So I broke it already

[kbs666]

All my old realms are Legacy. I tried converting one I didn't care about to Other. It reported some rather drastic changes.

I have submitted a bug report on the failure to import my legacy realm into an empty PF realm. I can send you the XML file if that will help. Just tell me where you want it.

If you can post it on Dropbox or any other resource you choose to use, that would be great. Then include a link to that location in your support ticket. We can pull it down and take a closer look at it.

Thanks, Rob

I have been able to reproduce a crash when importing a Legacy realm into an Other game system realm. I've gleaned some details of what's going wrong and relayed them to David. He's the expert on the import logic, so he'll need to take it from here. I expect he'll be up and investigating this in a few hours.

I'm confused.

I don't remember in which game system I created my realms. A neutral one as at is Call of Cthulhu and Runequest/Glorantha games.

How can I see in which game system iti s on? And how to change it?

Thanks

Click on the Manage menu at the top to show the Manage ribbon bar. Then click on the Realm button at the far left to manage your realm.

Once there, click on the General button down the left edge to view the general details about your realm. It will show you the game system that the realm is based upon.

If you want to change the game system, click on the Game System button down the left edge. You'll see the option to convert to a new game system there.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the instructions...

My realm is also "Legacy" - any way to convert to "Other"?
Should I convert?

It might be a good test case as its really tiny, so easy to manipulate.

Oh - and it does NOT show up in the General tab...

For thoughts on whether you SHOULD convert, please see this other thread:

It was supposed to be shown in the General tab. It's not. I'll be informing the team to get that rectified. Sorry for the misinformation.

Go to Manage->Realm-> Game system

Directly under where it says legacy you should see a drop box labeled "change game system to:" choose Other from the list and press the button.

I just had a full crash (crash report submitted) trying to import a small (1 list, 2 topics) export from one Legacy type realm to another Legacy type realm. And now when I try to sync the realm the export came from, I get a Sync Failure. The only changes I made to the export realm were the addition of the export definition and the adding of an export tag via bulk tag.

Same problem: I converted from Legacy to system neutral. Exported. Then tried to import it in a System neutral realm. Same error

The following errors were encountered during import:

Encountered validation error for the import XML: The 'text_role' attribute is invalid - The value 'Abbreviation' is invalid according to its datatype 'urn:lonewolfdevel.com:realm-works-export:text_role' - The Enumeration constraint failed.
