Question; Can we upgrade from 2.7 to 3.0?

Or do we need to start all over again?

Can we replace some files etc.? to just continue with our game?

Yes, i just saw the NO questions topic, just after i posted it

So you can delete this, but pleeeeeaaase PM me the answer…

I could also erase my post and say something stupid, but what would be the sense of that?

We wont really know until it is released, though i believe homicidal monkey said he is working on one.

maps are autoconverted to 3.0 because maps are now 2 files each. I think ill just do the same for everything. As of now, you'd just have to retile maps because of the new tilesheet format. But that should take about 3min/map if you have screenshots.

Uhm… if i use screenshots, you can't walk behind trees etc. + it would use too much tiles

[Homicidal Monkey]

in mapeditor, shift + click will move your character to that tile.

[aiko]

i mean, that if you use normal trees as example, the fringe option wouldn't have any effect

[Homicidal Monkey]

lol, i meant base new maps off of screenshots of old maps.

You seriouslyhave to remap everything..?

So you want people to go thorugh, screenshot every single map, and ramap them.

I may be sticking with 2.7

This is dissapointing to hear.

lol, reading helps.
Maybe I should just release a beta limited to Mapediting so people will get used to the differences?

[shadowwulf]

and this is why i say to map last… lol.
I for one am mor ethan willing to restart everything once 3.0 comes out and is finished.
I should be able to better tweak all my addons and get them back in within a week or two.

[DrNova]

Well I'm not goign any further til 3.0 comes out.
Have no idea what its going to be like really, so I think I'll pause untill I can get to uninturrupted work

[The Oracle]

I'm not sure, but starjumper might be waiting for a while.

[DrNova]

well… bleh.  I'll just continue and hope everything is transferrable

[Homicidal Monkey]

lol, your a moderator. You'll be able to get an advanced copy.
omg, I just thought of how to convert through the tilesheet change; just have it overwrite tile information after scanning the "tiles.ini" folder for tilesheet dimensions.

The Doc always helps!

And good to hear :D
