Bring an 0.25 Science game to 0.90

[LordFerret]

I've got quit a bit in my v0.25.0 Science_sandbox game going on, and I don't want to trash it. I've downloaded the new v0.90.0 Beta and unpacked it, and I've played with it a bit... it's going to take a little getting used to, some of the things anyway. I'd like to try to resume my v0.25.0 game in the new Beta version... is that possible? How do I go about moving it over? Thanks.

I've moved over a career save to .90 and haven't experienced any bugs yet, so I'd say it works.

To move it, you will first want to find the directory for .25 files and .90 files. One good way to do this is to find the .exe for each version (the icon with the kerbal that launches the game), and right click it.

From there click "Open file location". If you can't find the game launch icons you may have to search for them. (Also you can check places where things are usually installed, such as the programs/applications folder).

Once you find the directories, look in the .25 files for a folder called "saves". Open that, and you should find all of your save files. Copy whichever saves you want to put in .90.

Now, look in the .90 directory, and find the "saves" folder. Open that, and paste your saves.

Start up KSP .90 and you should be good to go! Let me know if you managed to do it, if you have any more questions feel free to ask me.

Ok, thanks. That sounds pretty straight-forward, unlike what was required to go from v0.23.5 to v0.24.2 ... which didn't work for me. I'll give it a whorl.
