@halogenx
For UnityDevelop we just parsed the Unity Documentation and created the implicit classes from that information. You could also use Mono’s reflection to get all of the UnityEngine class information, though that doesn’t come with the nice function comments.

regarding step 3, where did you get access to the classes for Unity 2.6?

I got used to this issue. All you have to do is get used to use Unity just to quick read your scripts, while use UD for opening scripts and editing.

I just started playing with Unity and got recommended this UnityDevelop, which seems a great tool.

I am having a problem with UnityDevelop showing “what to do next”, like when I type “Vector2(” in UniSciTE, it says “Vector2(float x, float y)”, but this is not happening in UD.

Besides this, it’s working perfectly on Windows.

Any tips?

This is great.. the only problem is that if the UnityDevleop editor is already open and I double-click a text file in the Unity project, I get an error message dialog: “Error while opening the server”.
If I click the message dialog away, the UnityDevelop editor will open already. Is there anyway to enforce UnityDevelop to only open a single instance of the editor? (Is there a setting for this).

Ok i got it working OMMMMMMMM ffff GOODD tanks guys!
You need two thing to get this working
.Net runtime framework, 1.1 and 2.0.
Extract UnityDevelop into PROGRAM FILES so so your desktop shortcuts points to:
“C:\Program Files\UnityDevelop\UnityDevelop.exe”

Hey Scott, install .net runtime 1.1,2.0 with hotfixes.

I’ve found a way to unzip the file in Windows without worrying about the pesky 0kb files for anyone interested. Using 7zip I open the zip file and deleted the _MACOSX folder and the .DS_Store file (in the Unity Develop folder) After that I could unzip it fine without any errors.

Thanks for this btw Flashbang! Very useful.
