NGUI 3 Support / Re: Is NGUI still actively supported?

« on: February 03, 2018, 11:43:18 PM »

I chatted with Aren for a bit on Discord... sounds like that's his preferred communication method for anything that isn't already answered on the forum.  Here was the relevant part for my question about version compatibility:

Okay.  My main question is about Unity version support.  The current version on the Asset Store has been submitted with 2017.1.  Do you know of any issues with newer versions of Unity (I'm currently using Unity 2007.3)?

Aren - Today at 11:22 PM
i use a version that i tried with 2017.3
same one that's in the pro repository

ricke - Today at 11:27 PM
Okay, thanks for the information.  I assume that would be demonstrably the same as the Standard version as far as compatibility is concerned? :smiley:

Aren - Today at 11:27 PM
for the most part
i made some changes to the popup list class from what i recall

So it sounds like Unity 2017.3+ should be fine and if not, then I'd report it on Discord to him.

Are there any issues that anyone has run into with Unity 2017.3?  Any thoughts would be appreciated.  Thanks.

Seems like most of the current issues are platform specific.

My target platform is PC/Gameroom/Steam and have not noticed any problems when compiled.  I run the latest version of all assets.  I have seen weird red error messages when exiting editor-playmode... havent looked into them as they are a non-issue.

It is of concern that the author has not responded in 60+ days -- generally there is a response to posts within 2-3 days.  The TNet support guy appears to have vanished as well...

Thanks for the feedback.  I pinged Aren on the Discord channel to get his thoughts (I copied the link for this post in my message).  Perhaps he'll respond soon to give us more information.  If he responds directly to me, I'll post an update here.

So I'm looking for a UI solution for Unity and was thinking about getting NGUI.  Before I buy, I generally poke around the support forums, check out docs, tutorials, etc.  From what I can see on the forum, it seems like there's still plenty of activity.

However, seeing this thread gave me pause.    It seems feature complete (although I'm sure there's always more that could be added).  My main concern would be ongoing support for newer versions of Unity.  I'm using Unity 2017.3 and it has the latest supported version as 2017.1 on the Asset Store, correct?

Are there any issues that anyone has run into with Unity 2017.3?  Any thoughts would be appreciated.  Thanks.
