mmmm on unityforn3ds 1.3.4 (unity editor 5.6.5) I haven't heard of a bug related to sprites or culling, but yes to the UI button object made from the editor...

aniway I'm not using that versión, i'm using unity 5.6.6 (unityforn3ds 1.3.10) and I have never had problems with sprites or buttons made with the unity editor, Only this is that when activating culling occlusion, the 3D objects (some cubes made with unity and a low poly house) and Sprites that move in the scene do not render in the camera when testing in the console or in citra, as if they did not exist.

I know they exist because the collisions of those objects work unlike rendering.

Anyway, I'll try what you suggest and see how it goes, thanks in advance <3
ohh 5.6.6 is that out in the wild? from what I have read that was the most stable version that was ever released for the 3DS.

I am not sure what is the problem.
I faced this problem with the default settings

is it the light? Is it something else?

thanks.

I had weird lighting issues. The one change I made that I know worked for me was turning off reflections in the objects material. under the forward rendering options. not sure if that'll help

Oh, and I changed the main maps source from metallic alpha to albedo alpha, with both smoothness and metallic set to 0

You cant use pixel based shaders aka Fragment shaders. The 3DS GPU was made before that tech was around. Here is the list of working shaders for Unity 5.6.5 .

https://gbatemp.net/threads/how-to-make-3ds-games-with-unity.441193/page-13#post-10303463

hopefully this works never linked to a pervious post before ^_^

What affect are you trying to make? looks like you have a shader that is masking the edges of that wall?
Thank you so much

yeah, although it was somewhat difficult to find it.
The most stable unity for 3ds (that i know) is unityfor3ds-1.3.11 but since it is lost media I don't know if it uses the same version of unity.

1.3.0 is 5.6.5f and 1.3.11 is 5.6.6f2 which means you have the most stable version :)
would you umm...know how one might acquire and unlock said version...
if you know just ping me - I know this is a sensitive subject on gbatemp so don't link anything
if you know just ping me :)

I am also hunting for the Unity 3DS tutorials that use to be hosted on the Devnet but that seems to be be far harder to acquire than an IS-Snake Box it self lol

I don't have 1.3.11, I have 1.3.10 which uses the same version of unity.

and yes, I know where you can find this version on youtube. i would help more to preserve this software so that it does not become lostmedia but my internet is too slow to upload it to the internet archive.

Sorry for my bad English, the translator doesn't work very well for some time ago

Aww you English is good enough man :)
yeah 1.3.1 is still a good version to have, sucks about the slow internet. Maybe a visit to a coffee shop or internet cafe with faster wifi can help with that..do internet cafes still exist? :lol:
Im sure someone has 1.3.11 on a harddrive somewhere just biding his time same with those tutorial files.

well... they still exist here, but the upload speed is worse than mine xd
Tomorrow I am going to hire a new internet provider that supposedly has optical fiber for my area, to finally be able to preserve this and more for future generations

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
