The reason I want to do this is that I'd like users to be able to create their own racetrack and save it as an image. Users would then be able to select their image and race on their track.
I'm thinking of using the following code to test if the file exists
using System.IO;
public static bool TrackExists(string fileName)
{
return File.Exists($#"Content\Tracks\{fileName}.xnb");
}
If it doesn't exist in the pipeline, I'd like it to be added and built so it can then be used in the project.
How should I go about doing this?
if (File.Exists(path))
{
tex.FromFile(_graphicsDevice, path);
_game.ChangeState(new RaceState(_game, _graphicsDevice, _content, tex));
}
If you need to load an image file as a Texture2D, you need to use the static method Texture2D.FromFile() as follows
myTex2D = Texture2D.FromFile(GraphicsDevice, "path/to/file");
As a rule of thumb, you cannot use the pipeline to load files dynamically. Nevertheless, it is not necessary that you have to use it. AFAIK the pipeline is the best and fastest way to load the static content of your game. There will be methods to import your custom files as content dynamically, so don't worry just because you're not using the pipeline. There are many types in Monogame (like Texture2D) that support dynamic loading from files.
EDIT:
Just to clarify, The method is a static member of Texture2D class, so you should be using it as follows:
if (File.Exists(path))
{
tex = Texture2D.FromFile(_graphicsDevice, path);
//...Rest of your code
}

Can someone please help me with this, am trying to use OpenFileDialog class from System.Windows.Forms to open a file dialog and read the selected file. Then, this error showed up. I've referenced it but still the same, below is the code.
`using UnityEngine
using UnityEngine.UI
using System.Windows.Forms;
public class OpenFileButtonScript : MonoBehaviour
{
public TextFieldScript textFieldScript;
public void OpenFile()
{
OpenFileDialog openFileDialog = new OpenFileDialog();
openFileDialog.Filter = "Text Files (*.txt)|*.txt|All Files (*.*)|*.*";
openFileDialog.FilterIndex = 1;
openFileDialog.Multiselect = false;
if (openFileDialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
string filePath = openFileDialog.FileName;
string text = System.IO.File.ReadAllText(filePath);
textFieldScript.inputField.text = text;
}
}
}`
It may look like you have access to all of the native Window system libraries, but it just looks like it. In actuality, a lot of the time you're simply given stubs, or shims, that look like the full Window libraries, because there's a certain element that Unity wants to use from those namespaces. If you think about it, the code you present above, what do you think it should do on Android or Nintendo devices? The simple answer is, it simply won't work.
Generally in cases like this, you have to gain access to the native operating system, and perform those calls directly. For example, there is a file browser asset on the Asset Store, that does this for you. It's not free, because the process isn't trivial.
Depending on how much effort you want to put in, you CAN read files from the local file stores (to varying degrees based on platform). It's possible to read the list of files in a location, and use either uGUI or UIToolkit to create your own File Open Dialogue box. Again, this isn't a trivial task either. So you have to be sure that you'd want to go down that path.
How to exclude UnityEditor reference from asmdef?
Why I need it:
I have an asmdef file. For example, it is MyAssembly/MyAssembly.asmdef. The MyAssembly contains a lot of features and each feature staff is placed in its own folder. And some of these features has a code that is needed only in editor, and it refers to UnityEditor namespace. Such editor code is placed into an Editor folder.
But as you know, Editor folder name means nothing in terms of asmdef usage. So I add AssemblyDefenitionReference in each folder and refer it to the MyAssemblyEditor.asmdef assembly definition. So the paths looks like this:
MyAssembly/MyAssembly.asmdef
MyAssembly/Editor/MyAssemblyEditor.asmdef - this folder contains no code. It's needed just to place asmdef, because it's not allowed to place two asmdefs in a single folder.
MyAssembly/SomeFeature/Editor/*feature editor staff*
MyAssembly/SomeFeature/Editor/Editor.asmref - refers to MyAssemblyEditor.asmdef
MyAssembly/SomeFeature/*feature staff*
All this works good. But the problem is that, when some developer adds a new feature, he can forget to add a reference to the MyAssemblyEditor.asmdef in the editor folder. And there are no any errors will be shown in this case. This mistake will be revealed only when the build will be cooked. But I'd like that using of UnityEditor in MyAssembly will be instantly marked as an error.
Feel free to suggest other solution for this problem.
This thread got me thinking I can use CsprojPostprocessor to remove all references to UnityEditor from my csproj file. I wrote such class:
using System.Text.RegularExpressions;
using UnityEditor;
// ReSharper disable once CheckNamespace
public class CsprojPostprocessor : AssetPostprocessor
{
public static string OnGeneratedCSProject(string path, string content)
{
if (!path.EndsWith("Editor.csproj") && !path.EndsWith("Tests.csproj"))
{
var newContent =
Regex.Replace(content, "<Reference Include=\"UnityEditor(.|\n)*?</Reference>", "");
return newContent;
}
return content;
}
}
It also can be done with an xml parser or something.
The only thing, that confuse me is that this mechanism is badly documented and doesn't look like something simple users should use. So I use it at my own risk, but looks like there is no guarantee it will be strongly supported in future.
I'm trying to use Areas in my ASP.NET Core ABP project like so:
Folder Structure
I'm trying to add a single file bundle like this:
<abp-script src="/Areas/Community/Pages/Mentors/Index.js" />
When I try running the page I get the following error:
AbpException: Could not find the bundle file '/Areas/Community/Pages/Mentors/Index.js' from IWebContentFileProvider
The documentation says the files can be located in Pages, Views, Components, and Themes but it seems limiting if it doesn't also support areas. Do I need to add a route somewhere so the virtual file system can find it?
Update:
I found the source code in \Volo.Abp.AspNetCore\Volo\Abp\AspNetCore\VirtualFileSystem\AbpAspNetCoreContentOptions.cs
where it sets the AllowedExtraWebContentFolders list:
AllowedExtraWebContentFolders = new List<string>
{
"/Pages",
"/Views",
"/Themes",
"/Components"
};
Is there any way to add to this list?
You can configure it in the module's ConfigureServices method.
public override void ConfigureServices(ServiceConfigurationContext context)
{
Configure<AbpAspNetCoreContentOptions>(options =>
{
options.AllowedExtraWebContentFolders.Add("/Areas");
});
}
I have to display content from the owl file namely the class names.. onto my browser, I am using GWT,eclipse to do so, could some one tell me the following :-
1)how do I integrate the owl file with the eclipse project?
2)How do I run queries from my java project to extract class names from the owl file?
3)Where can I get the protege api to nclude into my project?!
You could just store your .owl file anywhere inside your project or on any other location on your harddrive. You just provide a path to it, when you load/store it (see code below).
Take a look at the OWLAPI, it allows you to load an existing ontology and retrieve all classes from it. Your code could look like this:
private static void loadAndPrintEntities() {
OWLOntologyManager manager = OWLManager.createOWLOntologyManager();
IRI documentIRI = IRI.create("file:///C:/folder/", "your_rontology.owl");
try {
OWLOntology ontology = manager.loadOntologyFromOntologyDocument(documentIRI);
//Prints all axioms, not just classes
ontology.axioms().forEach(a -> System.out.println(a));
} catch (OWLOntologyCreationException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
Rather than trying to integrate the Protegé API into your project, I suggest you write a plugin for Protegé. There are some great examples that should get you started. Import this project into Eclipse, modify the content, build your plugin and drop it into Protegé. That's it, you're ready to go!
NOTE: I'm casting a wider net than Unity Answers, my original question can be found here.
I've created a ProTools CueSheet importer. It uses OnPostprocessAllAssets() to detect a files in the project that have a .cuesheet extension. It then runs those cuesheet files through my parser. This generates a ScriptableObject which is then turned into an asset via Database.CreateAsset().
The problem is, this leaves me with two files, the original cuesheet and the newly generated asset. Is there any way I can generate the asset in such as way that the original cuesheet acts as the asset, the same way textures or FBX files do?
public class CueSheetPostProcessor : AssetPostprocessor {
static string extension = ".cuesheet";
static void OnPostprocessAllAssets(string[] importedAssets, string[] deletedAssets, string[] movedAssets, string[] movedFromAssetPaths) {
foreach (string assetPath in importedAssets) {
if (assetPath.EndsWith(extension, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)) {
string newPath = assetPath + ".asset";
Session session = CueImporter.Load(assetPath);
AssetDatabase.CreateAsset(session, newPath);
AssetDatabase.SaveAssets();
}
}
}
}
I would create a PropertyDrawer for the Serializable class CueSheet such that it accepts the .cueSheet TextAsset or path to the .cueSheet file and create an instance of the class CueSheet and assign it or modify it.
Rather than create a new asset, have you tried using AssetDatabase.AddObjectToAsset instead? An file in Assets can "hold" multiple assets and multiple asset types. When importing a .fbx, the output in the project inspector is several things: a GameObject tree (ie, a prefab), some models, maybe a rig, and so on. All these are "contained" in the processed .fbx
