UnityDog - Wordpress Plugin

Hi everyone, as someone requested via pm I'm posting my modification that doesn't use wordpress and has the context menu disabled. Just open the html and change the Build.unity3d matching your own.

HTML:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5636920/unitydog_no_wordpress.rar

Cheers!

 

My UnityDog has stopped working. I have looked at the plugin. I have been successful in updating the parameters but not getting them used.

unitydog.php
$width = $atts['w'];
$height = $atts['h'];

$url = wp_get_attachment_url( $atts['src'] );
if ( !$url ) return "(missing unity attachment)";

return '<unitydog width='.$width.' height='.$height.' src="'.$url.'"></unitydog>';
}

page
[unity src="158" w="600" h="600"]

Hope this helps

 

This pops up just when I needed something like it! Thanks!

I've made a few additions to the shortcode though so there'd be more control without messing with the source files. It's a bit hacky but addresses some of the features people have been wanting.

[unity src="4" h="500" w="500" fullscreen="no" preview="img.jpg" class="someClass someOtherClass"]

h - overrides height (in pixels)
w - overrides width (in pixels)
fullscreen - 'no' removes fullscreen controls
preview - source for preview background image (not the most comfortable way but it gets the job done)
class - custom classes for extra styles

Any of these can be left out, in which case defaults will be used.

This plugin works perfectly and Tanel you just saved me from going in and dealing with it myself. I have a game where fullscreen is ok and another where it isn't so this is just what I need, you rule! Thank you!

Edit: testing it out a bit more, it kinda breaks the css of my website, and displays the game a bit over to the left instead of being in the center.

I'm terrible with css and not managing to fix it, any way you could help?

 

Some other stylesheet on your site might be overriding unitydog's styles. Inspect it with Chrome devtools or similar and see if anything floats it to the left and so on.

 

It's right not left. Don't know why I wrote left, sorry.

As I'm said I'm terrible with Unity, could you check it out:

I published it password protected so it won't pop on the site not ready. Password is: unity

 

You set the width of your player 960px but the containing element is 792, so it doesn't fit.

In style.css you could remove the rule max-width: 45em; from the class 'site-main' but that would widen the content area throughout your site.

If you leave width out of the shortcode, the player will take up 100% of the containing element, so that's another option.

 

Hmm, so you're saying the max width of my website is 792.

That's kinda odd as I've never had an issue embedding youtube videos and I always use 853x480.

The standard unity webplayer size is 960x600, and that's what I used to build the game so that's what I want.

Thanks for helping out. Other than changing what you said, you see any other option?

 

The max width of the content area is 45em, which is a percentage based unit ( 792px for my screen, something a bit different for other sizes).

As for the Youtube videos, there's a rule in your css that sets iframe width to 100%, so they're actually 792px too.

Well, another way would be to make a new page template where the content area is wider, so the whole site wouldn't be affected.

 

The theme I'm using is a responsive theme meant to fit any screen and work on tablets and phones.

This game has to be played at 960x600 (I made it in 48 hours and using the terrible standard GUI).

I guess it'll be best to try and ask the theme creator for help with a custom page as I have very little knowledge of the inner-working of wordpress and generaly css dealings.

Thanks for trying to help!

 

Hi,

I am using UnityDog which is awesome, as it saved me a lot of hassle when supplying web demos for people.
I am having one strange bug though.

I am using player pref and for some reason the new builds I upload are showing different settings from the Unity3d editor version. I am thinking there is a file stored somewhere with older unity3d player prefs from a previous version. If this is the case, were could I find and delete it?

 

The web player PlayerPrefs are saved in the folder (windows)

C:\Users\YOUR USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Unity\WebPlayerPrefs / %appdata%\Unity\WebPlayerPrefs

https://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/ScriptReference/PlayerPrefs.html

 

Love this plugin! The only thing I needed that it was missing was a way to keep the aspect ratio on resize, so here's a quick hack I did to get it to work (it wouldn't be too hard to configure it in for customizable ratios, but all my games are 16:9 so I just hardcoded it):

1. Set both width and height to 95% in the CSS file.
2. In unitydog.php, change
return '<unitydog width="'.$width.'" height="'.$height.'" src="'.$url.'"></unitydog>';
to
return '<div style="width: 100%; height: 0; position: relative; padding-top: 56.25%">
<div style="position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; bottom: 0; right: 0;">
<unitydog width="'.$width.'" height="'.$height.'" src="'.$url.'"></unitydog></div></div>';

This will add a few container divs that'll resize to fit your site and keep the aspect ratio to what you want. If you want something other than 16:9, just change the 56.25% to another value:
1:1 = 100%
2:1 = 50%
1:2 = 200%
4:3 = 75%

This site does a good job of explaining what's going on with the CSS: http://www.mademyday.de/css-height-equals-width-with-pure-css.html

 

I've been trying to get this plugin to work but nothing shows up. When I upload the ".unity3d" file it puts ".zip" on the end of it. The plugin mentions in the unitydog.php fie...

PHP:

// A lot of webservers can't serve unity3d files by default.
// So rename it from .unity to .zip

So I figure that it can still detect what the ".unity3d.zip" is meant to be. I even tried changing ".unity3d" to ".zip" before uploading and the result is still the same. When uploading the media onto a page it puts

PHP:

[unity src="434"]

But previewing the page results in a regular page with no webplayer.

Info: I use HostGator with the WordPress plugin.

 

how to auto play

 

Just posting to give mad props for this, literally the easiest thing in the world to implement, incredible and thank you.

 

I use hostgator as well and had the same issues but realized I was naming the page the same as the .unity3d file once I used a totally different name than what the file was I had no issues. Not sure if this help but it solved the issue I had with hostgator.

 

Amazing! Works very well.

 

Thank you very much, this worked a charm.

 

Hey all,

I've installed it in my wordpress installation. Yesterday it worked pefectly. Today it stopped working while I have changed nothing. The webplayer shows up, but the game isn't loaded. I just get the Unity logo with the loading bar, but it it's not being loaded after that.
I've checked other webplayers here on the site and those I can load without a problem.

How can I solve this?

Thanks for the help!

 

Wonderful features - it's certainly worth a try. I use Wordpress an think that embedding Unity files will be great, especially for portfolio - to better showcase Unity works and games.

 

Okay... Next time I've got a webplayer file that stopped working, I'll need to remind myself to reupload it and see if that helps. Apparently somehow my file got corrupted. I reuploaded and now it works perfectly.

Have fun everyone!

 

The problem with mine is that the borders are messed up on the game, and when I try to upload a new, improved version, it doesn't update. It should be all black, but once uploaded in Unity Dog it doesn't work. Here's a screenshot:

EDIT:

It works now, turns out It's because every update I made, the game had the same name. I made a new name with every update, and it changed on the website.

 

Hi!

So firstly the plugin is amazing. I've got it to work perfectly with a default Wordpress theme.

However when I switch back to my website's theme the Unity player simply just doesn't appear to exist!

Please help, I have absolutely no idea how to fix this!!

[EDIT] It was the theme that didn't support Unity web player apparently! It now works perfectly! Thank you so much!

 

Hello!
Sorry for what probably is an obvious question, but I have absolutely no idea how to disable the fullscreen button.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Thank you!!!!!!

(This plugin is amazing by the way!!!)

 

Hi! is there a way I can use this plugin by uploading my game via dropbox?

 

Hey all,

I used the plugin and it worked as it should when I tested it with small unity-projects. But when I embed a file that is more than 16 MB the plugin crashes and tells me it "failed to download file". Sometimes even the whole bowser crashes. I can only relate it to the size of the unity-files, since everything up to 16 MB works like a charme.


Can somebody drop a hint what is wrong and what I could do to improve this?
Can any of you use files with more then 16 MB?

 

If memory serves, the default settings for Wordpress limits downloads to less than 16mb. You have to edit the settings to allow larger downloads. Give that a try, I'm pretty sure that's what I did to fix this.

 

I use filezilla to upload the file to the relevant folder on the wordpress site. Then, i use "add from server" wordpress plugin to add it to the media library. I've put mad big webbuilds up successfully.

 

Thanks for the help, both of you. =)
I was sick but I will start testing now.
I already uploaded the files via ftp-upload, but the player crashes while loading, so I guess the error is somewhere else.

 

Hi all, I'm using FileZilla to upload the plugin by Garry Newman. I did all the wp-content/plugin directory stuff, dropped the unitydog garry version folder, however, when I added my game as media (I had done it with the old version but I guessed I would re-add it to test) it still doesn't use the width and height I set with the w and h variables.
Thanks for all the help, past and future!

 

Have a problem with this nice plugin. I can´t get the *.unity3D file as "src" .(renaming to a *.zip doesn´t work)

I mean, WHO uploads any other files than jpg with the intern WP media-file-uploder ??? Therefore you have thousand other better solutions with plugins in WP. So there isn´t any prob with the extention "*.unity3D". Of course you can upload any file extension to your WP content (with a plugin-uploader or a ftp).

I opened the "unitydog.php" to set *.unity3D as source instead of the attachment-id. But with no success. It would be very kind if anybody can mod the few lines, or post it here in the forum

 

Ok, got it by myself . So if anyone else don´t like the "id" solution and prefer the real-name, you can change the code with mine:

// The unity shortcode , could look like: ... [unity loc="/blabla/test/" src="Buddweisser.unity3d"]
$upload_dir = wp_upload_dir();
$uploadbase = $upload_dir['baseurl'];

function unitydog_unity( $atts ){
global $uploadbase;

if ( !$atts['src'] ) return "(missing unity src)";

$source = $atts['src']; // <--- the one that you put down below into the "return" line
$location = $atts['loc']; // <--- the one that you put down below into the "return" line
$width = $atts['w'];
$height = $atts['h'];

return "<unitydog width=$width height=$height src=$uploadbase/$location/$source ></unitydog>";
}
add_shortcode( 'unity', 'unitydog_unity' );

Btw. Thx for this great plugin !

 

Someone mentioned about inputting real urls instead of IDs. Here's how to have 2 options:

First of all, delete the

Code (CSharp):

1. if ( !$atts['src'] ) return "(missing unity src)";

line in your unitydog.php.

Then, add this where the deleted statement used to be:

Code (CSharp):

1. if ( !$atts['src'] ) {
2.             $url = $atts['url'];
3.         } else {
4.             $url = wp_get_attachment_url( $atts['src'] );
5.         }

Now, when you're adding the shortcode, you can have it like this:

Code (CSharp):

1. [unity src="307"]

or like this:

Code (CSharp):

1. [unity url="http://www.googledrive/example/your_hosting_link/whatever/your_game.unity3d"]

Note that you must have at least one of them. If you have both, then your ID will be the one used, not your manual link.

 

Thank you for creating this plugin. Only question is there a way I can set it to use my own loading image instead of the default unity image? Thanks!

 

Hi, I was playing around with your car models last year. About your question, it's not possible with Unity Free (or personal version, as it's now called). The image is extracted from the .unity3d file, and not the server or anything. I believe that you can change it with Unity Pro?

However, I'm currently using the Edge browser, which doesn't allow the web player to run. The web player is dying. It is recommended to export to WebGL as all browsers will eventually drop support for the unity web player. This means that the plugin will no longer be developed.

 

i like the webplayer. small & compact & powerfull. don' t like if it would disappear. WebGL seems like the future, but its to big and not everything is supported

 

I totally agree. Sadly, this is the way things will turn out - unless the web player itself changes (which Unity won't do).

 

Yep... i like this webplayer, bcause published things are sooo tiny and supports the desktop versions. But i guess as you said, unity will focus on WebGL (if they can make it the same, like our lovely webPlayer...why not)
