Title: Fsm's and Actions just showing hash
Post by: stoffl on August 20, 2017, 02:14:07 AM
Hi,
it would be great if anybody could help me with this. Fsm's and Actions just showing hash and Actions are overlayed.

What i did:
I accidentally started an older version of unity with my current project. I canceled the import and opened the project with the right newer version. My fsm's where missing. I changed to force text in editor settings, than i appllied the missing fsm script. All was good on one fsm. I saw that i appllied the plamaker web dll instead of playmaker dll, so i quit unity without saving and restarted again to apply the playmaker dll, but my fsm's showed up like this(see image).

I guess i have to learn it the hard way. No backup since 5 days...
You know the moments when one eye is slowy starting to twitch...This is one of them.

Hi,
this looks indeed very bad
Have you tried reinstalling playmaker

After importing if it does not show the installer, go to playmaker/install and open the playmaker package

Thank's djaydino,

i tried to reinstall playmaker, but didn't work out. I forgot to mention that i opened the playmaker.dll with the windows editor instead of the playmaker.dll.mdb to get the GUID...The Checkmark for "Always use the selected program" was on... Maybe that causes the error. I deleted that with regedit but didn't work. Now i'm downloading unity 2017 to install playmaker from start and importing the exported szene

Did you have debug on?

Is only playmaker showing hash? What about other components?

[Edit: I see you solved the cause]

Debug is off. It just appears on Playmaker related stuff.
It's also not working, and missing references
getting 999+ error massages:
Could Not Create Action: [missing Owner]: 46534d: 4172726179204c697374204164642070726963655553: 4875746f6e6747616d65732e506c61794d616b65722e416374696f6e732e41727261794c697374416464 (Maybe the script was removed?)

Thank's for your input!

Hi,

 woah, Never seen that before... That's not looking good at all.

If references go lost during old Unity compilation process, I am not sure there is a way to get it back. This sucks indeed...

have you tried "Re import all" from Unity asset menu?

 bye,

Jean

Hi jean,
yes i tried it all. It looks like the metafile got destroyed somehow. Templates i made are also not useable. All playmaker names, variables and values are hashes with new hash references in debug. I started all over again. At least all graphic components and the structures of the scenes are still there.
Thank's for your help!

Hi,

 ouch... indeed it's never a good idea to mess up Unity versions especially downgrading.

To prevent further similar situation, I strongly recommand using github or bitbucket ( Free for private use), and host your project with it, ALL my projects are on github and bitbucket, I never lost anything because it's all remote, so if indeed I mess up Unity version and corrupt my local copy, not a problem, I simply get the version back from the remote copy hosting on github.

Bye,

 Jean

Thank's for your tip Jean. I definitely need a good backup solution after that crash.

Hi,
Github/sourcetree combination.
