Source Code errors

[Guyserman82]

When I try to load source codes, one of three things happen:
One, they work.

Two, I get this error code:

Code: ags

An error occurred whilst trying to load your game. The error was:

Data at root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1.

If you cannot resolve the error, please post on the AGS Techincal Forum for assistance

Three, I get this error code:

Code: ags

An error occurred whilst trying to load your game. The error was:

This game was saved by an old version of AGS. This version of the
editor can only import games saved with AGS 2.72.

IF you cannot resolve the error, please post on the AGS Technical
Forum for assistance.

Can anybody give me some help?

Well, do you always get the same behaviour with each particular game, or are you getting random errors with one particular game?

[Guyserman82]

It depends on the game, but I will always get the same error code when I open each game.

The third error is self explanitory:

This game was saved by an old version of AGS. This version of the
editor can only import games saved with AGS 2.72.

AGS 3.x cannot open games that were made with versions before 2.72. You need to load the game into AGS 2.72 first and save it, then AGS 3.x will be able to load it.

Data at root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1.

This indicates that the game file is corrupt for some reason. If it is one particular game that is causing you this problem, try renaming the "Game.agf" file to something else, then rename "Game.agf.bak" to "Game.agf" and see if that resolves the problem.

Guyserman, allow me to make a small and rather intuitive guess... are you opening "ac2game.ags" file from some open source project?
