    I was wondering if I could update a fairly old mod source for the newer powder toy version? While keeping the mods.

    EDIT
    So noone has any ideas? I think its like version 40 something lol.

    Use Git/Github, that's how everyone does it.

    see! Everyone here either states the obvious or give me some un useful comment.
    I want to update a OLD version to a NEW version wich takes alot of scripting and other bs because 40 and whatever virsion there is now is alot different.

    If it's that old, it would probably be best to take a clean source from github and add the features, elements, whatever to that.

    What Simon says is the only way to do it, and it's only going to get harder to update the source as more things are changed, so you should do it now. Just start by adding in the elements, and then anything else, it isn't that hard.
    And what is c scripting, do you just mean coding in c?

    there's alot about computers and so on codes on pc's are like 0101 etc.,so many codes have changed from hacking to anti-virus,spam,spyware,and more and so it is hard to do it

    It's because the obvious IS the answer! Don't search more, Git is the easiest way of all.

    With the source, you code things in C, a pretty low leveled programming language, so I assume that you must be able to set up Git

    Lol No, There was not answer. Because I do not know how to go in and add new version elements to such an old version because the files are so different.
