Title: Script not working
Post by: Cheshire Cat on Tue 09/02/2010 15:05:04
Hello. I'm new to ags, and i need help. I can't seem to get downloaded Templates to work. Specificly the "SimpsonTemp". Could anyone help me? The Template is in the Templates folder, but it won't show up when i start the game. I could really use some assistance.

Those templates were created for some long outdated versions of AGS; the current version detects that and doesn't display them.
If you want to mess around with them anyway (and I seriously recommend NOT doing that), you can try opening them with an older version, save that, open them with AGS 2.72, save that, then open that with 3.x.
You'll probably still get loads of error messages though (scripting underwent a big change with 2.7).

Again: might work, but not recommended, especially not for a beginner.

It should be possible to convert the template so long as "Enforce object-based scripting" and "Enforce new-style strings" (and if using 3.2, "Enforce new-style audio scripting") are all turned off.

But it would require at least AGS 2.72 and AGS 3.0+ since the project must be a 2.72 project to be converted by newer versions of AGS.
