stupid_chris Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I believe he has after a few days of work yes. Importing is done with AssetBundles. Think the issues arise because mods are external dlls and assets are usually internal to KSP, but dont quote me on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I"ve got an AssetBundle exported, but can't seem to get it loaded into KSP. It just keeps erroring saying it can't be found: AssetLoader: Cannot find bundle definition with name 'TestFlight/AssetBundles/testflight' I notice in Sarbian's original post he mentions the AssetBundle should have an extension of .ksp, but the one created by PartTools has no extension. Not sure which is correct. The error doesn't have an extension either so I assume the no extension is correct. I've copied over both the AssetDatabase and the xml but no joy so far. That doesn't make any sense. I mean after all modders in KSP are only one step removed from just a normal Unity developer unless KSP itself is mucking around with things. Even if it is harder from a code perspective, for me it is most likely worth it to be able to design NICE looking UIs using a proper editor. From memory you simply add the .ksp extension to the file so KSP knows to load it - I think KSP uses a simple file filter to only load files with a .ksp extension as asset bundles so it doesnt try and load any old file inside gamedata as an assetbundle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interacting through code with this UI is on the verge of the not really possible. From what I got it only works in simple and specific cases, and is still a hell to set up. Well, I just pushed the new GCMonitor version and it is 100% IMGUI free. I use pure code to create the small counter with the new UI and an AssetBundle to load the big window with the graph and buttons that I designed in the Unity Editor.

Agathorn Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Got my AssetBundle loading after adding the .ksp extension. Thanks @TriggerAu. I swear I tried that before but who knows. It loads now. My canvas isn't showing up, but i'm at least one step forward and just need to figure out how to work with it once loaded, so thanks @sarbian for the GCMonitor code, i'm sure that will help a lot. Is your prefab just a Canvas and its children or is there more to it than that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jandcando Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Can anyone help me find what I need to reference to get PartCategorizer working again? I'm referencing everything the OP said I should reference, but it still doesn't exist in the current context. Is there a whole new system for this, or am I just missing something?

Ziw Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I've spent some time writing up some UI helper classes while waiting for pre-release, and once you get the hang of it it is actually not that hard, but to simplify your main code you need to create at least 1 more abstraction layer for UI, like your own Window, Button, Text and other primitives. Once I get home from work I can try to arrange a github repo with all that I've come up thus far so everybody can help build a proper UI library for modders.

I should have the time between now and Sunday. In the mean time here are the useful entry point in that mess of a code . It seems some of the comment & formatting I added to that code is gone. I had a crash so I guess I lost a few minutes of work... The UI is loaded in Update when the AssetLoad is ready The loading is done in UILoad where I get a reference to my bundle and start the loading (which is asynchronous) UIInit is called when the loading is done and set up the UI. I Instantiate the UI prefab Attach it to KSP stock app Canvas get references to the my prefab hierarchy my searching the name I used in Unity set up the initial state and events The overlay counters are created with code only in UICreateCounters if you want to have a look. We could create the whole interface that way but a better idea would be to create a bunch of helper class to make our life easier. The main limitation of using the Unity Editor to create an UI is that you can not reference any of KSP graphic components and there are a few nice useful stuff in there . This is because they are in the game Assembly-CSharp.dll, which you can not load in Unity since it the same name as the one the editor create internally. I tried playing with Cecil but could not get something to work. @Ziw that would be great. And yes, we need some basic prefab for button and such. The one I use for GCMonitor are plain bad looking Edited March 30, 2016 by sarbian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stupid_chris Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 @sarbian yeah I know RL™ all too well, no worries. I need to start getting handy with how the Unity Editor works I guess, but I'm feeling it might take me a loooot of work to manage to replace RealChute's editor gui with this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziw Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 @sarbian I did not yet fiddle with prefabs, all I experimented with were some UI elements created and arranged (via AutoLayout) purely from code and some .png files for backgrounds and buttons. If we can get access to KSP's prefabs for some UI controls it would make a lot of things easier, as you won't need to create them from scratch.

sarbian Posted March 30, 2016 Author Share Posted March 30, 2016 (edited) You will notice that MJ still use the old UI GCMonitor was a good place to experiment since the UI is neither too complex or too simple. To do more complex stuff we will need helper code and prefabs. @ZiwThat s more or less what I need for MJ. You will notice that GCMon does that for the counters but the "new" UI is a bit messy to work with code and I often found myself with strange behavior with the layouts (I find their system not intuitive at all. I had far less problem building UI by code with Java Swing...) Edited March 30, 2016 by sarbian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
