Backing up and restoring the asset server database Unity3D

Backing up

We have provided a command line tool to back up an asset server. The tool should be run from an administrator account on the machine running the asset server. Replace BACKUP_LOCATION with the path name you want the backup tool to place the backups:

Mac OS X sudo /Library/UnityAssetServer/bin/as_backup BACKUP_LOCATION

Linux sudo /opt/unity_asset_server/bin/as_backup BACKUP_LOCATION

Windows "%ProgramFiles%\Unity\AssetServer\bin\as_backup.cmd" BACKUP_LOCATION

as_backup will create a directory at BACKUP_LOCATION containing one or more files per project plus files containing information about each project and a backup of all users and their passwords.


Restoring a Backup

To restore an Asset Server backup produced with as_backup, first perform a clean installation of the Asset Server without any projects created. (The restore procedure will refuse to overwrite already existing projects with the same name.)

Then run the provided backup restoration tool, as_restore pointing it to the location of a backup created with as_backup:

Mac OS X sudo /Library/UnityAssetServer/bin/as_restore BACKUP_LOCATION

Linux sudo /opt/unity_asset_server/bin/as_restore BACKUP_LOCATION

Windows "%ProgramFiles%\Unity\AssetServer\bin\as_restore.cmd" BACKUP_LOCATION

Optimising Unity new UI System

UI/Sprite textures aren't packed into a texture atlas by default. A tag is needed to group them. Read the documentation / tutorial on the sprite packer. Overlapping text/graphic boundaries with another text/graphic will create additional draw calls, even if the actual visual graphics do not overlap. Grids (other layouts too I presume) need minimum 1 pixel spacing between items, else items are considered overlapping and will create additional draw calls. Images with alpha 0 are still rendered. They are rendered with alpha 0 even though they are not seen. Unity currently does not support non-rectangle shapes as Sprites, so using the TightSpitePacker policy will cause image artifacts. When UI objects are offscreen, they are still batched (rendered as well?). Possible solutions: Change parent to non-UI parent, as UI Camera will no longer detect it Change layer of panel so UI Camera will no longer detect it Disable gameobject when off-screen ScrollRect performance tuning S

Using XAML on Monogame for WinRT (Part 2)

Integrating Monogame with XAML Metro UI If you're coming from the previous section, you now have a metro UI application project with blank page and also have monogame.windows8 library reference to the project. Now Let's fix some source code for the  pages to get XAML working with monogame. Step01 ( Hacking App.xaml.cs file) App.xaml.cs delivers the most important start point while rendering a particular page in Metro UI application. I added gamePage and mainPage as  a public variables as they become accessible from other classes to for page nagivations. Here is the source code for to see what it looks like for the final App.xaml.cs file. sealed partial class App : Application     {         public ContentManager Content { get; set; }         public GameServiceContainer Services { get; set; }         public GamePage gamePage;         public MainPage mainPage;         public Frame RootFrame { get; set; }         /// <summary>         /// Initializes
