Importing Template from previous version

surly manservant · 04-01-2020, 06:08 PM

Is it possible to import a template from a previous version? I play a highly customised game, and I created a template in OOTP20 which is exactly how I like t start it, otherwise it's hours of set up. Is there a way to take that template from OOTP 20 and import it into OOTP 21?

I don't believe you can directly import it but...

Granted I don't know a ton about templates but maybe this'll do the job? Are quickstarts the same as templates?

In v20 create a game from the quickstart/template, import that game into v21 and then create a quickstart/template from the game?

Yep you can safely import previous templates. Done this many times.

How do you actually import the template? Just copy everything in the template file and paste across?

Thanks to all, I did as byzeil suggested, started a game in ootp 20 based off the template, imported the game into ootp21, saved that game as a template, good to go. Thanks again for your help.

Yeah basically. Every year I copy over the following folders. Ballcaps, ballparks, fg_files, jerseys, logos, photos, and then I'll take any world templates and copy them into the latest version.
