CasperLet/Migration Tool
Supported Migrations
Currently this tool only supports migration from HippoRent.
Migration Caution
 | This tool is unsupported and provided only on an as-is basis, without warranty. This tool may not move any or all of the available configuration options, if Hippo Technologies blocks any part of its actions. |
Basically, this tool should work, and should transfer the time remaining, but if it doesn't, it's not CasperTech's responsibility (the migration tool script depends on Hippo Technologies not changing anything in their scripts) - please test it on a single unit to verify that it still works before full-scale use!
Also, be aware that Hippo Technologies may take steps to disable this functionality in future versions of the HippoRent system, as is their right.
Migration Requirements
The migration kit itself doesn't need to connect to the HippoRent system.
However, the HippoRent units themselves will usually need to contact the website in order to retrieve data to feed to the migration script. Thus, on occasions when the HippoRent website is not contactable (such as if they have a site outage), getting data FOR migration is not guaranteed to happen either.
How to Migrate
 | This process will completely replace all HippoRent scripts and textures with the CasperLet script and textures. This also means you will no longer have access to the rental history from the HippoRent boxes. If you want to keep your HippoRent boxes for archival or historical purposes, "take a copy" FIRST. |
- Rez the Migration Base somewhere on the same sim as your HippoRent unit
- Drop the Hippo Inquisitor script into a rental unit you want to convert
- Wait for the process to complete
- Run the latest CasperLet UpgradeBee, using the "upgrade" function, to make the CasperLet script current.
NOTE: This will need to be done on a per-unit basis only. This tool cannot migrate an entire sim/region's worth of rental units at one shot.
Customising Your Rental Units
Once you are done migrating, if you wish to customise your rental units, see the instructions on this page to ensure proper functionality, including any desired texture changes with rental state changes.

FAQ / Troubleshooting
- Q. I migrated my renter information to CasperLet, but it's an older version of the CasperLet script - is this a problem?
- A. There's no harm, just use the UpgradeBee from the current shipping crate to bring them up to date. Casper just hasn't updated the CasperLet script in the migration tool yet.
