AS OF NOW, THIS GUIDE IS NO LONGER CORRECT. You can follow basically all of it by importing the project example into unity 2018.4.x


The first step to setting up Unity, is to install it. Unturned requires a specific unity version, and using any other may cause unintended issues, so make sure you get the right one.

First, navigate to the unity download page.[unity3d.com]
Once there, download the installer for unity version 2018.4 LTS
If you plan on developing anything besides unturned mods on unity, Unity hub[public-cdn.cloud.unity3d.com] is a great option.

Now that you've installed unity, create a new project, and leave all of the settings to their default (except for location and name, of course).
Now, navigate to your unity project folder (right click > show in explorer), and go to project settings.
now, in a different window, open up your unturned folder and navigate to "Unturned\Bundles\Sources\Examples" and copy the "TagManager.asset" file to your Unity project folder, and overwrite when asked. if it doesn't ask you have put it in the wrong place

Navigate to "Unturned\Bundles\Sources\Tools" and drag the bundle tool into Unity's file browser.
While the readme specifies a location, I have literally never put it there and I don't have any problems.

The easiest way to begin is to use one of Nelson's provided examples.
all of these have broken sounds, check Frequent issues for a fix
Navigate to "Unturned\Bundles\Sources\Examples" and drag the closest example to your mod into the unity file explorer, and import all when it asks.
The easiest way to start is to make a copy of the respective example folder and rename it to your object/vehicle/item (you can do this in windows file explorer)
.Now, drag the prefab into your scene and start modifying!
once you're done, drag it back into the prefab, select the folder and bundle it.

Fear not! There is a simple fix, convert all of your audio files to .wav. I use this site[audio.online-convert.com]
