Can't get my model out of wireframe mode in blender 2.59 after saved the blender file in newer version (blender 2.79) I'm new to Blender and this site, so I apologize in advance if I'm not following any of the proper etiquette. I'm no artist, but I'm trying to learn Blender so that I can mod a skin to GTA:SA.

I need older version of blender to make my downloaded dff import/export add-on compatible, but I need newer version of blender too to be able to transfer weights between 2 objects.

The problem is even though the Object->Display->Maximum Draw is set to Textured in 2.79, there's no Maximum Draw dropdown in 2.59, and so the object is set to Wire with no way to change it in 2.59.

How can I solve this problem?

Blender 2.79:


Blender 2.59:
Maybe open the 2.59 .blend first in 2.60, then in 2.61, then in 2.62... and so on and save each time. You may skip a few if you're lucky :) (oh, in your case it might be the other way around, from 2.79 to 2.7 to 2.6... or like that, which may or may not work - but worth a try)

Here are the releases
