Updating FFED3D
Hey guys,
I have checked the FAQ's and searched old threads, but am trying to find out the recommended way to update FFED3D (from the Nov 09 release to Mar 10), to preserve settings, mods, etc.
Is it best to just unzip the new version over the existing folder, or extract the new folder then copy certain files/folders out of the old one?
cheers
Dan

Best just to extract it to a new folder then copy your save games to it.
That's the safest way as Spacegamer pointed out. The best way to get the the actual package that I know of, is to get it (with all the add-ons already installed) is from Space Sim Central as this package is updated as new things come out for it. It comes in one download or in 4 smaller bits. http://www.spacesimcentral.com/downloads.php?cat=37
Use 7zip to extract it, here is a link for that too http://download7zip.info/?refid=3

Potsmoke has been busy working on the very problem. Have a look at these posts http://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=1649

Thanks both for the replies. I already use 7zip, great little app
I extracted the new version, then copied over the savegame (Commandr) folder, and also jjffe.cfg , and all seems well. The only thing I had to do was reactivate the mods I use.
Out of interest, does this latest version include the prettier looking planets that I saw in a thread here several months ago?
thanks

Look behind you when you exit hyperspace.

I believe that was something one of the guys was working on along with a new sky box background.
I always had the feeling that they had a more advanced version of the game but it was never released to any one out side of the core group working on the game.
Yep, good spot. Changing "Ariel" will just rename one of Uranus's moons
I'm gonna edit the original post. Not because I messed up, but for people who might not see your subsequent correction.

That's what too much Frontier does to you.
Too much Frontier? That's like saying "too much beer", or "too much sex"That's what too much Frontier does to you.
I think I have to agree.Too much Frontier? That's like saying "too much beer", or "too much sex"
