Upgrading MGE

Post » Sat May 28, 2011 4:07 am

Hi, sorry to start another topic but I've just discovered there's a newer version of MGE out - I'm running 3.3.2 at the moment, how easy/painful is it going to be to upgrade, given that I don't really understand how I got the one I've got working in the first place!

If you have the prerequisites, it will be a breeze.

Read the FAQ. It is all there. You may like the new animated grass feature. And more stuff if you have some graphics power.

If anything using MGE has gotten easier -- the newer interfaces are much more helpful and (in my opinion) consistent than some of the older stuff due to a lot of reorganization. If you're unsure about performance or stability with respect to your system in particular, I'd recommend trying 3.8.0b first -- and if you want the more advanced features, upgrading to one of the newest SVN versions. The MGE thread's opening post has a lot of useful stuff to read through, and the wiki has some fairly detailed instructions.

For future reference though, it's always better to post in the current MGE thread -- more people will respond, especially the developers if you have a technical problem others can't answer, and it keeps your problem in a place more likely to be seen by others who might be wondering the same thing. So if you get stuck upgrading (and if your system is powerful enough, it is well worth it!), give them a shout =)

Good luck!
