yes thats want you should do!

and offtopic: it is not a mistake to make some extra savecopys of your map

[Hfett]

Yeah backup your maps, make pr_edit again and bring then back, that is what i do

My pr_edit folder is a multisexed transvestite transgendered whore between .5, .6, .7, and .8.

I just unzip the objects folder of the new installs into PR...lawl. Doesnt do any harm as far as I know UNLESS something was taken out of an earlier build... but those things are pretty obvious if they end up missing from your map

Though I should strongly advise doing what they say and just remaking it

I had the same question myself. I was daring and copied the .8 files to the bf2/mods folder. I renamed it pr_edit2, just in case. I also had a copy of my map on the Desktop (wherein previous versions of the map are stored, in case I screw up).

I tested my map in pr_edit2 after copying the level folder to the new .8 levels folder. Worked fine, everything was intact.

I've never used anything along the lines of this pr_edit you're talking about... I have a little minimod that loads the archives from bf2 and pr I need (which change depending on what I'm doing) and I make changes in that. That way it doesn't use up stupid amounts of disk space and I don't need to screw around with anything when there's a new bf2 patch or pr release. Also packing is quicker, because I'm only dealing with a couple of files in a zip, rather than several hundred megs.

Its mainly for editing maps, because you need the objects files unzipped into folders for the editor to read. [there might be more to it, but that's my understanding heheh]

As far as the rest of the pr_edit folder[menu, levels[other than yours], videos, etc], I'm not sure how entirely needed it is for mapping, unless you also test your maps in pr_edit

Well, unzip 'em in the PR folder. If you don't change any already existing files it won't hurt a thing.

Very true, but the bulk of the filesize comes from the objects folder anyway... the stuff like the videos and menu stuff is pretty negligible.

I also just wouldnt want to risk messing something up, better to have it easily contained

My bf2 mods folder is
19.4 Gigabytes Daaaaang

[e-Gor]

My bf2 mods folder is... 6.71gb

Back when I was an active developer though... it was well over 30gb.

you mean last month? ( and every time we need your help )

[space]

Yeah - Mine mod folder is 30 gb - storage space doesn't really matter much these days though.

Just in case people haven't noticed, Rhinos posted an updated PR_EDIT.rar for v0.8 with the new object spawner templates etc :

Also another problem I had when I updated is that I lost my custom road templates, so make sure you copy those over too.
