How to upgrade from ASkyblock

Nothing has changed since Challenges 0.3.0: you just have to edit the challenges.yml file from the addon's folder and use the Challenge GUI to import them.

⚠️ Keep in mind that the challenges.yml is just a tool for importing challenges from ASkyBlock. Using the Challenges Admin GUI brings you more customization options than ASkyBlock's challenges format.

⚠️ How to upgrade from Challenges 0.3.0 and below

Unfortunately, upgrading from 0.3.0 is not as easy as we wanted it to be.

The main issue comes with corrupted PlayerData, as we fixed a bug that caused some ids in the PlayerData files to somehow contain twice the world name in them.
In order to keep players' progress, you must edit the ids manually in each PlayerData file.

However, we provided you some automated ways of doing this in the Admin GUI:

But be aware that it may not work for all configurated world names and data loss remains possible.

Rework!

Challenges Addon in 0.5.0 Snapshot was reworked, and fixed a lot of bugs. But it comes with cost. Old code was rewritten and upgrading from 0.3.0 is not an easy task.
This is a guide how to do it.

1. Stop server!
2. Create backup of your data.
3. Download latest Challenges 0.5.0+ version and put it in addons folder.
   3*. Update locales folder.
4. Start your server.
5. As admin you should write /bsb challenges it will open GUI and click on Hopper that indicate that you want to import from previous Challenges version.
6. After import is done, stop the server.

And now comes the painful part.
In Challenges 0.3 and bellow data storage was corrupted, as it duplicates world name in players challenge data. To restore players challenges data you must remove duplicate.

F.e. if your island world name is bskyblock, then in players data will be challenges: bskyblockbskyblock_miner.

ATTENTION!!!!
If server is not using YAML database type then Challenges 0.5 cannot be used until ** BentoBox version 1.2.1**. BentoBox 1.2 and lower are not compatible with Challenges 0.5 data storing.
