Upgrade Notes

There are a few extra steps required for this release. It's a temporary inconvenience that will make future upgrades easier.

As with any version, I suggest making a backup of your game before upgrading. I tested the upgrade script as much as possible, but you can never be too careful.

  1. Make sure you are already on version 0.9 before attempting to upgrade to this version.
  2. Shut down the game before upgrading. Use the shutdown command in-game.
  3. After getting the latest code but before committing the changes to your fork, connect to the server shell and run these commands:
    cd aresmush
    ruby beta10_gamedir_shuffle.rb`

If you have any questions or problems, just ask for help.

Release Notes

Game Directory Changes

Why all the upgrade craziness? The aresmush/game directory was causing too many merge conflicts, making upgrades more difficult. I had to do some gymnastics to move the directory around so it wouldn’t be tracked in GitHub but also wouldn’t be deleted locally. The upgrade script fixes that.

New Config Options

There are a few new config options added by this version:

  • In the skin config, you can change the colors of the lines with text (like in the scenes display).
  • The colors config now lets you easily change the text and input box colors. There are also more instructions in the tutorial for changing advanced things like the selection dropdowns.
  • The welcome text and tagline are no longer used. You can now set both, along with multi-line formatting, via the website.txt text file (also editable on the web portal config screen).
  • In the website config, you can now move the sidebar to the left and configure which wiki pages show up on the Wiki dropdown.

Miscellaneous

  • Improved some customization settings (suggested by Tat@AresCentral and Soph@AresCentral), described in config options above. Wiki TOC and collapsible buttons now have their own CSS class.
  • The config editor screen has some new edit features, like adding/removing keys and a full-file YAML editor.
  • Streamlined the process for future code upgrades.
  • AresCentral now looks better on mobile view.
  • The server wasn’t being properly set up to restart the game after a reboot. New games will be set up correctly. You may want to double-check to make sure your game is set. See restart after reboot.
