Instructions for Patching 1.0.5 to 1.6.1

If you are not currently at 1.0.5 see instructions further down.

Version 1.6.1 Patch - Patch to 1.6.1 from 1.0.5 (1.87 Mb)

Download Link

If you are patching from 1.0.5 please back up your XML folder and any custom content before patching to 1.6.1 as the data and file patches are very complex and may conflict with existing files.

If you are patching from 1.0.5 you will need to install both the file and data patches below.

Do not run the application until you have installed the 1.6.1 patch above and also the 1.6 File Patch below.

Version 1.6.1 File Patch - Only for installations patched to 1.6.1 (.exe Zip file, 1.03 Mb)

Download Link

This is a self-extracting .zip file. Run it and make sure that the target directory is your installation folder e.g. C:\Program Files\RPGXplorer\Characters and Rules.

Windows Vista users will have to run the file patch in administrator mode.

Version 1.6.1 Data Patch - Only for installations patched to 1.6.1 (Zip file, 309 Kb)

This file contains the Psionics data to import into RPGXplorer. Unzip the file to a temporary location of your choosing e.g. desktop, then use File -> Load Components on each file in turn.

If you have any existing components which conflict with the new components added by these files you will be unable to complete patching until you remove or rename your conflicting components.

Users of Previous Versions - 1.04 and 1.03 (NOT 1.04a)
RPGXplorer 1.05 will install separately from version 1.04 and below (NOTE: This does not apply to 1.04a). You can keep your existing database (1.03 versions and 1.04 only) and rule pages by simply copying and pasting the XML and HTML folders into the new installation directory and replacing the existing files. If you copy the "RPGXplorer.dlsc" to this directory also, you will not need to re-enter your license key.

Versions 1.02a and below
Unfortunately characters created with older versions of RPGXplorer (1.02a and older) are not compatible with the current release. Any characters from these older versions will have to be re-entered manually, you may wish to print out character sheets for any characters you wish to transfer prior to uninstalling the older version.

Other rule components can be transfered by using the "Save Components" and "Load Components" commands available from the file menu.
