Ok, first of all, I KNOW that this question has been asked many times before and all the time people said it’s impossible to change the tag list, layer list and sorting layer list in run time or in other words, by using custom editor menus, but, for me, i never accept impossible as an answer, to me, it comes from people who don’t want to accept a challenge and sit and think and find a solution.
please take a look at this picture :
Behind the scene this is the TagManager.asset file in project settings folder, I opened it with a hex editor and what i see? it’s a binary file with all the names i added to project being there! So the question comes into the mind, if the layer names are simple strings, even in the binary file, without any encoding, and I’m sure somewhere there in the file there is an integer defining the number of elements in the list…
Why the hell we shouldn’t be able to read this binary file and tweak it’s data using .net classes and stream readers? I didn’t do the binary read personally, so this is the reason I’m asking the same old question again !
Also, there is another question regarding this, I’m not good at reflection in coding, but is it possible to change these lists and their members by reflection from code?
please before closing your eyes and say “It’s impossible!” sit for a minute and think for a possible solution on tweaking these asset files, because if we can change even one of them, the rest of the settings in the folder falls under same solution !
