Update Notes: From v1093 to v1101 or above

[Kentou]

Hello everyone,

this topic contains some useful notes for people updating from 1093 to the latest version of VN Maker.

1. You have to do a real play test (Green Play-Button) first and restart Live Preview to fix black screen issue in the Live Preview area.

2. If suddently some of your pictures, backgrounds or character expressions are not displayed anymore, this might be a migration issue. In that case, re-selecting each asset for each commands, database entry, etc. might fix the issue. But usually, this is done automatically by the migration script.

There is also correction script here which can be used to fix Live2D references or Message Settings references. It might be extended in the future if more issues are reported: https://pastebin.com/raw/5K1tMNe4

How to use:
- Make a backup of your project.
- Copy that script into your clipboard.
- Then open VN Maker, make sure to not select a scene, select a chapter instead or switch to Script Editor.
- Then press F12 to open the debug console. At the bottom of that console there is single-line text field where commands can be entered.
- Paste the script there using Right Click > Paste. Then press Enter/Return key to execute it. If no red errors occure, the script finished successfully.
- Now save the project and select File > Reload Project.

3. If you have issues displaying character expressions such as talking expressions, there is a fix here:
Please replace Components > Component_CharacterBehavior with this:

This already has been fixed but depending on when you updated your project to v1100 you might not have this fix.

Also, the Patches Section in RMW Forums might be useful too: https://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?threads/vnm-patches.106437/

4. If you have too much trouble updating, you can stay on 1093 by right clicking VN Maker in Steam, selecting Properties > BETAs tab and select "v1093" there. However, that is only recommended for existing projects with to hard to solve migration issues.
