The parts folder in 0.20

[rryy]

Now that all parts are saved somewhere else, what do I do with the old part folder. It still seems to have some parts but not others, and I don't know if it tries to load these parts or not. Would it be safe to delete it and everything, or do I still have to keep it?

Edit: Here is all that is in the old parts folder. I checked and all of the part files appear to be empty.

I believe the new part folder is for mod parts so as to separate them out somewhat.

Edit: Its so that older parts from mods can still be used due to the new config files

It's for all parts eventually, the old folders are still here for compatibility so modders have time to adapt

I just updated to v2.0 and of course now some mods don't work. shouldn't have pressed that button! anyone know how to revert back to .19?

Well, did you keep a backup of the game? If not, I suggest waiting until the mods get updated or .20.1 comes. The same thing happens for the Quantum fuel transfer node, and I had to delete it in order to even load the game.

Yeah in my excitement I kind of posted similar threads in two different locations. I asked in the probably more relevant addon support subforum and got a response for the .19 mods previous from Harv and sal in the link

Hey all, a little help with .20? I backed up my entire .19 folder so I think I can recover, but .2 does some strange things with parts. I know there is a new part file structure, but parts that are in the folder tree, don't show up in game. For example, I don't have any aero or science parts at all, and no mainsail engine under propulsion. I do have mods, and those folders are in the .2 folder scheme, but I can't load any saved ship, not even the "stock" ships that I haven't touched. Do I need to copy parts from my backup over to the new file structure manually? Any help at all will be appreciated. Thanks
