troubleshoot issues of installing tiny mode on unity 2019.1

Introduction

According to documentation, Tiny Mode package was implemented on Unity 2018.3 initially, maybe that’s why I encountered some issues while installing the package on Unity 2019.1. The following are the issues and the fixes.

Version

• Unity 2019.1.4f1
• Tiny Mode 0.14.5-preview

Troubleshooting

• Error occurs right after installing the Tiny Mode package

[email protected]AssetExporter.cs(712,38): error CS1061: 'TMP_FontAsset' does not contain a definition for 'characterDictionary' and no accessible extension method 'characterDictionary' accepting a first argument of type 'TMP_FontAsset' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Current version of Tiny Mode doesn’t support the latest TextMeshPro. We need to downgrade the TextMeshPro to 1.3.0 like the image below.

• Failed to execute Import Samples in the menu of Tiny Mode

Exception: Failed to update dependencies:

Make sure the project path doesn’t contain any space.

• Can’t find the Workshop folder mentioned in the workshop video

The Workshop folder mentioned in the video was for demonstration. The full version of the project can be found at /Assets/TinySamples/BasicWorkshop.

• There is no MainGroup in the scene of BasicWorkshop project

MainGroup and other EntityGroup were placed in the /Assets/TinySamples/BasicWorkshop/Entities.
