= How to port your A26 mod to A27 =
This lists (most) of the template-changing commits, and how to fix them. And also some other breaking changes.

=== r27114 & r27115 ===
Move unit portraits to their own specific folders. Modders can change their templates with the script at ​**MISSING**.

=== r27169 ===
The minimap now requires a background per civilization. It should be placed in  `session/icons/bkg/` and named `background_circle_{civ}.png` You can also remove that feature by editing `gui/session/minimap/MiniMapPanel.js` or adding exclusions.

=== r27245 ===
The requirements of training and upgrades are now handled by a Requirements helper. The schema of both is unified. One can fix the templates with: Phab:P265. [[BR]]

=== r27308 ===
`basic_spec.xml`,`blend_spec.xml`,`objectcolor_spec.xml`,`playercolor_spec.xml` have been removed. You can use Phab:P290 to fix them.

=== rP27368 === 

`aura.xml` `basic_glow.xml` `basic_glow_norm.xml` `basic_glow_wind.xml` `basic_specmap.xml` `basic_trans_ao.xml` `basic_trans_ao_spec.xml` `basic_trans_spec.xml` `no_trans_ao.xml` `no_trans_ao_spec.xml` `no_trans_parallax_ao.xml` `no_trans_spec.xml` `objectcolor_specmap.xml` `player_trans_ao.xml` `player_trans_ao_parallax.xml` `player_trans_norm.xml` `player_trans_parallax.xml` `player_trans_spec.xml` `player_trans_spec_helmet.xml` `trans_wind.xml`  were removed. You can use Phab:P292 to fix them

**IMPORTANT**: The reason they were removed is that the more materials the least performance. You should always use empty normal maps and spec maps (2x2 null_white.dds or null_black.dds for spec) and default_norm for normal. 
You might notice some artifacts on transparent meshes.

=== r27722 ===
The diplomacy stuff is taken out of the Player component, this leaves a smaller Player.js file and allows easier modding of just diplomacy-related code. One should change the player templates to have
{{{
    <SharedLosTech/>
    <SharedDropsitesTech/>
}}}
in a new `Diplomacy` node.
