Migration for Hildir update

New dungeons, environments, events and locations are added automatically. Changes to existing dungeon rooms require manual changes.

Automatic changes

• expand_locations.yaml should automatically add DevSpawnTest, Hildir_cave, Hildir_crypt and Hildir_plainsfortress.
  • Expand World Data version 1.7 did not add these correctly.
  • Check that Hildir_plainsfortress has noBuild: 8.75
• expand_environments.yaml should automatically add CavesHildir and CryptHildir.
• expand_events.yaml should automatically add hildirboss1, hildirboss2 and hildirboss3.
• expand_dungeons.yaml should automatically add DG_Hildir_Cave, DG_Hildir_ForestCrypt and DG_Hildir_PlainsFortress.
  • Expand World Data version 1.5 did not add these correctly.
  • Search and replace:
    • 1024 to CaveHildir
    • 2048 to ForestCryptHildir
    • 4096 to PlainsFortHildir
• expand_rooms.yaml should automatically add new rooms (for example plainsfortress_Hildir_Floor0).
  • Expand World Data version 1.5 did not add these correctly.
  • Search and replace:
    • 1024 to CaveHildir
    • 2048 to ForestCryptHildir
    • 4096 to PlainsFortHildir

Manual changes

• expand_rooms.yaml is missing changes to the old rooms.
  • If you have changed the file, copy it to another folder.
  • Delete the expand_rooms.yaml so that it regenerates when loading a world.
  • Use any tool to compare the files. Update room themes as needed.
