This release introduces support for addressable scenes.

There are breaking changes to settings. Please visit the settings page and re-apply all your settings as soon as you update.

Breaking Changes

• SceneGuidToPathMapGenerator is renamed to SceneDataMapsGenerator.
• SceneGuidToPathMapGenerationTriggers is renamed to SceneDataMapsGeneratorTriggers.
• Settings changes:
  • Scene GUID to Path Map (new name Scene Data Maps) category:
    • The category is renamed from SceneGuidToPathMap to SceneDataMaps.
    • Key of the GenerationTriggers setting is changed from SceneGuidToPathMap.GenerationTriggers to SceneDataMaps.GenerationTriggers.
    • Key of the JsonFormatting setting is changed from SceneGuidToPathMap.JsonFormatting to SceneDataMaps.JsonFormatting.
    • Key of the FailBuildIfGenerationFails setting is changed from SceneGuidToPathMap.FailBuildIfGenerationFails to SceneDataMaps.FailBuildIfGenerationFails.
  • Property Drawer category:
    • ShowInlineSceneInBuildUtility setting is renamed to ShowInlineToolbox. The key is also changed from PropertyDrawer.ShowInlineSceneInBuildUtility to PropertyDrawer.ShowInlineToolbox.
• All exceptions are moved from the Eflatun.SceneReference namespace to the new Eflatun.SceneReference.Exceptions namespace.
• Following valiation properties are removed from SceneReference. They are instead replaced with a more informative State property. See the Added section.
  • IsInSceneGuidToPathMap: removed.
  • IsInBuildAndEnabled: removed.
  • IsSafeToUse: removed.
  • HasValue: no longer public.
• SceneReferenceOptionsAttribute changes:
  • Coloring field is renamed to SceneInBuildColoring. It still controls the same cases of coloring, but they are no longer all the coloring options. See the Changes section.
  • UtilityLine field is removed. Its replacement is the Toolbox field. See the Added section.

Added

• SceneDataMapsGenerator now also generates a scene GUID to address map. The map will be empty if addressables support is disabled.
• New map generation triggers:
  • AfterPackagesResolve: Triggers after packages are resolved.
  • AfterAddressablesChange: Triggers after addressable groups change.
• Property drawer can optionally color addressables scenes differently to draw attention to them.
• New inline utilties:
  • Make Addressable: Makes the scene addressable.
• New settings:
  • Addressables Support (AddressablesSupport) category:
    • ColorAddressableScenes setting: If enabled, scene references that have an addressable scene will be colored differently.
    • An info box that displays the current addressables support status.
• New exceptions:
  • AddressNotFoundException
  • AddressNotUniqueException
  • AddressablesSupportDisabledException
  • SceneNotAddressableException
• SceneGuidToAddressMapProvider class: Provides a map of scene GUIDs to their address. Very similar to SceneGuidToPathMapProvider, with the exception that it cannot provide an inverse map. This is because the address of an asset is not guaranteed to be unique. Instead, it provides GetGuidFromAddress and TryGetGuidFromAddress methods.
• SceneReference.FromAddress factory method: Creates a SceneReference from the given address.
• SceneReference.Address property.
• SceneReference.State property: This property replaces all previously exposed validation methods. It returns a SceneReferenceState enum, which describes the state of the SceneReference in terms of usage.
• SceneReferenceState enum: Describes the state of the SceneReference in terms of usage.
  • Unsafe: The SceneReference is not safe to use.
  • Regular: The SceneReference is safe to use, and it references a regular scene.
  • Addressable: The SceneReference is safe to use, and it references an addressable scene. This state is only possible if addressables support is enabled.
• SceneReferenceOptionsAttribute new fields:
  • Toolbox: Controls the visibility of the toolbox button. It replaces the now deleted UtilityLine field.
  • AddressableColoring: Controls the coloring behaviour of the addressable scenes.
• ToolboxBehaviour enum. Replaces the now deleted UtilityLineBehaviour enum with the same semantics.

Changed

• The concept of Utility Line is replaced with the concept of Toolbox. In summary, instead of drawing buttons as a second line below the field, we instead draw a small button to the end of the field on the same line. When clicked, a toolbox popup appears with all the utilities.
• SceneInBuildColoring argument (previously named Coloring) of SceneReferenceOptionsAttribute still controls the same types of coloring cases, but since they used to be all the cases, the field was implicitly controlling the entire coloring behaviour. While its semantics are not changed, since there are now other coloring cases, it is no longer the only field that controls the entire coloring behaviour.
