Unity bug or photon bug? (build dependencies prob)

mindlube

Unity 3.5.0f1
Create new empty project
import Photon Unity Networking from asset store
save *empty* scene
build your standalone player on Mac
Look at Editor log. It's including all the Assets from Photon including the Demo scene and about 3MB of textures. See bold items below.

Let me know if I should submit a Unity bug report on this or if it's a Photon issue. Thanks! Alex

Hmm...I think it's happening with other packages too... to varying degrees. I posted a note on the Unity Beta list.

Seeing that its even including the scene it must be a 3.5 bug indeed.

mindlube

Yeah I think so.. according to Unity engineer it's normal for the scripts to all be included. However textures and prefabs seems wrong to me. I will submit a bug report to Unity. It's easy to just delete the DemoWorker folder before building (if I can remember that is

mindlube

Aras from Unity just clarified: it's because you have a folder named "Resources" and so it's including the prefab that's in there, during any build. You should rename that to DemoWorkerResources or something else!
Thanks,
Alex

Arg sorry, I don't know where I thought you said it included the scene.
For the demo the prefab needs to be under a resources folder as that is required for PhotonNetwork.Instantiate.

You can just remove the demo folder after integrating a new version of PUN. Furthermore if you dont want to rely on Resources/ folders when using PhotonNetwork.Instantiate, you'll have to allocate viewIDs manually.

Ah OK I think I see what you mean. So far my usage of Photon is only RPCs but I'll keep that in mind. Thanks -Alex
