'Gaia.GaiaLighting' is missing the class attribute 'ExtensionOfNativeClass'!

[Firle]

Updated Gaia to the latest version. Using Unity 2022.2.1 in my project, windows standard built no hdrp or custom renderpipeline.

 

A question: can I turn off that gaia alway destroys existing terrains when creating a new one? I have multiple small terrains.

 

And I get this error when starting now, having

After using the Gaia Manager to update the scene (Setup scene, create world then create runtime) I now have plenty of errors:

 

Same as above and multiple times this one:

 

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

Any idea? Thanks! It was working before and still works but I get those when starting.

I also have a warning:

 

The class named 'Gaia.GaiaLighting' is abstract. The script class can't be abstract!

Any idea what's wrong?

Can you please tell me which version of Gaia you are using? 
Are you using the Random World Generator? 
 

[Firle]

As I said the latest on the unity asset store. Without Random World Generator or anything else like that.

I am also using the latest version from Enviro but I think that does not affect it.

 

Thanks!

Gaia 2021 (not pro), if that helps 🤔

[Bryan]

Ok, thank you for that information. 

When creating a new world it would destroy the Unity terrains. 
What you would want to do before adding in another terrain is disable them in the Hierarchy before creating another one. 
If you are working in the same scene as another terrain / world. 

Enviro could cause some lighting issues, I know we used to have a Gaia eXtension for that but it has not been updated for Enviro. 
You could however, recreate the eXtension yourself by looking at this: 

 

Obviously this was for Gaia 2 and Gaia pro but mostly the same information still applies. 
 

[Firle]

Thanks! After playing around with that Player settings I was at least able to build again.

 

But I still got this error message (I am not sure if it does anything bad):

'Gaia.GaiaLighting' is missing the class attribute 'ExtensionOfNativeClass'!

 

And if I turn on my landscape with an underwater scenario and turn it off again, I still can see a "Caustics" animated overlay.

 

How do I get rid of it? This is my code to turn on / off water stuff:

    public void SetWater(bool enable, bool isUnderSea = false, int waterLevel = 0) // SetSeaLevel
    {
        try
        {
            if (enable)
            {
                Gaia.PWS_WaterSystem.Instance.m_waterProfile.m_useCastics = false;
                if (GameManager.Instance.UnderWaterPostProcess != null)
                {
                    GameManager.Instance.UnderWaterPostProcess.enabled = isUnderSea;
                }

                // perfect underwater when real y is 70 and sealevel property is 35, todo
                //pWS_WaterSystem.SeaLevel = seaLevel / 2;
                //pWS_WaterSystem.transform.parent.parent.position = new Vector3(0, pWS_WaterSystem.SeaLevel, 0);
                //Gaia.PWS_WaterSystem.Instance.SunLight = Enviro.EnviroManager.instance.Lighting.MainLight;
                if (isUnderSea)
                {
                    Gaia.PWS_WaterSystem.Instance.SeaLevel = 64; //90
                    //Gaia.PWS_WaterSystem.Instance.m_minSurfaceLight = 0.01F;
                    //todoo test Gaia.PWS_WaterSystem.Instance.m_maxSurfaceLight = 0.01F;                    
                    //Gaia.PWS_WaterSystem.Instance.m_waterProfileValues.m_specularColor = Color.white; //todo
                    Gaia.PWS_WaterSystem.Instance.m_waterProfileValues.m_transparentDistance = 0.2f;
                    Gaia.PWS_WaterSystem.Instance.m_waterProfileValues.m_underwaterFogDensity = 0.01f;
                    Gaia.PWS_WaterSystem.Instance.m_waterProfileValues.m_constUnderwaterPostExposure = 0.01f;
                    Gaia.PWS_WaterSystem.Instance.m_waterProfileValues.m_fadeStart = 5;
                    Gaia.PWS_WaterSystem.Instance.m_waterProfileValues.m_fadeNormalStrength = 0.01f;
                    Gaia.PWS_WaterSystem.Instance.m_waterProfileValues.m_fadeDistance = 150;
                    Gaia.PWS_WaterSystem.Instance.m_waterProfileValues.m_underwaterFogDensity = 0.01f;
                    //Gaia.PWS_WaterSystem.Instance.gameObject.GetComponentInChildren<FollowPlayerSystem>().m_player = Globals.Player.transform;
                }
                else
                {
                    Gaia.PWS_WaterSystem.Instance.SeaLevel = waterLevel; // -25;
                    //Gaia.PWS_WaterSystem.Instance.SeaLevel = planetInfo.;
                    Gaia.PWS_WaterSystem.Instance.m_waterProfileValues.m_underwaterFogDensity = 0.02f;
                    Gaia.PWS_WaterSystem.Instance.m_waterProfileValues.m_constUnderwaterPostExposure = 0.3f;
                    Gaia.PWS_WaterSystem.Instance.m_waterProfileValues.m_fadeStart = 40;
                    Gaia.PWS_WaterSystem.Instance.m_waterProfileValues.m_fadeNormalStrength = 0.08f;
                    Gaia.PWS_WaterSystem.Instance.m_waterProfileValues.m_fadeDistance = 300;                    

                    //Gaia.PWS_WaterSystem.Instance.m_waterProfile.m_enablePostProcessing = false;                
                }
            }
            else
            {
                if (GameManager.Instance.UnderWaterPostProcess != null)
                {
                    Gaia.PWS_WaterSystem.Instance.m_waterProfile.m_useCastics = false;
                    GameManager.Instance.UnderWaterPostProcess.enabled = false;
                }
            }
            Gaia.GaiaUnderwaterEffects.Instance.enabled = enable;
            Gaia.PWS_WaterSystem.Instance.gameObject.SetActive(enable);
            Gaia.PWS_WaterSystem.Instance.transform.parent.gameObject.SetActive(enable);
        }
        catch (System.Exception ex)
        {
            Debug.LogError("Error in SetWater: " + ex);
        }
    }

 

Thanks a lot 🙂

There is a component you can use to turn off water effects. 
I recommend making a cube collider or something similar and add the component disable Under water effects. 
 

[Firle]

Thansk for the hint but I already disabled all components that should have impact here, see above code... 

 

looks like that if I had a underwater terrain before: 

 

https://www.dropbox.com/s/4fapwdy7pz343eo/Caustics.png?dl=0

 

On the left all water... components are disabled using above code. But it is still there and even animated....

 

Only seems to disappear if I turn off "Gaia Lighting" too or it's directional light child. But that would totally crash my light everywhere!

 

Are you sure it is not because of that strange "'Gaia.GaiaLighting' is missing the class attribute 'ExtensionOfNativeClass'!" error message I always get three times when starting my game?

 

Thanks!
