Upgrading to a new version

Upgrade to a new version

1. disable addon

   

2. delete addon files (addons/diisis)

   Watch out you don't delete your script.

3. reinstall

   • don't forget to enable the plugin again, and reload the editor afterwards

new data formats

Sometimes new versions introduce new underlying file structure to diisis. When you upgrade to a new version, it is recommended that the first thing you do is open diisis, and - if no file corruption happens - click through all the pages in the document so that you can load the old data and serialized it with the new underlying data structures. (Alternatively, use Utility > Step through pages to let DIISIS do it for you) If the file is missing things, or the console gives you a bunch of errors, the diisis version you're trying to upgrade to is probably incompatible with the one you created your project in.

I try to make my code backwards-compatible where possible, but sometimes new versions do break compatibility. Sorry!

If you used the visual novel template:

1. Remove all template-specific autoloads (Project Settings -> Globals)

2. By downloading the plugin again, you'll have downloaded duplicates of all scenes in the VN template. This will conflict with their class_names. Delete the new files in the template in the plugin folder (all contents of addons/diisis/templates/visual_novel).

3. Run through the automated setup again. Don't forget to reload the project again.
