1.3.0 was the latest GoW-PyPRP that importing was functional in. That version can import both AMB/POTS and MOUL ages. (though the MOUL ages need a small additional bit of code to allow importing) IMO its better to import with the GoW version because it supports multiple materials, and doesn't break the individual objects up into multiple objects for each material. But thats just my opinion.

Race you may be having a problem because of different file names. All plugin versions prior to 1.5.0 have different names that the older versions.

You best bet is to go where you intalled the 1.5.0 version and delete all files that start with "prp" if I remember correctly. Only after you do that, should you attempt to install an earlier version of the plugin. Once you've done that, you have to do what D'Lanor pointed out (I think, can't remember what version the little box used to pop up with the agreement).

Then you should be able to import okay.

Keep the following things in mind when you're importing Cyan's Ages:

You won't really see any really good ALCscripting, there will be some, but not a whole lot.
Depending on what version of the plugin you use to import, you may see emitters, and other markers as a small cube instead of the X,Y,Z arrows.
Regions and things may not be displayed correctly.

I hope this helps, because I'm one of those that agree that importing Cyan Ages can teach a new Age Writer a LOT. I know many things that I learned how to do, I did so because I was able to import Ages like Relto, Gira, Er'cana and Kemo.

Good luck!
