Frequently Asked Question

Q: Can I add my own custom statuses? Or more of them? A: Yes ! You can, using the project settings.

Q: Can I change the color of each status? A: Yes, using the plugin’s project settings.

Q: Overlay does not update after status change A: Yes, that is one of the known limitations, content browser needs to be refreshed, I couldn't find a way to do that so far(in case you know a way PLEASE let me know). So for you to see the updated overlay you need to navigate to a different folder and then back to your selection.

Q: What's the intended use case? A: I developed it for Production status tracking, so I can quickly see if im using an asset that is not meant for production.

Q: Does it support Version Control ?(like Perforce) A:Yes it does, meaning If an asset is open for changes/checked out, it will check out and save your change, otherwise If the asset is not in an edit state then you will still see the overlay locally but until you submit your status change others won't see them.

Q: Does it connect to Jira? A: Not right now, I will probably look into adding this functionality in future versions however.

Q: Does the viewport visualizer support PLA and Level Instances? A: Yes, as long as the meshes are not merged each status will retain their display of status using the visualizer even if they are part of a Packed Level Actor or Level Instance.

!!There’s no better way to test any tool but in real production so I might have missed some edge cases for this tool, please do let me know in case you have some issues with the plugin, as I would like to assist and improve on it as much as I can. You can submit issues using the template in the repo
