* Common Shaders list
For backwards compatibility, these are auto-converted on mod load to URP shaders. This doesn't work for in every case, so we recommend rebuilding your mod using URP shaders.

** Converting materials to URP
We upgraded our SDK from the "Built-in Pipeline" to the "Universal Render Pipeline" (URP), this means the old materials & shaders will no longer work.
If your materials no longer render or they are pink, this indicates that they are incompatible with URP.
Use Unity's upgrade tool (Edit>Rendering>Materials>Convert Selected Built-In Materials to URP) to automatically convert "built-in" materials to their URP counterparts, this only works for Unity standard shaders.
If you use the old Holdfast shaders, for example "Holdfast/Standard - Stencil 15", first convert them to "Standard" then use the Unity upgrade tool (Edit>Rendering>Materials>Convert Selected Built-In Materials to URP).
If you use 3rd party assets you'll need to obtain the URP version from the Unity store and then remap the materials manually.
*** Reporting script mod issues to AGS
We switched from Unity 2020 to 2022, alongside this upgrade Mono was also update this might have introduced changes that have impacted the way your mod operates.
If the behaviour of your script mod has changed, isolate the issue in a small minimal example mod and send the source-code to us. Note: We won't guarantee a patch and won't be looking into issues without a replication project.
