Title: Importing an old game to AGS 3
Post by: RetroJay on Fri 28/03/2008 20:08:32
Hi good peeps of AGS.
Last night I had a merry old time installing AGS 3 on to my comp.
WOW doesn't it look nice!!

Now the game I have been working on (with my other comp using AGS 2.72) I imported into 3.0.
A message informed me that it was an old game and would back up my game files and place them into My Documents.
GREAT!
I sorted out some bugs in my game that the debugger found and saved my game.
When I looked in My Documents I was confussed cos I have a folder labled with the title of my game but it's empty!!
The old folder I have of my game in My Docs has the backup folder and all my, I assume, new files in it.
When I click on the backup folder I find it has, I assume again, my original game files.
The thing is why have I got a new empty folder of my game and why has everything been put into my old game folder.
I've obviously done something wrong......Maybe. 

Any help would be....well....very helpfull. ;D

It's most likely the savegame folder for your game. It seems that since 3.0, Game.SetSaveGameDirectory is set to "$MYDOCS$/folder name"  by default. The name of the folder can be changed from the General Settings screen (under Saved Games).

Try and import it to 2.72 then save the game and import it at ags 3.0
Works.

Thanks.
I will try one suggestion.
If that doesn't work then I'll try the other.
probably not tonight now. I really must try to get some sleep.

Anyway thanks for your prompt replies.

Hey GarageGothic.
Yeah you were right it is the save game folder.
Sorry I was getting horribly confused the other night.
What didn't help was the other folders I have been creating for my game graphics etc.
All was rather untidy. ::)
But now everything is beautifully tidy and I now know where everything is and what its there for.
Thanks for your help.
