Error message in version control

[orangeshua]

Hi guys, I’m new in unity.
when I use UVCS, it is fine for a few days.
And when I opened the UVCS today, and open the incoming changes it will notified that:
The server ‘@cloud’ has a not valid format. The server valid format is: [protocol://][organization@]server

and I search it in google, there are few answer to help me to fix this problem.
If you have some way to solve it, I will be appreciate.

Getting the same issue, did you ever find a solution?

[orangeshua]

Unfortunately no …

You need to confirm your source control settings at https://cloud.unity.com

[orangeshua]

It works!! Thank you!!!

[samssmurfff]

Having the same issue and the solution below didnt work as a fix. any suggestions?

[slimebutter4321]

Yes me either, the problem still exists after confirming the source control settings.

[samssmurfff]

let me know if you get a solution working but it seems something on unity end to fix.

I’m sorry you folks are struggling with the Unity VCS stuff… but I give you high marks for using source control in the first place, so you’re already ahead of the game.

Personally I think Unity has their plate full as the best game engine company … but I just don’t feel like their version control game is quite up to what I would consider “enterprise” standards.

That is of course just my own personal opinion / viewpoint, but I value my own hard work too highly to trust to anything other than an actual enterprise-grade asset control system, which is why I took the time to learn and use git.

Git isn’t an easy thing to learn, but it is essentially a pretty major standard out there, and underneath it all, git is incredibly simple in terms of what it is actually doing, although it might take a new user quite a while to realize this.

PROPERLY CONFIGURING AND USING ENTERPRISE SOURCE CONTROL

I’m sorry you’ve had this issue. Please consider using proper industrial-grade enterprise-qualified source control in order to guard and protect your hard-earned work.

Personally I use git (completely outside of Unity) because it is free and there are tons of tutorials out there to help you set it up as well as free places to host your repo (BitBucket, Github, Gitlab, etc.).

You can also push git repositories to other drives: thumb drives, USB drives, network drives, etc., effectively putting a complete copy of the repository there.

As far as configuring Unity to play nice with git, keep this in mind:

Prefab links keep getting dumped on Git pull

There really isn’t any fix because git works perfectly with Unity when configured properly. Best practices involve saving your work and closing Unity before using git. But if you understand how Unity does and does not flush changes to disk (or at least ALWAYS do a save-project), you can get away with leaving Unity open. The only thing linking EVERYTHING together in Unity is the GUID assigned to a script or asset. Name is irrelevant. Only the GUID connects it. This GUID is in the meta file. I…

I usually make a separate repository for each game, but I have some repositories with a bunch of smaller test games.

Here is how I use git in one of my games, Jetpack Kurt:

2 steps backwards

Yeah, what Praetor said is it… Debug.Log is your friend, and also since this is animation related, you can open up the Animator window when you expect the animations to go, and actually visually see where the state machine is, see which state it thinks it is in. You can combine this with Debug.Log() output at the locations where you set the animations to be what you think they should be, and that should lead you to some intel. I highly recommend setting up git source control. It really plays ni…

Using fine-grained source control as you work to refine your engineering:

When to make a separate object or class/script? Help me think like a programmer! (Example in text.)

This is a reasonable initial approach. The problem is you have listed the parts, but you haven’t really listed how they interact, and even if you did, it’s still sorta up to you how to organize it. Only YOU will know how to organize it, and the only way you can tell is to do the work. I recommend this: first, develop ALWAYS with source control (such as git), and every time you get even the slightest thing working, commit those changes with good commit messages. Then move to the next thing, c…

Share/Sharing source code between projects:

Your techniques to share code between projects?

I have found that bundling your own code into DLLs only serves to slow down your workflow. I base this on several years of experience dealing with other teams well-intentioned packaging mishaps. With games, it is almost always useful to reach into library code, make a temporary tweak to isolate a problem, and then revert it. With DLLs this is impossible, making workflow harder and more brittle. I prefer to share source code at the C# level. That way I can reach into libraries trivially and inje…

Setting up an appropriate .gitignore file for Unity3D:

Removing IL2CPP_cache from Project

Not sure what you are “auto generating” with… I usually start from one of my other projects, or a gitignore example online, and reason about all the parts inside it, and start from there. Like any other configuration change, after you make it, pay attention for a while to make sure it is what you want. You can always clone the repo somewhere else to verify that the correct files are being tracked. Doing so to a brand-new computer is the acid test to make sure you can still build the project. …

Generally the ONLY folders you should ever source control are:

Assets/
ProjectSettings/
Packages/

NEVER source control Library/ or Temp/ or Logs/
NEVER source control anything from Visual Studio (.vs, .csproj, none of that noise)

Setting git up with Unity (includes above .gitignore concepts):

How to Git with Unity

It is only simple economics that you must expend as much effort into backing it up as you feel the work is worth in the first place. Digital storage is so unbelievably cheap today that you can buy gigabytes of flash drive storage for about the price of a cup of coffee. It’s simply ridiculous not to back up.

If you plan on joining the software industry, you will be required and expected to know how to use source control.

Source control does require learning, but there are TONS of tutorials and courses and online reference.

You should strive to use source control as confidently as you use your file/folder system.

Yeah this might have to be the option we go for. I have always used git but I thought i’d give it a try before shutting it down. And the first impression quickly went from “oh its quite user friendly being integrated in unity” to “oh theres already a problem…”

edit: thank you for your response, this is probably the route we will go down.

Is there any way to make this the default? If I make a new project through the unity hub and tell it to use UVC it only half sets it up then I get the OP’s error
