Automatic Updating
This plugin automatically checks GitHub for new releases. When a new release is available, the option to update will appear in the Project > Tools menu.
Starting an Update
Important
Save the state of the project, and close all open scenes and scripts.
Select the option from Project > Tools > Update Maaack's Minimal Game Template to v....
A window will pop-up, confirming the choice to update to the latest release. Select OK.
Another window will show progress through downloading, saving, and extracting.
This effectively deletes the current addons/maaacks_game_template/ folder and replaces it with a new one. Nothing outside of addons/ should be affected.
After, a window should appear confirming a successful update.
Disabling Automatic Checking
You can disable the automatic update checks by going into the Project Settings, and enabling the maaacks_game_template/disable_update_check setting. You can then close the window.
Issues
If the option to update does not appear, try restarting the editor, or re-enabling the plugin.
Updating adds the examples folder into the addons/maaacks_game_template/ folder, if it had been deleted previously.
Files already copied from the examples folder will not be affected by an update. However, a mismatch of versions may cause issues, too. If there are no major customizations to the copied files, it is recommended to delete them and recopy from Project > Tools > Run Maaack's Minimal Game Template Setup....
