Assets World Manager - Generic world management system

I will do a video on this - have just held off a little until the other assets have published their integrations - sort of pointless unless you can get everything you need.

 

Makes sense. Also (and probably obviously) having it added to the Gaia GX Extensions would be nice. Would be another good way to motivate the other publishers to integrate with the World Manager. Maybe have an option to integrate the WM, and another to also build some simple UI elements like a clock/calendar that others can reskin.

 

Yep agreed - I have started working on some sample UX in the demo controller - but have so much work on my plate - that this is one of those things that will have wait until I get the time.

It is also open source and not a paid asset - and I have no issues with other people helping out by contributing some of their own time if they want things to move a little faster - its surprising - but even as simple conceptually as it is - this thing has already chewed up a lot of my time

 

Thank you for the contributions you are doing to it. Open sourcing big ideas like this is awesome- and will ultimately result in thousands of better games/simulations/solutions in the future.

 

Hello!

The API is quite interesting. However I want to ask if there could be something that I'd require for my specific needs.

I've developed this nice Critias Foliage System based on my previous work. You can hand-paint foliage right into my system or extract it from an existing terrain and dump it in my system.

Most people seem to be interested in the performance gain part of the system and don't care about painting and only use the terrain extraction part. Extracting the data from the terrain all the time can be a little cumbersome and I was asked if there is any way to dump the data from a system like gaia/gena/world creator right into my system.

Someone told me to look here. However it seems to me that this API is not quite what I'd require. However I might be wrong? Maybe you plan to write any Gaia API integrated with this one and export some more information from that one? Or you have some internal data that might do what I need?

Thanks in advance for your time!

 

Hi, thanks for the contact. Lets talk offline

 

This looks like a great project!

 

Yeah - took a bit of time to put it together but its super useful.

And thanks to community feedback here its implementation now is much better than my original!

 

Hey Adam, I imported World Manager into an empty project in Unity 2017.3.0p1 and i get this:


Thing is, I don't see any errors so I don't know what the issue is.

Any ideas please?

 

On surface no. When I get a moment I will look at 2017.3 and see if I can replicate it.

 

Hey @AdamGoodrich

I own Enviro and am looking to use World API to control it with UI controls at runtime.

I'm currently just getting familiar with it using the sample demo, which I've opened in a new project (2017.3) and dropped Enviro into the scene. When I change the time and fog settings in the Controller I see the changes in the UI components but they do not seem to affect Enviro. Are there extra steps required?

Thanks.

 

@AdamGoodrich ,

How do I import World Manager API?

Also, do you know of any way I can introduce ground mist to my environment?

 

Hello,

you need to add the EnviroWorldAPIIntegration component to one of your gameobjects in your scene. (Component Menu - Enviro/WAPI Integration)

You have plenty of options what and how to sync the different values in that component then.

Kind Regards,
Hendrik

 

@Vondox Thank you.

 

Is this been resolved I get the same warning I am on unity 2018.2.0

 

This is a free asset that I put probably a month of time into... and as such it sits behind my other assets in terms of priority for changes.

If anyone in the community wants to suggest fixes or changes, then please feel free to contact me privately, and I will fast track the update back to the source base.

 

I looked at the issue and you can workaround it by reimporting "Assets/WorldAPI/Demo/DemoIntegration.cs". Right-click the DemoIntegration.cs script and choose "Reimport" from the context menu.

I guess, for some reason the WORLDAPI_PRESENT scripting define is not correctly set when upgrading Unity. I was able to reproduce this issue by just opening a fresh copy from github. Trying to drag&drop the DemoIntegration.cs file on a GameObject brought up the error "This file does not contain a script". After reimporting the script, everything seems to be fine.

2018.2 outputs a few of the following warnings, but that shouldn't cause WorldAPI to stop working and is probably a simple fix for Adam.

 

Is https://github.com/adamgoodrich/WorldManager the freshest, current place for this?

I notice it is not on the Asset Store.
