Title: Best way to keep your changes/additions to NGUI files unharmed, after upgrade?
Post by: vexe on October 27, 2013, 12:23:44 PM

Hi, when I upgraded to NGUI 3.0.2 from 2.6.4 - I had some extra stuff, in some NGUI files. For example a 'saturation' property in UIWidget, 'GetMouseClick' in NGUITools, etc. When I upgraded, of course, I have to copy paste the functionality and move it again to the new files. Not very efficient.

What's the best way to tackle this problem?

I guess, maybe for the saturation, I could have some extension methods, like a static class UIWidgetExtensions, and put the stuff there in a separate file so that it won't get harmed?

But what about, static functions, like the one I had NGUITools.GetMouseClick - Extension methods won't work here, so I guess, I have to create my NGUIUtility and put my stuff there?

or...?

Thanks for any tips :)

You can extend and override and make your own Utils class, or you can pay for the NGUI professional licence - it gives you access to the github repository and you can branch your own NGUI off it and pull the version changes when they are released.

I overwrite NGUI with new updates and check the SVN log of the changes and splice my own changes back in before committing it.
