Migration notes: godot-genre-action-rpg

Incremental upgrade for topics this skill covers. Apply one hop, stabilize/test, then next. Never skip hops.

If the project is < 4.0, follow godot-version-migration era bridges (legacy → 3→4) until 4.0, then these hops. Official 3→4: Upgrading from Godot 3 to Godot 4.

4.0 → 4.1

Official: Upgrading to Godot 4.1

No skill-relevant breaking changes for this hop.

4.1 → 4.2

Official: Upgrading to Godot 4.2

No skill-relevant breaking changes for this hop.

4.2 → 4.3

Official: Upgrading to Godot 4.3

  • If the genre uses TileMap, migrate to TileMapLayer nodes before relying on layer APIs.
  • If the genre ships multiplayer, upgrade all peers to 4.3 together (SceneMultiplayer protocol).
  • Re-test save formats after Object/Array serialization and PackedByteArray storage changes (character/inventory snapshots).

4.3 → 4.4

Official: Upgrading to Godot 4.4

  • @export_file stores uid:// paths from the Inspector — resolve UIDs in loot-table and quest Resource paths.
  • FileAccess.store_* methods return bool success — handle save failures explicitly.
  • Curve enforces min_value/max_value — retune XP/loot curves built at runtime.

4.4 → 4.5

Official: Upgrading to Godot 4.5

  • Resource deep-duplicate and UID export-file changes affect inventory/quest/economy Resource graphs.
  • Resource.duplicate(true) deep-duplicates only internal resources; use duplicate_deep(DEEP_DUPLICATE_ALL) when cloning full item/quest trees.

4.5 → 4.6

Official: Upgrading to Godot 4.6

  • Retune Environment glow/fog if the genre leans on bloom-heavy looks (spell VFX, town lighting).
  • Scene unique IDs change diffs — migrate save schemas if they keyed on old node identity assumptions.

4.6 → 4.7

Official: Upgrading to Godot 4.7

  • Confirm project stretch mode and AudioStreamPlayer.area_mask after opening in 4.7.
  • Re-validate Resource pipelines after packed-array setter and typed-return GDScript changes (stat modifiers, proc effects).
