Exposes some Unity URP graphics settings that are (for some stupid fucking bullshit reason) private.

Thank you!

Thanks for this! Saved me some time (shipped a game with this file haha)

Happy to be of service 🫡

Thank you so much!!

Coming back to this every month.
Shipped 2 projects with this, used it in 4 projects, even extended it a bit.
I am forever thankful but.... HOW IS THIS STILL NEEDED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It truly boggles the mind how the simplest one-line changes at Unity take a decade to be implemented.

Shipped two games with this and about to ship a third with it. Thank you so much!

💜💜💜 I'm very happy it's useful to you!

Thanks @JimmyCushnie!

Any ideas how I can extend this to access the GraphicSettings too?
Tried this so far without any luck.

var graphicsSettingsAssetType = typeof(GraphicsSettings); var graphicFlags = BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic; LightmapKeepStrippingFieldInfo = graphicsSettingsAssetType.GetField("m_LightmapStripping", graphicFlags); //Lightmap stripping LightmapKeepPlainFieldInfo = graphicsSettingsAssetType.GetField("m_LightmapKeepPlain", graphicFlags); //Baked Non-Directional LightmapKeepDirCombinedFieldInfo = graphicsSettingsAssetType.GetField("m_LightmapKeepDirCombined", graphicFlags); //Baked Directional LightmapKeepDynamicPlainFieldInfo = graphicsSettingsAssetType.GetField("m_LightmapKeepDynamicPlain", graphicFlags); //Realtime Non-Directional LightmapKeepDynamicDirCombinedFieldInfo = graphicsSettingsAssetType.GetField("m_LightmapKeepDynamicDirCombined", graphicFlags); //Realtime Directional LightmapKeepShadowMaskFieldInfo = graphicsSettingsAssetType.GetField("m_LightmapKeepShadowMask", graphicFlags); //Baked Shadowmask LightmapKeepSubtractiveFieldInfo = graphicsSettingsAssetType.GetField("m_LightmapKeepSubtractive", graphicFlags); //Baked Subtractive

Legendary. Love the name of it too!

If anyone else needs this, here's how we ended up changing graphic settings in our case:

public static void SetToHDSettings()
{
    var graphicSettingAssetDataPath = Application.dataPath.Replace("Assets", "ProjectSettings/GraphicsSettings.asset");
    var graphicSettingsFileData = File.ReadAllText(graphicSettingAssetDataPath);
    graphicSettingsFileData = graphicSettingsFileData.Replace("m_LightmapStripping: 0", "m_LightmapStripping: 1");                              //Lightmap stripping - Always 1 - Custom
    graphicSettingsFileData = graphicSettingsFileData.Replace("m_LightmapKeepPlain: 1", "m_LightmapKeepPlain: 0");                              //Baked Non-Directional
    graphicSettingsFileData = graphicSettingsFileData.Replace("m_LightmapKeepDirCombined: 0", "m_LightmapKeepDirCombined: 1");                  //Baked Directional
    graphicSettingsFileData = graphicSettingsFileData.Replace("m_LightmapKeepDynamicPlain: 1", "m_LightmapKeepDynamicPlain: 0");                //Realtime Non-Directional 
    graphicSettingsFileData = graphicSettingsFileData.Replace("m_LightmapKeepDynamicDirCombined: 1", "m_LightmapKeepDynamicDirCombined: 0");    //Realtime Directional
    graphicSettingsFileData = graphicSettingsFileData.Replace("m_LightmapKeepShadowMask: 0", "m_LightmapKeepShadowMask: 1");                    //BakedShadowMask
    graphicSettingsFileData = graphicSettingsFileData.Replace("m_LightmapKeepSubtractive: 1", "m_LightmapKeepSubtractive: 0");                  //BakedSubtractive

    File.WriteAllText(graphicSettingAssetDataPath, graphicSettingsFileData);
    Debug.LogWarning($"Set shader stripping to HD settings.ShadowMask ON. Subtractive OFF");
}

I love you

Thank you!

does this really work in player build? I understand that shader variants will be stripped during the build process, and this script should not take any effect.

Я ХОЧУ ОТ ТЕБЯ ДЕТЕЙ

Great Job! Somehow I did think that probably the staff did these shit for Commercial Thinking, they may not want UE copied them. but after these years, I think, may be the staff in Unity are just Dummy
