How to Update this plugin.

Warning

This page is meant for guiding you through updating this Plugin, in case you have installed it before. Please refer to Installation if you're installing the Plugin for the first time.

Big Update (v3.0.0)

Follow the guidance below if you're upgrading from a lower version than v3.0.0. See Regular Update section below for updating to any version later than v3.0.0 from any version above v3.0.0.


  1. Currently you should see 2 folders and 1 file in the "Arcky's Region Map" folder.

  2. Let's start by opening 000_Settings_and_Setup folder.

  3. Let's copy the 000_RegionMap_Settings.rb and 001_RegionMap_LocationInfo.rb file to our desktop (or any location on your pc) as a back up.
  4. After doing that, we can now remove all the content inside the "Arcky's Region Map" folder and replace it with the v3.0.0 update content.
  5. Copy these 6 folders and the meta file into the empty "Arcky's Region Map" plugin folder of your project.

  6. The next step is to copy and replace the 001_RegionMap_LocationInfo.rb file from your back-up location on your pc into the 000_Settings_and_Setup folder.
  7. The final step is a bit more work unless you don't mind starting over, open the back-up file 000_RegionMap_Settings.rb and the one in 000_Settings_and_Setup and place them side by side. Copy the settings values you had before over to the new file. But be careful as the Settings names have all be changed but the order didn't change.
  8. That's all for updating to v3.0.0 of this Plugin. If you would have encountered any issues or you're not sure about something, feel free to contact me through discord.

Regular Update

Updating this plugin is very easy but there are a few thing you need to keep in mind before doing this blindly.

  • When updating this plugin, always make a back-up of these 2 files.

  • If you're a bit more familiar with this Plugin already, you might understand better why these 2 files are so important and to better not loose them.
  • These files contain all your modifications you've made for the Plugin to use.
  • When updating the plugin and you would just replace the whole Plugin folder, all your settings and locationInfo data would be lost and replaced by the default values that come with the plugin.
  • Also always make a back up of your Town Map (v21.1) folder. This is important when a new update comes with modified or new Graphics to add. You can also copy the new one over manually to make sure nothing unwanted is replaced.
