Upgrading from a Previous Version

[!WARNING] If you are installing BGS-Tally for the first time, these are NOT the instructions for you. Take a look here instead →.

If you are upgrading from a previous version, carry on!

If you are running v3 or later of BGS-Tally, it should automatically update itself whenever a new version is released. Only follow the instructions below if:

  1. You are running a version earlier than v3 - i.e. v1.x or v2.x
  2. The automatic updating is for some reason not working for you
  3. You want to install a pre-release version of the plugin - either alpha or beta versions.

Step 1 - Download the BGS Tally Plugin

The latest version of the plugin can always be downloaded by clicking this link - this will download a zip file called BGS-Tally.zip.

Step 2 - Extract the Zip file

Once this is downloaded, go to your Downloads folder and right-click the BGS-Tally.zip file, then select Extract All...

It will ask you where to extract the contents, just click Extract, which will put them inside a BGS-Tally folder inside your Downloads folder.

Step 3 - Keeping your Current Data

The plugin saves some data to the BGS-Tally folder, so if you want to keep your progress you'll need to make sure this data is copied across to the new version. If you don't know where your old BGS-Tally folder is, you can find it in the Plugin Settings panel in EDMC: See Steps 5-7 in the Installation instructions page for info on how to do this.

Files and Folders to Keep

After quitting EDMC, copy these files and folders - if they exist - across from your old BGS-Tally folder to the new BGS-Tally folder you extracted in Step 2:

  • Today.txt
  • Yesterday.txt
  • MissionLog.txt
  • activitydata\
  • otherdata\

Step 4 - Replace the Old with the New

Finally, just replace your old BGS-Tally folder with the new one you just downloaded, and relaunch EDMC.
