NOTE: This is a direct copy-paste from the RC topic at this stage.Firstly, any content other than level files - if you didn't already bring it up to date with the V12.7 format changes, you
must do so for it to work with this version.
Levels will work as is (aside from those using Simple Autosteel), but you should run them through Cleanse Levels anyway if you haven't done so since V12.7.
Replays should be loaded and re-saved, or run through the
replay refresher BUT - do
NOT run any replays through the refresher if they're from 12.9 or newer (as it may break replays involving the Jumper skill).
Styles "should" be fine, as I upgraded all of them myself alongside the 12.7 release. But the "should" comes from that some people have then used pre-12.7 versions of these styles (despite my repeated stressing that there have been changes) and not run the results through the update tool, meaning there are styles out there that will not work as-is. IchoTolot has generously fixed all known styles with this issue, so please try redownloading them if you're having issues.
Other content shouldn't be affected by this.
Now that changes that should've been dealt with a long time ago anyway are out of the way, here's what's specific to this new version.If your content does not use any kind of custom menu graphics, you should not need to do anything. Run a mass replay check just in case. Note that mass replay check is no longer accessed via pressing F7 - instead, look in the Level Select menu.
For content that uses custom menu graphics,- Custom logo: Will work as-is, but note that the size limit for this is
hugely increased - 848x128, up from 632x92. If you want to make a bigger one, you can now do so.
- Custom "Talisman" menu sign: Delete it. This graphic is no longer used.
- Custom rank sign: This needs to be remade as three seperate graphics (sign, up button, down button), see the default graphics in "gfx/menu" for an example.
This one has no backwards compatibility, for technical reasons.- Custom "Level Select" menu sign: Rename the file to "sign_level_select.png". For now, the old filename works but is considered deprecated.
- Custom rank graphics: Check that they look alright. Fix if needed, but they'll likely be fine as-is. Rename to "group_graphic.png", again, old filename works but is deprecated.
- Custom menu signs in general: Although existing graphics will work (except for the rank sign), you may want to design new ones that are closer to the new default menu's sizing.
- Custom font: The font is now increased in height by 3px. Existing custom fonts will work but may look weird.
- Custom scroller graphics: This graphic is now increased in height by 3px. Existing custom graphics will work but may look weird.
