Big feedback after 4 days of use

[demonixis]

Hi,

I use the editor on Linux since the official announcement. Today I want to share with you all bugs that I’ve encountered. I also written an article/tutorial about it on my blog (in French) to help all users to install and report bugs.

This is my long list of bugs

[Editor] It’s hard to dock windows on a panel.
[Editor] If you try to dock a window too much time, the editor crashes.
[Editor] I can’t import OBJ/MTL models.
[Editor] I can’t import some audio files (Wave) (FSBTool ERROR: The format of the source file is invalid, see output for details.)
[Editor] The mouse cursor is reversed when it’s over the scene view (It’s a reversed X11 cursor).
[Editor] The drag’n drop feature doesn’t work (I know that it’s a know issue).
[Editor] I can’t resize any popup because it closes when I try to resize it.
[Editor] Mouse capture doesn’t work (Input.GetAxis(“Horizontal|Vertical”) doesn’t work with mouse).
[Editor] The AssetStore windows display a gray screen.
[Existing Project] Some prefabs have missing scripts.
[Existing Project] Some properties of scripts are not deserialized.
[Preview Game/UI] The raycast doesn’t use the real mouse position, there is a big offset between the widget raycast and the mouse cursor. So it’s hard to click on a UI element.
[Plugin] Some plugins doesn’t work (Leapmotion, ProBuilder, ProGrid)
[Plugin] I have this error when I try to launch ProGrid or ProBuilder window : roGrid ne peut pas être lancé car l’erreur Script attached to ‘ProBuilderWireframeMeshObject’ in scene » is missing or no valid script is attached.
UnityEditor.HostView:OnGUI() survient.
[MonoDevelop] The first launch doesn’t opens the solution (just the file) so no DLL references, no completion + Errors. Sometime I need to open more than 5 time MonoDevelop to have the solution with all correct references.
[MonoDevelop] I can’t debug my project.
[MonoDevelop] I can’t build the project from MonoDevelop because of this error : Error: Error initializing task Message: Could not load file or assembly ‘Microsoft.Build.Tasks.v4.0’ or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. (Assembly-CSharp-vs)

This is my configuration
CPU: Intel Core i5
GPU: NVIDIA GTX 750 - Binary drivers (latest 355-xx)
RAM: 8 Gb DDR3
OS: Kubuntu 15.10 x64 BETA - Kernel 4.1.0-3-SMP
Screen: Dual Screen (main to the left, second to the right)

Additional devices

• Leapmotion (works on Linux, doesn’t work in Unity)
• XBox Controller (Works in Unity)
• Android device (Not tested yet)

I hope it’ll help you to improve the editor!

Thanks for the feedback and the blog post!

[Editor] I can’t import some audio files (Wave) (FSBTool ERROR: The format of the source file is invalid, see output for details.)

Can you provide a wav file where this happens, and details about the target platform?

Leapmotion (works on Linux, doesn’t work in Unity)

How are you trying to use it from Unity?

@demonixis

[Editor] I can’t import OBJ/MTL models.

Can you provide one of these as well?

[demonixis]

Hi,

I’m glad if It can help. I’ll prepare a package with some wave files and obj models tomorrow. In fact I noticed that all my obj files are not imported.

About the Leapmotion, I have installed the drivers and the SDK, it works on my system by starting the deamon (leapd).
However I can’t use the plugin, there are too much errors. I don’t have my Linux system right now, but I’ll report all errors later.

Hi again,

This is one of my obj models that can’t be imported. Unfortunatly, I can’t reproduce the audio issue, it’s maybe an error during the first import. I can try to remove the Library folder and try to reimport the game to see all errors I have.

I know why the Leapmotion plugin doesn’t work, It’s not your fault, this is because the plugin don’t ship the libraries for Linux (pretty strange, how to deploy games with LM support on Linux?) Btw I’ll try to compile this dll and retry.
