Question: Will we need to uninstall all maps for 3.9

[CDU Munga]

When 3.9 is released will we need to replace all maps we used for 3.8?

[ManX]

Most if not all the maps will be compatable with 3.9,there maybe some you may have to re-download and also maybe a new map or 2  in any case a map pack will be released!

[Smagma Dactyl]

Some maps will have to be re-dl'd due to some NEW content we added.

[SkyRaider]

When time comes to upgrade just cut and paste your NAW folder to desktop then rename it anything you want too . Then install the new 3.9 and maps if you need any of the old maps just copy them to your new levels folder in 3.9.

UN-install old mod naw 3.8.
this will leave your current maps in levels folder.
install mod 3.9 (members only version has no maps)
(public version will have map pack 4 included)
install map packs 1,2,3 and 4(see above)

this will be explained better when everything is packaged
Finlay OK guys.

your done.

Map Pack 1 is unchanged from 3.8 and compatible with 3.9... There is no Map Pack 4, all Map Packs have been distributed in 3 Packs.

That's a lot of maps   So would it be best to uninstall all of my 3.8 maps and then install each map pack, or just overwrite whatever is the same file.

Can't wait to try out the new stuff.  Thanks.

I would uninstall all your old stuff....the mod & map installers  place uninstall paths to your add/remove list as well as your start>all programs> NAW Mod folder.

It's gonna look messy if you don't uninstall them first.
