I envision a package with assets and code, in the same way as an OOP library/DLL/Framework is used: include it, use what you need from it and be done.altho chances are that we will never get to this point, unless someone with a lots of degrees and well known, speaks up and make it happen. The problem with the packages and assets is that if you have a small internal HD, you are forced to import all, save the project on the external drive and open a new one, with the result that you get a ton of single files that defy the purpose of a Unity package.Īs much as I love the idea of having folders that I can explore, would be maybe time to make something different, so we kill 2 birds with one stone. I don't believe that there is a concern about piracy of items sold on the store, since each of the seller has a list of username and purchase receipts, so if you are in doubt, you can always ask the person using your assets, for their info to check their license.
Unity assets explorer download zip#
I find it annoying that the packages are not downloaded in a selectable destination.after all I don't get the point of encrypting, since you can just save the whole project, zip it and give it away.
Junction created for C:\Users\leprasmurf\AppData\Roaming\Unity\Asset Store > D:\Unity\_Assets
Unity assets explorer download install#
So that should give you an example of how you could "symlink" your asset folder.Ĭ:\Users\leprasmurf\AppData\Roaming\Unity>xcopy /E /V /I /F /Y "C:\Users\leprasmurf\AppData\Roaming\Unity\Asset Store\*" "D:\Unity\_Assets\"Ĭ:\Users\leprasmurf\AppData\Roaming\Unity>rd /S /Q "C:\Users\leprasmurf\AppData\Roaming\Unity\Asset Store"Ĭ:\Users\leprasmurf\AppData\Roaming\Unity>mklink /J "C:\Users\leprasmurf\AppData\Roaming\Unity\Asset Store" "D:\Unity\_Assets" Now I can see the asset I've added from within a Unity project, but instead of any option to download or install the asset I only have the option to 'Update' it, which makes no sense whatsoever as when I view the asset from my browser I have the option to 'Open in Unity'. Xcopy /E /V /I /F /Y "c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\" "D:\steam\"Ĭmd /C rd /S /Q "c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\"Ĭmd /C mklink /J "c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\" "D:\steam\" When you select the folder, it spits out the following commands: SteamMover also allows you to run the commands manually.
There's an awesome app for Steam that automates moving folders from one drive to another for the aforementioned SSD/RAID scenario.
