📑 Documentation

Jungle uses an intuitive node-based editor to help developers to effortlessly integrate complex game systems visually. With Jungle, creating missions, dialogues, cutscenes, tutorial systems, scripted events, and so much more, becomes a seamless process, all within a single unified editor. This approach not only enhances the development workflow but also empowers teams to experiment and iterate on gameplay elements with ease. By abstracting the technical complexities into visual nodes that can be easily connected together, Jungle facilitates a more collaborative and flexible development workflow, opening up new possibilities for game design and storytelling.

🌴 How it Works:

To create Jungle nodes, write a C# script inheriting from a Jungle Node type, each encapsulating a game function or logic piece. The editor automates node visualization and connection management. Nodes can be linked in a Jungle Tree to create sequences.

This workflow significantly simplifies the development process by delineating programming and design aspects, thereby enabling designers to actively engage with sequence creation. It effectively lowers the traditional programming hurdles, facilitating a more inclusive and collaborative development environment.

By abstracting complex code into visually manageable elements, Jungle ensures that the technical side of game development becomes more approachable for team members with varied skill sets. This approach not only accelerates the design process but also enhances creative freedom, allowing for the easy experimentation and iteration of game sequences.

Moreover, Jungle's system promotes a modular design philosophy. By treating each node as a distinct piece of logic or function, developers can build sophisticated game mechanics from simple, reusable components. This modularity benefits not just the initial development phase but also the maintenance and expansion stages of the project, as individual elements can be modified or extended without impacting the overall system unnecessarily.

Jungle offers a powerful toolset for bridging the gap between programming and creative design, enabling a smoother, more efficient pathway from concept to completion in game development.

🤝 Beginner Friendly:

Whether you're new to Unity or programming itself, Jungle is designed with simplicity in mind. The user-friendly interface makes it easy for anyone to start creating sequences without a steep learning curve. The drag & drop explorer allows you to quickly and easily build your trees, and the online documentation provides guidance every step of the way.

OAR Converter can take an OpenSimulator Archive (OAR) and from it create textures, meshes and terrain suitable to import into a Unity or Unreal Engine scene. This blog post covers use converting an OpenSim OAR to Collada for use via Unity. It describes OAR Converter 1.7.* an update in June 2024 to replace the earlier version 1.0.6 from 2013-2017.

From Unity a range of virtual world or virtual reality experiences can be created. The converter has been created by Fumikazu Iseki (Avatar: @Fumi.Hax – @fumi_hax) and his colleagues at the Network Systems Laboratory of Tokyo University of Information Sciences (TUIS) in Japan with support from Austin Tate at the University of Edinburgh.

• OAR Converter from OpenSimulator Archive (OAR) to Collada files for use in Unity3D.
• Software developed by Fumi Iseki, Austin Tate, Daichi Mizumaki and Kohe Suzuki.

Download the OAR Converter for Windows latest version from https://blackjack.nsl.tuis.ac.jp/Download/Release/OARConverter/OARConvWin-1.7.9.zip
(file: OARConvWin-1.7.9.zip) [Local Copy]. Latest Version at the time of this blog post in June 2024 is v1.7.9 (at 15-Jun-2024).

This blog post is provided for convenience and using content from the original TUIS OAR Converter Japanese Web Site which should be considered definitive.

OAR Converter can run on Linux and Windows and source code is available. Full instructions for compiling and using the source code version on these platforms is available via the TUIS Wiki OAR Converter Page. For convenience a version with Windows UI is available as a ready to run package.

Note that an OAR file is actually a .tar.gz (.tgz) file, and hence is a Unix TAR format contents zipped to compress it to a smaller file. Sometimes downloading an OAR file can lead to the web server of underlying file save unzipping it automatically. Make sure you are using a normal OAR file or the OAR Converter will report the error message “File Extract Error”.

OAR Converter with Windows UI – Quick Start

[Local Copy]. Latest Version at the time of this blog post is v1.7.9 (at 15-Jun-2024).

For straightforward conversions, simply follow these steps:

1. Place your OpenSim OAR file in a suitable directory. Using defaults, the conversions will be for Collada (DAE) and use in Unity, with the outputs placed in separate subdirectories of this same directory with names based on the OAR file name prefixed by OAR_ and DAE_
2. You can use “Tools” -> “Output Format” and “Tools” -> “Settings” to change this.
3. Run the OAR Converter and using “File” -> “Open OAR File” select the OAR file you wish to convert. This will create a directory called OAR_ with the unpacked contents of the OAR file ready for conversion.
4. Now select “File” -> “Convert Data” from the OAR Converter File menu. This will create a directory called DAE_ with the converted content in it.
5. The DAE_ directory created will contain the DAE/Collada objects for the conversion which have colliders (are solid) and one special DAE/Collada object for the terrain (named the same as the OpenSim region name). It will also have sub-directories for all Textures and for the Phantoms (objects with no collider).

Import to Unity3D

The first part of this video shows the use of the Linux version of the converter, but the part from [2:23] to [6:10] gives an example of importing the converted DAE/Collada folder contents and merging that with a Unity project/scene including adding a Unity Standard Asset water surface. Importing the included “UnityChan” character is shown in the last part of the video.

Import to Unity – Quick Start

1. Ensure you add relevant parts of the contents of the “Unity” folder in the OAR Converter distribution into your Unity project, adding Editor/SelectOARShader.cs and Editor/SetLocationByParameter.cs at least.
2. In your Unity project add an empty game object at 0,0,0 and name it the same as your OpenSim region name. Under this add three empty game objects named Solids, Phantoms and Terrain also at 0,0,0.
3. Drag the DAE_ folder in its entirety onto the Unity “Project” (Assets) panel.
4. Select all the objects in the top level of this directory except the Textures and Phantoms sub-directories and drag them onto the “Solids” game object in the Unity “Hierarchy” panel.
5. Optional: As the (large) terrain object for the region is imported it is usually split automatically by Unity into three sub-meshes of less than 64k polygons. These are all under one object named the same as your OpenSim region and will have sub-mesh names starting “GEOMETRY_”. You may wish to move this terrain objects and its three parts to the “Terrain” object in the hierarchy for tidiness and ease of management.
6. Select all the objects in the Phantom directory and drag them onto the “Phantoms” game object in the Unity “Hierarchy” panel.
7. Look at the imported objects and if you see any that are not correctly textured (usually showing as magenta coloured items) perform a “Assets” -> “Reimport All” to fix that.
   
8. Optional: Add a water layer at 0,0,0. [Instructions in YouTube Video][2:23] to [6:10].
9. Optional: Add a ThirdPartyController/Avatar to be able to run the scene and view the contents. [Instructions in YouTube Video] after [6:10].

Project Base for OAR Converter Projects

Once you have successfully tried a conversion and understand the elements, you may wish to create a base for any future OAR conversion… which can include all the steps except for the drag and drop in of the actual DAE converted content. Do this yourself to incorporate the very latest OAR Converter content, scripts and Unity assets. You can if you wish save this as a “unitypackage” to incorporate into future Unity projects.

For convenience my own base project is available at http://www.aiai.ed.ac.uk/~ai/unity/oarconv/ (file: Unity-OAR-Converter-Base.unitypackage). This can be loaded into a “New Project” made in Unity 6000.0 onwards. I use the 3D Template with the “Built-in Render Pipeline”. It provides Mixamo Xbot and Ybot avatars along with UnityChan movement animations and avatars linked cameras.

After that you can make a copy of the base project you created, or create a new unity project and import the unitypackage as a base, and then drag the OAR Converter produced “DAE” directory into the Unity Project Assets area, add the DAE folder assets and those in the DAE/Phantoms folder to the hierarchical view panel. Adjust the position of the chosen avatar and attached camera to suit the region, save the project, save the scene, and you should be good to go.

Advanced Uses – Settings

OAR Converter has Tools and Settings to allow for a range of more flexible uses. As well as Collada .DAE files it can create Wavefront OBJ, FBX (forthcoming) or .STL files (suitable to drive 3D printers).

Exported objects can be shifted in the X, Y and Z (up/down) directions, perhaps for multiple side by side regions on a 256mx256m grid. [Note: this is also easily done afterwards in the Unity editor also.]

Once objects are converted they can also be examined in a 3D viewer built into the tool.

Advanced Uses – Avatar Conversion

This version of OAR Converter can also help with importing OpenSim avatars into Unity. The avatar should be added into an OpenSim scene before making the OAR to make it available for the OAR Converter to use. the “Use Joints” checkbox must be ticked in Settings to allow this. The process is quite involved but instructions by Fumi are in this video: https://blackjack.nsl.tuis.ac.jp/video/PronamaChan_are_go.mp4

WebGL – Web Presentation of OAR Conversions via Unity

Once an OAR has been converted and imported to Unity, so long as you have installed the WebGL capability to Unity (it can be added if its not yet installed) you can make a WebGL build of your project. here are a couple of examples:OpenVCE – the Open Virtual Collaboration Environment as it appears on OSGrid; Marineville – an underwater build as it appears on OSGrid; and TUIS – Network Systems Laboratory of Tokyo University of Information Sciences. Click images below to open the WebGL experience.

Export from Unity to glTF

As glTF becomes a mesh content format accessible in Second Life and OpenSim it might be useful to be able to take OAR Conversions to Unity and export to glTF. A glTF importer and exporter is available for Unity. Details of how to add it to your Unity Project and create a glTF export are at https://blog.inf.ed.ac.uk/atate/2024/04/29/gltf-exports-from-unity/. Once converted the glTF mesh can be imported to various platforms such as Blender or Second Life (via the Develop -> Render Tests -> glTF Mesh Preview or Develop -> GLTF -> Open capabilities in recent Second Life Viewers).
