Migrating Your Code

If you access files by names instead of GUIDs, after migration to UNIGINE 2.7.2, you will have to manually migrate the source code.

Addressing Files

Now the virtual path to a file of the external directory will include the name of the mount point. The created mount point cannot provide access to external content in such a way as if it is stored in the root of the data folder (like it was with multiple data paths).

For example, if you have the D:\external_content folder that is specified in the additional -data_path:

  • D:\external_content
    • 1.tga

In UNIGINE 2.7.1, it is addressed as follows:

Source code (C++)
Image::create("1.tga");

However, in UNIGINE 2.7.2, when you replace the additional -data_path with a mount point external_images.umount, you will address the same file as follows:

Source code (C++)
Image::create("external_images/1.tga");

Notice
The same is used for packages.

Migrating Partial Paths

If you actively used partial paths in your project, you should resolve them via the resolvePartialVirtualPath() method, that converts the given partial path to the virtual one, and then use the resulting path.

For example, if you access the data/project/image_1.tga by using the partial virtual path image_1.tga, now you should get the full virtual path first:

Source code (C++)
// transform partial virtual to full virtual path
String resolved_path = FileSystem::resolvePartialVirtualPath("image_1.tga"); // project/image_1.tga is returned
// use the resolved path
Image::create(resolved_path);

JointWheel Class

setWheelWidth() Removed.
getWheelWidth() Removed.

Light Class

LightEnvironmentProbe Class

LightVoxelProbe Class

Material Class

New Functions and Variables

Node Class

UNIGINE 2.7.1 UNIGINE 2.7.2
AXIS_X Moved to Unigine::Math namespace.
AXIS_Y Moved to Unigine::Math namespace.
AXIS_Z Moved to Unigine::Math namespace.
AXIS_NX Moved to Unigine::Math namespace.
AXIS_NY Moved to Unigine::Math namespace.
AXIS_NZ Moved to Unigine::Math namespace.
setSpatial() Renamed setPortalCullingEnabled().
isSpatial() Renamed isPortalCullingEnabled().

As the AXIS_* variables have been moved to the Unigine::Math namespace, you should manually migrate your code:

  • On the C++ side, replace all Node::AXIS_* variables with Math::AXIS_*.
  • On the C# side, replace all Node.AXIS_* with MathLib.AXIS_*.
  • On the UnigineScript side, replace all NODE_AXIS_* with AXIS_*.
