AGS 3.0 game import failure.

[Feelthedarkness]

Hello, first post, first woe. Woo.

I started a game in 2.72, and had a functional demo. 10 rooms, no fancy scripting, as my programming knowledge would fill a thimble.

When I try to import the old game into 3.0 I get this message immediately, and it returns to the new/load/import menu.

I saw another post had a similar "item with the same key" error, but his problem was with a translation?

I can't find anything in the manual, forum, or BFAQ about importing old games. Or at least my searches haven't turned up any useful advice.

Thank you.

Looks like somehow AGS thinks you've got two room files with the same name.

Can you have a look at your game folder in explorer, and see if there are any potentially duplicated file names, such as "room1.crm" and "room1.bak.crm" or something. If there are, try getting rid of the "wrong" one and see if that helps -- and please let me know what they were called, so that I can fix the problem in the next version of AGS.

Eureka.

I had a mis-saved version of a room named room01.crm as well as the real one room1.crm.

When I deleted room01.crm it imported smoothly.

Thanks much. Now, no matter how this turns out I can feel as though I have contributed something to world of game making. Har har.

Hehe, "room01.crm", I didn't think of that. Glad you've sorted it out, and I'll fix that in the next version
