Settings Reference

This page documents all configurable settings in ProStream, organized by their location in the Settings Panel.

Opening the Settings Panel

Click the settings icon in the ProStream Editor toolbar, or access via individual panel headers.

Settings Panel Tabs

The Settings Panel contains multiple tabs for organizing settings:

Tab	Panel	Description
Search/Match	ObjectMatchingPanel	Validation and search query settings
Scene/Setup	SceneSetupPanel	Scene configuration and SubScene settings

Search/Match Tab (ObjectMatchingPanel)

Settings related to the matching process and search queries.

Matching Settings

Setting	Default	Description
Check for basic issues	Off	Check GameObjects for common DOTS compatibility issues during the matching process (e.g., empty MeshRenderers, missing Materials). Runs during Calculate Positions.
Check for advanced issues	Off	Check GameObjects for advanced DOTS compatibility issues (e.g., incompatible Shaders, LOD issues). More intensive but helps prevent conversion/runtime errors.

TIP

See Validation & Diagnostics for detailed information on what each validation level checks.

Search Keyword Settings

These settings affect how MatchBySearchQuery rules match object names.

Setting	Default	Description
Use keyword separation	Off	When enabled, adds separator characters around search terms to reduce false matches from fuzzy matching.
Keyword separator	_	The character used to separate keywords when keyword separation is enabled.

Example:

Without keyword separation:

• Search for Tree matches: Environment_Tree_01 and City_Street_01 (false positive)

With keyword separation (separator = _):

• Search for Tree becomes _Tree_
• Matches: Environment_Tree_01 but NOT City_Street_01

Scene/Setup Tab (SceneSetupPanel)

Settings related to scene configuration, SubScene creation, and streaming behavior.

SubScene Settings

Setting	Default	Description
Auto-save scenes	On	Automatically save scenes after major operations (Calculate Positions, Create SubScenes)
SubScene directory	SubScene_Assets	Root directory for SubScene files
Entity subdirectory	Entity	Subdirectory within SubScene folder for entity scenes

Streaming Settings

Setting	Default	Description
Hysteresis buffer	10.0	Distance buffer (in meters) added to unload threshold to prevent rapid load/unload cycles
Update frequency	Every Frame	How often streaming system checks distances
Enable debug visualization	Off	Show gizmos for streaming boundaries in Scene view

Performance Settings

Setting	Default	Description
Max concurrent loads	4	Maximum number of SubScenes that can load simultaneously
Load priority	Distance	How to prioritize loading (Distance, Manual, etc.)
Async loading	On	Load SubScenes asynchronously to avoid frame drops

QuadTree Settings

Setting	Default	Description
Grid size	Auto	Size of QuadTree grid (Auto, 4x4, 8x8, 16x16, 32x32)
Cell size	Auto	Size of individual cells in meters (Auto or manual)
Bounds padding	10.0	Extra padding around scene bounds for QuadTree calculation
