NEW Squarebite version 3 is up on Asset Store

[Super Admin]

HI everyone, i have to announce this new version that i am working on, it's different than previous versions and far easier to use and understand. I need few more days to finish everything and it will be up as soon as possible.
This version will not include Daikon Forge yet, but next version will, so as soon i upload this version 3.0, i will start working on 3.1 with Daikon Forge package. Had some difficulties with those people from Daikon, basically i can't include anything that is from Daikon Forge so i will have to find another way. But inventory as it is now it will be more customizable and many of you will be able to include any other GUI instead of native GUI.
This version is basically transition between old and new version and once everyone get new version and they are familiar with it i will complete and add some of your requests. In next few updates you will see few different type if inventories, inventory as backpack and later on plan to add Skyrim and Diablo type of inventories which will be awesome

Thank you all for your support, i hope you will enjoy this new version, i will post here as soon i upload it to Unity Asset Store.
Cheers!!!

Nice I was looking at buying this real soon... I'm actually here trying to see if you can make diablo/system shock 2 type inventories where the inventory is more like a Tetris game... But I guess Squarebite inventory can't do this yet?

Hi and thanks for asking, this inventory as it is now can do something like that but yo have to mix things up and code a lot. I plan to implement that kind of inventory in future updates, Diablo inventory is great thing and i will need it for one of my upcoming games and ofc i will do that in Squarebite first. Diablo inventory is based on drag and drop and not sorting by lists + some different slot size so i have to add a lot of things in existing one. Planned to sell it as different package but i decided to create it with this one, cause i want it to be best inventory you can get on asset store

Anyways i have to mention something, when i complete this current update, price will be 35$ which is 15$ more than current price, and in future updates price will raise up to 50$ but that will require few different types of inventory like Diablo, Skyrim, Daikon Forge implementation and more professional look overall.

Hope this clarify your thoughts
Cheers!!!

Cool thanks for the heads up! Pretty sad there's no diablo style inventory system on the asset store, that would just destroy all

Any news on the update bud? I am just itching to give the new version a whirl!

Hi, sorry for delay, version is complete, just have to upload it when i wake up tomorrow, have some small thing to fix. I spent 4 or 5 days on serializing things with serializer, gave me tons of problems but i managed to solve them somehow. Now you will be able to easy setup what you want to save, will make video about that and i created additional scene where things are ready to be saved. Unity serializer is buggy when it comes to saving FSM components so we have to avoid that, other way to save is to serialize desired hash tables and on load we just get that values and redesign scene This save is very powerful feature now, it can work on anything on scene, items on scene, inventory items, container items, enemies, animations, everything basically, just store it onto Hash Table and you are good to go Pattern is so good that i will use it in any of my future games. I am sorry for not be able to finish it sooner but it is almost complete and i hope you guys will enjoy new update. As i said, once it is completed i will work on Diablo update which will be awesome

Cheers!!!

I have to announce that new version is complete and uploaded to the Asset store and it will take few days to pass QA review and it will be ready to use. No global variables inside of this version, so please backup your projects before updating Squarebite inventory, file that contains global events and variables is still inculded, and i don't know will it owervrite your file or it will just merge two files and add events only, didn't have time to test that, wanted to finish version as soon as possible. New videos will come soon too, it is similar but still different approach now to inventory and also have to show people how to use save feature and how to store desired values. After i complete new videos i will start working on Diablo look inventory update.
When you install new version and encounter any bug or problem, just let me know

Cheers people !!!

You told me this one would be a bit easier to integrate with a First person shooter style correct? Anything I should know about how to accomplish that? I got pretty far with it but had that problem with the camera not freezing while inventory was open and the mouse curser kept resetting to center every time I clicked on something. Now that your finished with this version any suggestions on how to avoid those two probs?

[Super Admin]

Those kind of problems will not happen, because in player FSM you can setup what to do with camera, and now only one camera will set to render GUI layer. When new version is up, try to make what you want i guess it will be easier now to integrate system. You can lock mouse if you want, will that help>?

[zax]

Yeah sounds like it just might work bud. I'm anxiously awaiting QA to pass it through. As soon as it does I will be certain to put it through the ringer and let you know my results. The mouse thing and the camera were my two biggest hang ups so going to love it if those play nice with my frame work now. I will keep you posted when I get my hands on it.

It took some time for QA but version is up on store now and passed QA review.
Backup your project before updating to new version an let me know what happened with your global variables when new version is imorted. New videos coming soon, you have only one new video for now on YOUTUBE and today there will more.
If you see in your project that red notification like in tutorial, just change your layout and that will disappear.
Enjoy!!!
