Hi!

I have a strange Problem. I made a game with AGS 2.72 in 2006. The last change I made was in June 2008. With every developement step I saved the complete set of files into a zip archive so that I should be able to reconstruct nearly every stage of development.

Now I want to make another change. So I unpacked the latest archive into an empty folder, fired up AGS 2.72 and loaded the game into the editor. The complete list of rooms appears here, but when I select one room, I got a black room window with nothing in it. No objects, no hotspots, nothing! When I open the room files with an ordinary text editor, there is everything in it. I can read the names of the hotspots and so on. So I tried to unpack an earlier archive, and another one. But the result remains the same. I even tried to open the game with AGS 2.71. And I did it on two different machines.

Only if I open it with an AGS 3.x version the rooms and all their contents are there. But unfortunately the conversion brings a lot of script errors because variables seem to be handled different to former versions and the conversion doesn't manage that issue properly.

Does anybody know, what is going on or what I am doing wrong when loading the game into the editor?
coming soon (or later, sorry!)

Oh sooooorrrrryyyy, I am so stupid sometimes!!!  :P

Ich didn't recognize (or did I forget?) that I have to doubleclick on the rooms. I always tried to open them with a single click. Too silly!! Please forgive me!   ::)

...but I was quite shocked 'though!
coming soon (or later, sorry!)
