Inventory Pro - uGUI - Performance - Mobile support & More

Thanks guys means a lot, will continue to do my best ^^

 

It's actually already here , the current character can be set in the InventoryManager.instance.currentCharacter, once you swtich the character the system will also switch the inventories and the equippable collection.

Have a peek at: http://devdog.nl/unity/document/customization/multiple-characters/

 

Hey, does this have support for items larger than 1 'slot'? So say items that are 1x2, 2x2 grid slots in size. If it isn't already implemented, would this be something you would like to add or at least would it be possible to extend your system to create this functionality? Thanks.

 

This isn't supported right now, as it is (for some reason) not all that commonly requested. I'm using a flat data structure (an array) for the collections, when using a grid based inventory I think it might be more suitable to use a different structure. Although this isn't a huge setback, I don't think it would be super easy to build in a grid system, considering sorting collections, stacking, UI stuff, etc.

I'll put it on my list of potential new features, I'll look into it, no promises though

 

Thanks, we'll probably pick up the asset anyway and take a gander around. Thanks for the quick reply.

 

I've added a 2D demo scene showing the basics, it's all very straight forward

 

So I'm having some trouble. I'm following the tutorials and I'm up to item creation, only to get this error:

I'm running 5.0.2f1 on OS X 10.10.3 and have followed the tutorials word for word so far.

 

@jorisshh
The current item creation process starts to get really painful when I'm creating a few dozen items at once.

As a feature request, here are some ideas to improve it:

1) Import from JSON or CSV to create items
2) spreadsheet view to change many items quickly
3) fast way to duplicate an item (i.e. CTRL+D)

A few minor things that add to the annoyance:
-no way to indicate default item prefab to use (that I've found)
-When entering / changing the name of an item, the editor goes really slow - I think it's renaming the prefab (and thus updating all links to said prefab) every time I enter a letter.
- the previous mentioned bug where the "sell price higher than buy price" error takes focus away as those fields are being changed

 

This is exactly what's going on. I watched a prefab rename as I typed in to confirm this and it really bogs things down. It'd be nice if we could name the item before the creation process at the very least to help alleviate this.

 

Got it, I'll be sure to fix the annoyances, excel / json import has been requested a few times now, I'll write this down as a feature and consider it for the following development cycle

 

Is this perhaps happening when selecting the item in your project folder? If so, this was a bug caused in the editor code, I've recently fixed this and the fix will be available

 

Does anybody know if this is easy to integrate with Realistic FPS prefab?

 

I've contacted on of the inventory pro users, who I know is working on a RFPS integration, once he's done and has something to share he'll post it on the Inventory Pro's forums

 

Bought this yesterday in the sale, trying to import the asset package in an empty project and I'm facing 2 errors:

Code (CSharp):

1. Assets/InventorySystem/Scripts/Other/BasicInterfaceImplementations/JsonCollectionSerializer.cs(40,64): error CS0234: The type or namespace name `DeserializeObject' does not exist in the namespace `SimpleJson'. Are you missing an assembly reference?
2. Assets/InventorySystem/Scripts/Other/BasicInterfaceImplementations/JsonCollectionSerializer.cs(44,47): error CS0021: Cannot apply indexing with [] to an expression of type `object'

Anything I can do to fix this so I can test the asset?
I'm running Unity 5.1.0f1.

 

It appears to be a unity 5.1 specific but, I don't have unity pro, so don't have access to the beta.
As a temporary fix you can remove the method's body of JsonCollectionSerializer.cs.
So, to fix:

1. Double click the error, or manually open the JsonCollectionSerializer.cs file
2. Replace the contents of the file with the code below:

Code (CSharp):

1. using System;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using System.Linq;
4. using System.Text;
5. using Devdog.InventorySystem.Integration.SimpleJson;
6. using Devdog.InventorySystem.Models;
7. using UnityEngine;
8.  
9. namespace Devdog.InventorySystem
10. {
11.   public class JsonCollectionSerializer : ICollectionSerializer
12.   {
13.   public byte[] SerializeItems(IList<Models.InventoryItemSaveLookup> toSerialize)
14.   {
15.   return null;
16.   }
17.  
18.   public byte[] SerializeItemReferences(IList<Models.InventoryItemReferenceSaveLookup> toSerialize)
19.   {
20.   return null;
21.   }
22.  
23.   public IList<Models.InventoryItemSaveLookup> DeserializeItems(byte[] data)
24.   {
25.   return null;
26.   }
27.  
28.   public IList<Models.InventoryItemReferenceSaveLookup> DeserializeItemReferences(byte[] data)
29.   {
30.   return null;
31.   }
32.   }
33. }

Obviously this will break serialization, but at least you'd be able to use the other features

 

Thanks for the quick reply, I'll first test the other stuff (in the meantime UT can make 5.1.0 public )

 

Hmm, getting this error when clicking on a box in demo scene 3.ItemEditor:

Code (CSharp):

1. NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
2. Devdog.InventorySystem.InventoryManager.CanAddItemCount (Devdog.InventorySystem.InventoryItemBase item) (at Assets/InventorySystem/Scripts/Managers/InventoryManager.cs:347)
3. Devdog.InventorySystem.InventoryManager.CanAddItem (Devdog.InventorySystem.InventoryItemBase item) (at Assets/InventorySystem/Scripts/Managers/InventoryManager.cs:340)
4. Devdog.InventorySystem.InventoryManager.AddItem (Devdog.InventorySystem.InventoryItemBase item, ICollection`1 storedItems, Boolean repaint) (at Assets/InventorySystem/Scripts/Managers/InventoryManager.cs:241)
5. Devdog.InventorySystem.InventoryItemBase.PickupItem (Boolean addToInventory) (at Assets/InventorySystem/Scripts/Items/InventoryItemBase.cs:477)
6. Devdog.InventorySystem.ObjectTriggererItem.PickupItem () (at Assets/InventorySystem/Scripts/Other/Triggerers/ObjectTriggererItem.cs:96)
7. Devdog.InventorySystem.ObjectTriggererItem.OnMouseDown () (at Assets/InventorySystem/Scripts/Other/Triggerers/ObjectTriggererItem.cs:55)
8. UnityEngine.SendMouseEvents:DoSendMouseEvents(Int32, Int32)

Looks like some initialisation issue.

 

Ah yep, your're right, in the last update the references to the inventory, equipment collection and skillbar moved to the player, to allow multi character support. Must have forgotten to update the scene.

To fix the issue, select the player and scroll to the InventoryPlayer component, and set the references to the inventories, that should fix the issue

 

Another inventory pro user who's using Unity 5.1 just mailed me a potential fix.
Replace line 40 in JsonCollectionSerializer.cs with:

var dict = (IDictionary<string, object>)Devdog.InventorySystem.Integration.SimpleJson.SimpleJson.DeserializeObject(json);

 

Hello there!, i love your inventory and the tutorials this far have been great, but as i have seen many people need what i need aswell, "equipping item > change texture of character (needs to be multi part so you can pick fx, hands, feet, chest or pants texture to switch) and ofcourse tooltips " thanks alot in advance! great great asset

 

Hi, jorisshh.
I have been using the Top-Down RPG Starter Kit.( https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/content/15552)
I want to save the game data without the EasySave2.
And I want to put skill icon from skill window slot to hotkeyslot of this InventorySystem.
What I should do ?

 

Hello everyone,

Just droping by to say that Inventory Pro now has NodeCanvas integration tasks
You can download them here.

Cheers!

 

In the video tutorial I did not see if you can create objects of different sizes, it is possible?
I mean 2-3 slot for one single item.
Thx and sorry for my poor english

 

Yep, makes sense, I've put it on my list

 

You can save collections using the SimpleCollectionSaverLoader component, it currently doesn't handle references (like the skillbar).

Not entirely sure what you mean by this?

 

Nope, not at the moment, currently only 1 slot items are possible. I've had this request a few times now, I'll ask the moderator to remove the poll, so that users can vote what they prefer to see next

 

Good afternoon. When you are done UFPS MULTIEPLAYER? Already very hunt to use your inventory

 

Yes, it is very necessary!

 

I found a couple of helmets and backpack on his back. Like all writing, they are free. I can throw, if needed. While that's all unfortunately = ((. I thought the Internet on this subject can be found greater.

 

I'm going through the docs and there seems to be no way to add multiple instances of an item to a character's inventory? I want my player to be able to buy something like 6 apples and add that to their inventory but it seems like I can only add one at a time, or is there something I'm missing here?

 

Sure you can you can add an item to a collection with myCollection.AddItem(myItem) and InventoryManager.AddItem(myItem) to "a" inventory (considers all inventories).

so to add multiple items:

Code (CSharp):

1. var myItem = GameObject.Instantiate<InventoryItemBase>(apple);
2. myItem.currentStackSize = 6;
3. InventoryManager.AddItem(myItem);

 

Updated language and settings editor

The new and improved language and settings editor, the search also searches through the values inside the settings for easy access


And settings

 

UFPS multiplayer is proving to be a bit of a pain in my ass . I'm working on it, but not entirely sure when it will be done.

It's a very nice system, but still in beta, so some bugs are to be expected.

 

Hi, jorisshh.
Thank you for your reply.
Is it possible to integrate the InventorySystem and Top-Down RPG Starter Kit( https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/content/15552)?

 

What I would love to see most is for you to expand into other areas beyond inventories. Like maybe create a series of modular assets for doing various things that all work together with Inventory Pro. Each module could be sold separately. Or maybe make some big full RPG maker system that would expand upon Inventory Pro and sell at a much higher price point.

Maybe you could include something like that in the poll if it interests you.

 

Certainly have been thinking about it , but the thing is, there are so many RPG systems out there already. Of course the best counter argument would be, there are also a lot of inventory systems on the store.

But the way I broke it down::
Assume you want to do quests, grab The Dialogue System, it's a solid and very advanced asset
If you want more RPG control you can use plyGame
If you want combat / ai, grab something like RAIN

So I have been considering it, but haven't really decided what I'd do with it.

 

I'm currently a bit swamped with features and integrations that I won't add any more for the near future. There's still a lot of features I wish to build into Inventory Pro itself, rather than link the basis to other systems

Of course implementing it yourself shouldn't be to hard, the RPG starter kit is event driven you could simply hook onto the events, and reroute them to Inventory Pro, maybe it has a data layer, etc?

 

Any chance to see this fix about vendor on mobile

 

I've created a new poll, please vote for the features you would like

 

Haven't got around to it yet, but I'll be sure to include it in the upcoming update

 

Hi, jorisshh.
Thank you for your advice.
I will try my best.

 

Finish UFPS multieplayer! ) It is very necessary . Way more fun to do things for strength . I do not know have it or not.

 

I did a bit of playtesting over the weekend, and I think some of the feedback will apply generally to anyone using this.

1) Font sizes need to be larger. On a 1080p screen, 10 and 12 point font looks tiny, and I observed a few players having to lean forward in order to read the inventory text. I've manually increased a lot of the font to 16 point in my build, but I had to resize a bunch of elements.

2) handle Escape properly. The expectation from all of my players was the Escape key would close any interrupting dialogues (i.e. the "how many do you want to sell" dialogue), then any open windows, then if nothing is open it would open an exit menu. I've had to dive in and modify a couple classes in order to handle this close to properly, since I created my exit menu using your classes.

3) (minor compared to first 2) It would be nice to get the InfoBox to show when hovering over an item that's been dropped to the ground, rather than having to pick it up then mouse over it in the inventory.

 

Hm.. the font size is actually quite readable on my screen, guess it comes down to PPI. Alternatively you could scale it on the Canvas, although this would scale the entire UI.


I'll look into it a bit more.

Yep, this is actually a more commonly requested feature, I've created a feature task of this at https://bitbucket.org/jjahuijbregts/inventorypro/issue/20/pressing-escape-to-close-dialogs-and

Also requested and dropped in bitbucket: https://bitbucket.org/jjahuijbregts/inventorypro/issue/21/tooltip-for-lootable-items

 

I love the tracking on these links, awesome!

 

Huh, didn't know you had issue tracking. The constant scale would also stretch out icons and whatnot, which I don't want to do.

Another thing that would be fairly easy to add to the vendor ui - automatic tabbing. most of the setup is already there, we'd just need to be able to run multiple item generators with different settings for different tabs. I'm probably going to wind up putting that together in the next couple of days myself, if I do I'll forward you the code.

 

And the tooltip you guys have been asking for

It can of course be disabled for those who don't like it, also you can enable / disable it for items that are out of range.

 

sweet! if that's a simple bit of code that'll work with the released version, would you mind PMing it to me?

 

Ah I've actually refactored some things to keep the code clean and consistent, so it's not just a single line of code I'm afraid . But not to worry the release cycle is almost to an end, likely pushing the update by the end of the week, worst case scenario start of the next.

Plus I've also added events for the ShowObjectTriggerer that the InfoBox / tooltip now uses.

 

Yes, there are lots of alternatives but the way you do things is special! Assets from other authors don't have the same kind of attention to detail that you provide, and trying to get things from a number of different authors all working together correctly is often problematic.

Also it doesn't have to be just RPG stuff. plyGame for example was originally going to have all sorts of different modules for different types of games, but that seems to have been abandoned.

Anyway, I hope you'll give it some further consideration. It would be a great thing for Unity and maybe make you a lot of money too!
