Avery submitted a new resource:

Essentials Update Assistant - A helpful tool for any Essentials dev!

The Update Assistant is a script that helps update player's games when they get a new version of the game and prevents players with newer versions of the game from playing old versions and possibly breaking their saves. The instructions are in the script itself, along with settings you can use. If you find any errors, please post them in the Discussions Tab. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them in the previously mentioned tab too.

So... a question... when you say this script "helps update player's games when they get a new version of the game", what do you mean to be exactly as I am a bit confused?

So. Imagine you released a beta with two gyms. But then - oh no! You've added more Pokemon, changed scripts around... old save files will crash! And a player has downloaded it without realising that's an issue! This script will pop up a warning when they try and open the new version, telling them that it won't work.

But to use it, do you just put the script in the editor, or do you need to use some script command written in the game to verify the updates? And it works on 17,2?

There's a few instructions to get it working, they're all listed at the top of the script! It looks like it might work with 17.2, none of the commands seem to be newer ones, but the best way to find out is to check for yourself!
