templates installation

[nuksies]

I've tried downloading templates but they dont come up in the new game screen on v3.0 of ags...
what folder should i put it in???
thanx

Put them in whatever folder you want.  When you open the editor it gives you the options to:

1) start a new game.
2) Continue an existing game.
3) Continue a recently edited game.

If you chose the second option (continue an existing game) a browse window will appear and you can find where you saved the template (most of my game folders are on my desktop for convenience's sake).  Simply load the ac2game file in the template's folder.  Once you've edited it once you should be able to chose it from the recently edited list.

still doesnt work because it only open '.agf' , 'ac2game.dta' , '.agf' , '.dta' files.
the template i'm using is a .agt file

Use the first option instead, you must "Start a new game" to use a template.

To answer your question, put them in the same directory the AGSEdit.exe is in. You know, together with the other three .agt files.

Since AGS3.0 will open only its own or 2.72 game files, I assume the same is true for templates. I haven't tried it though.

i ve done that too but it only comes up with Default Template, Empty Template and Verb Coin.

I ve restarted AGS but it still doesnt come up

I don't know if there's something to do with what version of AGS the template was saved in. If it's the case that V3 won't open templates made by an old version, try to open that template with V2.72 and save it as a game. You should be able to load and upgrade that "game" with V3 then. (I think)

[nuksies]

thanks it opens in v2.72
but i havent yet opened it in v3
thanks a lot though, i think youve got it

[Gilbert]

Have you tried saving it into a game in V2.72 and then reload it in V3 as I suggested?

[nuksies]

yeah, works perfect, thanx mate

Okay, I have a similar problem. I've downloaded the MI2 template...I have both AGS v3 and v2.72 but with neighter of them I can't open the template. With v3 it gives me a big list of errors when I try to open it through the AGS Wizard->Open existing game. With 2.72 it displays a simple error message - "Game not found". What shall I do?
Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I have tried with ScummVm GUI too and it doesn't work
EDIT: I have tried with Simon The Sorcerer 2 and it doesn't work
