Versions and How to upgrade.
« on: February 11, 2012, 05:57:36 pm »
Please pardon my lack of knowledge.

I have Unity 5.4.1
I have 2dToolkit 1.51a

I have downloaded the 1.56 Final

Before i do anything, Do i have to upgrade my current version of Unity? (to 5.4.2)?

If so, thats ok, Its just that i tend to not upgrade unless i have to.
This odd behavior comes from Microsoft upgrades that break things.

The other question is where do i place my ".unitypackage"?
I dont even know where my 1.51a is.
I found a folder "C:\Program Files\Unity\Editor\Standard Packages" but my 2dtoolkit package is not there.
But everything is working fine.

I want to upgrade to 2dTK 1.56 because i need diceing.

Thank You
Jerry C

I'm guessing you mean Unity 3.4.1? I am not testing with this version any more, though there weren't any relevant changes between 3.4.1 and 3.4.2, so my guess is you won't have to update to 3.4.2, but you could if you wanted. Once you download the unitypackage, simply go to Assets > Import Package > Custom Package... from within Unity and point it to the unitypackage to install it. Before you upgrade 2d toolkit or Unity, you could make a backup of your project folder just in case something goes wrong. It shouldn't, and I take a great deal of care in making sure things are backwards compatible, but its always better to be safe than sorry.
