NGUI 3 Support / Re: UIAtlasMaker exception

« on: March 04, 2014, 05:17:55 PM »

So I just got this issue today. It seems to have sorted itself out, so I can only supply what I 'think' I did, and what I think might potentially be the issue.

Here's the original story:
My textures were of Texture Type: GUI
My resulting atlas was of 2k x 4k (considered 'large' when it gets to around 4k)
It would halt on the updating bar while also throwing the error about Texture2D.

Here were 2 things I did that seemed to fix it (not suggesting it's the solution, just saying that after I did these, it worked. Might  be a clue):
I changed my textures to be of type Advanced and made sure Non power of 2 was set to None.
I added one less texture so that my resulting atlas was only of size 2k x 2k

I'm not using Uni2D or anything like that. I'm on the latest version of Unity and NGUI - or at the very least, on a very recent version.

Hope this helps. Cheers.

EDIT:

Completely disregard what I said. Apparently this still happens.

However I can confirm that clicking the Add/Update All button again after it was halting on the Updating progress bar did in fact complete the Atlas.

NGUI 3 Support / Re: Animating panel alpha through Unity

Previous versions of NGUI allowed animating the mAlpha property, so the reason it shows up in the editor is probably because it was set up before updating.

I personally preferred it when you could animate it using the property in UIPanel.

I'd like to suggest these two improvements to make AnimatedAlpha a little nicer to use:

Add a [Range(0, 1)] tag to alpha so that you get a nice draggable interface in the editor
Add [ExecuteInEditMode] to the class so you can see fading changes while playing and debugging animations in the editor

Apart from some strange changes, recent updates have been great I personally really like the addition of nested panels being affected by the alpha of its parent. Much needed addition!
