Grabbing from older graphics packs bug

Yeah, that always happens when you try to import tiles, palettes, combo tables, graphics packs, and such for lower versions to higher versions.😞

Wait, are we talking about grabbing tiles from older .zgp or importing them, Because i've had issues with both. For example UFF zgp, demo pal and til, others....can't recall atm...hmm

Well grabbing from them loads the previous quest file you were ripping tiles from.

Trying to import them gives you an error(last I checked)

Oh, yes. I too have gotten both.

Also the above mentioned were the importing thing. And i see Master_of_Power has the other taken care of. Lemme know if you need more.

Unfortunately I don't have access to the pre-2.10 source code, so I can't see how these old graphics packs are suppose to be loaded.

DN?

It won't work. It never will. The old graphics packs were practically build-specific. There were no markers in the graphics pack file to indicate how it should be loaded, so ZQ always tried to load all graphics packs the same way. The only way to import them into the new ZQ is to load them in their original version, save them as a quest, then load them in ZQ. Not a bug, per se, but a design limitation.
