I have made some skins for CS2D and dont want them to go away... So I was wondering if an update will erase them. Thanks |-(|:^)

No.
It just overwrites existing files if you run the executable.

If you download the ZIP and just replace the old with the updated (from ZIP) binary you should be fine.

for the update from 0.1.1.6 to 0.1.1.7 it should already be enough to replace the exe file and keep all the other files untouched.

just replacing the exe file erased your skins? thats 100% impossible.

I think you got it wrong and used the installer. that's not what I talked about. I talked about REPLACING the CounterStrike2D.exe file ONLY (download the zip archive, extracting the exe file only and copying it to your existing cs2d folder)

sorry if you got that wrong and lost your skin stuff

Even the installer shouldnt overwrite the SKINS.
As long as he didnt overwrite the original ones.
Or did I get it wrong now?

it needs to overwrite (most) original files for the case that I changed them. otherwise if I would update the original skins nobody would see them because the installer doesn't overwrite the old ones. that would be stupid as well.

additional files added to the folder stay untouched of course. settings and Lua scripts stay untouched as well.

so people who use custom skins/sounds should either make a backup or they have to use the zip version to only overwrite the files they want to be changed.

Well, I did dynamic overwriting by just replacing everything then I copy&paste all files from previous version except the executable of course. Everything works fine and I got maps, graphics, sounds from previous version. It takes time to overwrite things, I don't wanna make mistakes since they happen easiely.

That's my solution to this.
