1.8 Creative-Survival transition problems

[Fox McBanjo]

I started trying to rebuild a scale version of Ocarina of Time in Minecraft over the summer.

Unfortunately, with the switch over from 1.7 to 1.8 and the introduction of Creative, the game took my old map and said it's now Survival, making it impossible for me to continue building as I can't change the bloody setting.

I've tried searching around on Minecraft-specific forums but I get no worthwhile answers.
Anyone here got any idea how to help?

Create a new game in creative. Quit minecraft, then copy the save game folder contents of your original world, into the new save game folder you just created (make sure to overwrite/replace all files). I think that will work. Always keep a backup in case something go's wrong.
