Database Plugin/Editor Profile

Atavism 10.4.0+

Unity Atavism Editor Configuration

With Ataivsm 10.4.0 Ataivsm Editor inside Unity should be configured automatically based on the Ataivsm Standalone Editor profile file, so any manual configuration of the Atavism Unity Editor is obsolete. Information about database connections is visible only for verification that everything is set properly.

Before you can access and save data to the database the profile needs to be set up.

Engine Type: Choose between Unity and Unreal. In the later stage, the engine type will define engine-specific settings.

Project Folder: Defines project directory without the Assets directory.

Mobs Folder: Defines directory in relation to Project Folder, which will be automatically open for prefabs related to mobs (default: /Assets/Resources).

Items Folder: Defines directory in relation to Project Folder, which will be automatically open for prefabs related to items (default: /Assets/Resources/Content/EquipmentDisplay).

Build Object Folder: Defines directory in relation to Project Folder, which will be automatically open for prefabs related to build objects (default: /Assets/Resources/Content/BuildObjects).

Search Metadata: Defines the string that will be used to find editor icons and cache them (default: textureType: 8).

Dynamic items count: Defines the number of items on dynamic lists, like items, abilities, effects, to keep proper performance with high volume data. This number of elements will be loaded automatically on the list, and then the “show more” button will appear, to load the next batch of data. The default value is 10).

Icons to show in File Manager: Defines the number of icons loaded per page in the File Manager that handles icons presentation/selection (default: 50).

Image width: Defines icons maximum width that will be used and saved in the database. If the icon is larger then it will be scaled down but with keeping scale ratio (default: 128 pixels).

Image height: Defines icons maximum height that will be used and saved in the database. If the icon is larger then it will be scaled down but with keeping scale ratio (default: 128 pixels).

There are 4 database connections, to 4 different databases:

Admin

Each connection has the option to specify:

Host – IP address or domain name,
