¿How i make a update from my game?

[Pochi]

Hi.

This is really easy to explain, but i don't know how i can do it...

My game have episodes, and i want to:

If i release my game with the episode one, and then i want to release the episode two, ¿How i can make the project update without losing Save Data?

If i didn't explain good, please, leave a reply.

Just make sure episode2 doesn't use any Graphics/Sounds/Maps that episode1 hasn't got.
Or include those extra graphics/sounds/data into the episode2 pack

you need to distribute each episode as its own game, and each episode needs to use the entire database of the previous episode as well as the same maps, only adding to the game but NEVER removing parts.

because if you start removing parts of the database, the IDs would mix up and the savefiles become incompatible.

Also make sure that you do not add plug-ins in between episodes. All plugins that you want to use throughout the entire game must be present from episode 1.

Edit: disregard this, please. Didn't notice that this was VX ace and not MV.

As Andar said, you should never remove parts. Neither, however, should you move things around in your database. If your Heal Potion 50HP is item 3, it must always stay item 3.

No need to disregard this, it counts for Ace as well as MV.

Plugins are just formalised scripts that are easier to use, but the scripts of Ace have exactly the same limitations for exactly the same reasons.

Lemme see if I understand.

• For making that works, I need to release each episode like an own game, and the ones that downloaded it, just need to move their save data to the next chapter... ¿Don't ya?

• I don't have to move something for the original database of the chapter one, or pictures... music... NOTHING, I understand.

Well, that's it..
One more question, if i want to add more things to the chapter one and it still presents in other chapters... ¿I need to update all of them, right?
