NGUI update and projects with older version

[trollg]

Hello,

I am starting a new project and I consider trying the latest NGUI version. Will this affect in any way older projects that I have done using NGUI 2.6.4?
I dont want to update the NGUI version in these projects, since I have modified many NGUI scripts to fit my needs and losing that, would be a disaster.
I want to use the new version only in the new project. Should I do it?

Thanks

Make a snapshot of the old version and save on your own for your old projects and update for newer projects. The newer is better in every way.

Remember the Unitypackage from the asset store is put in C:\Users\accountName\AppData\Roaming\Unity\Asset Store\ so you can just grab the old one before upgrading and save to your own version control with the old projects.

Ok, I did it and it seems that there is no problem with the old projects running a different version.

Thanks

NGUI 2 to NGUI 3 upgrade can be a difficult one, especially if you had a lot of UI code to go with it. I made a video about it where I upgraded Starlink UI kit to NGUI 3 almost a year ago.

Is it worth it? Most certainly, unless your project is nearly done, in which case -- probably not.
