i expect that, if there is an option to use old resours packs with a warning where you can click yes or no, that i can click yes and use it anyway even if its old, or that there be no warning and just not let you saying "no dont do that i dont like old reasours packs"
what happened: old resours pack format nr will not apply when clicking "yes" please use anyway.
everything works fine when just changing the version number in the little text file thing. i used freshly extracted textures and file structure from pre8 runing in the pre8 version, everything worked fine with that and it would apply the textures with the right number... just fyi no worries...

Yes, the textures, in this the pre8 version, if named correctly and with the correct file path, will apply correctly, everything works fine with that. And the textures i used, and the file path i used, were from pre8.
Its in the "MCMETA-fil" file, called "pack", that has a short 'code line thing' that gives the resours pack its name within minecraft and has a number in it that tells minecraft what version its for, its if this number does not match the game version, the game will then ask if you still want to use that resourspack and if you click yes it should apply whatever it can in there, but in this version it simply refuses to apply the resours pack at all if it has the wrong version number. I used the same resours pack with the same textures, just changing that one number will change it from working to not working.
Cannot reproduce. Old resource packs work for the most part. Note some texture names did change in 1.13.
