how do I manually activate the template updater? #224

Closed StarSword-C closed 2 years ago

StarSword-C commented 2 years ago

Just updated from the last 2.## to 3.1. I had the pop-up dialog come up to update my campaign vault's files to the new file structure, but I accidentally closed the window while I was making a backup of the old version and now I can't figure out where the option is to run the file updater manually.

Already looked in the documentation but I couldn't find it.

If you disable RPGM, restart Obsidian, and re-enable RPG Manager, it should prompt you to update the vault.

If it doesn't, try this.

Go to .obsidian/plugins/RPG-Manager/

Open data.json

Look for the key "previousVersion": "x.x",

If it says 3.1, change that to be your last prior 2.x.x version. You can reference the Releases page help determine when you last updated.

Thank you, this solved the initial problem. Several of my components threw an issue saying they're missing a campaign with an id of 1, but I was able to fix that by manually going through them and then reopening the vault again. Also, and I don't know if this is something you guys had anything to do with, the dates coded in some components didn't change over the new order (was MM-DD-YYYY, is now YYYY-MM-DD).

Also, something else odd I noticed: in a couple of places, data that was in the "goals" field of an NPC got moved to the "pronoun" field for some reason. I'll attach examples. Queen Natali Cervi OLD.md Queen Natali Cervi NEW.md

@StarSword-C ouch, that's very strange. I will dig into it to see what went wrong. In regards to the dates, RPG Manager currently supports Gregorian calendar, so it is feeding the date to the date manager, that probably went haywire with the date you are using.

Soon RPG Manager will support Fantasy Calendar...

Well, Pathfinder actually uses the Gregorian calendar, just with different month names and with the years starting in the 48th century, but yeah, in the last version of RPG Manager those dates did work.

This actually happened with me too! Though I think it was moving dob to the goals for some files. It was kinda inconsistent. I fixed them, so I don’t have any examples handy.

carlonicora commented 2 years ago

@cjolson Yes, I have found the bug for the goals and fixed it already, it will be out in the next version, alas for the previous import... :(
