Title: proper way to update 2d toolkit?
Post by: Afro-Ninja on March 15, 2013, 04:29:47 am

Sorry if this is a bit basic and I missed the answer somewhere, but what is the proper way to update 2dtoolkit in my project?

I downloaded 2dtoolkit several months ago and started a project, now I would like to update my version to take advantage of new features. do I just re-download from the asset store and over-write my TK2DROOT folder? I'm particularly interested in applying basic lighting to my sprites (I use 2dtk sprites but not the camera)

That is pretty much it.
Create a backup of your project before updating in the unlikely event that something goes wrong, but apart from that you should be fine.

thanks, everything is all updated. although it looks like the lighting effect I want to achieve is essentially the 'flashlight' update that I've seen you discussing in the other forum. I take it there's no other way to apply a basic lighting effect to my 2d sprites at this point? (sort of like what is achieved in terraria)

if not I eagerly await the add-on and would gladly pay for it.

That add-on will be coming real soon after 2.0 is out (and 2.0 is very likely to be out shortly after 1.92 final is released).
