Vuforia / Unity 3 crash on importing the Playmaker/Vuforia package [SOLVED]

[harribionic]

Hi all,

Just attempted to get Vuforia going with Playmaker and encountered the:

type == kMetaAssetType && pathName.find ("library/metadata") != 0

error during import of the playmaker/vuforia package. Unity does load up again OK but I get the same result each time. The auto import stopped on the prefab so I guess this is where the issue lies.

Playmaker ver: 1.6.1
Unity: 3.5.7

Any help much appreciated as to where I can go next

Cheers

Stu

Hi,

Vuforia is for Unity 4. The type of error you got is typical when trying to import a Unity 4 package into unity 3

Thanks Jean,

i'll see how I get on with Unity 4.

Actually, is it the playmaker/vuforia package specifically that needs Unity 4? I had Vuforia working fine until I tried importing the package.

If so, would it be useful popping that info on the manual page where you can download the package?

Hi,

 OH, sorry, I did not see that it was actually the package I did that was having this trouble. I'll sort it out. I am always upset when the package doesn't say clearly it's for Unity 4 and I got caught it seems 


bye,

Jean, all the work you do for the playmaker community, it's no big deal

Would there be anyway to get a Unity 3 version of the package?

Thanks

The Vuforia package found here https://developer.vuforia.com/resources/sdk/unity works for Unity 3.

Unfortunately, your plugin only works with Unity 4. As Unity 4 isn't backwards compatible when installed it causes the fatal error as discussed above.

I had sent a PM, but better to discuss on this thread.

Hi,

 Ok, you can redownload from the wiki page, it's now published with Unity 3x.
