Hey all! My apologies if this topic is covered elsewhere--I looked through the help file, ran a few searches on these forums and even googled the problem and couldn't find the solution, but if I missed something obvious than I apologize.
It's been years since I used AGS, and learning version 3.3 is almost like learning a whole new program. I notice that I can now conveniently create a room template from a right-click menu on the room in the explorer. This opens up a wizard which just asks for a template name. Unfortunately, no matter what name I type, I get an error message: "There was an error creating your template: ERROR: unable to open file for writing". Anyone have any idea why I'm getting this? I'm hoping this is some easy-to-solve bug that my longtime absence from using AGS has made me ignorant of.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can answer my question!
This is probably because you installed AGS at C:/Program Files.
Unfortunately, there are still some problems left in AGS that conflict with Windows Vista/Seven/8 security policies.
Either install AGS on other disk (e.g. D), or run AGS as administrator.
We will fix the remaining problems in next release.
Thanks for the help! I set the program to run as administrator, and that seems to have fixed the problem.
