Can i use the media ( textures / objects / sound ) from gamegure in AppGameKit , i already got a copy of gameguru, and then release games using this media ?

Also if i purchase the GameGuru media packs can i use this in AppGameKit ?

I will convert the textures and objects myself so they work in AGK.

best regards Preben Eriksen,

Probably best to contact TGC directly in case they miss this forum post.

Hi,

Yes, you can use the media in your other game making products to make a game or app (not a game maker or asset collection of course).

And this is the conclusive answer I've been waiting to see appear in the forum for years! Many thanks!

Would be great to see GG media repackaged in an AppGameKit friendly format, with example code bundled in - I'd pay!

Thanks Rick!
Cjb have you heard of ultimate unwrap 3d pro? It's like $70 but its a life saver in converting media! Its the best tool I've ever purchased aside from agk it even converts the textures from DDS to PNG.

Thanks Rick

im way ahead , im already have functions to convert the static world to agk. specify the entitybank path in agk code and place your level in the media folder, and it will convert heightmap to a normal heightmap format , convert the ground "paint" feature to a normal splatmap , read the objects info and place them into your agk game , it has support for the current gamegure version , and the previous version so you can use old maps as well. ( i converted ALL gg media from dds to png ). Some objects dont work correctly and i converted them to .obj format. so currently i have been able to load and display 5 (at the moment) of the games that comes with gg ( and converted all i see that did not work so it work in agk ).

I might consider selling the code if anyone here would be interested ? , but then i have to clean it up some

best regards Preben Eriksen,

You should consider a tool - GG->AGK2. I'm sure people would buy it.

You should definitely consider selling giving the code out! there was an old tool, FPSC to AppGameKit which was available for a while so there is definitely a market for it.

I have GameGuru, so may even consider it!

Sell your code to TGC so they can run with it as a fully supported product?
