Installation

Step-by-step guide to installing uVegas via the Unity Package Manager and setting up your project for multiplayer development.

uVegas assets are installed via the Unity Package Manager and integrate seamlessly into new or existing Unity projects. The setup process is straightforward and requires no modification of your existing project settings.

---

Unity Package Manager

1. Open Unity Package Manager (Window → Package Manager).

2. Select My Assets and locate the desired uVegas package (e.g. uVegas Blackjack, uVegas Poker, etc.).

3. Click Download and then Import.

4. Unity will add all uVegas components under: Assets/uVegas/

No project settings are overwritten. uVegas is fully modular and integrates cleanly into your existing Unity environment.

Project Configuration

While uVegas does not modify your settings, certain configurations are recommended for proper multiplayer operation.

Required Unity Settings

Open Edit → Project Settings → Player (Resolution and Presentation tab) and verify:

• Run In Background: Enabled This ensures the client and server continue processing while not in focus, which is essential for Mirror-based multiplayer systems.

You can find more information in the official Mirror Networking documentation: Mirror Networking Documentation →

Scene Setup

After installation, you need to add the uVegas scenes to your Build Settings.

1. Navigate to: Assets/uVegas/Scenes/

2. Add the following scene(s) to your Build Settings (File → Build Settings → Scenes In Build):

• Main.unity

This Main Scene is used for both client and server instances. It contains all necessary components for initialization and can be launched directly in the Unity Play Mode to test uVegas locally.

---

Running in the Editor

To test multiplayer behavior locally, uVegas supports Unity’s Multiplayer Play Mode.

This feature allows you to run multiple player instances directly within the Unity Editor, simulating both server and client connections without building separate executables.

Using Multiplayer Play Mode

Install the official Unity package: Unity Multiplayer Play Mode →

1. Open your Main Scene (Assets/uVegas/Scenes/Main.unity).

2. In the Multiplayer Play Mode panel, configure how many Editor instances to open.

3. Press Play to launch the configured Editor instances.

4. In each Editor instance use our custom Mirror Network GUI (Host, Client, or Server) to start the desired role and establish connections.

This allows you to test synchronization, gameplay logic, and table joining workflows directly within the Unity Editor - without building standalone executables.

---

Dependencies

uVegas includes the Mirror Networking framework, already preconfigured for stable operation. The bundled version is updated regularly and pinned to a specific commit for reliability.

No additional Mirror installation is required.
