I UPGRADED MY NETCODE TO 1.7

I GOT NEW ERROR I DIDNT HAVE BEOFRE

Hi Firebird721,

Can you provide the entire stack trace for me?

firebird721 · November 16, 2023, 7:03pm

I asked chatgpt - it said that this is confirmed problem - if he is right then i want to downgrade to 1.6 but i didnt succed in that

this is evertyhing i have:
Unity.Netcode.Editor.CodeGen.NetworkBehaviourILPP: (0,0): error - System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.|| at Unity.Netcode.Editor.CodeGen.CodeGenHelpers.MakeGeneric(MethodReference self, TypeReference[ ] arguments)|| at Unity.Netcode.Editor.CodeGen.NetworkBehaviourILPP.ProcessNetworkBehaviour(TypeDefinition typeDefinition, String[ ] assemblyDefines)|| at Unity.Netcode.Editor.CodeGen.NetworkBehaviourILPP.<>c__DisplayClass7_0.b__1(TypeDefinition b)|| at System.Collections.Generic.List1.ForEach(Action1 action)|| at Unity.Netcode.Editor.CodeGen.NetworkBehaviourILPP.Process(ICompiledAssembly compiledAssembly) at Unity.Netcode.Editor.CodeGen.CodeGenHelpers.MakeGeneric(MethodReference self, TypeReference[ ] arguments)|| at Unity.Netcode.Editor.CodeGen.NetworkBehaviourILPP.ProcessNetworkBehaviour(TypeDefinition typeDefinition, String[ ] assemblyDefines)|| at Unity.Netcode.Editor.CodeGen.NetworkBehaviourILPP.<>c__DisplayClass7_0.b__1(TypeDefinition b)|| at System.Collections.Generic.List1.ForEach(Action1 action)|| at Unity.Netcode.Editor.CodeGen.NetworkBehaviourILPP.Process(ICompiledAssembly compiledAssembly)

all worked well then i upgraded and got this - i use lts 2022

chat gpt:
The error you’re encountering in Unity after upgrading to Netcode 1.7 and using LTS 2022 seems to be related to issues during the upgrading process. Here are some steps and considerations that might help you resolve the issue:

Backup Your Project: Before upgrading to Netcode from MLAPI, it’s essential to backup your entire project. This is crucial because the new version modifies files and locations drastically different from previous MLAPI versions. You can create a copy of your entire project folder and use source control software like Git.
Use the Upgrade Tool: Manually upgrading from the .dll version installed by MLAPI to the new package version breaks all MLAPI component references in your scenes and prefabs. An upgrade tool is available to help with this process. To start upgrading, add the upgrade tool to your project using the Add package from git URL option in the Package Manager window with this URL: https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/multiplayer-community-contributions.git?path=/com.unity.multiplayer.mlapi-patcher#release-0.1.0.
Install the Netcode Package: After installing the upgrade tool, you should follow the installation guide to install Netcode. Note that installing the Netcode package will result in error messages in the console because your project will have MLAPI and Netcode at the same time, which is expected. The Burst package, which is also installed, requires an Editor restart.

Hold off on the Chat gpt suggestion as that is not a correct fix for this issue.
Just a few more questions so I can see if we can get a bit more information.
What platform are you targeting?
What does your stack trace settings look like?

Just out of curiosity, do you have any classes that derived from NetworkBehaviour that follow this type of pattern:

2ndGenChildClass
Has RPCs defined
1stGenChildClass
Has no RPCs defined
(parent) NetworkBehaviour

Example:

public class SecondGenChild : FirstGenChild
{
   [ServerRpc]
   public void SomeServerRpc()
   {

   }
}

public class FirstGenChild : NetworkBehaviour
{
   // No RPCs declared
}

There is a known issue in v1.7.0 where if you have multigeneration children where one generation of the children has no RPCs but the later generation derived children do it can cause that kind of exception. We have a fix for this (v1.71) that should be public by (hopefully) sometime next week.

If this is the case, then you have two options until the hot-patch update is available:

Option #1: Add A Temporary RPC To Middle Generation Child:

public class SecondGenChild : FirstGenChild
{
   [ServerRpc]
   public void SomeServerRpc()
   {

   }
}

public class FirstGenChild : NetworkBehaviour
{
   // Temporary work around
   [ServerRpc]
   private void TempServerRpc()
   {

   }
}

The type of RPC you add doesn’t matter if it is ClientRpc or ServerRpc…just that it has “an RPC” in it.

Option #2: Modify Your Project’s Manifest File:
Replace your manifest file com.unity.netcode.gameobjects entry with this:

"com.unity.netcode.gameobjects": "https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/com.unity.netcode.gameobjects.git?path=com.unity.netcode.gameobjects#develop"

This will use the develop branch that already has the fix in it and then you can just update to v1.7.1 when it is released.

Using one of the two above options should resolve your issue.

THX ALLOT - I used the manifest fix to downgrade to 1.6 and netcode return to life but…
dont know what splines is not recognised anymore

Hmmm…you could have something in your packages-lock.json file in the same folder.
Make a copy/backup of packages-lock.json and then delete that and see if that resolves the new issue.
(the original fix-work-around suggested wasn’t meant to be used as a downgrade)

firebird721 · November 26, 2023, 1:01pm

1.71 works great! thx!

NoelStephens_Unity · November 26, 2023, 6:41pm

So your issue was resolved by using v1.7.1?

firebird721 · November 26, 2023, 6:53pm

EXACTLY! THX
