Legends Of Aria Toolkit

1. Create a new Unity project. Consult the Toolkit ChangeLog to see which version of Unity is supported with the given version of the toolkit.
2. From the Unity Asset Store search for Standard Assets and import the Unity provided Standard Assets.
3. From the Unity menu select Assets -> Import Packages -> Custom Package, select the Legends of Aria Toolkit that has been downloaded and import it completely.
4. Optionally you may also wish to install post processing support.
- Note: With Unity 2018.3 and higher the Post Processing Stack asset available via the asset store has errors and does not compile without manual changes. There is now a version 2 of this asset, and a different way to install it.
- From Unity -> Window -> Package Manager search for post processing than install it.
5. At this time you should now have a LoA Toolkit Menu bar item present, and you should also be able to open and run the ShardsToolkit scene without issue.

Upgrading to a new version of the toolkit can be an easy or difficult process. This is in part as it means also upgrading to a new Unity version which often can cause problems. Consult the toolkit change log for any importance notices that might affect upgrading.

1. Upgrade or install another Unity to the proper version.
2. Backup your project.
3. Delete the Legends of Aria Toolkit folder from your project's Assets directory. (Make sure you don't have any project specific files stored in here)
4. Delete the Library folder from your project's root directory. (This will force Unity to do a full re-import)
5. Open your project in the upgraded or new Unity version.
6. Import the new toolkit bundle as from step 3 of Installation of a fresh project.
7. Hopefully at this point you will have a LoA Toolkit menu item again.
8. From LoA Toolkit Menu execute Utils -> Generate LOA Required Tags and Layers
9. From your backup copy over the following files from Assets\Legends of Aria Toolkit\Scripts\Editor\Toolkit\ (ToolsData.asset, ToolkitSettings.asset, WorldStreamManageData.asset ) into the freshly installed Assets\Legends of Aria Toolkit\Scripts\Editor\Toolkit\ folder.
10. Restart Unity / Reload your project.
11. Ideally at this point everything will be working. You may have issues with 3rd party assets/etc that also need updates for the newer Unity version.

1. Upgrade or install another Unity to the proper version.
2. Backup your project.
3. Import the new toolkit bundle as from step 3 of Installation of a fresh project.
4. Hopefully everything works, but it may not.
