Guide howto upgrade supermod less painfull when using conflicting mods.

[t0maz]

When the new version of your favourite supermod is released (ie. FFT or RFB) you dont have to merge all conflicting other mods again. Supermods contain many files, but with new version only few was modified according the previsious version. So we can only updated changed files and leave rest of files unchanged. If merged (with conflicting mods) by us before files have now differences we could leave them and not merge them again!

How to do that?

We must have:
1) Our modified/merged with other conflicting mods previsious version of supermod
2) Orginal unmodified by you copy of supermod previsious version
3) Orginal unmodified by you new version supermod

Uninstall your supermod by JSGME first!

Steps to take:

1) Open Winmerge (download it from internet - it is freeware)

2) Compare orginal unmodified supermods (previsious and new) main dirs with option "Include subdirs"

3) In View select to show all files except "Show Identical Items"

4) We have now cute list of modified files - select all (select first by clicking it, next select last by clicking it with SHIFT pressed)

5) Right click on selected all files and chose "Copy"->from side with new version! In my case it was left so "Copy left to..."

6) Browse to your main dir of your modified supermod and accept it

7) Check the copied files - if there was file copied that u merged before u must merge your changes or changes from conflicting mod again to this file!

Rest of files u dont have to edit/merge.
Now your modified supermod main dir is updated to new version.
Enable it again by JSGME.

Hope this help some supermods users
