How to setting environment lighting at prefab edit mode??? Environment lighting at main scene is not affect(

7

From the manual:
"You can assign a Scene as an editing environment to Prefab Mode, which allows you to edit your Prefab against a backdrop of your choosing rather than an empty Scene. This can be useful for seeing how your Prefab looks against typical scenery in your game.

To set a Scene as the editing environment, open the Editor window (top menu: Edit > Project Settings, then select the Editor category) and go to the Prefab Editing Environment section. Use the Regular Environment setting for “non-UI” Prefabs, and the UI Environment setting for UI Prefabs."

Hi!
Whenever I create a new project the console throws these 4 errors, and by pressing the play button it shows the following message “All compiler errors have to be fixed before you can enter playmode!”.

I think it’s the same problem reported in this thread of the beta forum.

I use Unity Hub and have installed:

  • Unity 2017.4.15f1 LTS running smoothly
  • Unity 2018.2.18f1 running smoothly
  • Unity 2018.3.0f2 running these 4 errors mesages
  • Unity 2019.1.0a11 (Beta) running smoothly

I found this in the editor log:

-----CompilerOutput:-stdout--exitcode: -2147450750--compilationhadfailure: True--outfile: Temp/Unity.TextMeshPro.dll
-----CompilerOutput:-stderr----------
Failed to load the dll from [?9], HRESULT: 0x80070057

The library hostfxr.dll was found, but loading it from C:\Program Files\Unity\Hub\Editor\2018.3.0f2\Editor\Data\Tools\Roslyn\hostfxr.dll failed

  - Installing .NET Core prerequisites might help resolve this problem.

     http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=798306&clcid=0x409

-----EndCompilerOutput---------------
- Finished compile Library/ScriptAssemblies/Unity.TextMeshPro.dll

I’m installing the .Net SDK as reported in the log file to see if it fixes the problem.
[Edited] No luck, the errors still persist after installing the .Net SDK.

It’s not clear how to update to ProBuilder 4. I’m on 2018.3 and the Package Manager says 3.0.9 is still the latest.

It feels like a huge step forward. I can hardly wait to see what goodies you have in 2019 for us!

I installed it through the Hub and the documentation is in the list.

Try Advanced/Show preview packages. I’m sure I’ve seen Pro builder and Cinemachine somewhere in the packages list.

14

Great, very exciting! Many of the problems I currently have with 2018.2 might be fixed. However, after upgrading the project I get spammed with errors(even in an empty scene). Also, the package manager gets stuck loading… The cosole output of the two errors below. Does anybody know what these are arbout?

The error seems to be related to your Hierarchy Plugin. I recommend to ask in the Hierarchy Pro thread instead, which seems to be that plugin according to Google:
https://discussions.unity.com/t/669648

Update: It’s Hierarchy Pro. Somebody else seems to have the same issue:

You can still get back to the previous version of Unity, if you kept a backup of your project before upgrading.

18

It looks like an Unity issue.

Could you please submit a bug-report, as described in this document:

After you submitted the bug-report, you receive a confirmation email with a bug-report Case number. You can post this Case number here in this forum thread for Unity staff to pick up, in case they see your post.

19

I couldn’t tell you how to create the same problem and I don’t see how I can send you a 6 gig project.

20

According to the error message, it seems to be related to a class named NewPlayModeTest and method named NewPlayModeTestSimplePasses which should be part of your project.
