Question by cory_munky · Aug 04, 2015 at 10:57 PM · editorassetbundlebundlebundlesdecompress

How to load an AssetBundleManifest in the Editor?

The editor can create an bunch of bundles -including one that contains the AssetBundleManifest. But, because the editor can't use coroutines, the asset bundle loading API seems to be carefully crafted to prevent the editor from reading the manifest it just created.

The problem is that

  1. The bundle containing the manifest is compressed.

  2. Unity's system for decompressing bundles only works asynchronously through coroutines.

  3. The editor does not support working asynchronously through coroutines.

WWW or AssetBundle.CreateFromMemory can decompress the bundle, but won't work in the editor. AssetBundle.CreateFromFile or CreateFromMemoryImmediate will work in the editor, but can't decompress the bundle.

So, now what?
