Unity Serializer LoadNow

Questions & Answers
1

I am looking for help using the LoadNow function of Unity Serializer.

I have level data stored in a database and recalled in game. If I use:

LevelSerializer.LoadSavedLevel(levelData);

It loads perfectly. However, if I use:

LevelSerializer.LoadNow(levelData);

I receive two errors and the level does not load. The two errors that I am receiving are:

Radical.cs:

Serialization error: System.FormatException: Input string was not in the correct format
  at System.Int32.Parse (System.String s) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0

$:MoveNext() (at Assets/LevelEditor/LoadLevels.js:67)

and LevelLoader.cs:

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
LevelLoader+<Load>c__Iterator2.<>m__46 (.UniqueIdentifier n) (at Assets/Plugins/whydoidoit.com/Serialization/LevelLoader.cs:113)

System.Linq.Enumerable.ToList[UniqueIdentifier] (IEnumerable`1 source)
LevelLoader+<Load>c__Iterator2.MoveNext () (at Assets/Plugins/whydoidoit.com/Serialization/LevelLoader.cs:113)

The scene I am serializing into is identical at the time being, but for some reason I am getting this error… I’d really like to load using this function as I don’t want the assets being reset with the level because I have variables that I need to stay…

Any help would be awesome. Thanks everyone.

Any way to bump this? Hopefully it works! Been waiting a while and posted on official forums. :frowning:

What is your “levelData”? You need to use LevelSerializer.SerializeLevel() to get that data into either a byte or a string. Then you feed that into LoadNow().
