Steam is set apart from similar services primarily by its community features, completely automated game update process, and its use of in-game functionality. It is used to distribute a large number of games and related media entirely over the Internet, from small independent efforts to larger, more popular games. I envision a package with assets and code, in the same way as an OOP library/DLL/Framework is used: include it, use what you need from it and be done.altho chances are that we will never get to this point, unless someone with a lots of degrees and well known, speaks up and make it happen.Steam is a digital distribution, digital rights management, multiplayer and communications platform developed by Valve Corporation. The problem with the packages and assets is that if you have a small internal HD, you are forced to import all, save the project on the external drive and open a new one, with the result that you get a ton of single files that defy the purpose of a Unity package.Īs much as I love the idea of having folders that I can explore, would be maybe time to make something different, so we kill 2 birds with one stone. I don't believe that there is a concern about piracy of items sold on the store, since each of the seller has a list of username and purchase receipts, so if you are in doubt, you can always ask the person using your assets, for their info to check their license. I find it annoying that the packages are not downloaded in a selectable destination.after all I don't get the point of encrypting, since you can just save the whole project, zip it and give it away. Junction created for C:\Users\leprasmurf\AppData\Roaming\Unity\Asset Store > D:\Unity\_Assets

So that should give you an example of how you could "symlink" your asset folder.Ĭ:\Users\leprasmurf\AppData\Roaming\Unity>xcopy /E /V /I /F /Y "C:\Users\leprasmurf\AppData\Roaming\Unity\Asset Store\*" "D:\Unity\_Assets\"Ĭ:\Users\leprasmurf\AppData\Roaming\Unity>rd /S /Q "C:\Users\leprasmurf\AppData\Roaming\Unity\Asset Store"Ĭ:\Users\leprasmurf\AppData\Roaming\Unity>mklink /J "C:\Users\leprasmurf\AppData\Roaming\Unity\Asset Store" "D:\Unity\_Assets" Xcopy /E /V /I /F /Y "c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\" "D:\steam\"Ĭmd /C rd /S /Q "c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\"Ĭmd /C mklink /J "c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\" "D:\steam\" When you select the folder, it spits out the following commands: SteamMover also allows you to run the commands manually. There's an awesome app for Steam that automates moving folders from one drive to another for the aforementioned SSD/RAID scenario.
