Comment on Unity Asset Server Browser by Matthew Wegner

@Russ: Mostly no, it behaves identically to external version control. The major benefit is integration (simpler for artists/designers/etc to use, versus other applications).

As far as I know there is only one advantage, which is that assets are stored both in their source form and their imported form. This makes things slightly faster, and also means you don’t need things like Maya to import .mb files and so forth.

Unity did charge an upgrade fee to the Asset Server Client license for 3.x, but so far there is zero information for any kind of roadmap.

Came across this post a year after it’s written, but was wondering if you could provide some feedback about Asset Server in general, if you don’t mind.

Does Asset Server do something that External Version Control doesn’t accomplish? I know that using and External Version Control system will expose the meta files, but does Asset Server do something besides handle meta files? Does it offer added support for merging the binary .unity files? It appears that every developer using Unity has run into a workflow problem where they can’t help but stomp another developer’s commits to a unity scene.

Just a few notes on my experience:
1. Spaces DID make a difference in the Bundle Name – as far as I could tell, it should match the “appName” of your Bundle ID (ie: com.rockonflash.com.ShellShockHD = Bundle Name would be “ShellShockHD”
2. I used Unity3D 3.2f4 to make the build. I still had to use the img2Icns tool to create my icons. I received an error about a 512×512 icon not being included. I had realized that I had overridden the icon selection in the IDE, but I would have assumed it would still generate the proper icons. When I viewed in Previewer, the Unity generated version had fewer icons than the one generated by img2icns.
3. This was odd to me, but Bundle Version String, short came back with an error from iTunes that it needed to be 3 numeric characters separated by a period (ie: 1.0.0). It originally had a full string about unity version in there, but changing it to 1.0.0 fixed it. So it wants just the versioning of your app.

Everything else went fine and it’s uploading as I type this Thanks for the help!

One nice tidbit of info on testing your package is that you can run this command line. It will verify that your app will install correctly when downloaded from the appStore:

sudo installer -store -pkg path-to-package -target /

Really, really cool. Not sure why I haven’t discovered this before now. Anyway, cool resource. I’d love to see it updated for Unity 3 as well, and would certainly be willing to donate to help it happen.

Apparantly you need a new build of Unity if you’re using 3.1

Thanks for this, I did not even think about releasing my game on the mac app store but you make it sound so easy I will actually do that.

Comment on Getting Tricky with Triggers by Mike Stramba

Mike Stramba — Mon, 27 Dec 2010 02:23:18 +0000

I’m a beginner with Unity.

I’m trying to add a “start-finish” line to the demo car-race game.

I’ve added a cylinder, and resized it to stretch across the road, then buried it, with just a bit exposed.

When the car crosses it, the trigger is firing twice for some reason.

Any ideas why?
