Ok, so you have customized some files and decided the original ones are the best or you need the original for something you want to use yourself. Well, ill show you a quick and easy way to back up your models and EVERYTHING in your ns folder so you dont make a mess and hate yourself forever.
RECOMMENDED AFTER A CLEAN INSTALL OF NATURAL SELECTION
1) <span style='color:red'>Download QPed </span>from <a href='http://www.planetquake.com/qped/' target='_blank'>here</a>
2) After install (and maybe <span style='font-family:Geneva'><span style='color:red'><b>restart</b></span></span>) goto your nsp directory and rightclick and <span style='color:red'>make a qped document</span>
3) <span style='color:red'>Rename</span> to pak0
4) <span style='color:red'>Open</span> the new document
5) <span style='color:red'>Rightclick</span> on the folder that says<span style='color:red'> Root</span> and click <span style='color:red'>Create Directory</span>
6) <span style='color:red'>Rightclick</span> on the folder that says <span style='color:red'>untitled (the new directory)</span> and <span style='color:red'>rename to models</span>
7) <span style='color:red'>Click</span> on the dropdown tab that says <span style='color:red'>Objects</span> then <span style='color:red'>select Import from directory</span>
8) Find your nsp/models folder, select the folder and click OK
9) SAVE
10) (Optional) Repeat for any other folder (sprites, sounds, yada yada, but with diffrent folder names)
Now you can delete any of the model files and they will still run, and even replace them but you must do it ONLY TO THE ONES IN YOUR FOLDERS NOT THE ONES IN THE PAK FILE. This means you can delete any customized file you dont like and it will return the one that you saved to the pak file
