0.5.x</h1><p>Rojo underwent a large refactor during most of 2018 to enable a bunch of new features and lay groundwork for lots more in 2019. As such, Rojo <strong>0.5.x</strong> projects are not compatible with Rojo <strong>0.4.x</strong> projects.</p>

  11. <p>Rojo 0.5.x uses a different name for its project format. While 0.4.x used <code>rojo.json</code>, 0.5.x uses <code>default.project.json</code>, which allows them to coexist.</p>
  12. <p>If you aren't sure about upgrading or want to upgrade gradually, it's possible to keep both files in the same project without causing problems.</p>
  13. <h2 id="upgrading-your-project-file">Upgrading Your Project File<a class="headerlink" href="#upgrading-your-project-file" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h2>
  14. <p>Project files in 0.5.x are more explicit and flexible than they were in 0.4.x. Project files can now describe models and plugins in addition to places.</p>
  15. <p>This new project file format also guards against two of the biggest pitfalls when writing a config file:</p>
  16. <ul>
  17. <li>Using a service as a partition target directly, which often wiped away extra instances</li>
  18. <li>Defining two partitions that overlapped, which made Rojo act unpredictably</li>
  19. </ul>
  20. <p>The biggest change is that the <code>partitions</code> field has been replaced with a new field, <code>tree</code>, that describes the entire hierarchy of your project from the top-down.</p>
  21. <p>A project for 0.4.x that syncs from the <code>src</code> directory into <code>ReplicatedStorage.Source</code> would look like this:</p>
  22. <div class="codehilite"><pre><span></span><span class="p">{</span>
  23. <span class="nt">&quot;name&quot;</span><span class="p">:</span> <span class="s2">&quot;Rojo 0.4.x Example&quot;</span><span class="p">,</span>
  24. <span class="nt">&quot;partitions&quot;</span><span class="p">:</span> <span class="p">{</span>
  25. <span class="nt">&quot;path&quot;</span><span class="p">:</span> <span class="s2">&quot;src&quot;</span><span class="p">,</span>
  26. <span class="nt">&quot;target&quot;</span><span class="p">:</span> <span class="s2">&quot;ReplicatedStorage.Source&quot;</span>
  27. <span class="p">}</span>
  28. <span class="p">}</span>
  29. </pre></div>
  30. <p>In 0.5.x, the project format is more explicit:</p>
  31. <div class="codehilite"><pre><span></span><span class="p">{</span>
  32. <span class="nt">&quot;name&quot;</span><span class="p">:</span> <span class="s2">&quot;Rojo 0.5.x Example&quot;</span><span class="p">,</span>
  33. <span class="nt">&quot;tree&quot;</span><span class="p">:</span> <span class="p">{</span>
  34. <span class="nt">&quot;$className&quot;</span><span class="p">:</span> <span class="s2">&quot;DataModel&quot;</span><span class="p">,</span>
  35. <span class="nt">&quot;ReplicatedStorage&quot;</span><span class="p">:</span> <span class="p">{</span>
  36. <span class="nt">&quot;$className&quot;</span><span class="p">:</span> <span class="s2">&quot;ReplicatedStorage&quot;</span><span class="p">,</span>
  37. <span class="nt">&quot;Source&quot;</span><span class="p">:</span> <span class="p">{</span>
  38. <span class="nt">&quot;$path&quot;</span><span class="p">:</span> <span class="s2">&quot;src&quot;</span>
  39. <span class="p">}</span>
  40. <span class="p">}</span>
  41. <span class="p">}</span>
  42. <span class="p">}</span>
  43. </pre></div>
  44. <p>For each object in the tree, we define <em>metadata</em> and <em>children</em>.</p>
  45. <p>Metadata begins with a dollar sign (<code>$</code>), like <code>$className</code>. This is so that children and metadata can coexist without creating too many nested layers.</p>
  46. <p>All other values are considered children, where the key is the instance's name, and the value is an object, repeating the process.</p>
  47. <h2 id="migrating-unknown-files">Migrating Unknown Files<a class="headerlink" href="#migrating-unknown-files" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h2>
  48. <p>If you used Rojo to sync in files as <code>StringValue</code> objects, you'll need to make sure those files end with the <code>txt</code> extension to preserve this in Rojo 0.5.x.</p>
  49. <p>Unknown files are now ignored in Rojo instead of being converted to <code>StringValue</code> objects.</p>
  50. <h2 id="migrating-initmodeljson-files">Migrating <code>init.model.json</code> files<a class="headerlink" href="#migrating-initmodeljson-files" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h2>
  51. <p>In Rojo 0.4.x, it's possible to create a file named <code>init.model.json</code> that lets you describe a model that becomes the container for all of the other files in the folder, just like <code>init.lua</code>.</p>
  52. <p>In Rojo 0.5.x, this feature has been replaced with <code>init.meta.json</code> files. See <a href="../../reference/sync-details">Sync Details</a> for more information about these new files.</p></article></div></div></main><footer class="md-footer"><div class="md-footer-nav"><nav class="md-footer-nav__inner md-grid"><a href="../existing-game/" title="Porting an Existing Game to Rojo" class="md-flex md-footer-nav__link md-footer-nav__link--prev" rel="prev"><div class="md-flex__cell md-flex__cell--shrink"><i class="md-icon md-icon--arrow-back md-footer-nav__button"></i></div><div class="md-flex__cell md-flex__cell--stretch md-footer-nav__title"><span class="md-flex__ellipsis"><span class="md-footer-nav__direction">Previous</span>Porting an Existing Game to Rojo</span></div></a><a href="../../reference/full-vs-partial/" title="Fully vs Partially Managed Rojo" class="md-flex md-footer-nav__link md-footer-nav__link--next" rel="next"><div class="md-flex__cell md-flex__cell--stretch md-footer-nav__title"><span class="md-flex__ellipsis"><span class="md-footer-nav__direction">Next</span>Fully vs Partially Managed Rojo</span></div><div class="md-flex__cell md-flex__cell--shrink"><i class="md-icon md-icon--arrow-forward md-footer-nav__button"></i></div></a></nav></div><div class="md-footer-meta md-typeset"><div class="md-footer-meta__inner md-grid"><div class="md-footer-copyright">powered by <a href="https://www.mkdocs.org">MkDocs</a> and <a href="https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/">Material for MkDocs</a></div></div></div></footer></div><script src="../../../assets/javascripts/application.b260a35d.js"></script><script>app.initialize({version:"1.0.4",url:{base:"../../.."}})</script></body></html>
