1.0 Upgrade confusion

[roy]

I primarily use an MVP and I'm confused about the upgrade. I want to upgrade to be ready for the Schedules Direct switch, but I don't want to break the MVP using the Contour skin with all my plugins (WAF ).

After upgrading, if I specify gbpvr.exe as the MVP server in config.xml, will the MVP still work with the old skin and plugins?

If I use pvrx2.exe as the server, what will I gain and what will I lose on the MVP?

Does GBPVR.exe use the skins and plugins from the same old directories, while PVRX2.exe uses skins only from /skin2 and plugins only from subdirectories under /plugins?

Thanks, Roy

The new mvp server in pvrx2 is much more reliable and snappy than the old gbpvr.exe server, and renders directly to the MVP resolution (meaning slight better fonts and graphics).

Yeah, thats pretty much correct.

Thanks.

So, should pvrx2 work to serve the old (pre 1.0) plugins and Contour skin on the MVP?

The old Contour skin will not work. The new skinning system is entirely different.

Old plugins should work, but will need to be in subdirectories.
