Great work pal! This is an excellent supplement to the Assembly Definitions video I made, and goes into more technical detail about what's ACTUALLY happening and why. Love it. Will be sharing this on the Discord.

not sure you will read this but I used to love your videos, always chill + concise and to the point. but then they became poorly acted telenovelas and that made me left. It truly felt like you didn't care at all about the viewer's time but rather the view time and you were just looking for ways to pad out your video length. total opposite of old school infallible code

[@pszznm]

Hype! Can we expect that if we do it ourselves, it can be much faster than the Unity way?

[@axelman145]

Soo looking forward to what you have to say on the DLL thing!:))

[@earthinvader3517]

The issue is when you place you code in external DLL (not the assembly definition way), you lost the stacktrace line number information. I used this approach before and when an error occurs inside a function from the DLL, I could not know the exact line that raise the exception. The time to to track the issue in this case could exceed the compile time. ( My project is not huge so my compile time is not very long so I simply prefer to put my code in the project). It doesn't mean its not worth putting code in external dll. Some hard to change stable codes could be extracted to DLL to help a bit.

[@JasonStorey]

Did you delete the PDB file that was included with your debug build? That is what it is for. It maintains stack trace information for debugging into dlls. It also wont be created for you if you build in release mode as it assumes... you are releasing.

[@earthinvader3517]

@@JasonStorey I did copy paste the PDB alongside the debug DLL but don't know why the stacktrace show line 0 for all stack frames. It was so frustrating and I gave up. Anyway, thanks for the reply. Really didn't expect that. Looking forward to your next video.

[@jeniferirwin]

I love assembly definitions. I've been using them since IC covered them and I find it to be a really pleasing way to organize things. I haven't yet built a project that is big enough to really have a noticeable change in compile times, but I'm glad to know that I'll be easily taking advantage of the shorter compile times when I *do* make a big project, because I'm already in the habit of making assembly definitions. It's kinda cool that we can pretty easily identify what games were built in Unity because of the Assembly-CSharp thing! I always love learning that a game has been made in Unity because that means I can look at it and say 'I can make something like this happen if I put my mind to it.'

[@handleneeds3charactersormore]

man here explaining how this issue hurts iteration processes and you come up with compile times 💀💀💀

[@jeffmccloud905]

great video. been using C# and VS for 20 years, so separate DLLs, references, namespaces, etc. are second nature to me. but when I got into Unity, it seemed confusing and limited. this is a strange little method to make separate DLLs but this practice should be much more common. Example: if you need to patch the network code in your game. If your network logic is in its own assembly, your patch might only need to distribute that one small DLL.

[@midniteoilsoftware]

I tried adding assembly definitions to my game and got a ton of "type or namespace missing errors." For example, it no longer liked the TMPro using statements.

[@cognos23]

You have to select your assembly and add in section 'Assembly Definition References' your dependecies, for example your TextMeshPro should be named like unity.TextMeshPro.dll. Don't forget to hit apply on the bottom. Afterwards the change is active and the compiler errors should disappear.

[@FileTh1rt3en]

@@cognos23 What about finding the name of an assembly definition that isn't named the same as it's namespace, like StarterAssets?

[@cognos23]

@@FileTh1rt3en I have not come across this particular case yet. However, if you select a C# file in Unity, you can see the DLL name under 'Assembly Information'.

[@rohitaug]

This seems really cool. If I understand correctly, creating assembly definitions allows you to compile scripts into separate DLLs so that when a change is made to a script only the associated DLL needs to be recompiled instead of the entire Unity project. If that is the case, I'm confused as to why you would need to build the DLLs manually instead of letting Unity handle it. Does Unity rebuild all DLLs in the project by default each time? That seems like it would defeat the purpose of assembly definitions.

[@pliniomourao]

Good question.

[@Belliger1991]

Depends on what is the default assembly definition, it seams to automaticly create a new unique assembly so nothing breaks, most likely with a hash as name and afterwards links it in. If you write you own it is fixed as well so it should partly resolve the issue. (Plugins will not adhere and still clutter it up over time) But if you build external you can make shure all changes are covered in this newway with no leftovers cluttering it up :)

[@edez6177]

but this happened to me when i update, i mean i was in the 2019 version and i was okay, I never got this "reload script assemblies" bar, but when i update to 2021 version this bar appears to me every time i do something

[@jtmcfarland3512]

Will we ever get the second half? Kinda hard to utilize at my level of inexperience only with part 1. 😅

[@DeepWorksStudios]

I agree

[@rickloyd8208]

I gave it a try to manually compile assemblies from Visual Studio and also I had to use Editor script, which was monitoring files for changes to make Unity reload. It was faster than auto compile in Unity but I give up because you had to disable asset reload done by Unity and there was a chance that you forget about it and spend hours, searching for a bug, while all problems was caused by cached assembly. As for now, 1-3 sec delay seems to be the best way. Also, I am thinking to split code between logic and UI. The first one can be tested within Visual Studio using test. Oh and tried JetBrains which allows you to test Unity within its own editor but it has way too much bugs, critical for my workflow.

I finished that dll process months ago, but CAN"T wait to see how you do it. Great series of videos so far. I don't remember if I saw you anywhere else, but your solo videos are working out soo much better. I would LOVE a video on Marvin, and that other project manager one. Obsidian. I think I get obsidian, since its free'ish. BUt 'amazing' Marvin, the one I found was paid. So WOULD love a break down and more real life how you do it vs their help project. AND how you setup windows desktops. I think I could do the desktops, but a quick overview would rock! AND do you have a better work flow for your tags, html, mark up code for Obsidian. LIKE how you built that, HOW to replace default unity scripts. I need that level of documentation, but easy to look up. Was looking like a nice html webpage, but was in Obsidian I gather.

[@Asylum3D]

Agreed. I have been making a huge game for a few years. Assembly Def's are a life saver. It takes to long to recompile everything every time. More time coding, less time waiting.
