In this part, I will prepare the project based on the kit's demo, by duplicates init scene which is the scene which has a game instance which will initializing game data when game starting, home scene which will be loaded after game instance initialized it's a scene for start game menu, character management, option and so on (Up to you) and then create new game database but still uses demo's in-game objects and UIs.
Folders preparation
Let's start from create folders
You can create folders in for an assets by right click in Project tab, then select menu Create -> Folder
I've create following folders:
Assets/LevelingAssets/Leveling/GameDataAssets/Leveling/GameData/ItemsAssets/Leveling/GameData/MonsterCharactersAssets/Leveling/GameData/PlayerCharactersAssets/Leveling/GameData/MapsAssets/Leveling/ScenesAssets/Leveling/Scenes/Maps
I've defined the project name to Leveling so I create Leveling folder which will have content for this project, project folder structure may changes later.
Game database, NPC database, Warp portal database and gameplay rule preparation
Then I will create new game database, NPC database, warp portal database and gameplay rule for this project by
- Right click
Assets/Leveling/GameDatafolder, then select menuCreate -> Create GameDatabase -> Game Database(I've set it name toLevelingGameDb) - Right click
Assets/Leveling/GameDatafolder, then select menuCreate -> Create GameDatabase -> Npc Database(I've set it name toLevelingNpcDb) - Right click
Assets/Leveling/GameDatafolder, then select menuCreate -> Create GameDatabase -> Warp Portal Database(I've set it name toLevelingWarpPortalDb) - Right click
Assets/Leveling/GameDatafolder, then select menuCreate -> Create GameplayRule -> Default Gameplay Rule(I've set it name toLevelingGameplayRule)
Init scene and home scene preparation
After that I will duplicate scenes from the demo, so when I made changes to my project it won't affect the demo.
Open folder Assets/UnityMultiplayerARPG/Demo/Scenes/ select 00Init and 01Home then press CRTL + D keys to duplicate (For Mac users, may use CMD + D keys)
Then move it to Assets/Leveling/Scenes folder by drag it and drop it, and rename it (In this post, I will set name to 00_Leveling_Init and 01_Leveling_Home
After that open 00_Leveling_Init scene to set created databases , gameplay rule and duplicated home scene to game instance
Save the scene, then add duplicated scenes to Scenes In Build by open the dialog from menu File -> Build Settings...
Then drag duplicated scenes: 00_Leveling_Init and 01_Leveling_Home into Scenes In Build section
Now you can start game from 00_Leveling_Init scene so you have to open 00_Leveling_Init before press play. When press play it will load 01_Leveling_Home scene but still can't create character yet because it doesn't has any character to create yet.
In next part, I will tell you how to create new map and character.
