- Drag and drop PR_PushNotificationManager script to the game object - Get Pushwoosh application code and gcm project number from google developer console - In the pushwoosh -> application -> configure, configure settings by adding google's API key and project number How to get GCM Project number and API key Open developer console and create a new project https://console.developers.google.com Enable cloud messaging from the dashboard Create API Key and Web key using 0.0.0.0/0 as ip address After everything is setup, build the game, create a test push and check histroy whether the server side has problems and you're ready to go!

add the following line at the activity tag in your androidmanifest.xml file <meta-data android:name="unityplayer.SkipPermissionsDialog" android:value="true" />

Download p4server.exe for windows and install it. Restart the computer after you've installed it. Since it will install as windows service, you don't have to start the service and you're now ready to connect using p4v from local machine. But there will be a problem when you're trying to connect from another service since the perforce service is running on localhost:1666 so it only accept local connection only. You need to bind to 0.0.0.0:1666 but it will be quite hard and have a risk to change default perforce config files.. What you can do is you can modify the host file in other remote machines to connect to the server computer. In windows, hosts file is located at Windows/etc/driver folder and on Mac it's located at sudo nano /etc/hosts add the following line to the host file [your server machine local ip address] perforce Now in the p4v client of the remote machines, you will be able to connect using perforce:1666 Note : Don't forget to tu...

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...

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, a...

46 Tips & Tricks for 2D mobile Performance in Unity by Sickle Brick. If this is your first jump into the world of Unity, my first tip (this one’s a freebie) is to stop trying to use it like other languages and environments. You  will  be using GameObjects, you  will  be adding multiple script components, and you  will  have to think differently. When I first started, my approach was to largely ignore prefabs (or use them like Flash’s display list) and get a copy of Box2D running. Painful as it is to deviate, get ready to put in some work! Without further ado, let’s get started: Physics: -Use the built-in physics. It might seem like a waste of cycles to have a fully 3D physics engine running the show for a 2D game, but bear in mind that the Nvidia PhysX engine will be running in Unity’s native core. We’re talking about a hyper-optimised engine maintained by large professional teams, and not a hobbyist 2D engine. Freeze Z position and X/Y ro...
