Mission Pinball Framework support for VPE

Visual Pinball Engine - MPF Gamelogic Engine

Enables the Mission Pinball Framework to drive VPE

Structure

This project contains three folders:

• VisualPinball.Engine.Mpf is a library which builds the gRPC protos and wraps them into a nicer interface.
• VisualPinball.Engine.Mpf.Test is a command line tool that allows quick testing without running Unity
• VisualPinball.Engine.Mpf.Unity is the Unity UPM package that plugs into VPE and implements the gamelogic engine.

Currently, only the first two projects are contained in the provided VS solution. In the future we might add the Unity project with its dependencies, but for now you'll need to open it through Unity.

Binaries

Both gRPC and Protobuf come with dependencies that conflict with Unity's, namely System.Buffers, System.Memory and System.Runtime.CompilerServices. To solve this, we disable assembly validation for Google.Protobuf.dll and Grpc.Core.dll via the plugin inspector.

Unity Package

The goal of this repo is to use it within Unity. In order to do that, open the Package Manager in Unity, and add org.visualpinball.engine.missionpinball under Add package from git URL.

The Unity package is build and published to our registry on every merge to master.

Setup

You currently need Python and MPF installed locally.

1. Install Python 3
2. pip install --pre mpf mpf-mc

Or, if you already have it:

pip install mpf mpf-mc --pre --upgrade

After that, mpf --version should return at least MPF v0.55.0-dev.37.

Development Setup

In order to import the package locally instead from our registry, clone and compile it. This will copy the necessary binaries into the Unity folder. Only then, import the project into Unity.

Since the Unity folder contains .meta files of the binaries, but not the actual binaries, .meta files of uncompiled platforms are cleaned up by Unity. In order to not accidentally commit those files, we recommend to ignore them:
