convert(or fix) a houdini 11 file to run on 12.5

[MohamedSakr]

I got a houdini 11 file .hipnc that got many warnings when opening on houdini 12.5

warnings are in dopnetworks and other places, generally are Skipping unrecognized parameter

any easy way to fix this? as I'm still new ,what I guess is that these parameters names have changed from version to version

tell me how to convert the file,or at least a place to know "names" of each parameters at houdini 11 and 12.5 to convert them manually

thanks in advance

Re-save under a different name and load the new version in H12.5? If that still gives you warnings, then it's because you're using from HDAs that also need to be resaved in H12.5.

There's no straightforward answer because nodes can change from one Houdini version to another as new improvements are introduced. For example the Pyro nodes are completely different because the way the solver itself works has changed. Other nodes have changed too but they have changed in different ways so there's no silver bullet to fix them all. If you need to keep things exactly the same then keep working in the older version of Houdini, or at least write out what you can to BGEO files so you don't have to setup some stuff again in the newer version of Houdini.

ah I see

thanks a lot for the info and help

I thought there may be a converter in the lots of houdini apps folder that may do this automagically
