Hi,

Been searching for hours, can someone point me in the right direction for converting from 1.0 to 3.0 beta, having serious issues saying the project is not supported by this installtion

If anyone can suggest anything i would be greatful

Thanks

Game Studio 3.0 Beta will only upgrade Game Studio 2.0 projects. Game Studio 1.0 projects have to be upgraded manually.

The following steps may help.

1. Create a new game project in XNA Game Studio 3.0 beta, and delete the code files.
2. Right-click on the new project and choose "Add -> Existing Item...".
3. Browse to the old project directory and select all the code files (.cs). This will copy the old files into the new project. If you have folders, add new folders to the new project first, then right-click and add files to the folder node.
4. Right-click on the "Content" node under the new project, and choose "Add -> Existing Item...".
5. Browse to the old project directory and select all the content files (.x, .jpg, etc). This will copy the old files into the new project. Note that doing this will place all the build content into a subdirectory called "Content". You should modify your loading code accordingly. The RootDirectory property on ContentManager will make this easy.
6. If you had additional references for the Content Pipeline, you now add those to the Content\References node under your new project. The Content node is actually a nested project, which only builds content with the Content Pipeline. This was introduced in Game Studio 2.0.
7. You'll need to fix up the code to match the API changes from 1.0 to 3.0. The biggest changes occurred between 1.0 and 2.0. Look in the 2.0 documentation online for a guide on upgrading, since most of that will still apply.
8. You may need to fix up the Content Pipeline properties, as a few things have changed since 1.0.

A manual upgrade will typically take less than an hour.

Hi everyone,

Thanks for the information and help, i looked at the converter from 1.0 to 2.0 and noted i needed game studio 2.0 installed and vs 2005 so i will just update it manually. Big thanks to Stephen for posting the information on upgrading manually

Thanks
