Do you need Unity 3 support?
« on: March 13, 2014, 02:09:36 AM »
I just noticed that handles don't work properly in Unity 3. When I start resizing the widget, weird stuff happens. Turns out that this is because Unity reports the Scene View dimensions when querying game camera's pixelWidth and pixelHeight. It seems to be only a bug in Unity 3, but it got me thinking... who here still needs Unity 3 support?

I for one am pretty tired of all the #if UNITY_3_5, hack it, otherwise do something properly statements all over my code. I want to clean up all that stuff and officially drop support for Unity 3. But before I do that, I wanted your opinion. Do you still need NGUI to support Unity 3, or can I focus on Unity 4?

Please make somewhat stable version for unity3 before ditching the support for it. I use unity3 because of my pro version and old projects. At least try to disable things that doesnt work in unity3 so that rest of us who still use u3 can update and use other things that do work

Thanks!

I've been for dropping unity3 support for a while, since it bloats the code and just ties your hands, but I think a "last unity3 version" is probably needed, so the poor souls stuck on unity 3 can use that until they upgrade.

All of my projects are on Unity4. However, I agree that you should just be very clear about it in the release notes and here that support will be ending. I'm sure some users will stomp their feet about their Unity3 projects, but it's not like Unity is supporting/updating Unity3 at this point. The old version of NGUI won't just stop working either. I think the bigger issue for dropping Unity3 support is that an old version of the plugin would still need to be supported. Either as a separate unitypackage (similar to the 2.7 upgrade tools) in the main download or another way would be important for these users for awhile.

So it seems no one is using Unity 3 anymore, eh?

I am… :-) still can't upgrade for several reasons. I understand you want to drop Unity3 support but please make a final stable version for unity3 or try to make it disable things automatically that don't work or something like that!
