    I have been gone from the game for a long time, When I played before I had alot of BPs that were converted from something else, ie CV's that were once Bases, SV's that were once HV's. I had to reinstall steam to fix an error last month, I didn't know that it would delete all the old folders as it had never done it in the past unless I told it to uninstall it first, so I lost all my Local Blueprints.

    When I played before you simply copied the area and data files from one blueprint to the other and it converted the BP from one type to another, but now all the blueprints are .epb files, does anyone know how to convert HV's and Bases to SV's and CV's under the new system?

    Thanks.

    cool that they added a command for it, but it doesn't seem to work for me.

    prefabinfo 'T1'
    gives the Info of the HV i'm trying to convert

    prefabinfo 'T1' -convertSV
    this returns an error "no prefab found"

    This is a fresh install of the game, I place the workshop HV I want to convert, Save it as a new BP with a new name and attempt to use the above command and I get the above error. Any other way to convert it?

    Thanks.

    That is the command, I know it works because I use it myself now and then. Add a space between the -convert and SV

    Tried that, tried putting the bp name in " " and in ' ', I tried copying the name from the folder in the save directory, tried renaming it to just "a" tried using a different bp all together. each time I use the command I get "no prefab found"

    there is a space needed between convert and the item like HV/SV/CV, that is why you have problems.
