Renaming a pwf?

[Makki]

Say I have a map which I have already created and waypointed but for whatever reason I recompile the map using a new name. Is there anyway for me to just use the old pwf file? I know that simply renaming it doesn't seem to work.

Is there any method to do this, or am I forced to redo the waypoints?

Thanks for any tips.

The renaming is enough, maybe you do something wrong, check if you can see the files extentions from the folder options.

I've come across this problem before. I was wondering if podbot mm could load a waypoint and then save it as the new map name. But I don't know how to get around this.

I used to have a map called "de_Congo" and waypoints called "de_Congo",
but when I renamed both into "de_congo" ( without capital letter ) it didn't seem to work.

No I haven't changed any file extensions.

You may need also open the pwf by any hexeditor (like UltraEdit) and find the string "de_Congo" andchnage it to "de_congo" then save the file. Note - if Your map file has really the name like de_Congo.bsp, that change may cause the pwf will not be loaded.
