.24 changed my save modes

[Stache K]

When I updated to .24 I immediately went and started a new career mode and started to play through. I didn't even notice, until now, that the update had converted all of my previous saves to full-on career mode as well. Is there any way that I can go into the game files and convert these saves back to science mode? Please help

Stache K,

Yes, as a matter of fact you can convert your old saves into "Science Only." Follow the link below, and it will be one of the fixes listed in that thread. I think it's near the bottom of the list, titled "[0.24] Converting a 0.23.5 career save into a "Science Career" (no contract) save – [FIX]"

I HIGHLY recommend you copy your saves before editing them.

Thanks so much Claw, the link was very helpful.

All You Have to do is edit your save and change CAREER to SCIENCE_SANDBOX that should help

That's true, so long as you haven't exposed it to KSP already. Since KSP likes to convert save games automatically when you get to the menu screen, there's a bit more work that needs to be done if the save has already reached that point.

Fortunately both fixes are fairly easy. Just takes a little copy/pasting from the thread I linked to.

~Cheers,
