Difficulty installing AC?

PurpleMoustache

Hello!

I purchased Adventure Creator in a sale a while ago, I think when Unity still used numbers rather than years. Getting it up and running was simple... now seemingly not so.

After a year post grad of applying for and not getting game jobs I've decided to dip back into making some small games to pad my portfolio and figured getting back into AC would be a great way to make some small adventures.

Using the new Unity Hub, I installed Unity 2018.1.2f1, and tried importing AC. I then get an error about outdated APIs, and then when the project finally loads I have about 4 error messages about Interactive Cloth and other things.

I try a new project this time using the Asset Store instead of importing from the project creator. Same issue.

Then I think that maybe 2018 might be screwy, so I downloaded 2017.4.5f1 LTS... same issue. Every time, when the package should prompt me about creating the layers and inputs, I get this same outdated API error, and either option refuses to let me go forward. 

Is there a way to end this nightmare? Is it because I'm using the Hub? Am I somehow using an older version of AC?

Welcome to the community, @PurpleMoustache.

Certainly you shouldn't be facing such problems - and I don't believe the Hub should be a factor in it.

That you get errors about outdated APIs, with specific mentions to InteractiveCloth, suggests you've imported an older version of AC.  AC should make sure to not make any reference to InteractiveCloth unless you're using Unity 4 - which makes me wonder if you're instead importing the version you obtained when purchasing a year ago.

You can confirm this by opening the Manual.pdf file included in the root /Assets/AdventureCreator directory and looking at the version number on the front page.  Does it show the current release, v1.63.2?

If so, please copy/paste the exact error messages from the Console here so we can analyse them.  If not, try going to your Download Manager in the Asset Store window and click "Upgrade" before "Import" to make sure that you're grabbing the latest release.

I couldn't find the Download Manager window, but heading to the store page for Adventure Creator inside the Asset Store within Unity had an update button which fixed my problem! Thanks!
