Copy your maps' cfg, art.cfg and your .ogz files
They are located at packages\base folder
simply copy them to the the same folder in 2.4

If you have added any new content like models/textures you will need to move those also to the appropriate folders too.
Plus don't forget your map loading picture if you made one.

I'm not offically tech support but that is how I did it...

2.4.0 and newer will store all the user's data inside a directory labeled my_stuff on windows, in the future, just copy this over to a new sandbox installation to use...
Linux users can locate the game data inside ~/.platinumarts (unlike the windows counterparts, there's no need to copy anything).

just keep it in mind for the future ;)

PS
in most cases you should be able to merge the directories and overwrite the older files
This is not a url, clicking it is pointless
