Thx Roy

 

I took a look at the issue now.

Whilst I can see the issue and know where the problem lies I will need some time to think about how to work around it.

For now this sadly is a limitation in how this assets works, as prefabs inside of the hierarchy of a scene wasn't something I took into consideration when making it.

I don't think I will be able to find time for this until next year, so I am happy to provide you with a refund if you request one if this is something that renders the asset useless for your workflow.

Kind regards,
Roy

 

is there any way to work out around it? like not to do a certain thing? to prevent it?
cuz I really like this asset. I could take the refund then in case there is no workaround.

It's such a shame though

 

How about this then:
I'll make time this weekend to try and find a solution for this. If I can't find one until sunday evening, I'll issue you a refund. I don't think I'll be able to thoroughly look at it before that due to my fulltime job.
Does that sound good for you?

 

awesome, FYI, I can live without the object or scene references if that is is the main cause of the bug.

what I love about this is :
1. Not Game Object Dependent
2. Auto-save during play mode
3. Ability to resolve the issue
4. Categorize the notes
5. persist through all of the scenes

 

If you don't care about the object references part of this asset, that should be easy to change. I will send you either an updated script before tomorrow (probably in the next 14 hours), or if it's not much will just tell you which lines of code to comment out/change. This will however then render the asset incapable of saving which object was selected for you, so it will purely act as a kind of taskboard/noteboard without any references on selection.
Is that what you'd like?

 

I just took a quick glimpse into it. Commenting out the

OnEnable

Method in

NotesEditor.cs

(Lines 358 to 361) would do that much for you. Just make sure to put your Visbility on Always and to not check the Save Selected Object checkbox (else something could be selected that you don't want or something could break - totally untested.)

@ch1ky3n - please tell me if it that's a satisfactory solution for you.

 

yes absolutely! btw final request, where is the default bool of Save selected and save scene camera checkbox ? i like to set it as false by default.

 

never mind, found it.
It should be fine now, I got what I need until you fixed the rest.
Awesome

 

Great to hear!
I'll look for a real solution for the problem probably on the weekend, if nothing comes in between.

 

Hello We just bought Your asset at its awesome but it seems like it ingerate into prefabs when adding note to prefab and add empty object to prefabs like "c594e4c4-5952-4077-8a50-269acd85f57d" etc. It is not to good cause it really could mess up the prefab. We are on unity 2018.4.30 Could You please fix that bug?

Asset is great but without been able to add prefab note it is huge limitation, Hope You will be able to fix it. In other case I would like to ask for refund. But overall hard to find another notes on asset store that dont need any component added to gameobjects Like Yours. So Hopefully YOu will be able to fix problme

 

Hi there,

I am currently in the process of investigating that issue and very likely have a usable solution in mind. As that however involves a good chunk to be changed it will take a few days for me to be able to have it ready (especially with christmas coming up).

It will take probably an additional 2-3 weeks for the update to be approved into the store, but I can sent out the package as soon as I have a fix, when you send me your ordernumber per direct message.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

 

Thanks I Will send You invoice number for a moment. Will be waiting for fix, cause system is really good and I bought it cause it dont mess with project additional components.

 

I fixed the issue and submitted the new version to the assetstore. I will send you the package shortly.

@ch1ky3n if you send me your invoice number per direct message, I can also send you the package, so you don't have to wait for the update on the store.

Changes:

• Fixed a problem with prefabs
• Made it possible to relocate the asset without problems

Sadly this update will break the references to your game objects in the scenes for your existing notes (As I changed the way they are referenced). You will still be able to see the notes when selecting "Always" for Visibility though. Sorry for the inconvenience.

 

Hello We noticed that there is problem with build with Your plugin:


Could You fix it?

Also I noticed that when We copied proejct to another PC there was problem again with adding new notes, probably because YOu keep some changes per user preferences not in project settings?

 

I just checked the version on the assetstore, because both of those things should have already been resolved.
Turns out the last update on the assetstore for some reason reuploaded an older, broken version.

I just pushed the newest version again, so it should be live in a few days. If you'd like the .unitypackage beforehand just send me a short pm as usual.

 

Thanks we will try that

 

But basically problem with copy past project to different pc also is fixed? cause it looked Like notes was kept somewhere but not inside project asset folder what probably could be problem here.

 

All data of the asset is in the

Assets\Kollmann Software\Shared\Resources\NotesLibrary.asset

file.
As long as that file is copied over too (to the right path) all asset data should be copied with it.

 

YEs everything in assets is copied, We just have problem then that on different PC saving notes
stopped to work. Will test with actual version

 

I Wonder what are these error

it happens when i try to write a note

 

What happens? I think your comment got cut off.

 

I'll take a look at it probably tomorrow.

 

How do you edit a created note?
