ParrelSync is a Unity editor extension for improving multiplayer testing workflow.
ParrelSync allows users to test multiplayer without building by open multiple editor instances of the same project and have it running as another clients/server, which significantly improved the multiplayer testing workflow since more stats can be monitored/changed from the editor windows and also save a lot of time from building the project.
Test project changes on clients and server within seconds - both in editor
To install ParrelSync, download .unitypackage from the latest release and import it to your project.
Parrel Sync should appreared in the menu item bar.
Note: It's always recommend to backup the project before importing ParrelSync.
Currently, ParrelSync only support Windows editor.
Please create a feature request if you want Mac/Linux support to be added.
ParrelSync has been tested with the following Unity version. However, it should also work with other versions as well.
- 2019.3.0f6
- 2018.4.22f1
Except the handy user interface, ParrelSync also provide some useful APIs for improving multiplayer testing workflow.
Here's a basic example:
if (ClonesManager.IsClone()) {
// Automatically connect to localhost if running in clone instance
}
Check out the doc to view the complete API list.
In able to open the project with different editor isntances, for each instance, ParrelSync create a "clone" of the original project and refering the Asset, Packages and ProjectSettings folder back to the original with symbolic link, so all the asset in the "clones" will be same as the original one. Asset serialization and saving are also been disabled on the cloned instances for proecting the original assets.
All cloned project folders are placed right next to the original project with suffix _clone_x, which should be something like this in the folder hierarchy.
/ProjectName
/ProjectName_clone_0
/ProjectName_clone_1
