Replace an existing model with a newer version

[Poisonleaf 80]

Hiya,

I was wondering if there was a quick and better way to replace an existing model within your map with a newer version without having to do them all manually.

Both Models are shaped in the same way and are very similar.
I was wondering if maybe renaming the newer model to the older one would work so that it would be picked up as the older one.
Only problem with that could be the scaling used if it's not 1:1

Any suggestions/Feedback?

Thanks.
Poisonleaf.

maybe just delete the model in the patch then name it that deleted model in the same patch? In theory, it shouldn't see a difference in model, since its in the same patch and same directory, same name.
