How to Install

It is recommended to test this in a new empty Unity project (2021.3 or later) if this is your first time installing Timeflow using this method.

Before installing, be sure to remove the previous installation of Timeflow first, otherwise you will encounter this error:

[Package Manager Window] Error adding package:

1. Get the Package URL

A private URL with tokenized credentials is provided to install Timeflow from the Package Manager.

  • In the Timeflow Discord server, go to the #-vip channel. You must be a verified user for access.

  • Locate the most recent URL posted in the channel, which looks like the following:

https://{token}@github.com/AxonGenesis/Timeflow.git#upm{version}

  • Select and copy the entire URL.

The URL is confidential. Do not share or post anywhere. All URLs have an expiration date and will no longer work after 7 days.

2. Install in the Package Manager

  • With your Unity project open, select from the main menu: Window/Package Manager

  • Click the + menu in the top left corner

  • Paste the full URL (copied in the previous step) into the field and then click Add.

  • It may take several moments to locate and download the package

  • After installation Timeflow is displayed under 'Packages - Axon Genesis' and assets installed to the project's Packages/Timeflow directory. From here, you may then optionally import any samples you wish to work with by clicking the 'Import' button for each.

At a later point you may return to get the latest version by clicking the 'Update' button.

After updating, to import samples you may need to close the Package Manager window and re-open it to import the samples, otherwise a console error may appear saying that the directory does not exist. This due to the way Unity manages the package cache.

If you encounter any errors during installation, it may be necessary to remove Timeflow (click the Remove button) and then re-add the package starting at step 1 above.

For changes to the locations of the Timeflow preferences and settings, please refer to Assets
