Default Backgrounds - Default DMD #46

Closed gate001 closed 5 years ago

gate001 commented 5 years ago

In one of my tables I used the pinballY default DMD. With this new version that table have an error (file not found). I had to copy the file DefaultDMD.png (from \assets folder) to the \media\image folder (and rename it with a space) to eliminate that error.

Did you install from the ZIP? This version rearranged the assets folder a bit, and the ZIP didn't have the updated files. If you grab this file:

http://mjrnet.org/pinscape/downloads/PinballY/assets-20190214.zip

and unzip it into your existing folder, it should give you the missing files.

(The missing files were just an oversight in my ZIP scripts for the Beta 6 update. This extra ZIP isn't something you'll need to use routinely in the future.)

I used the ZIP file to overwrite the existing files. Tonight I will erase the \asset folder and copy those of your ZIP. I will also delete the "Default DMD.png" file from the \media\image folder. Do I have to delete the files I copied in \media\image\Button Sounds? Because I also had no sound.

mjrgh commented 5 years ago

Yes, the button sounds were moved as well.

It's perfect, it works. At the next Beta version I will redo a clean installation because I think I have some files of the old version that remains.

Rename the PinballY folder as backup. Create a new PinballY folder (with the same name as the previous one) Unzip the new beta version in the new folder. Copy the previous settings.txt file to the pinballY folder. Copy the previous "media" folder to the pinballY folder.

Is this the best way to make an update? Do I forget a file?

You'll also want to copy over GameStats.csv, plus your Database folder tree, if you're keeping the XML game list files under the PInballY folder.

Note that Windows Setup is pretty good about handling this sort of update operation, if you want to switch over to that at some point. It keeps records on which files it installs, so when it does an update, it automatically cleans up files that are no longer present, adds files that are newly added, and leaves intact anything that's been modified.

OK, thanks
