resurrect an old project

by Manjit Bedi · in Torque Game Builder · 06/26/2015 (1:39 pm) · 4 replies

I have an old TGB project that was built using TGB version 1.5 or something like that.

It has been some time since I looked at it. I would like to run the project again. With the TGB version 1.7.6, there are now projects file.

Any help on getting the old project working in this version of TBG would be greatly appreciated.

I will have a look through the forums for any posts on this meanwhile.

If you're moving to 1.7.6 you should be able to create a new project and then move your existing assets and levels into the new project. There may be breakage, but you should be able to spot and fix those from the console.

Going to T2D, however, is a much more complex endeavor. Practicing01 made some scripts to help bring 1.7.6 projects forward but they're not exactly complete.

Hello Richard.

Thanks for the reply.

To use the project with 1.7.6, do I copy the folders to over the to the new project folder structure?

I was trying to do that yesterday.

For example, how do I get the animations and audio assets into the project?

Try creating an new project in 1.7.6, then place your current stuff in the new project folders wherever it looks like they go. Then open the project again in 1.7.6 and import the assets using the tools.
