NGUI/Open/Atlas Maker does not show the atlas maker!!!

[samshosho]

Just got the new update from the asset store, and yes i did a clean install, removed the old version and then imported the new one.
When i go to NGUI menu, then Open, Then Atlas Maker,,, nothing shows !!! So i can't make an atlas, and i can't add or remove from an atlas.
Also, widget Wizard and UI Wizard, do the same thing, nothing shows when clicked.

The rest are fine, they show the pop up window and you can work on it just as usual.

Let me know how to fix this, or another way to show the window of Atlas Maker, Widget Wizard and UI Wizard.

Thanks,

If you have any errors in the console, menu items won't work. You must resolve the errors first.

Also, you don't need to use the Widget Wizard anymore. Just drag & drop control prefabs directly into your scene (search for "Wooden" for some starter controls).

[samshosho]

I don't have any errors in the console.
Also, i said some work and some don't. So clearly if some work, then there is no errors in the console.

Never that i asked you for a help, that you answered in a good manner. Always something wrong with everyone but not your package?

Hope you can help with this one, up until now i didn't leave a review on the asset store, but so far your support sucks !
sorry to say that, but it does.

I had this problem with the Widget Wizard.

In my case it was a Unity Window problem.

Try going into Window -> Layout -> Revert Factory Settings

Hope that helps.


Ps. I've always found that support has been excellent!

[samshosho]

Didn't do anything!
Just lost my layouts!

Thanks for trying to help.

I can't do anything with NGUI without being able to open the atlas and add my sprits!!!

I am sorry, but waiting two days to get one reply is not acceptable.
I would consider this package to be a loss, and will never get anything else from you. Plus i am heading to the asset store to leave you a review that you and your package deserve!

No need to get upset. It would help if you provided some more details to go on. The "window doesn't open!" isn't overly descriptive as it does open for everyone else. NGUI opens the atlas maker window exactly the same way as it opens every other window, and the only reason why menu items wouldn't work is the error in the console log, which is why I suggested it. NGUI doesn't conspire against you and doesn't hate you, but it is limited by what Unity does, and as npritchard pointed out sometimes your layout can break it. If even reverting the layouts didn't make it possible to open the window, then that issue is something unique to your computer, and all I can do is help you via remote desktop if you're up for that.

P.S. Just read your "review". That was uncalled for.

Okay, i hope you can help me on this.

When i touch an NGUI button, that suppose to set active to an NGUI sprite or NGUI button, the whole GUI blinks.
This is first problem.

Seconds problem,
When i set active to one or more NGUI UI items, such as Sprites and Buttons, then hide them with Set Active (false), if i try to set them active again, nothing shows on the screen , until i touch a place where a button suppose to be, then the whole items would show.

For example, i have a menu with few buttons and sprites, then when a button is touched, i switch to another menu with different sprites and buttons, now everything is fine, if i touch back button to go to the first menu items, nothing shows up, everything disappears! until i touch a place where a button is suppose to be, then the whole menu gui shows.

[samshosho]

Any help ?

Regarding the blinking there can be two causes. If you're using the latest released version (f7) then the first cause is already fixed. The second cause is currently addressed in the Pro version, but since it's not out yet, you can address it by doing targetGO.Broadcast("CreatePanel"), where 'targetGO' is the game object you're activating.

If you're not doing it via code, then you can address it by modifying NGUITools.SetActive function to the following:

1.         static public void SetActive (GameObject go, bool state)
2.         {
3.                 if (go)
4.                 {
5.                         if (state)
6.                         {
7.                                 Activate(go.transform);
8. #if UNITY_EDITOR
9.                                 if (Application.isPlaying)
10. #endif
11.                                         go.BroadcastMessage("CreatePanel", SendMessageOptions.DontRequireReceiver);
12.                         }
13.                         else
14.                         {
15.                                 Deactivate(go.transform);
16.                         }
17.                 }
18.         }

Re: second problem -- are you using NGUITools.SetActive, or gameObject.SetActive? You should use the former.

[samshosho]

the new version on the asset store is 3.0.6 f1 , not f7 ?!
will give that a try and let you know.

[samshosho]

as to sending message to the GO being activated, i have panels with ton's of GOs underneath it, with 3d models that go very deep in the hierarchy, so having to send message to all that is not very efficient.

You said you fixed the problem, but haven't released it yet, why don't you give me the line of code and i can fix it, or send me the script that needed to be fixed.

That's if it's as simple as fixing one script or two.

Still testing the send message, will let you know.

[samshosho]

didn't fix the problem, exact same thing.

Whole GUI goes away, but if i touch a place where a button suppose to be, then it reappears.
Why don't you give me a line of code to call, that simulate touching a button (hovering) not actually registering a touch. Then i can call that, just for the menu to appear for now, until you get a good fix.

The latest NGUI public release is 3.0.6 f7, not f1. And that's the version that's on the Asset Store.

[ArenMook]

With the latest version (f7), and the function replacement I posted (NGUITools.SetActive), all you need to do to activate something is:

1. NGUITools.SetActive(targetObject, true);

[samshosho]

The latest NGUI public release is 3.0.6 f7, not f1. And that's the version that's on the Asset Store.

just download and imported the latest version, but in the import panel it said 3.0.6 f1 , it's not our subject anyway.
