# Outdated Unity Setup Guide ## Step 1: AssetRipper Download the latest version of AssetRipper from their GitHub repository at . The name is pretty descriptive of what it does. Extract the zipfile and open AssetRipper.exe. Leave all the settings on default except for `Script Export Format` and `Script Content Level`, these should respectively be set to `Dll Export Without Renaming` and `Level 2` Then drag and drop your game folder (The whole folder called `Core Keeper`) into AssetRipper. Wait until AssetRipper is done loading the game content and then click on `Export > Export all files` in the left upper corner, and select a temporary folder. You should now have a folder with all the assets of the game. It is recommended to copy this to your "projects" folder. The folder you need should have `Assets` folder in it. You can also rename this folder to your liking. ## Step 2: Preparing the folder for Unity ### Set up project manifest Go into the folder in the project root and open folder with the name `Packages`. Create or open file with the name `manifest.json` in the `Packages` folder and paste this into the file: ```json { "dependencies": { "com.unity.2d.sprite": "https://github.com/kremnev8/ModifiedCoreKeeperPackages.git?path=/com.unity.2d.sprite@1.0.0", "com.unity.assetbundlebrowser": "1.7.0", "com.unity.entities": "https://github.com/kremnev8/ModifiedCoreKeeperPackages.git?path=/com.unity.entities@0.51.1-preview.21", "com.unity.ide.rider": "2.0.7", "com.unity.ide.visualstudio": "2.0.16", "com.unity.ide.vscode": "1.2.5", "com.unity.netcode": "0.51.1-preview.21", "com.unity.performance.profile-analyzer": "1.1.1", "com.unity.physics": "https://github.com/kremnev8/ModifiedCoreKeeperPackages.git?path=/com.unity.physics@0.51.1-preview.21", "com.unity.platforms": "0.10.0-preview.10", "com.unity.postprocessing": "3.2.1", "com.unity.profiling.core": "1.0.2", "com.unity.render-pipelines.universal": "12.1.8", "com.unity.rendering.hybrid": "0.51.1-preview.21", "com.unity.scriptablebuildpipeline": "https://github.com/kremnev8/ModifiedCoreKeeperPackages.git?path=/com.unity.scriptablebuildpipeline@1.19.2", "com.unity.shadergraph": "https://github.com/kremnev8/ModifiedCoreKeeperPackages.git?path=/com.unity.shadergraph@12.1.8", "com.unity.test-framework": "1.1.29", "com.unity.textmeshpro": "https://github.com/kremnev8/ModifiedCoreKeeperPackages.git?path=/com.unity.textmeshpro@3.0.6", "com.unity.ugui": "1.0.0", "com.unity.modules.ai": "1.0.0", "com.unity.modules.androidjni": "1.0.0", "com.unity.modules.animation": "1.0.0", "com.unity.modules.assetbundle": "1.0.0", "com.unity.modules.audio": "1.0.0", "com.unity.modules.cloth": "1.0.0", "com.unity.modules.director": "1.0.0", "com.unity.modules.imageconversion": "1.0.0", "com.unity.modules.imgui": "1.0.0", "com.unity.modules.jsonserialize": "1.0.0", "com.unity.modules.particlesystem": "1.0.0", "com.unity.modules.physics": "1.0.0", "com.unity.modules.physics2d": "1.0.0", "com.unity.modules.screencapture": "1.0.0", "com.unity.modules.terrain": "1.0.0", "com.unity.modules.terrainphysics": "1.0.0", "com.unity.modules.tilemap": "1.0.0", "com.unity.modules.ui": "1.0.0", "com.unity.modules.uielements": "1.0.0", "com.unity.modules.umbra": "1.0.0", "com.unity.modules.unityanalytics": "1.0.0", "com.unity.modules.unitywebrequest": "1.0.0", "com.unity.modules.unitywebrequestassetbundle": "1.0.0", "com.unity.modules.unitywebrequestaudio": "1.0.0", "com.unity.modules.unitywebrequesttexture": "1.0.0", "com.unity.modules.unitywebrequestwww": "1.0.0", "com.unity.modules.vehicles": "1.0.0", "com.unity.modules.video": "1.0.0", "com.unity.modules.vr": "1.0.0", "com.unity.modules.wind": "1.0.0", "com.unity.modules.xr": "1.0.0" } } ``` Save `manifest.json` and go back into project root. Make sure that you have git installed and it's executable is in your PATH environment variable. After installing git make sure to close Unity and Unity hub completely! ### Move game assemblies Move all the files in the `Assets/Plugins` folder to somewhere safe and make sure the folder is empty. Note: `Plugins` could be called differently. Devs of Asset Ripper change it's name all the time. If you can't see it, look for a folder in `Assets` folder with `.dll` files in it. ### Delete project settings To prevent your project from crashing go to `ProjectSettings` folder and delete file named `ProjectSettings.asset`. This file seems to contain some broken settings, so deleting it fixes the issue ## Step 3: Installing The right Unity version. Install Unity version `2021.3.14f1` from the Unity Download Archive: . Go through the standard Unity installation and wait until it's done. ## Step 4: Opening the project. Open the Unity hub and select the folder you created when exporting the AssetRipper files. Open the project with Unity version `2021.3.14f1` and wait for it to load. This can take a while. ## Step 5: Adding Script Assemblies Find the temp folder in where you placed files from Plugins folder earlier. Copy paste all contents from the script **EXCEPT** the following: * All Unity assemblies which start with `Unity.` (errors will occur due to duplicate assemblies if these are pasted in) * `Assembly-CSharp` back into `Assets/MonoScript`. **Note:** keep assemblies with `Sentry` in the name, even if they have `Unity` in the name Make sure that you are doing this while Unity is **RUNNING**. Otherwise it will crash! ## Step 6: Adding Editor Kit Download Editor Kit package from github: and place it's contents in the assets folder. In your project settings change URP rendering asset from PugRP to one in the Editor Kit package. ## Step 7: Restart Unity Restart Unity to fully get the project assembled. ## Step 8: Profit You should now be able to see the assets in the Unity editor. Enjoy and make some cool stuff. ## Utilities and helpful tools There might be missing script references.
