Unity Custom Template in 5 min

[@nomorecookiesuser2223]

I would not have been able to do that without your tutorial. thank you :) Note: on 2023.1 there is a Library folder along with the three you are supposed to copy. do NOT copy that one too

Hey, fistShrimp. Thanks for the awesome Video!!!!!

[@alexeytrusovru]

Thanks a lot for the helpful video!

[@mikechristiansen2000]

Thanks for the Video. I found that simply closing Unity Hub using Close Window Icon (X) does not kill Unity Hub and the new template will not be present on Hub restart. I needed to kill the Hub process in the Task Manager which triggers a full restart when Hub is next started.

Thanks for mentioning this and good to know in the future!

Helped a lot, thanks!

[@virtualaviator]

Thanks...This is what I needed to start prototyping diff versions to save so much time in package importing. I will provide an update if these instructions worked for me...

[@virtualaviator]

I a failed to decompress error when starting a new project based on the template. Maybe my template is too large in size. :(

[@ZombieBowling]

Thank you SO MUCH!

[@Chuube]

it worked for me, thanks a lot!

[@mssiedler]

great😀

[@rickcollins3679]

I am stumped. I am following the instructions to the letter, but it just does not show up in the menu items. I made sure to delete the package folder from the Proejct Templates folder, but I still can't get it to work with Unity Hub 3.2.0 and projects in Unity 2021.3.8f1 ... Does anyone have a suggestion for me to try?

[@wildermedeiros9568]

Did you added the Library folder in the ProjectData too?

[@coozgames]

Great! Greatest!incredible!!! thanks!!!!!!

[@FistFullofShrimp]

Glad it helped!

[@magnusMakesGame]

I am using a mac, I followed all the steps, but when i launched Unity Hub and clicked New Project, it spent about a minute trying to load templates, and afterwards it said that "this editor does not support templates". I would be very happy if you could help me with this, since every time I start work on a multiplayer game I have to import so many packages and scripts from previous projects. Edit: Nevermind, I just had to update to a newer version of Unity and it worked! Thank you for the tutorial!

[@pinkeHelga]

What's the footprint in the JSON for? Shouldn't it be recalculated in some way?

[@RMDK22]

thank u

[@siarheipilat8152]

Doesn't work anymore...

[@brunomercadosarsano993]

thank you, I lost all my templates

[@Lottevdheijden77]

i did everything but i wont show up

[@yodyyoderson]

[@darkdoom907]

alas, I cannot do it, cos, when copying the library, windows says for some folders, that their name is too long for destination folder.

[@3dsteveo765]

I too had this problem. Tried regedit trick for LongFileNames enable, no good! Used 7zip, zipped em up and moved then unzip and remove zip files. However when I try to create new project with template the word "Location" above project path turns red and below project name says path length too long! oh well. Any ideas on how I can shorten path length ?😓

[@Citler]

@@3dsteveo765 ok I had the same problem and found a solution: I created the whole new package in a folder direct in C: (short file names). Important: don´t copy the Library folder of your project, I used the original Library folder in the new template. then in the package.json choose a short "name". then zip it and copy it to the Unity folder.

[@michaelross3061]

It looks like they ship their template data to AppData now

[@FistFullofShrimp]

Probably time to make a new video about this then. Thanks for letting me know!

[@michaelross3061]

@Fist Full of Shrimp you can still find the same folder, but it doesn't change anything in the editor hub. I wound up making a winforms app to manage templates lol

[@qualar]

I hate when apps put large folders in appdata.

[@crishcrish8212]

@@michaelross3061 is there any chance that you could share that winforms app?

[@yodyyoderson]

it didn't work

[@darkdoom907]

And yes, my Project data folder had an extra folder of libraries

I'm a fan of this 🍤

[@SchizoetryOfficial]

Mine isn't showing up in Unity...

[@yodyyoderson]

[@arnavodkaa]

I also have library folder in ProjectData. Should I copy that too?

[@FistFullofShrimp]

If it's chilling inside your ProjectData folder, you should be able to just copy the whole thing over.

[@ronyabdi2390]

With what app you opened the ztg file?

[@FistFullofShrimp]

I use 7zip found here! www.7-zip.org/

[@weckar]

Took a while to get this to work. But I got there in the end. 1. Everything in package.json needs to be alphanumeric. No sashes. 2. version number must have 3 version parts 3. In ProjectSettings/ProjectSettings.asset I had to change the line templateDefaultScene

[@koshkodevochka1]

It works thanks!

[@FistFullofShrimp]

This is a older video, so I'm super happy to hear it's still working. Cheers!🍤🍤🍤
