Expected behavior
i believe the engine explicitily supports all games made with 2.50 and newer

hmm, there's a .dll so it might be due to that. wasn't aware that engines that old already supported native plugin.

ags_CCS102.dll is a plugin. There's following information in the binary:

Character Control System [CCS] plugin, copyright (c) 2003 Scorpiorus

Searching AGS forums, I found there's a thread where this plugin is remade into a script module:
https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/modules-plugins-tools/module-charactercontrol-v0-84b/

The author of original plugin sais in this thread:

It's cool to see this as a script module since the CCS plugin doesn't really use any of AGS plugin API specific functions. And it infact was made as an AGS script that was eventually converted into C. But that's because I just didn't want people to mess with "installing" it by copy and pasting portions of script code around the main global script. It's cool we have the module feature, indeed.

I see there are separate downloads meant for AGS v2.7 and v.3, possibly updated for script compatibility.

I'll attach the latest module version found here just in case:

CharacterControl_085.zip

This may be remade into an open source plugin again.
