Q: Porting from < 1.4 to current

by baylor wetzel · in Torque Game Builder · 10/21/2008 (5:20 pm) · 1 replies

Long, long ago, i had a bunch of TGB games and the new version of TGB (i think 1.4) wouldn't load them. Since then i'm guessing something has been created to either automatically port old games or a tutorial for doing it manually has been written. But i can't find it and worse, i can't find a button to just search for forums. i tried the global GG search for "migrate" and didn't find any relevant hits. Maybe i'm using the wrong key words?

Can anyone point me to something to help me port an old game of mine?

There is no conversion tool I am afraid, you'll have to just try your luck ;)

Most of the code shouldn't have changed, but you wouldn't be taking advantage of behaviors which were introduced in 1.5.

I recon that the best way of converting would be to open 1.7.4, create a new project and then drag the "game" folder from your old game into the new project folder and go from there.
