Database Control (Free) has reached over 1000 Asset Store Downloads
(1021 at this exact point in time)
To celebrate we will start working on an update soon (v1.1). We will completely reprogram the code within Unity (from scratch) to make the Setup Editor Window easier to use. We are also considering adding another window to make intergrating the login/register UI into your game easier.
All user interfaces will be improved and will look much nicer. They will also be in-theme with Database Control Pro.
The features will stay the same in this update, but we are considering transferring it over to a different server system. This would make requests much quicker and limits much higher. We are not sure how much it would cost us to do this so we might have to abandon the idea after some testing.
As this is such a big update, it will not be compatible with the current version of Database Control (Free). If you want to upgrade, all database contents will be lost and you will have to remove the old version from your project before you import the new version. Also, there may be significant code changes.
As pointed out to us by a Unity user interested in Database Control Pro, neither DCP or DCF currently work in China. This was an issue we werenāt previously aware of and we are now working to find a solution to it.
We are currently working on a quick fix for the current version of Database Control (Free) so it works with Unity 5.5. It should be done in the next few days.
Edit: We have submitted it to the Asset Store. It should be live in the next 5 to 10 working days.
Edit 2: Database Control (Free) v1.0.3 is now available on the Unity Asset Store.
Take a look here.
Iāve recently gotten this asset and i am lovin it. I love how you guys are still on top of this and continue to update it. Though i do have a question. Where can i find the data in the database, is it in a file?? I would like to delete (unused)accounts individually or change passwords. It has just been an inconvenience miss-typing usernames/passwords and not being able to do anything about it. Thanks for the great asset. Thumbs Up
@Tyranosaw - Thanks! We are glad you like it. The database is stored on a server online, it is not contained in any files. This means you are limited to the Register, Login, GetData, SetData, and empty database methods used in the demo scenes and editor window. Unfortunately, you cannot view all the contents of the database to delete specific accounts or change passwords. If you would like a system which does this, you might have to purchase Database Control Pro. Sorry for the inconvenience.
We have just finished Database Control (Free) v1.1 for Unity 5.5 and Unity 4.6. Now we need to get it working in 5.0 and 5.3. After that we will release a demo and create a new setup tutorial video then release on the Asset Store!
(And version 1.1 should work in China. This was a issue for many people and we have managed to fix it!)
Edit: Itās working in 5.0 and 5.3 now. We will put the demos online very soon.
@arnesso - Thank you for the feedback! We havenāt specifically tested it or tried integrating it with Photon, but we believe it should work without any problems. Each player should be able to access their own account. But, if you want to share data from Database Control (Free) (e.g. usernames) with other players then you will have to add this to your photon code. We donāt have much experience with Photon, but if you have any issues we are happy to help.
Database Control Pro is currently part of the Madness Sale and is 15% off. That makes it just $29.75.
The sale lasts until the end of April so make sure you buy it before then!
There is currently a bug in Database Control (Free) causing issues in WebGL and Webplayer. We know what the problem is and will submit a fix to the Asset Store soon.
Edit: We have submitted version 1.1.1 to the Asset Store Team this morning, hopefully it will be on the Asset Store within the next week. This version includes the fix along with SSL and full Unity 2017.1 support.
Weāve just uploaded the demos for Database Control (Free) version 1.1.1
The online demos should be working correctly on all Webplayer and WebGL supported browsers.
We have been asked how to use Database Control (Free) over multiple scenes without the user having to re-enter their login details. Just in case there are more people out their with the same question we have made a tutorial video to show you:
You can download the final project from here. The project was made in Unity 5.5 and we havenāt checked it in other versions of Unity. Also, you still need to create a database using the Editor Window before you can use this project. And donāt press play from within the Demo Menu or InGameExample scenes. It will only work if you press play in the InitGame scene as the other scenes rely on the GameObject it creates storing the playerās login details.
No. We havenāt used playmaker ourselves so donāt support it.
However, the only coding you need to do with the asset is call 4 methods when required (Login, Register, GetData and SetData). This is explained better in the included documentation. So you can use playmaker with the asset providing there is a way to call these methods using it. Also, if you want to use the demo scene you might want to convert the demo scene code to use playmaker. But, the asset is free so there is no harm in spending a few hours trying to get it working if you have the time.
