NG Tools

1 Usage

1.1 NG Console

NG Console is like Unity's Console, but way more efficient. Based on modules, each module brings a feature that might be useful to you. Below is the explanation of each built-in modules.

Base features

All features from the native Console (NG Console is strongly linked to the Console, all primary features are sync'ed):

Intercept logs from Unity Console Any logs entering Unity console are catched and displayed in NG Console as well.
Clear Clear the console.
Collapse Logs are stacked, reducing number of visible logs. (Note that this option is only available in the main Stream log. See after.)
Break on error Break the game when an error occurred.
Clear on play Clear the console whenever the user starts to play.
Persistent logs Logs are saved during the session of Unity (Saved between serializer's passes).
All types log All types can be toggled (Normal, Warning, Error).
Auto-scroll Stick the scrollbar to the bottom when new logs come if the scrollbar was already stick to the bottom.

Additional features

Type log exception Error is split between Error and Exception. They are totally dissociated.
Interactive stack trace Display all frames from the stack trace. Each frame is clickable if the file is editable.
- Colored source code preview When the mouse hovers a stack frame, if the file is reachable in your hard disk, the source code is displayed in colors.
- Folder pingable Directly ping folder by clicking on it in the stack frame.
- Discard frame You can choose to discard particular namespace, class or function from the stack frames. Use it to filter out your custom logger.
Advanced copy Copy the first line of the selected logs or its full content or the whole stack trace.
Log icon An icon representing the emitter is drawn just after the log's foldout if a context is provided. Clicking on it will ping the object.
Time Logs can display the time, but only when it was received by NG Console, therefore a little delay might be detected. (Thus, the time is not reliable!)
Drag If you provide a context to the logger, you can drag it from the log in NG Console.
Multi selection You can select many logs.
Multi copy You can copy from all selected logs, it will append each log in the clipboard.
Multi deletion You can temporary delete selected logs, unfortunately it is not persistent between Unity serializer's passes.
Modular context menu Context menu on log is modular. Any module or filter can implement a its menu item extension.
Export logs Export all logs from a stream in your desired format. There are many options using the export wizard, giving all keys to export to your own format.

1.1.1 Module

A module implements any behaviour you might will. Easy to implement new features or to interact with others.

Main module Mimics the native Unity console. It displays incoming logs through streams. It separates normal logs and compiler's in different stream.
- Stream log You can create many streams to display logs. Each streams can be customized to display specific logs depending on filters.
  - Log
    - A log is the content you write to the console. But there are many ways to display a log. Beside the default log just containing a message and a context, NG Console provides extra functions to output logs in different ways.
    - See: How to implement a Log (called as Row in the engine).
    - See: Additional loggers.
  - Filter
    - A filter accepts or rejects incoming logs regarding its condition.
    - ContentFilter accepts logs by matching a keyword in it.
    - HierarchyFilter accepts logs coming from a GameObject or its children.
    - MaskTypeFilter accepts logs matching a type (Normal, Warning, Error or Exception).
    - NameHierarchyFilter accepts logs by matching a keyword with log's Object's name.
    - TagFilter accepts logs coming from GameObject with a certain tag.
    - See: How to implement a filter.
Archive module Logs can be archived, each archived log can be assigned a note and put in folders.
- Folder You can create many folders and name them. Drag & drop archived logs between folders to keep a neat archive place.
Color Markers module Colors log's background regarding markers' filters and color. You can also add temporary background color. These disappear after compilation.
Remote module (Command Line Interface) Implemented especially for NG CLI, allowing NG Console to be able to receive logs from a remote Unity build. Also, if the distant build has activate CLI, you will be able to remotely execute commands on the build.

See: How to implement a Module for NG Console.

1.1.2 Editor openers (Only for those who got problems with Unity console's `Go to line`)

NG Console can natively open any of the following editors with the Go to line feature:

VisualStudio
MonoDevelop
Sublime 2
Notepad++
Vim
Emacs

If your editor is missing, you can technically implement it yourself, since NG Console uses the same technic as Unity, otherwise just ask for it, I will be pleased to give you assistance!

Some numbers

CPU Footprint Can handle 1M and certainly even more, way more!
Memory Footprint With all the features brought by NG Console, it only takes 1.5 times the memory of Unity console.

See: Look at NG Console's settings in NG Settings.

1.1.3 Loggers

NG Console provides the debug class NGDebug containing many useful loggers.

NGDebug.LogHierarchy(GameObject gameObject)
NGDebug.LogHierarchy(Component component)
NGDebug.LogHierarchy(RaycastHit hit)

Writes the hierarchy of the given Object, as a list of pingable button for each parent.

NGDebug.Log(params Object[] objects)
NGDebug.Log(params RaycastHit[] hits)
NGDebug.LogCollection(IEnumerable<RaycastHit> hits)
NGDebug.LogCollection<T>(IEnumerable<T> objects)

Writes a log containing a pingable button for each reachable object of the given list. Use it with GetComponents() to instantly have a visible list of all components in NG Console.

NGDebug.Snapshot(object o)
NGDebug.Snapshot(object o, Object context)
NGDebug.Snapshot(object o, BindingFlags bindingFlags)
NGDebug.Snapshot(object o, BindingFlags bindingFlags, Object context, string suffix = null)

Outputs all fields and properties matching the BindingFlags from the given object to the console.

NGDebug.SnapshotToString(object o)
NGDebug.SnapshotToString(object o, Object context)
NGDebug.SnapshotToString(object o, BindingFlags bindingFlags)
NGDebug.SnapshotToString(object o, BindingFlags bindingFlags, Object context, string suffix = null)
NGDebug.SnapshotToString(object o, BindingFlags bindingFlags, Object context, string prefix, string suffix)

Returns all fields and properties matching the BindingFlags from the given object in a readable way.

NGDebug.StaticSnapshot<T>()
NGDebug.StaticSnapshot(Type type)

Outputs all fields and properties from the given Type to the console.

NGDebug.StaticSnapshotToString(Type type)

Returns all fields and properties from the given Type in a readable way.

NGDebug.Snapshots<T>(IEnumerable<T> enumerable, int offset, Object context)
NGDebug.Snapshots<T>(IEnumerable<T> enumerable, int offset, BindingFlags bindingFlags, Object context = null)
NGDebug.Snapshots<T>(IEnumerable<T> enumerable, int offset, int count, Object context)
NGDebug.Snapshots<T>(IEnumerable<T> enumerable, int offset = 0, int count = int.MaxValue, BindingFlags bindingFlags = BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance, Object context = null)

Outputs all fields and properties matching the BindingFlags of all elements from the given collection to the console.

NGDebug.LogJSON(string message, string json, Object context = null)
NGDebug.LogJSON(string json, Object context = null)

Displays a convenient representation of a JSON string. Will gracefully handle parsing error.

NGDebug.LogTags(string message, params string[] tags)

Outputs a log with specific tags. Can be use with filters to easily keep/discard logs in a stream.

NGDebug.MTLog(string message)
NGDebug.MTLog(string message, Object context)

Writes a log containing the stack trace. Useful when writing logs in multi-threads context.

1.2 NG Game Console

1.2.1 NG Game Console

Runs a console window in-game displaying incoming logs and additional data. Data might be anything you want to display about your scene, your environment, your game, your hardware, your metrics, etc...

There is 2 tabs, Logs and Data:

Logs displays logs and has a header filled with short data version. Logs possesses 2 terminal modes:
- Raw Text displays logs as plain text.
- Logs displays logs as real separated entities.
Data displays a list of all data in their complete version.

How To Use: Drop the script NG Game Console on a GameObject. If you want to add data to the console, add any script inheriting from DataConsole on a GameObject and put it in NG Game Console's field "Data Console".

See: How to implement a DataConsole for NG Game Console.

1.2.1.1 Activator

An activator is a simple script that handles opening NG Game Console.

How To Use: Drop an activator and make sure the UnityEvent "Action" has "NGGameConsole.enabled" set to true.

Note: NG Game Console contains 2 built-ins activators: FourCornersActivator and CircleActivator.

1.2.2 NG CLI

NG CLI allows to type and execute commands in the game.

There is 2 ways to use it:

By linking it to a NG Game Console, NG CLI provides an input at the bottom of the console to type commands.
Through an instance of NG Server Command, it allows you to execute commands via network from the module Remote in NG Console.

Commands are exposed through NG CLI's field "Root Commands". Fill this field with any Behaviour. Every properties (with both Get and Set) and methods with the attribute CommandAttribute will be exposed as sub-commands of the Behaviour.

How To Use:

Drop the script NG CLI on a GameObject.
Assign the field "Game Console" in NG CLI with a script NG Game Console.

How To Use (With Network):

Drop the script NG Server Command on a GameObject.
Assign the field "Cli" with a script NG CLI.
See: How to setup a server.

See: How to implement a root command for NG CLI.

See: Refer to the class CommandAttribute for more informations.

See: Look for network guidances if you encounter issues.

1.2.3 NG Server Command

NG Server Command grants the possibility to send debug logs to module Remote in NG Console. If field Cli is assigned, module Remote is allowed to remotely type and execute commands.

How To Use:

Drop the script NG Server Command on a GameObject.
See: How to setup a server.

See: Demo scene NGGameConsoleCLI to see an example of NG Game Console, NG CLI and NG Server Command.

See: Look for network guidances if you encounter issues.

1.3 NG Remote Scene

A powerful tool to modify the scene on your device, but from Unity Editor itself!

With NG Remote Scene you can easily test many configurations on your build and rapidly iterate without the need to rebuild, copy, launch, test.

NG Remote Scene was built to work from an empty project on any device with NG Remote Scene embedded. Meaning you do not need to have the project or any script to have it working, because everything is simulated.

How To Use:

Drop the script NG Server Scene on a GameObject.
See: How to setup a server.

See: Demo scene NGRemoteScene to see an example of NG Remote Scene.

See: Look for network guidances if you encounter issues.

1.3.1 NG Remote Hierarchy

Equivalent of Hierarchy window in Unity Editor. This is the base window from where you connect to the device, change settings, change global behaviours of NG Remote Scene.

It supports base features of Hierarchy window:

List full hierarchy
Drag & Drop
Filtering
Delete GameObject

Options

Network Refresh: An interval in second between each send of packets.
Sync Tags: Defines if you choose to use the tags in your current project or let an input text.

Server auto-detection

Your device will be automatically detected if it is running in the same network as your Unity Editor.

Click on "X server" to show a popup of the available devices, just click on any of the entry to connect and start a remote session.

The entry syntax is as following:

[DEVICE_NAME] [IP]:[PORT] (vC[CORE_VERSION], vRS[REMOTE_VERSION])

vC and vRS defines the versions used by the device. If your versions are different, NG Remote Scene will warn you and you might potentially encounter issues.

Note: You can technically have many NG Remote Hierarchy. But it is not tested.

1.3.2 NG Remote Inspector

Equivalent of Inspector window in Unity Editor. An NG Remote Inspector is associated to a NG Remote Hierarchy. From there, you can change any value of a GameObject or a Component and see the result on your device. It supports materials and shaders editing as well.

Inspector: Display almost the same content as Unity's Inspector in the same way.

Batch Mode: Most packets affecting Component or GameObject are batched. Batches can be saved and reapplied at any time. (They are not persistent! If you compile or restart Unity they will disappear.)

Historic: Displays packets sent to the server.

It supports almost all features of Inspector window:

Active: A checkbox to toggle GameObject's active state.
Name: An input to change GameObject's name.
IsStatic: A checkbox to toggle GameObject's static state.
Tag: A popup to change GameObject's tag. Look at NG Remote Hierarchy's options to change the behaviour.
Layer: A popup to change GameObject's layer.
List all Component: A list of every Component and their fields.
- Almost all types are supported: Char, Byte, SByte, Int16, Int32, UInt16, UInt32, Single, Double, String, UnityEngine.Object, array, List<>, struct and class. Int64 and UInt64 are supported but only in Unity 5. Decimal is not supported, since Unity Editor does not support it at all.
Drag & Drop Object: Allows to drag & drop GameObject from NG Remote Hierarchy into Object field, and also between fields. Note that because the type might be unknown, you might be able to drag Object into any fields without harming the build.
Copy Component: Copies all values of a Component, like Unity's Inspector. It requires the C# Type to be present in your project!
Delete Component: Delete a Component, like Unity's Inspector.
Materials: List all materials and their shaders' properties.

Material & Shader

From NG Remote Inspector you can change a Material's shader. The shaders available are those embarked into the build by Unity. You can add your own by pressing the button "Scan" at the right of the field "Shaders" in the script NG Remote Scene. It will embed all the shaders available in your project into the build.

1.3.3 NG Remote Project

Embed any assets you want to test. In normal case, Unity would embed the bare necessities only.

In field "NG Remote Project Assets" of NG Server Scene, you can force which assets you want to add to the build. After you have chosen all the assets, click on "References Resources".

When connected with the remote scene, connect with the button "Connect" on the top-right of NG Remote Project.

Options

Auto Load: It loads the embed assets as soon as it can. Disable it to avoid unwanted packet from NG Remote Project.

1.3.4 NG Remote Static Inspector

Documentation not written yet.

1.3.5 NG Remote Camera

Camera: Move through your entire scene as if you were moving in a scene window. Pick which Camera you want to see through. When watching from the ghost camera, you can anchor it to any collider on the scene, to make it follow it. (A car, a plane, a bullet, a player, etc...)

Click on the picture to ask for a raycast and the server will reply with a list of colliders. It is pretty useful when you want to select a particular Game Object on the scene without having to look for it in NG Remote Hierarchy, because the list is pingable.

Modules: List modules used by NG Remote Camera. A module represents a data transferred between the build and your Unity. It can be disable if you don't want it to run. There is 4 built-ins data modules. The main for the image, one for the touch, the keyboard, the mouse. You can implement your own for any controller or metrics or gameplay data.

The data received is saved and used by NG Replay. From NG Replay you can see your data (You display it the way you want), it is particularly useful for a bug report, as you have the video and the inputs for each frame.

Export Replay: Export your current feed to NG Replay.

Connect: Open a connection with the ghost camera.

See: How to implement a CameraDataModule for NG Remote Camera.

Options

Record Duration: Last seconds recorded to export to NG Replay.
Target FPS: Number of images per second requested to the build. Gauge yourself if your mobile can handle more or less.
Camera Settings: The settings used by the ghost camera in your scene.

1.3.6 NG Replay

Save and watch your replays as much as you want with NG Replay. Start a feed with NG Remote Camera, export the feed to NG Replay and analyze what happened on your scene. Like a video, you can play it or watch it frame by frame, change the speed, toggle modules, see what keys were pressed or where was the mouse on the screen.

Save a replay and share it with anyone who possess NG Tools.

1.4 NG Draggable Object

Replaces the default drawer for any Unity's Object. It grants you the ability to drag & drop in the Inspector an Object from a field to another field.

NG Draggable Object is smart, when you drag a GameObject into a field, it will display you all its Component matching the field's type instead of assigning the first one like Unity does.

Furthermore, when you drag a Component into a field with an unmatching type, it applies the behaviour described just previously.

When there is more than one Component matching the field's type, a label "#N" is display at the left of the field, with N the position of the Component in the GameObject. Right-click on the field to switch to another Component from the same GameObject.

See: Look at NG Draggable Object's settings in NG Settings.

1.5 NG Fav

Saves your selections in NG Fav. Any GameObject or asset can be saved, even runtime GameObject!

Runtime GameObject defines an entity that you create after pressing Play. A hero, some bullets, an item, a path, a mountain, a card, etc...

When you stop playing, the runtime GameObject is destroyed, so is its reference in NG Fav. But there is a simple way to remember the reference, you must implement the interface IResolver in one script of the GameObject.

Each selection can be pinged or selected by clicking on it or by pressing the shortcut (For the first 10 selections, Shift + F1 to F10).

Add new selection by right-clicking on any GameObject or any assets and click on "Add Selection". Else, drag & drop your selection into NG Fav to create a new one, or drop it on an existing selection to append to it.

Delete one element of your favorite by pressing Shift + Control then click on the object.

NG Fav can have many profiles of favorites. Use it to have a specific list of favorites between projects and scenes or any other context.

See: How to implement an IResolver for NG Fav.

See: Look at NG Fav's settings in NG Settings.

1.6 NG Inspector Gadget

A gathering of tiny tools, to slightly improve your experience in Unity's Inspector.

1.6.1 Reorder Components

Adds the entry "Reorder Components" in context menu of Component in Inspector.

Click on it to open a little wizard allowing you to easily reorder Component in the GameObject.

1.6.2 Clone Component

Adds the entry "Clone Component" in context menu of Component in Inspector.

Click on it to clone the current Component and append the new one rightafter the current one.

1.7 NG Prefs

Changes any values from EditorPrefs or PlayerPrefs.

Add, change and delete any keys.

Display a list of all data, filter by keys, refresh the whole list or clear them all!

Implement your own Prefs manager if you have particular requirements when it is about Prefs.

See: How to implement a PrefsManager for NG Prefs.

1.8 NG Hierarchy Enhancer

Whenever you hover over a GameObject with your mouse in Hierarchy window, an NG icon appears. Pass over it to deploy a menu.

The menu will call the method OnHierarchyGUI() from each script on the GameObject.

The menu dynamically generates GUI regarding scripts on it. The purpose of that is to display, change or action anything you want from Hierarchy without selecting the GameObject and then alter the value through the Inspector. Like a shortcut.

You can color the background of your GameObject and append an icon to it by changing the layers' color and texture in NG Settings. The background will effectively be drawn only if the alpha is higher than 0! Do not forget to set the alpha.

See: Look at NG Hierarchy Enhancer's settings in NG Settings.

See: How to implement Hierarchy GUI for NG Hierarchy Enhancer.

1.9 NG Nav Selection

Any selection you do from Hierarchy and Project windows are memorized.

Buttons "Previous" and "Next" on your mouse allow you to switch the current selection. Unfortunately this feature is only available on Windows.

Note: This is different from Undo and Redo. In fact, if you Undo in Unity, you will cancel the last thing you have done, if it was a selection, you will switch to your penultimate selection, for everything else, it will be canceled. NG Nav Selection only focus on the selection.

See: Look at NG Nav Selection's settings in NG Settings.

1.10 NG Hub

NG Hub gathers shortcuts. It contains several built-ins tools to achieve your tasks in a faster manner.

Tasks like opening Player, Physics, Quality windows, having the Time.scale always on screen, shortcuts to any assets or scenes.

By default, NG Hub is a simple window, but it can be docked at the top of your Unity Editor. This way, you don't have to bother yourself to put it in any window and you will finally use a wasted place, don't you think?

Right-click to open the contextual menu. From there you can edit/add new components or dock/undock NG Hub.

As always, you can implement your own component if you have specific needs.

See: How to implement HubComponent for NG Hub.

1.11 NG Assets Finder

Look for all references of an asset in your scene or your project. The result gives a very accurate position of the references, in which asset or GameObject, the field, the position in the array, if nested or not.

How To Use: Pick an asset in the Object field "Find Asset". Set the options and click on "Search References".

How To Use: Click on the button at the left of the field "Find Asset" to toggle replacement. 2 buttons will appear at the bottom. "Replace References" will only replace the reference if the reference is the one in "Find Asset". "Set all References" will set all the references.

The options are quite simple.

Click on "Scene" to enable/disable the search in the current scene.
- List of GameObject. Drag & drop GameObject in this area to narrow down the search in the scene.
Click on "Project" to enable/disable the search in the project.
- You have 3 mains options:
  - "Asset": Search through any asset except prefabs and scene.
  - "Prefab": Search into prefabs.
  - "Scene": Search into scenes. This option is disabled when Object in "Find Asset" is in the scene.
- List of folders. Drag & drop files or folders in this area to narrow down the search in the project.

Tip: Right-click on any asset in Project and click on "Search Asset".

Tip: Right-click on any GameObject in Hierarchy and click on "Search Game Object".

Tip: Right-click on any Component in Inspector and click on "Search Component".

1.12 NG Shader Finder

Look for any Material using a given Shader. This is useful to know who is using a Shader or if you want to replace a Shader by a new one.

How To Use: Pick a Shader in the Object field "Find Shader" and click on "Search all Material".

How To Use: Click on the button at the left of the field "Find Shader" to toggle replacement. 2 buttons will appear at the bottom. "Replace" will only replace the reference if the reference is the one in "Find Shader". "Set all" will set all the references.

Tip: Right-click on any Material or Shader in Project and click on "Search Material using this Shader".

1.13 NG Components Inspector

Compare 2 Component side by side.

How To Use:

Right-click on any Component in Inspector and click on "Add to NG Components Inspector". Component will be saved in a historic.
Left-click on any entity of the historic to set the left Component.
Right-click on any entity of the historic to set the right Component.
The button "No custom Editor" will force the use of a default rendering instead of an Editor if there is one.

1.14 NG Missing Script Recovery

Recover missing scripts from a GameObject or in your entire project. Note that this tool can only works on prefab.

When fixing missing scripts, NG Missing Script Recovery digs in the prefab's file to find fields to match with a potential Type. In the worst case, there will be no field at all, thus the missing script can not be recovered.

Potential Type are displayed with their matching score, score relying on matching fields.

NG Missing Script Recovery contains an automatic recovery. Inside tab Project in the window, you can click on Scan to look for every missing scripts in your project. You can trigger the automatic recovery to let NG Missing Script Recovery recovers each case it can.

Automatic recovery contains the following options:

Recovery Mode: Automatic or Manual
- Automatic will let NG Missing Script Recovery automatically recovers each case when one perfect match is found.
- Manual will let you recover each case, one by one.
Promp On Pause: When automatic recovery is triggered, Unity will pop an alert when a case can not be fixed.
Use Cache: Each fix is cached and will be use by the automatic recovery to manage similar missing scripts.
Supa Fast: When recovering, Unity won't display any feedback and will focus more on completing the recovery as fast as possible.
Recovery Log File: Path of file where the recovery will be logged. You can find all fixes done by automatic recovery ONLY, manual fixing is not logged!

1.15 NG Sync Folders

Synchronize slave folders with a master folder.

This is useful when working on multiple copies of a project.

Master Folder: The master defines the primary folder on which each slave must be synchronized.

Relative Path: A relative path can be append on each master/slave folder. Use it to work relatively from folders. e.g set master with C:\abc\def\UnityProject, relative path with Assets\Scenes or else. This avoid the process of potentially a lot of unwanted files/folders.

Slaver Folder: Slave defines the folder that must match the master.

Inclusive Filters: If there is at least one filter, each file matching an inclusive filter will be included, others are rejected. If there is none, filtering is not applied.

Exclusive Filters: Each file matching an exclusive filter will be discarded.

Use Cache: Scanned files are cached, use it for efficiency.

1.16 NG Component Replacer

Tool not finished yet. Maybe one day.

1.17 NG Renamer

Rename multiple files all at once.

How To Use: You can select assets in Hierarchy or Project.

How To Use: Drag & drop any assets or even folders from Explorer/Finder.

NG Renamer contains many filters to rename assets.

See: How to implement TextFilter for NG Renamer.

See: Refer to the class TextFilter for more informations.

1.18 NG Scenes

NG Scenes displays 3 areas:

Recent Scenes: The last loaded scenes.
All Scenes: All the scenes found in the project.
Build Scenes: Scenes embedded in build.

How To Use: Hover any scene in Recent Scenes or All Scenes to display a menu on the right. Open the menu to ping or load the scene (single, additively or additively without loading).

How To Use: Drag & drop any scene in Build Scenes to change the order.

How To Use: Drag & drop from Recents Scenes or All Scenes or drop any Scene asset into Build Scenes.

You can also save the Build Scenes in profiles and load them whenever you want.

On the top-right corner lie 2 buttons:

Load profile: Lists all the profiles available in your settings, here you can load them.
List: Lists all the profiles available in your settings, here you can create a new profile, save, modify or delete any existing profile.

1.19 NG Spotlight

Documentation not written yet.

1.20 NG Static Inspector

Documentation not written yet.

1.21 NG Settings

All settings from all tools in NG Tools are gathered in NG Settings which saves almost everything in EditorPrefs or in an asset in the project. It is the equivalent of Unity's Preferences, but more advanced and modular.

Using the asset file, it is automatically exportable. Also, because it lives in an asset, you can easily create many settings files and switch between them seamlessly.

NG Console
- Fine-grained settings Almost all settings in NG Console can be changed.
- Fine-grained editors' extensions You can choose which executable must open which extension.
- Themes Overwrites visual settings in your settings.
- Presets Overwrites behaviour settings in your settings.

See: How to implement your own settings in NG Settings.

1.22 Additional Tools

Here will be described independent tools not relying on any of the previous tools above.

1.22.1 ScriptableObject Creator

If you give attention to details, you might have noticed the new entry "Scriptable Object" in the menu Assets/Create.

Often people ask for a tool to easily create ScriptableObject asset, and there is none embedded in Unity.

So! Here it comes! A friendly and easy to use wizard to generate your assets!

1.22.2 GroupAttribute

Regroup fields sharing the same group name into a single place in Inspector.

How To Use: Apply the attribute GroupAttribute on any field. It accepts 2 arguments, the first is the group name and the second defines if the field is hidden. The latter is used only in a specific case.

An example of GroupAttribute:

using NGTools;

public class TestGroupAttribute : MonoBehaviour
{
    [Group("Group 1")]
    public string   aString;
    [Group("Group 1")]
    public int      anInteger;
}

If you want to group a field having a CustomPropertyDrawer, you must use the attribute InGroupAttribute. It takes the group name as sole argument.

Note: A field using InGroupAttribute can not be the first field of its group in the MonoBehaviour! Only a GroupAttribute can do that, for this specific case there is only one workaround.

An example of InGroupAttribute:

using NGTools;
using UnityEngine.Events;

public class TestInGroupAttribute : MonoBehaviour
{
    [Group("InGroup 1", true)]
    public bool unused;
    [InGroup("InGroup 1")]
    public UnityEvent       anInteger;
}

You have to add a dummy field before the concerned InGroupAttribute and assign on it a GroupAttribute with "true" as second argument. This will hide the field "unused".

Note: The group name accepts rich text. Look at Unity documentation about Rich Text at https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/StyledText.html.

Note: Attribute Header, Range and Space will not work when using attribute Group, you must use their equivalent GHeader, GRange and GSpace. You can create your own.

1.22.3 NG Check GUID

Fetch a GUID from any asset or an asset from its GUID.

How To Use: Drop an asset in the Object field or pick an asset directly from the field.

How To Use: Write a valid GUID to fetch its asset.

Note: Copy a GUID in the clipboard and go into NG Check GUID, it will automatically paste it in the list.

1.23 License

In order to get full power from NG Tools, you need to activate licenses to remove limitations.

An "NG Tools Pro" license will remove all limitations.

Any other license will grant full power to only the tool that it is related.

How To Use: Go to menu Edit > Preferences > NG Tools > Licenses.

Type your invoice in the input at the bottom and add it.

Then you need to check it, to ensure NG Tools recognizes it as a valid license.

If the license is valid, NG Tools will display the associated asset and you can activate it. Otherwise, it will show "Invalid" in grey letters.

Note: A license is an invoice.

Note: You can activate a license on 2 seats maximum! "2 seats" means 2 computers, implying many projects on those 2 computers, as much as you want.

2 Technical Usage

2.1 NG Console

2.1.1 Module

Class Module is the backbone of NG Console, allowing to create a visible module (Selectable through the header menu) or an invisible module able to do a background task.

MainModule is the main module, can not be more obvious. It displays logs as the native console with useful features aside.
ArchiveModule is visible and interferes with other modules. It allows to save logs and assigns them a note.
ColorMarkersModule is an invisible module, but it manually adds a button in the header menu. It colors background of log regarding markers' settings.

How to implement a Module:

Create a class inheriting from Module.
Add attribute Serializable.
[Optional] Add attribute VisibleModule if you want your module to be exposed and visible.

An example of Module:

using NGToolsEditor.NGConsole;
using System;
using UnityEngine;

[Serializable]
[VisibleModule(70)]
public class TestModule : Module
{
    public  TestModule()
    {
        this.name = "test";
    }

    public override void    OnGUI(Rect r)
    {
        GUI.Button(r, "Button");
    }
}

Note: NG Console contains 4 (+1) built-ins Module: MainModule, ArchiveModule, ColorMarkersModule and RemoteModule (and DebugModule).

See: Refer to the class Module for more informations.

2.1.2 StreamLog

StreamLog simply displays logs. By default, it can filter by Unity's log types (Normal, Warning, Error and Exception) and can be deeply modified by your own filters which can change the stream of displaying logs.

The class can be overridden to display your own stream.

MainStream is used by MainModule. The only feature it provides is the Collapse option synchronized with the native console. This stream can not be deleted.

CompilerStream is also used by MainModule. It appears when compiler outputs warnings or errors and disappears when there is none. This stream can not be deleted.

2.1.3 Row

NG Console invokes its 2 events CheckNewLogConsume then PropagateNewLog for each new log.

The first event does not handle the incoming log but check if it is consumed or if it must be consumed. A StreamLog can chose to discard logs that are consumed, depending on its purpose.

For example, MainStream and CompilerStream do not care of about consumption, they accept all logs. Nevertheless, StreamLog does. When a log is consumed, all next StreamLog in the list will reject it. That way, you can have a StreamLog dedicated to memory, AI, debugs, warning or initializations, etc...

The second event effectively handles the log regarding what happened just before in the previous event.

How to implement a Row:

Create a class inheriting from Row.
Add attribute Serializable.
[Optional] Add attribute RowLogHandler if you want your implementation be called when a new log arrives. (It is possible you do not want it to be called. Like RemoteRow, a special Row implemented and used only by RemoteModule to handle asynchronous Row from network.)
- If RowLogHandler is present, you must implement the following method:
```
    private static bool CanDealWithIt(UnityLogEntry log)
    {
        return true; // Here is the condition of your Row, checking if it should handle the log.
    }
```

An example of Row:

using NGToolsEditor;
using NGToolsEditor.NGConsole;
using System;
using UnityEngine;

[Serializable]
[RowLogHandler(1000)]
public class TestRow : Row
{
    private static bool     CanDealWithIt(UnityLogEntry log)
    {
        return log.condition.Contains("test");
    }

    public override float   GetWidth()
    {
        return 0F;
    }

    public override float   GetHeight(RowsDrawer rowsDrawer)
    {
        return Constants.SingleLineHeight;
    }

    public override void    DrawRow(RowsDrawer rowsDrawer, Rect r, int i, bool? collapse)
    {
        LogSettings settings = NGToolsEditor.HQ.Settings.Get<LogSettings>();
        float       originWidth = RowUtility.drawingWindow.position.width - rowsDrawer.verticalScrollbarWidth;

        r.x = 0F;
        r.width = originWidth;
        r.height = settings.height;

        // Draw background when focus, even or odd.
        this.DrawBackground(rowsDrawer, r, i);

        // Handle default log focus.
        this.HandleDefaultSelection(rowsDrawer, r, i);

        GUI.Label(r, "[Test]", settings.Style);
    }
}

To test it, just write a log containing the word "test" or from a file with the word "test" in its path. A simple text "[Test]" should appear.

Note: NG Console contains 6 built-ins Row: DefaultRow, CompileRow, MultiContextRow, DataRow, RemoteRow and BlankRow.

See: Refer to the class Row and UnityLogEntry for more informations.

2.1.4 ILogFilter

ILogFilter checks whether or not a log matches a condition. It is most often used through GroupFilters, a class providing an easy way to handle multiple filters. It is used by StreamLog to filter incoming logs and ColorMarkersModule to colorize log's background.

How to implement a filter:

Create a class implementing the interface ILogFilter.
Add attribute Serializable.
Define your condition in method CanDisplay().
If you want your filter to be dynamic, you can implement GUI in OnGUI().
Method ContextMenu() is used by some Row implementing a context menu. It allows your filter to interact with logs.
Create a file named after the filter's class name in the folder Locales/english. Add it the pair "XXXX=YYYY" with XXXX the exact string of the filter's class name and YYYY a human readable version in english.

An example of a filter:

using NGToolsEditor.NGConsole;
using System;
using UnityEditor;
using UnityEngine;

[Serializable]
public class TestFilter : ILogFilter
{
    public bool Enabled { get; set; }

    public event Action ToggleEnable;

    private string  keyword;

    public FilterResult CanDisplay(Row row)
    {
        if (row.log.condition.Contains(this.keyword) == true)
            return FilterResult.Accepted;
        return FilterResult.None;
    }

    public void OnGUI()
    {
        this.keyword = EditorGUILayout.TextField("Filter test keyword: ", this.keyword);
    }

    public void ContextMenu(UnityEditor.GenericMenu menu, Row row, int position)
    {
        menu.AddItem(new GUIContent("Menu Test"), false, () => Debug.Log("Hello there!"));
    }
}

Note: NG Console contains 5 built-ins ILogFilter: ContentFilter, HierarchyFilter, MaskTypeFilter, NameHierarchyFilter and TagFilter.

See: Refer to the interface ILogFilter and class GroupFilters for more informations.

2.1.5 IStackFrameFilter

IStackFrameFilter allows to remove a frame from the stack trace based on the raw frame given by Unity's log.

This interface gives an easy way to create your own Debug.Log().

An example of a IStackFrameFilter:

using NGToolsEditor.NGConsole;

public class UselessFrameFilter : IStackFrameFilter
{
    public bool Filter(string frame)
    {
        return frame.StartsWith("YourDebugClass:") == true ||
                frame.StartsWith("AnotherDebugClass:WithSpecificMethod") == true;
    }
}

To test, change the strings by your own debug class. Anytime you will open a stack trace, your class will not be in there.

Note: NG Console contains 1 built-in IStackFrameFilter: UselessFrameFilter.

See: Refer to the interface IStackFrameFilter for more informations.

2.1.6 ILogExporter

ILogExporter allows to export logs in your own format.

How to implement a log exporter:

Create a class implementing the interface ILogExporter.
I strongly recommend you to look at existing implementation of ILogExporter. It might be rough, but the implementations cover good cases.
Please accept my apologies about this short todo.

Note: NG Console contains 2 built-ins ILogExporter: RawExporter and XMLExporter.

See: Refer to the interface ILogExporter for more informations.

2.1.7 Editor Openers

An opener is just an alternative way to open your asset. It gives the possibility to associate a set of extensions with a software.

It falls back on Unity if the asset is not handle by an opener from NG Tools.

To modify those, you must change NG Settings -> General -> General -> Editor Extensions.

How to implement an opener:

Create a class implementing IEditorOpener.
The method CanHandleEditor() checks if the given editor's path is handled. Notice that you only have the path of the software, this is the only data provided to the opener.
In addition of the method CanHandleEditor(), the property "defaultArguments" is used when CanHandleEditor() returns true. CanHandleEditor() is called when you choose an executable in Editor Extensions in NG Settings as explained just above.
Look at the implementation of NotepadPlusPlusOpener to see a very simple opener.

Note: NG Console contains 6 built-ins IEditorOpener: MonoDevelopOpener, VisualStudioOpener, NotepadPlusPlusOpener, SublimeOpener, VimOpener and EmacsOpener.

See: Refer to the interface IEditorOpener for more informations.

2.1.8 Preset

Preset grants you the possibility to change in an instant all settings about NG Console's behaviour.

All implementations of Preset are displayed in section "Presets" in NG Settings.

Note: NG Console contains 3 built-ins Preset: FastestPreset, MinimalPreset and VerbosePreset.

See: Refer to the class Preset for more informations.

2.1.9 Theme

Theme allows you to create your own predefined custom style.

Allowing to alter the header menu, the visual of a log and its stack trace, the display of the source code and many other tiny details.

All implementations of Theme are displayed in section "Themes" in NG Settings.

Note: NG Console contains many built-ins Theme: DarkTheme, LightTheme, and alll FontSizeXXTheme.

See: Refer to the class Theme for more informations.

2.2 NG Game Console

2.2.1 NG Game Console

2.2.1.1 DataConsole

Displays a data on the console, anything you want from the scene, GameObject, gameplay, rules, statistics, etc...

How to implement a DataConsole:

Create a class inheriting from DataConsole.
Override methods CanDrawShortGUI() and ShortGUI() if you want a short version of your data.
Override methods CanDrawFullGUI() and FullGUI() if you want a complet version of your data.
Drop your script on a GameObject.
Add the instance of your DataConsole in field "Data Console" of NG Game Console in Inspector window.

An example of a DataConsole:

using NGTools.NGGameConsole;
using UnityEngine;

public class TestData : DataConsole
{
    public override void    ShortGUI()
    {
        GUILayout.Label("Short Test");
    }

    public override void    FullGUI()
    {
        GUILayout.Label("Full Test");
    }
}

2.2.2 NG CLI

2.2.2.1 Root command

A root command is simply a command with sub-commands. NG CLI requires root commands to execute anything.

A command triggers an action, change a variable, call a function or anything else.

How to implement root command:

Create script inheriting from MonoBehaviour.
Create properties or methods with the attribute CommandAttribute.
Drop your script on a GameObject.
Add the instance of your script in field "Root Commands" of NGCLI in Inspector window.

Note: The attribute CommandAttribute can be applied on public properties, static or not, with a getter and a setter.

Note: The attribute CommandAttribute can be applied on public methods, static or not, with a "string" return type. CommandAttribute only supports primary types, decimal and string as arguments.

An example of a root command:

using NGTools.NGGameConsole;
using UnityEngine;

public class TestRootCommand : MonoBehaviour
{
    [Command("instanceInteger", "")]
    public int a { get; set; }
    [Command("instanceString", "")]
    public string b { get; set; }
    [Command("instanceFloat", "")]
    public float c { get; set; }
    [Command("instanceBoolean", "")]
    public bool d { get; set; }
    [Command("staticDecimal", "")]
    public static decimal e { get; set; }
    [Command("staticInt", "")]
    public static int f { get; set; }
    [Command("staticString", "")]
    public static string g { get; set; }
    [Command("staticFunction", "")]
    public static string Fn1()
    {
        return "A lambda result.";
    }
    [Command("staticFunctionWithArgument", "")]
    public static string Fn2(int b)
    {
        return "Fn2(" + b + ")";
    }
}

You can use commands to interact with your game, to change your configuration, stop the timer, save the state of anything, change scene, delete things, start a song, dance salsa, eat tacos and more and more!

2.3 NG Remote Scene

2.3.1 TypeHandler

The class TypeHandler gives the possibility to implement your own way to serialize and deserialize a given type, choosing which fields or properties you want to transmit via network.

Basically, a custom class/struct gets all its public fields automatically serialized/deserialized; but if you want it to be more efficient or just want to discard fields from the serialization pass, you might need to implement a TypeHandler.

Any implementation of TypeHandler needs to be assigned the attribute PriorityAttribute to define an order between TypeHandler. Additionally, each TypeHandler must have its implementaton of TypeHandlerDrawer.

Here is the implementation of the built-in BooleanHandler:

using System;

namespace NGTools.NGRemoteScene
{
    [Priority(0)]
    public class BooleanHandler : TypeHandler
    {
        public override bool    CanHandle(Type type)
        {
            return type == typeof(Boolean);
        }

        public override void    Serialize(ByteBuffer buffer, Type fieldType, object instance)
        {
            buffer.Append((Boolean)instance);
        }

        public override object      Deserialize(ByteBuffer buffer, Type fieldType)
        {
            return buffer.ReadBoolean();
        }
    }
}

Note: NG Remote Scene contains built-ins for all primary types from .Net (Boolean, Byte, SByte, Char, Int16, Int32, Int64, UInt16, UInt32, UInt64, Single, Double), plus complex types (Array, enum, class, struct, string).

Note: NG Remote Scene also contains built-ins for some types from UnityEngine (Object, Rect, Quaternion, Vector2, Vector3, Vector4, Color).

See: Refer to the class TypeHandlerDrawer and PriorityAttribute for more informations.

2.3.2 TypeHandlerDrawer

When you implement a TypeHandler, you need to implement a TypeHandlerDrawer.

The drawer is the equivalent of PropertyDrawer from Unity. It draws the type in NG Inspector, but it has to take care of few things.

TypeHandlerDrawer is a bit more complex, because NG Remote Scene has to manage network, meaning the value you are watching might be obsolete, and any change you do is asynchronous.

Therefore, the drawer has to display feedbacks and informations about the value for the sake of the user experience. But lucky you, it is already done.

Also, the class TypeHandlerDrawer needs the attribute TypeHandlerDrawerForAttribute to be linked to a TypeHandler.

Here is the implementation of the built-in BooleanDrawer with comments (Don't be afraid! It is not that big, just the comments make it feel bigger):

using NGTools;
using System;
using UnityEditor;
using UnityEngine;

namespace NGToolsEditor.NGRemoteScene
{
    // Which TypeHandler it is related.
    [TypeHandlerDrawerFor(typeof(BooleanHandler))]
    public class BooleanDrawer : TypeHandlerDrawer
    {
        // An animator displaying a smooth animation when a new value is fetched from the server.
        private BgColorContentAnimator  anim;
        // Because the update is asynchronous, it displays the last value assigned.
        // Moreover, it handles dragging the field, preventing the value to shake when the server updates while you are dragging (For integer and float).
        private ValueMemorizer<Boolean> drag;

        public  BooleanDrawer(TypeHandler typeHandler) : base(typeHandler)
        {
            this.drag = new ValueMemorizer<Boolean>();
        }

        public override void    Draw(Rect r, DataDrawer data)
        {
            if (this.anim == null)
                this.anim = new BgColorContentAnimator(data.inspector.Repaint, 1F, 0F);

            // A notification is generated when the server sends the new value.
            if (data.inspector.hierarchy.GetUpdateNotification(data.GetPath()) == true)
            {
                this.drag.NewValue((Boolean)data.value);
                this.anim.Start();
            }

            using (this.anim.Restorer(0F, .8F + this.anim.Value, 0F, 1F))
            {
                EditorGUI.BeginChangeCheck();
                // Draws the field with the current working value (Remember the drag story!).
                Boolean newValue = EditorGUI.Toggle(r, ObjectNames.NicifyVariableName(data.name), this.drag.Get((Boolean)data.value));
                if (EditorGUI.EndChangeCheck() == true)
                {
                    this.drag.Set(newValue);
                    this.AsyncUpdateCommand(data.unityData, data.GetPath(), newValue, typeof(Boolean));
                }

                // Display last value if a new request is pending.
                this.drag.Draw(r);
            }
        }
    }
}

See: Refer to the class TypeHandler and TypeHandlerDrawerFor for more informations.

2.3.3 ComponentExposer

Sometimes, it happens that you specifically need to discard a field or a property from being serialized or even reached.

An easy example would be the class MeshRenderer. Whenever a MeshRenderer is serialized, it would extract all fields and properties including the property "material", which would leads to an unwanted instance of the material (Because when you make a call to this property, Unity automatically creates a copy of the Object). It would be the same for the class MeshFilter and its property "mesh".

To avoid this unfortunate issue, ComponentExposer provides 2 methods you might override to explicitly expose fields and properties.

Also, your class must have the attribute ComponentExposingForAttribute to define which type it is related to.

Here is the implementation of the built-in MeshRendererExposer:

using System;
using System.Reflection;
using UnityEngine;

namespace NGTools.NGRemoteScene
{
    [ComponentExposingFor(typeof(MeshRenderer))]
    public class MeshRendererExposer : ComponentExposer
    {
        public override PropertyInfo[] GetPropertyInfos(Component component)
        {
            PropertyInfo[]  fields = new PropertyInfo[7];

            Type    type = component.GetType();

            fields[0] = type.GetProperty("enabled");
            fields[1] = type.GetProperty("shadowCastingMode");
            fields[2] = type.GetProperty("receiveShadows");
            // The field "material" is explicitly not included!
            fields[3] = type.GetProperty("sharedMaterials");
            fields[4] = type.GetProperty("useLightProbes");
            fields[5] = type.GetProperty("reflectionProbeUsage");
            fields[6] = type.GetProperty("probeAnchor");

            return fields;
        }
    }
}

Note: NG Remote Scene contains 7 built-ins ComponentExposer: AudioSourceExposer, ColliderExposer, MeshFilterExposer, RendererExposer, RigidbodyExposer, TrailRendererExposer and TransformExposer.

See: Refer to the class ComponentExposingForAttribute for more informations.

2.3.4 ArgumentDrawer

NG Inspector allows to invoke method of any Component directly through in NG Remote Inspector.

But you might have complex arguments in your methods, hence ArgumentDrawer.

ArgumentDrawer draws editor GUI for a specific type, like PropertyDrawer.

Your implementation of ArgumentDrawer must have the attribute ArgumentDrawerForAttribute to be linked to a type.

Here is the implementation of the built-in BooleanArgumentDrawer:

using System;
using UnityEditor;

namespace NGToolsEditor.NGRemoteScene
{
    [ArgumentDrawerFor(typeof(Boolean))]
    public class BooleanArgumentDrawer : ArgumentDrawer
    {
        public BooleanArgumentDrawer(string name) : base(name, typeof(Boolean))
        {
        }

        public override void    OnGUI()
        {
            this.value = EditorGUILayout.Toggle(this.name, (Boolean)this.value);
        }
    }
}

Note: NG Remote Scene contains built-ins for all primary types from .Net (Boolean, Byte, SByte, Char, Int16, Int32, Int64, UInt16, UInt32, UInt64, Single, Double), plus only one complex type (String).

Note: NG Remote Scene also contains built-ins for some types from UnityEngine (Rect, Quaternion, Vector2, Vector3, Vector4, Color).

See: Refer to the class ArgumentDrawerForAttribute for more informations.

2.3.5 CameraDataModule

CameraDataModule allows to communicate any data between the server and the client in real time.

The implementation of a CameraDataModule is complex due to the creation of 3 different classes.

One deriving from CameraServerDataModule, this class lives in the server-side and handles the data to send to the client. You basically have 4 methods, Awake(), OnDestroy, OnGUI() and Update().

Override OnGUI() or Update() to pack your data and send it to the client.

Override Awake() or OnDestroy() to initialize stuff, like managing incoming packets from the client.

Here is an implementation of a CameraServerDataModule:

using UnityEngine;

namespace NGTools.NGRemoteScene
{
    public class TestModule : CameraServerDataModule
    {
        public const byte   ModuleID = 255;
        // The higher, the bigger. But it can not be equal or higher than 1000.
        public const int    Priority = 1;
        public const string Name = "Test";

        private float       nextTime;

        public  TestModule() : base(TestModule.ModuleID, TestModule.Priority, TestModule.Name)
        {
        }

        // Send a packet containing the current frame count every second.
        public void Update(ICameraScreenshotData data)
        {
            float   t = Time.time;

            if (t <= this.nextTime)
                return;

            this.nextTime = t + 1F;

            // Put the frame count into the buffer which is an integer of 32 bits.
            Utility.sharedBBuffer.Append(Time.frameCount);

            // You can choose to send to the sender.
            data.Sender.AddPacket(new CameraDataPacket(this.moduleID, Time.time, Utility.sharedBBuffer.Flush()));

            // Or to broadcast to all clients.
            //data.TCPListener.BroadcastPacket(new CameraDataPacket(this.moduleID, Time.time, Utility.sharedBBuffer.Flush()));
        }
    }
}

Here is an extended implementation if you wish to share settings with the client.

using UnityEngine;

namespace NGTools.Network
{
    public partial class PacketId
    {
        // This ID must be unique! Make sure it does not collide with any other packet.
        public const int    Camera_ClientModuleSetAnySetting = 100000;
    }

    [PacketLinkTo(PacketId.Camera_ClientModuleSetAnySetting)]
    public class ClientModuleSetAnySettingPacket : Packet
    {
        public int  setting;

        protected   ClientModuleSetAnySettingPacket(ByteBuffer buffer) : base(buffer)
        {
        }

        public  ClientModuleSetAnySettingPacket(int setting)
        {
            this.setting = setting;
        }
    }

    public class TestModule : CameraServerDataModule
    {
        [...]

        public int  anySetting;

        [...]

        public override void    Awake(NGServerScene scene)
        {
            // Tell the packet executer which method handles this ID when receiving it.
            scene.executer.HandlePacket(PacketId.Camera_ClientModuleSetAnySetting, this.SetAnySetting);
        }

        public override void    OnDestroy(NGServerScene scene)
        {
            scene.executer.UnhandlePacket(PacketId.Camera_ClientModuleSetAnySetting);
        }

        [...]

        private void    SetAnySetting(Client client, Packet _packet)
        {
            ClientModuleSetAnySettingPacket packet = _packet as ClientModuleSetAnySettingPacket;

            // Override the current setting with the new one.
            this.anySetting = packet.setting;
        }
    }
}

The second class to implement is CameraDataModuleEditor, it lives in client-side in NG Remote Camera and handles data received from the server.

Here is an implementation of a CameraDataModuleEditor:

using UnityEngine;

namespace NGToolsEditor.NGRemoteScene
{
    public class TestModuleEditor : CameraDataModuleEditor
    {
        // This is the class you will use to store data for each frame.
        public class TestData : CameraData
        {
            // With any data you want inside.
            public int  frameCount;
        }

        // This is the settings you might want to share with the server.
        private int anySetting;

        public  TestModuleEditor() : base(TestModule.ModuleID, TestModule.Priority, TestModule.Name)
        {
        }

        public override void    OnGUICamera(IReplaySettings settings, Rect r)
        {
            // Display a label over the camera feed in NG Remote Camera.
            EditorGUI.LabelField(r, "Setting " + this.anySetting);
        }

        public override void    OnGUIModule(NGHierarchyWindow hierarchy)
        {
            // Alter the setting and send it to the server.
            EditorGUI.BeginChangeCheck();
            this.anySetting = EditorGUILayout.IntField("Any Setting", this.anySetting);
            if (EditorGUI.EndChangeCheck() == true && hierarchy.IsClientConnected() == true)
                hierarchy.Client.AddPacket(new ClientModuleSetAnySettingPacket(this.anySetting));
        }

        public override void    OnServerInitialized(IReplaySettings settings, Client server)
        {
            // Right after the server is connected, send a packet to set the default setting.
            server.AddPacket(new ClientModuleSetAnySettingPacket(this.anySetting));
        }

        public override void    HandlePacket(IReplaySettings settings, float time, byte[] data)
        {
            // You must keep only the most recent data depending on the settings you set.
            this.RemoveOldData(time - settings.RecordLastSeconds);

            // Put the data into a ByteBuffer to read it more easily.
            ByteBuffer  buffer = Utility.GetBBuffer();

            buffer.Append(data);

            this.data.Add(new TestData() {
                time = time,
                // Get the data from the buffer which was an integer of 32 bits.
                frameCount = buffer.ReadInt32()
            });

            Utility.RestoreBBuffer(buffer);
        }

        public override ReplayDataModule    ConvertToReplay(IReplaySettings settings)
        {
            // The data must be converted into a ReplayDataModule to be used properly by NG Replay. Look at the last class to implement.
            return new TestReplayModule(this);
        }
    }
}

The last class to implement is ReplayDataModule, it lives in client-side and is used by NG Replay.

Here is an implementation of a ReplayDataModule:

using NGTools;
using System;
using System.Text;
using UnityEditor;
using UnityEngine;

namespace NGToolsEditor.NGRemoteScene
{
    public class TestReplayModule : ReplayDataModule
    {
        public  TestReplayModule() : base(TestModule.ModuleID, TestModule.Priority, TestModule.Name)
        {
        }

        public  TestReplayModule(TestModuleEditor module) : base(TestModule.ModuleID, TestModule.Priority, TestModule.Name)
        {
            this.data.AddRange(module.data);
        }

        public override void    OnGUIReplay(Rect r)
        {
            if (this.index == -1)
                return;

            TestModuleEditor.TestData   data = this.data[this.index] as TestModuleEditor.TestData;

            // Displays a label with the frame count on the top-left over the video feed.
            r.x = 0F;
            r.width = 100F;
            r.height = 16F;
            EditorGUI.LabelField(r, "Setting " + data.frameCount);
        }

        public override void    Export(ByteBuffer writer)
        {
            writer.Append(this.data.Count);

            foreach (TestModuleEditor.TestData data in this.data)
            {
                writer.Append(data.time);
                writer.Append(data.frameCount);
            }
        }

        public override void    Import(Replay settings, ByteBuffer reader)
        {
            int count = reader.ReadInt32();

            this.data.Clear();
            this.data.Capacity = count;

            for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
            {
                TestModuleEditor.TestData   input = new TestModuleEditor.TestData();
                input.time = reader.ReadSingle();
                input.frameCount = reader.ReadInt32();
                this.data.Add(input);
            }
        }
    }
}

Note: NG Remote Camera contains 4 built-ins CameraDataModule: ScreenshotModule, KeyboardModule, MouseModule and TouchModule.

See: Refer to the classes CameraDataModule, CameraServerDataModule, CameraDataModuleEditor and ReplayDataModule for more informations.

2.4 NG Fav

Favorites are saved using a simple thing, their path in the hierarchy.

When NG Fav tries to reconnect the reference, it searches through the hierarchy based on the whole path. If not found, it will look for the GameObject with the same name.

2.4.1 IResolver

NG Fav saves asset based on the path of it. It works for all cases except for runtime GameObject.

For that case NG Fav provides the interfaces IResolver and IParentResolver to make the ephemeral reference a reliable reference.

How to implement IResolver (Similar steps for IParentResolver):

Implement the interface IResolver on a MonoBehaviour.
Inside the method GetResolver(), you need to set the arguments identifier and resolver. resolver must be assigned with a static function!
Argument identifier is optional, but not resolver. Because the callback resolver can return a specific GameObject, therefore it does not require an identifier.
Drop the class in the GameObject you want to put in favorite.

Callback resolver returns a GameObject based on the identifier you provide.

Whenever an Object is being persisted, a first check of IResolver is done on the Game Object, then a second lookup of IParentResolver on the Game Object and all its parents.

NG Fav draws the favorites and will try to reconnect the favorite to its original Object if the favorite is unset.

The resolver is called only during the first draw and after any hierarchy modification or prefab stage opening/closing.

using UnityEngine;

namespace NGTools.NGFav
{
    public class Foo : MonoBehaviour, IResolver
    {
        void    IResolver.GetResolver(GameObject selectedGameObject, out string identifier, out Func<string, GameObject> resolver)
        {
            identifier = "0";
            resolver = Foo.ObjectResolver;
        }

        private static GameObject   ObjectResolver(string identifier)
        {
            // Return a GameObject based on the given identifier.
            // If you have a database, a factory, or from a save. Any identifier that you might use to refer to a specific GameObject.
            return null;
        }
    }
}

Recalling runtime GameObject is truly useful when you have thousands of GameObject in Hierarchy window and you do not want to scroll over the whole list or use filter to look for your GameObject, and redoing that each time you restart your game.

2.5 NG Prefs

2.5.1 PrefsManager

Class PrefsManager allows to save, edit and delete data. Use it to implement your own system of preferences.

This class is nearly too simple and not enough advanced, it only supports int, string and float.

Here is the implementation of the built-in EditorPrefManager:

using NGTools;
using System;
using UnityEditor;
#if UNITY_EDITOR_OSX
using UnityEngine;
#endif

namespace NGToolsEditor.NGPrefs
{
    // This manager is pretty simple and straight. If you want to handle encryption or else, you can do it here.
    public class EditorPrefManager : PrefsManager
    {
        public override void    DeleteKey(string key)
        {
            EditorPrefs.DeleteKey(key);
        }

        public override void    DeleteAll()
        {
            EditorPrefs.DeleteAll();
        }

        public override bool    HasKey(string key)
        {
            return EditorPrefs.HasKey(key);
        }

        public override float   GetFloat(string key, float defaultValue = 0F)
        {
            return EditorPrefs.GetFloat(key, defaultValue);
        }

        public override int     GetInt(string key, int defaultValue = 0)
        {
            return EditorPrefs.GetInt(key, defaultValue);
        }

        public override string  GetString(string key, string defaultValue = null)
        {
            return EditorPrefs.GetString(key, defaultValue);
        }

        public override void    SetFloat(string key, float value)
        {
            EditorPrefs.SetFloat(key, value);
        }

        public override void    SetInt(string key, int value)
        {
            EditorPrefs.SetInt(key, value);
        }

        public override void    SetString(string key, string value)
        {
            EditorPrefs.SetString(key, value);
        }

        public override void    LoadPreferences()
        {
            try
            {
#if UNITY_EDITOR_WIN
                this.LoadFromRegistrar(@"SOFTWARE\Unity Technologies\Unity Editor 5.x");
#elif UNITY_EDITOR_OSX
                this.LoadFromRegistrar("/Users/Apple/Library/Preferences/com.unity3d.UnityEditor" + Application.unityVersion.Substring(0, Application.unityVersion.IndexOf('.')) + ".x.plist");
#endif
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                InternalNGDebug.LogException(ex);
            }
        }
    }
}

Note: NG Prefs contains 2 built-ins PrefsManager: PlayerPrefsManager and EditorPrefsManager.

See: Refer to the class PrefsManager for more informations.

2.6 NG Hierarchy Enhancer

2.6.1 Hierarchy GUI

Draws GUI about your script directly in Hierarchy window.

An example:

private float OnHierarchyGUI(Rect r)
{
    r.xMin = r.xMax - 100F;
    if (GUI.Button(r, "What") == true)
    {
        Debug.Log("Else?");
    }
    return r.xMin;
}

Note: NG Hierarchy Enhancer draws thing from right to left, therefore the return value must be the leftmost position in X axis you consumed.

2.6.2 DynamicObjectMenu

Because you can not implement the method on Unity's scripts. NG Hierarchy Enhancer provides DynamicObjectMenu to bypass this issue.

Each time you open the menu, all classes inheriting from DynamicObjectMenu are called and given the GameObject as argument. From there, it is up to you to make your shopping.

Note: NG Hierarchy Enhancer contains 1 built-in DynamicObjectMenu: GameObjectMenu (Allows you to toggle Active state, to manage AudioSource, Renderer and ParticleSystem).

See: Refer to the class DynamicObjectMenu for more informations.

2.7 NG Settings

Settings are saved in a ScriptableObject in an asset.

Modules can save their settings in this asset which is shareable.

NG Console An example is done by NG Console which implements many sections in NG Settings.
- Themes Implement your own theme in addition of the default Light and Dark themes based on Unity Editor.
- Presets Like theme, you can implement your own predefined settings in addition of the default Fastest, Minimal and Verbose settings.

2.7.1 Custom settings

How to implement and integrate your own settings:

First way:
- Implement a class inheriting from AbstractModuleSettings with any settings you want.
- In your module, add a field of type AutoExposeSettings<T> with T the class you just created.
- In OnEnable() of your module, assign your field with an instance of AutoExposeSettings<T>.
- In OnDisable(), add a call to Close() from your instance of AutoExposeSettings<T>.
- In case you need to initialize GUI, you must override the method InitializeGUI() from AbstractModuleSettings. Of course this is optional, if you have your own way to initialize GUI.

This way is nice if you want to save your data separately from NG Settings. Your very own.

Here is the implementation of the first way: First, create the setting class:

using NGToolsEditor;
using UnityEngine;

public class DummySettings : AbstractModuleSettings
{
    public float    floatSetting = 70F;
    public string   stringSetting = "Test";
    public GUIStyle style;

    protected override void Reset()
    {
        base.Reset();

        this.floatSettingfloatSetting = 70F;
        this.stringSetting = "Test";
        this.style = null;
    }

    protected override void InitializeGUI()
    {
        if (this.style == null)
            this.style = new GUIStyle();
    }
}

Integrate your setting class through an instance of AutoExposeSettings:

using NGToolsEditor.NGConsole;
using System;
using UnityEditor;

[Serializable]
[VisibleModule(50)]
public class DummyModule : Module, IStreams
{
    [NonSerialized]
    private AutoExposeSettings<RemoteSettings>  settings;

    public override void    OnEnable(NGConsole editor, int id)
    {
        base.OnEnable(editor, id);

        this.settings = new AutoExposeSettings<DummySettings>("Dummy Module", Utility.GetConsolePath() + "/NGConsole/Modules/Dummy/DummySettings.asset");
    }

    public override void    OnDisable()
    {
        base.OnDisable();

        this.settings.Uninit();
    }
}

The second way merge your data with NG Settings.

Second way:
- Implement a serializable class with your settings.
- Add a public field with the class you just created in the partial class NGSettings.
- In your Module or your EditorWindow, add a field of type SectionDrawer.
- In the method OnEnable(), instantiate the field. It requires 2 arguments, the first is the name of your section and second is the type of your serializable class.
- In the method OnDisable(), call the method Uninit() from your field of type SectionDrawer.

using System;
using UnityEngine;

namespace NGToolsEditor
{
    public partial class NGSettings : ScriptableObject
    {
        // This is the class containing your data. Because it is merged into NG Settings, NG Tools will save it.
        [Serializable]
        public class TestSettings : Settings
        {
            public float    floatSetting = 70F;
            public string   stringSetting = "Test";
            public GUIStyle style;

            protected override void InitGUI()
            {
                this.style = new GUIStyle(GUI.skin.button);
            }
        }
        public TestSettings test = new TestSettings();
    }
}

using NGToolsEditor.NGConsole;
using System;
using UnityEngine;

[Serializable]
[VisibleModule(50)]
public class DummyModule : Module, IStreams
{
    [NonSerialized]
    private SectionDrawer sectionDrawer;

    public override void    OnEnable(NGConsole editor, int id)
    {
        base.OnEnable(editor, id);

        this.sectionDrawer = new SectionDrawer("Test Section", typeof(NGSettings.TestSettings));
    }

    public override void    OnDisable()
    {
        base.OnDisable();

        this.editorDrawer.Uninit(); 
    }
}

The first way is a bit complex, but it automatically handles the drawing for you. Use it when you want to create your own settings and put them in a different asset than the one used by NG Tools.

The second way is also a bit complex, the main difference with the previous method is your settings are shared in the same asset as NG Tools.

See: Implementation in NGConsole, MainModule, RemoteModule.

2.8 NG Network

2.8.1 Base Server

Any server based on NG Tools requires a BaseServer to run a network instance.

A BaseServer can be shared between different tools (NG Remote Scene & NG Game Console).

How To Use:

Drop a Base Server on a GameObject.
Assign the field "Server" in NG Server Scene or NG Server Command with the Base Server above.
Drop any script inheriting from AbstractTcpListener. (This script is required to tell the server how to communicate with the outside)
Assign the field "Listener" in Base Server with TCP listener above. (You can use the built-in DefaultTcpListener)
Setup the listening port. Make sure your firewall is allowing this port.

Note: DefaultTcpListener is the default built-in TCP listener.

See: How to implement an AbstractTcpListener for a server.

2.8.2 TCP Listener

Network is handled through a TCP connection, NG Tools provides the class AbstractTcpListener to implement the behaviour. It only cares about accepting new clients.

The content is managed by the class Client which just receives and parses packets.

Every server in NG Tools requires a TCP connector, it is done by assigning an instance of an AbstractTcpListener in the listener field of the server (Notice that they are both inheriting from MonoBehaviour).

Here is the implementation of DefaultTcpListener, the only built-in in NG Tools:

using System;
using System.Net;
using System.Net.Sockets;

namespace NGTools.Network
{
    public class DefaultTcpListener : AbstractTcpListener
    {
        public override void    StartServer()
        {
            this.tcpListener = new TcpListener(IPAddress.Any, port);
            this.tcpListener.Start(this.backLog);
            this.tcpListener.BeginAcceptTcpClient(new AsyncCallback(this.AcceptClient), null);
        }

        private void    AcceptClient(IAsyncResult ar)
        {
            // TcpListener is null when the server stops.
            if (this.tcpListener == null)
                return;

            Client  client = new Client(this.tcpListener.EndAcceptTcpClient(ar));
            this.clients.Add(client);

            this.tcpListener.BeginAcceptTcpClient(new AsyncCallback(this.AcceptClient), null);
        }
    }
}

As you can see, it only creates a TcpListener from the .NET framework, then wait for clients.

In the case a TcpListener does not fit your needs, you may need to implement your own version of a TCP listener.

Note: NG Tools contains a built-in DefaultTcpListener.

See: Refer to the class BaseServer, Packet and Client for more informations.

2.9 NG Hub

2.9.1 HubComponent

The class HubComponent displays some GUI in NG Hub in order to achieve a task, displaying data, buttons or else.

How to implement a HubComponent:

Create a class inheriting from HubComponent.
Add attribute Serializable and Category. The latter is used by NG Hub for listing, it sorts the types in a nice way.
Define the default constructor and call the parent constructor. The parent constructor requires 3 arguments, a string for the name, a boolean defining if your component is editable and a last boolean defining if the editing window must close if it loses the focus.
[Optional] Override the methods Init or Uninit if you have things to initialize.
[Optional] Override OnPreviewGUI() if you want to change the default preview GUI. The preview is invoked when editing NG Hub.
[Optional] If your component is editable, override OnEditionGUI() to display GUI that will let you alter your component.
Override OnGUI() to display things in NG Hub.
[Optional] Define the method "CanDrop" using the following signature: private static bool CanDrop(). This method is called when the user is dragging an Object. Therefore you must override the method InitDrop(), which is invoked when the user drops an Object in your component.

An example of a HubComponent:

using System;
using UnityEngine;

namespace NGToolsEditor.NGHub
{
    [Serializable, Category("Test")]
    public class TestComponent : HubComponent
    {
        [Exportable]
        public string   value;

        public  TestComponent() : base("Test", true, false)
        {
        }

        public override void    Init(NGHubWindow hub)
        {
            base.Init(hub);

            // Init things here
        }

        public override void    Uninit()
        {
            base.Uninit();

            // Uninit things here
        }

        public override void    OnPreviewGUI(Rect r)
        {
            GUI.Label(r, "Test Preview (\"" + this.value + "\")");
        }

        public override void    OnEditionGUI()
        {
            this.value = EditorGUILayout.TextField("Test Value", this.value);
        }

        public override void    OnGUI()
        {
            if (GUILayout.Button("Test Button") == true)
            {
                Debug.Log("Test value " + this.value + "!");
            }
        }

        public override void    InitDrop(NGHubWindow hub)
        {
            base.InitDrop(hub);

            // Do things with the class DragAndDrop.
        }

        private static bool     CanDrop()
        {
            // Accept drop if the user is dragging a GameObject.
            return DragAndDrop.objectReferences.Length > 0 && DragAndDrop.objectReferences[0] is GameObject;
        }
    }
}

Note: NG Hub contains 6 built-ins HubComponent: TimeScaleComponent, MenuCallerComponent, LoadSceneComponent, AssetShortcutComponent, ScenesComponent and NavSelectionComponent. Note that the 2 last were created for NG Scenes and NG Nav Selection

See: Refer to LoadSceneComponent or AssetShortcutComponent for real implementation handling drag & drop.

See: Refer to MenuCallerComponent to see how to persist Unity Object.

2.10 Export/Import settings

Exports any portion of your settings through a fine-grained tree. The same way, import any settings you have exported.

To expose your settings to the export wizard, NG Tools provides 2 attributes:

ExportableAttribute exposes a field to the export wizard or sets the behaviour of a class when exported.

An example of ExportableAttribute:

using NGToolsEditor.NGConsole;

public class ExampleModule : Module
{
    [Exportable]
    public int      aInteger;
    [Exportable]
    public string   aString;
}

HideFromExportAttribute prevents a class to be exported when the class is in an exportable field array.

An example of HideFromExportAttribute:

using NGToolsEditor.NGConsole;

public class ExampleModule : Module
{
    public class ClassA
    {
    }

    // This class will be excluded from the list when exported.
    [HideFromExport]
    public class SpecialA : ClassA
    {
    }

    // An exportable field array.
    [Exportable]
    public ClassA[] array;
}

2.11 NG Renamer

2.11.1 TextFilter

Modify a name by implementing a TextFilter.

How to implement a TextFilter:

Create a class inheriting from TextFilter.
Define a constructor with 1 argument of type NGRenamerWindow and call the parent constructor. The parent constructor requires 3 arguments, a NGRenamerWindow as a dependency, a string as the name, an integer as priority.
Override Filter().
Override OnGUI() to display things in NG Renamer.
[Optional] Override Highlight() if you want to highlight some parts of the name.

Here is the implementation of AddFilter, a built-in in NG Renamer:

using UnityEditor;

namespace NGToolsEditor.NGRenamer
{
    public class AddFilter : TextFilter
    {
        public string   text;
        public int      position;
        public string   prefix;
        public string   suffix;

        public  AddFilter(NGRenamerWindow renamer) : base(renamer, "Add", 50)
        {
        }

        public override void    OnGUI()
        {
            using (LabelWidthRestorer.Get(70F))
            {
                EditorGUI.BeginChangeCheck();
                EditorGUILayout.BeginHorizontal();
                {
                    this.text = EditorGUILayout.TextField("Insert", this.text);
                    using (LabelWidthRestorer.Get(25F))
                    {
                        this.position = EditorGUILayout.IntField("At", this.position);
                    }
                }
                EditorGUILayout.EndHorizontal();

                this.prefix = EditorGUILayout.TextField("Prefix", this.prefix);
                this.suffix = EditorGUILayout.TextField("Suffix", this.suffix);
                if (EditorGUI.EndChangeCheck() == true)
                {
                    this.enable = true;
                    this.renamer.Invalidate();
                }
            }
        }

        public override string  Filter(string input)
        {
            if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(this.text) == false)
            {
                int pos = this.position;

                if (pos < 0)
                {
                    pos = input.Length + pos + 1;
                    if (pos < 0)
                        pos = 0;
                }
                else if (pos >= input.Length)
                    pos = input.Length;

                input = input.Insert(pos, this.text);

Network

You might encounter issues when using any network system.

If you can not manage to make NG Remote Scene or NG CLI works, you might read the following advices:

Verify that "Auto Destroy In Production" is unticked in NGServerScene or NGGameConsole when building to production.
Make sure your device and your computer are in the same network.
Get the IP of your device and try to ping it from your computer.
Check if Stripping Level is not set on "Use micro mscorlib".
One way to be sure your device is reachable, try to use Unity's profiler with your device. For that, make sure that ports 54998 to 55511 are open in the firewall's outbound rules. See https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/Profiler.html.
If Unity's profiler is reachable, make sure the port you have chosen for NGServerScene (17257 by default) or NGServerCommand (17254 by default) are also opened.
Server uses the UDP range ports 6550 to 6557 for auto detection.

If you are running a Universal Windows Platform build on the same computer as Unity Editor, this scenario won't work due to Windows security reasons.

See: https://docs.microsoft.com/fr-fr/windows/uwp/networking/sockets for more information.

CPU Spikes

If you perceive CPU spikes in the following cases:

If you have more than 100k logs. NG Console should be able to handle them pretty easily, if not, there might be a problem. Check if you are using a lot of streams with a lot of filters.
If you have a lot of favorites in NG Fav and each time you renamed, create, delete or move a Game Object in Hierarchy.

Contact the author (support at ngtools dot tech).

Build

If your build aborts and output an error such as :

IL2CPP error for type 'System.ValueType' in assembly 'Temp\StagingArea\assets\bin\Data\Managed\mscorlib.dll'

You need to set Manager Stripping Level to High.

3.2 Platforms

NG Tools is tested on:

Android
iOS
Windows
macOS
Universal Windows Platform (Experimental)

Any other platforms might work but is not guaranteed.

Xbox One is not supported at all and there is no plan to support it.

If you want and are capable to implement your platform, feel free to ask the author help.

3.3 Export/Import settings

You can export or import settings using the fine-grain exporter system in NG Preferences. As for now, only NG Console and NG Hub are exportable.

Note: Before exporting, these windows must be on screen!
