Getting from .05 to .08
« on: August 11, 2014, 02:11:44 pm »

Hi folks,

When we moved from .04 to .05, we could update the vocab files to "unfix" YORE to YOR so we could continue playing our .03/4 games. When .06 was released, hand-editing the vocab files to "yor" no longer worked, but no one could really explain another solution like this one (I'm guessing me and those other folks were in a very small minority). Well, now we're at .08 and some particularly vexing issues have been fixed.

If there is a fundamental incompatibility betwixt "edited.05" and .08 then I'll sadly abandon my game, but if it is a raw fix like the yore thing, then I'd like to do so and keep playing. Is there anyone out there who can point me in the right direction or at least let me know if I am pretty much going to have to abandon my world?

Thanks!

You can search for raw differences using a diff utility. If you're on windows, WinMerge will do.

Yore wasn't the only language file change after 0.5 that is why, and since those changes were made it was just best to include YORE for the sake of having it fixed. You could fix it with winmerge to be the same but you'd probably have to find all of the words with corrections. (there aren't that many)

Thanks for the quick responses, and I should have realized any solution would begin and end with diffing files. ;)
