How to go about updating 2D Toolkit?

[Ngapi]

Hi forum!

Simple question here: I've been trying to stay up to date with the current 2DTK releases, and I'm wondering what the best way of updating is? I guess this might be a more general-Unity type question, but figured I'd try asking here. I have 2.1 Beta 3 installed, so what's the best method of updating to 2.1 Final in my current project? Thanks!

1. Make a backup of your project (worth doing occasionally anyway), make sure meta files are on before you do that.  (http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/Manual/ExternalVersionControlSystemSupport.html)

2. Create a new scene.

3. Import the new tk2d 2.1 final package.

4. If you're using JS, restart Unity, and run SetupforJS again. If not, you can ignore this step.

Worked perfectly, thanks! I had seen those directions for upgrading from 1.x to 2.x, but wasn't sure if they also applied for upgrading minor versions. I assumed you can safely throw away the empty scene you create during the upgrade. That's what I did anyway - doesn't seem to be causing problems. I really appreciate your quick response.

The empty scene is only there to avoid a Unity crash due to it updating scripts that are currently being used. From my tests, it crashes a lot less with an empty scene.

The crash isn't fatal either, restartgin Unity after the crash will make it recover.

Ah, got it. Good to know why that step is there. By the way I am really liking the new tilemap editor in 2.1. That feature is making my life so much easier right now
