Config Datablocks Templates in 1.5

I'm trying to do the advanced platformer --> change levels in 1.5 and it uses the following code:

if(!isObject(LevelEndTargetTemplate)) new t2dSceneObjectDatablock(LevelEndTargetTemplate)
{
// An instances of this class presents a target which the player must make
// physical contact with in order to switch to the next level.
class="LevelEndTargetClass";
nextLevel="baseLevel.t2d";
CollisionActiveSend = "1";
CollisionActiveReceive = "1";
CollisionCallback = "1";
CollisionPhysicsSend = "0";
CollisionPhysicsReceive = "0";
};

I put the code at the end of main.cs and nothing happens in 1.5, in 1.3 it loads the template.

If you want your datablocks to appear in the editor you have to put them in gameScripts > datablocks.cs. At least I think this answers what I guess your question to be.

Im trying to add the LevelEndTargetTemplate in to the level editor under config datablock. the above code when you add it to main.cs in tgb 1.3 shows the template, when you do the same in tgb 1.5 it wont show up...

Well as you have found out it doesn't work that way anymore, reread my last post. That is where it has to be if you want it to show up in the editor.
