Migrate from previous version

Version 2 includes several changes that will break most games that were created in previous versions.

Important changes to the server configuration are:

  • The default data directory is now called "adaptorex" instead of "data"
  • The "user" option in "config.json" is now called "users" (see Readme)

If you want to migrate levels created with version 1.x you need to consider the following changes if you use any of the respective elements:

  • Data action load ("Load Item") is now called getItem ("Get Item")
  • Data action create ("Create Item") is now called addItem ("Add Item")
  • "name" property in data action addItem (fka. create) is now called "reference".
  • The property name in the function action is now called function
  • The syntax for functions that are called inside variables has changed

Functions that are called inside variables are now referenced by functions (plural) instead of function and functions that are called inside variables require to define the arguments type. You will need to wrap all arguments in quotes to update your level.

E.g. [[function.test(value1,value2)]] should become [[functions.test("value1","value2")]]

  • Telegram action dialog ("Dialog") is now called onMessage ("On Incoming Message")
  • Telegram On Incoming Message timeout structure changed and is now separated into while idle and finally option.
  • Twilio Action smsout is now called sendSms.
  • Twilio Action smsin is now called onSms.
  • Twilio Action callin is now called onCall.
  • Telegram and Twilio telnumber property is now called phone_number

To make sure you get hold of all changes, download each level and find and replace the above names, before you upload your levels to the updated adaptor:ex editor.

Even though it is possible to adapt all elements of a game to fit Version 2 we recommend to create a new game and recreate your plugins and copy your data collections from the original project.
