Can't use downloaded templates

[JezzaTheLagomorph]

Hi, I'm new here. I couldn't find this question anywhere else, but if there's another thread about something like this, please don't flame me!
I downloaded some templates from the AGS website and I moved them to the templates folder of AGS. But when I run the editor and I select 'Start New Game', the templates I downloaded aren't there, only the three defualt templates.
Is there anything I can do about this?
Thanks!

Hi

I think if you try and use an old template from an old AGS version (ie 2.6) then it won't show up on the new AGS version (ie 3.1).. Some are only meant for earlier AGS versions.

Read about the Template and what version it runs with before downloading any.

I assume you are using at least 3.1

Thanks Barefoot.
I found out the templates I downloaded were pre-2.6, so I downloaded one that was made for 2.7.
But that doesn't show up either!
I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks!

Hi

If you are using AGS 2.7 and the template you want is for that version then it goes into the AGS ROOT Folder..  NOT any other Folder.

If you are using newer versions of AGS then it may still not work...

So, you are either trying to use an incompatable Template or have put it in the wrong Folder. Either that or the download was corrupt.

FROM THE MANUAL

Using downloaded templates

If you've downloaded a game template from the internet, you should find a file with a .AGT extension. This is the AGS Template File, and you just need to copy it into the "Templates" folder within the AGS Editor directory.
