Weatherade incompatibility?

Marrech_h · January 17, 2025, 8:36pm

A* version: 5.3.1 Pro
Unity version: 6000.0.29f1

Hi, recently, I tried including the Weatherade plugin in a project. Within the already ongoing project, it was difficult to identify the issue, so I created a new project and added one plugin at a time. I noticed that the errors appeared when A* was added to the project.
I assume the errors stem from some conflict with A*'s rendering system. I’m attaching the errors.

Has anyone dealt with this issue before?
The errors also occur even if no graph is present in the scene, they appear immediately after adding the plugin.

4 errors:

Ah I see, yeah looks possibly like it?

Would you be able to try this really quick in a blank project with Weatherade and Astar?

Marrech_h · January 19, 2025, 12:24am

Yes I have already tried, it’s between them that the conflict occurs, is there any solution?

tealtxgr · January 20, 2025, 4:13pm

No idea how I missed this… well Friday was pretty silly on my end Sorry for questioning it before.

As for a solution, I’ll have to tag @aron_granberg on this and see if he knows anything about it. I’d suspect this is beyond Weatherade- kinda like how if two cars crash, the cars work fine…just not smashed into each other haha. In this metaphor Unity’s the road

Speculation aside, I’ll have to see what Aron knows about it

aron_granberg · January 20, 2025, 8:03pm

Hi

I believe this is caused by Weatherade sometimes rendering the scene with no depth map attached. The drawing code in A* cannot handle that at the moment, though I have some plans to fix this.

Marrech_h · January 26, 2025, 7:57pm

Same problem with MicroSplat - Trax

aron_granberg · January 27, 2025, 12:15pm

Hi

I have managed to replicate this, and I think I have a good fix in place. It will be included in the next update.
I’m not quite sure how Weatherade or MicroSplat does its rendering, so please report back how it goes.

Marrech_h · January 28, 2025, 9:03pm

Thanks, I will import A* again when you update and let you know if it solved it, I have been using A* for a long time, I’m so fond of it, it would have been a shame not to be able to use it here for this problem.
Thanks for the support

PS: Fix is present in 5.3.2?

tealtxgr · January 29, 2025, 3:50pm

It looks like that post was made the same day as 5.3.2 was posted, so it looks like it’ll be in the next patch. I didn’t see it in 5.3.2’s patch notes. Sorry about that Should be out relatively soon though

Scratch that, I think it is in 5.3.2:

Fixed an exception could be thrown when cameras were rendered without a color target.

Marrech_h · January 29, 2025, 6:32pm

I think it didn’t solve it completely, this is what happens with MicroSplat Trax after Scan (Recast Graph). The configuration seems correct to me

Hmm not 100% sure, may be something totally unrelated? Or only semi-related, as this looks to be an error with gizmo drawing not rendering. Looked into the method to see how another asset may be involved if at all but I’m not seeing anything at cursory glance. I’ll have to see what Aron thinks on this one also.

Marrech_h · January 31, 2025, 8:07am

I thought it was related since both errors seem to come from the gizmo drawing methods

aron_granberg · February 3, 2025, 2:01pm

While it’s coming from the gizmo drawing method, it’s actually unrelated to the other error message, and gizmo rendering in general.
That seems to indicate that the graph data is corrupt in some way.
Can you reliably replicate this?

Marrech_h · February 12, 2025, 9:37am

Sorry for the late response, yep I deleted and created the recast nav and the errors disappeared, as you said it was probably corrupted, thank you so much for the support
