Old Unity Island Demo Project To Unity 4.0

*2021: Check this repo https://github.com/mstevenson/UnityIslandDemo

** unity 2022 LTS: https://github.com/Jocyf/IslandDemo

Download project from : http://unity3d.com/support/old-resources/example-projects/islanddemo *link seems to be broken
** new link: http://www.mediafire.com/file/288o87oo8aejjyn/IslandDemo.zip
Unzip it
Open project
Upgrading.. Yes
Fix now.. Yes
Fix now.. Yes
Open islands scene
Can already see the scene in editor
Play..cannot..errors
Assets/Scripts/UnderwaterEffects.js(23,46): BCE0022: Cannot convert ‘UnityEngine.GameObject’ to ‘float’.
Lets try to modify it from:
if(water) waterLevel = water.gameObject;
to: (just a guess)
if(water) waterLevel = water.gameObject.position.y;
New error comes up:
Assets/Editor/UpdateTreeColors.js(13,17): BCE0031: Language feature not implemented: UnityEditor.
That is some editor script, lets disable it for now, by renaming the file to “UpdateTreeColors.js_” (in explorer, cannot do inside unity)
Save scene as.. Island4 (just in case..)
Play! (seems to work..?)

    I have the same problem, all trees are yellow :)) I have Unity3D pro version 4.2. No errors only warnings. Application is running smoothly with bright trees … “radioactive”? 🙂

    So I made it work w/o “radioactivity”. Simple way to get it running, needs further investigation though.
    1. Switch off “Glow Effect under Main Camera
    2. Comment rows with: glow.enabled = !below; in script UndewaterEffects.js to protect glowing trees when you get out from water.
    That is all. I assume that you made changes described in above post.
    Cheers.

      Using indie, looks like that was some pro effect enabled then.

Hi,

Do you have a copy of the Island Demo? The unity asset store seems to have removed it?

Many thanks!

  I had the same problems deploying to Android with the latest Unity 4.6.1f1 , most of the problems I found were the variables not being declared, for the errors you mentioned I just added this to the top of the file:
  
  var wantedHeight : float;
  var currentHeight : float;
  var wantedRotationAngle : float;
  var currentRotationAngle : float;
  var currentRotation : Quaternion;
  
  There were several other files that had similar problems, I was able to deploy to my Samsung Note 2 phone after making these changes. I also got it working for Oculus and the Samsung Gear VR.

I downloaded the island demo and tried to open the project in 4.6. I fixed all the debug errors and am able to play the scene.

The island water material is pink. Does anyone know how to fix this? My take on it is that 4.6 doesn’t like the metadata for whatever the island was made on.

Please help – I am fairly new and would love to learn with this island as a starting point.

  I had the same problem with the water. I think it may be because I have the free version. I ended up noting the position and scale of the water then deleted it from the scene and deleted “Assets\StandardAssets\Water” and “Assets\StandardAssets\Water 1” folders, then imported Unities standard asset “Water (Basic)”. I then placed the “Daylight Simple Water” on the scene and gave it the same position and scale as the original water.
