chuchoide Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I don't think you can transfer your server files to 1.3.1, Robin always changes their formats when he releases a new version. You should make a backup of your server, and the only thing you can try is maybe trying to pass features from 1.3.1 to 1.2.0 to make it 1.3.1.If you can't do that, Im aware you'll have to remake your files… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuroshu Posted February 2, 2011 Author Share Posted February 2, 2011 hmmmm…. that really suxs! so if i start building a huge game on v1.3.1 then major updates are released i will have to start from scratch again if i want to use the new features!geez....

Ruins of Hell Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Try it first. It might actually work.Also, the updates are because Origins isn't at a milestone release. Once it is, you probably should be able to migrate easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Don't build a game. Spend your time getting your graphics, data and structure of your game set up. Also spend time just learning how the source code is structured. It will make things a lot eisier once you do start building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 It is if you know what you're doing and you're willing to do work yourself.Most people don't want to work on the engine because I'm still releasing new stuff. They keep saying "I'll use the next version and make a game with that". Then, when I release another version filled with awesome new features they all drop their existing work and move on to that.It's a new experience for most people around here to use software which is actively being developed. All previous versions all had development dropped completely and people were used to the source code being constant over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elementaldisaster Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 robin do you knoe the answer to the original question? Or should we all just hope chuchoid is right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 You need to convert 1.2.0 data to run in 1.3.1\. At least one data type changed in every UDT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuroshu Posted February 2, 2011 Author Share Posted February 2, 2011 Since I did not put in too much work… I don't mind rebuilding at this point. Robin, i know this is unrelated... but will the JAVA Client be release anytime soon? if so I think I will wait for that release... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone thinks SVN is just a team working tool, but I use it and it greatly helps locate breaks and edits between the newer source files. Although merging these is not an easy task, if your not experienced in Visual Basic 6 you should just restart from the vanilla copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
