Title: templates not showing when creating game ??[SOLVED]
Post by: geldrith on Mon 28/01/2008 20:28:08

I have downloaded a couple of templates to use in my game however they do not show up in the game template selector when creating a new game. They have the .agt extension and when viewed in hex editor they appear to be okay.
I'm Using AGS v3.0.0.2 and the templates are

ODIS.agt from Stryker,downloaded from http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk
Simpson.agt
Text parser V2.agt
Monkey Island.agt

What am I doing wrong, I checked and they apparently work fine in AGS V2.7 and above..Please Help Me :'(

I'm not entirely sure, but what I believe you have to do is download AGS 2.72, start a new game using the template with this version. Then save the game and import it into AGS 3.0.

Yes, AGS 3.0 only supports templates created with 2.72 and 3.0. Hopefully people will upgrade their templates to be compatible.

The workaround is as Pablo suggests, to create the game with 2.72 and then import it into 3.0.
