How do I check which version of nGUI I have?
How do I update?
-
Find version: Look at the readme file, it will have the version in the name and also inside at the top
How to update: Directly through the asset store. Find NGUI and there will be a button to update it (Assuming there is an update available)
-
In fact in the readme, they are telling you what you should do to update :
If you have a Standard Edition:
1. In Unity, File -> New Scene
2. Delete the NGUI folder from the Project View.
3. Import NGUI from the updated Unity Package.

I found NGUI on the asset store, but there is no update button. My version of NGUI is 2.2.7c and it is located in my Assets folder.
-
Update button shows up on the Asset Store when you navigate to the NGUI package's page.
-
I navigated to the NGUI package page in the asset store and only got a Buy button. Screenshot attached.

Wow, I would have never guessed that was an update button. Thanks for your help!
-
I spoke too soon... I was unable to find an update for NGUI in the update page.
-
Are you sure you're logged in to the Asset Store window as the same user that bought NGUI originally?
-
Now that you mention it, I think I just bought it on tasharen.com via PayPal. I just thought that the Asset Store would recognize NGUI in my project. If I can't update through the Asset Store, then is there another way to update?
-
PayPal version send you a link. This link always points to the latest version. The automated email you received at the time of your purchase tells you of this, and asks you to keep the link safe.

Hi Aren,
I update my NGUI last week.
On my file list I have the ReadMe version 2.2.6c but if I open it I find " NGUI: Next-Gen UI kit Copyright � 2011-2012 Tasharen Entertainment Version 2.3.1 ..." (the same in the Version History: 2.3.1) .
On the store the current version is numbered as 2.6.1e as mentioned here on the forum (Latest Version: 2.6.1e) but it didn't tells me to update... maybe it's the version I downloaded last week. Am I right?
So many numbers O_O
Tks in advance ;)
-
If the readme file is called "ReadMe - 2.2.6c.txt" and when you open it inside you see "2.3.1" then you are not following upgrading instructions explained in this same readme file. It's "read me" for a reason. -_-

Ok Aren... (taking a embarrassed breath) I never read the readme -_-' just "updated" from the asset store - I never thought I needed to cancel the old version.
I'm VERY sorry to have taken your time.. but lesson learned!
( So, if we ever meet, I will pay you a beer! -_^ )

Sorry to revive this thread.
Followed the instructions to update from 2.6.1e to 2.6.2
I updated once and it worked fine but had to revert back on SVN. When I reload the scene with 2.6.1e again everything is fine. Now when I update by creating a new scene, deleting the old NGUI (or overwriting the old), updating from the asset store and going back to the game scene all the Mono links are broken.
I have tried this process about 10 times now and the same result every time. Is there anything within the update process that can cause this to happen?

If you've moved the NGUI files from the root that *can* happen.
If you don't have meta files activated, that will definitely happen.
Try doing it like this:
Open an empty scene (Ctral+n)
Don't delete the existing NGUI.
Goto asset store, update.
Import everything except examples (unless you need them).
when completed. Save project.
Restart unity.
-
The method of updating stated in the readme that asks you to delete NGUI from your project and reimport it sounds quite destructive to any scenes using NUGI doesn't it? Or am I getting something wrong?
-
Starting the new scene is key. It ensures that NGUI is not referenced, allowing you to remove it and import it from an updated package safely.
-
Great... I updated NGUI how it was described in the readme file - and now my prefabs are gone :(
To all the newbies out there (like me):
Always make sure to save your prefabs in your own prefab folder. I assume dragging the prefab into the prefab toolbar saved it into the NGUI folder - which I have deleted. Oh and make sure you backup often. (I suggest on a daily base.)

Oh jeez, Johanna that's rough. I hope you learned a valuable lesson about version control. Even in a project you only do yourself, it's an invaluable tool. https://bitbucket.org/ is a nice free one.
