Was unable to build assets, LiteNetLib not found in Unity

[StanSwanborn]

Hi!

Not sure if it is due to me being completely new to Unity. But followed your README and got stuck on building assets bundle and scripts. Unity error: could not find LiteNetLib.dll - it was not building any DLLs into the /build folder :(

It was correctly installed and available through NuGet in VS in the Multiplayer project itself, but Unity was unable to find it.
Had to install the Unity Package Manager NuGet for Unity and install LiteNetLib manually, after which it built! :)

Did I do something wrong on initial cloning / setup? I did use the prescribed Unity version etc... thought I might let you know, maybe it's a nice addition to the Getting Started section?

Cheers,
Stan

Hi @StanSwanborn,

I've had a look, and it's nothing you're doing wrong. The original Unity Editor project included an outdated, customised version of LiteNetLib.

When we switched to Steam Networking I removed it from the Unity Editor workflow but failed to update Exporter.cs. I have updated the script and pushed the changes to all of the branches.

When the switch was made the latest version of LiteNetLib was added as a GNU package in the main mod project to replace the version in the Unity Editor project. The latest version has some useful enhancements for serialisation and has a vastly better packet ID system.

Side note - if you're planning on doing anything character-wise, please take a look at the character-improvements branch - I'm very new to Unity myself, so I've only been experimenting on that branch to learn the basics of animation for future addition of new player models.

Cheers,
Andrew
