Upgrading from Tessera to Tessera Pro

Unfortunately, it's not possible to preserve compatibility in Unity when replacing a .dll with a set of scripts.

If you previously developed a game with Tessera, and you have now downloaded Tessera Pro instead, you'll see the following error.

Don't panic. All your data is still there.

To fix it, please backup your project, then run Tools > Tessera > Upgrade Scene to Tessera Pro.

If you like, you can delete all the "dummy" files in the Tessera folder - these files only exist to simplify this transition.

Advanced

If you don't like upgrading scene by scene, you can edit Unity's yaml directly. The following instructions replace the main script references.

Save your changes, then reload the scene in Unity. If done correctly, the scripts should now work.

Downgrading

Downgrades can be done by following the Advanced instructions, reversing Find and Replace.
