URP Support
==============

Asset version 1.8.1+
*********************

To convert asset materials with custom shaders (units, buildings), use the **URP Converter** tool ``Top menu -> RTS Starter Kit -> URP Converter``.

Tool also will try to convert materials using default Unity shaders, using official Unity API. But since it changes too frequently, this process can fail. In this case — read the partition below for version 1.8.0 — the process is the same.

Asset version 1.8.0
*********************

Most of the asset materials can be converted to URP automatically using Unity's ``Render Pipeline Converter`` tool. `More details on the Unity official Docs <https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.universal%4013.1/manual/features/rp-converter.html>`_.

But units and buildings use a custom shader, which cannot be converted automatically. Starting from RTS Kit asset version ``1.8.0``, there is a ``UnitUrp`` shader in the asset directory. So, you can select all unit and building materials and change their shader to ``Shader Graphs/UnitUrp``. Usually, all materials keep their settings after performing this action.

.. note::
  Versions 1.8.1 and above feature full URP support for the asset materials: the auto-convert tool changes material shaders to the URP version.

.. note::
    **Fog of war** shaders and materials should work fine in any render pipeline.

Asset version below 1.8
************************

.. warning:: 
  Old asset versions officially don't support URP!

You can still try to use Unity's ``Render Pipeline Converter`` tool. For all unit materials, use your own shader, or copy the **UnitUrp** shader from the new asset version (1.8.0+).
