OVROverlay.cs(385,20): error CS1501: No overload for method `CreateExternalTextur

I am encountering the same issue. As far as I can tell, my OVROverlay.cs script is not attached to any object. Did you end up figuring this out?

@imperativity
I am using Unity Version2017.1.0f3 Personal, Oculus App Version 1.16.0.409144, on Windows 10.

I originally tried it on an old Unity file, downloaded Oculus Utilities for Unity 5 1.16.0-beta. I imported this package into my file and got that error. I also made sure to change the build, player, and quality settings accordingly to these instructions.

Thinking it had something to do with my old project, perhaps something was not properly replaced in the Utilities package import, I started a new project from scratch. I followed this tutorial until I got to Part 2: Add a control script to your Player. When I tried to add the script to the player, that's when I started getting " Assets/OVR/Scripts/OVROverlay.cs(385,20): error CS1501: No overload for method `CreateExternalTexture' takes `6' arguments " and it would not allow me to add the PlayerController script because I need to "Please fix compile errors before creating new script components".

Please advise! Thank you!

Same for me! Got notice after updating to the new 2017.1.0f3 version of Unity.

Same here.

It's because CreateExternalTexture method of Cubemap class probably got changed with Unity 2017. It now takes only 4 arguments and the SDK tries to pass 6 arguments, and there is no overload for 6.

You just have to change the parameters. Cubemap method has only 1 size value because its texture is a rectangle, so you don't have to pass both width and height because they are equal.

Also there is no parameter for color space - the "isSrgb" one.

So if you fix those your method should look like

et = Cubemap.CreateExternalTexture(size.w, txFormat, mipLevels > 1, externalTex);

and you're good to go, but please wait for opinion from @imperativity . By no means I know how the SDK should work :P

.

@iamtheonly Your solution worked for now, it got rid of the error. Thanks!

Will still wait to hear back from @imperativity before building anything final.

I was having the same issue and the change mentioned above from

et = Cubemap.CreateExternalTexture(size.w, size.h, txFormat, mipLevels > 1, isSrgb, externalTex);

To

et = Cubemap.CreateExternalTexture(size.w, txFormat, mipLevels > 1, externalTex);

solved the errors on rebuild for me.

I used the line of code and 4 new errors showed up. Maybe im missing something guess im reinstalling my ovr.
