Hi all,

If I missed a post on this I apologize.

The projects I opened worked in 4.8.2.

When I loaded 4.8.3 and opened a current project, I was checking everything and my scripts did not work. When I looked at the scripts the containers are there but all of them are empty. Without saving my project I exited and opened the project in text editor and the scripts seem to be there but were not loaded. I opened another test project and the same thing.

I then open the same project with 4.8.2 and it was also missing. BUT, I created a new project in 4.8.2. I added 2 simple scenes and some scripts to turn off the scenes. I then tested it by saving and re-opening (GOOD).

I then open the same project that worked in 4.8.2 in 4.8.3 and it did not bring in the script contents.

Happy Hunting

Hello Jimmy. You're not missing anything.
When I reworked the Script part, I noticed that the whole script was saved in the XML file in a single tag ()
For long scripts, that might result in a huge, unreadable string, so I thought to split every line in separate tags ()

Unfortunately this breaks backward compatibility.
So you need either to migrate your scripts from 4.8.2 to 4.8.3 (just a bunch of copy/paste) or I could add the missing code to read "old" contents.

Do you build from sources ? Which OS ?

Hi Massimo,

I've been trying to get my MAC book setup to compile and play with the code, but can't get it going just yet.

If you can tell me the edits I will change them in the file. That would be the easiest unless a lot of people are affected.
