⚙️Setup Guide
Mailbox requires Game Creator 2 and can't work without it.
Setup
Download and install Mailbox | Game Creator 2 from the package manager
Open the Game Creator Install Window by going to Game Creator > Install..
Select the Mailbox Examples and click Install
The example scenes can be found in the Plugins > GameCreator > Installs > Mailbox.Examples@1.0.0 > Scenes folder
Example UI Requires TextMeshPro Essentials
Mailbox supports Legacy UI, but all example UI elements use TextMeshPro, as Unity's old UI Text is now legacy. To view the examples, install TMP Essentials (Window → TextMeshPro → Import TMP Essential Resources).
All components support TextReferences, so if you prefer Legacy UI, you can switch to using Text instead of TMP.
Optional Setup
When installing Mailbox from the Package Manager, Mailbox will check once to see if Game Creator 2 Inventory or Dialogue is installed. If either is installed at the time of installing Mailbox, the corresponding integration will be installed automatically.
If you install Game Creator 2 Inventory or Dialogue later, you can manually trigger the integration check via the Unity toolbar: Game Creator > Mailbox > Detect and Install Integration
If you own Game Creator 2 Inventory, we recommend installing the Mailbox Inventory Examples and using the Mailbox Inventory UI & Example Scenes. These can be found in: Plugins > GameCreator > Installs > Mailbox.InventoryExamples@1.0.0 > Scenes after installing the examples.
Updating Mailbox
When a new version is released, we recommend uninstalling the old version first. You can do this by navigating to the Unity toolbar: Game Creator > Uninstall > Mailbox
