I downloaded Araxis Merge, and it looks good.

What about the template changes? Is there a way to upgrade the templates manually without losing the changes?

Thanks for the advice.

Templates, as they're upgraded via upgradeXX.php which reads vbulletin.style, are much more complex to analyze 'off-line'.
Great help could give the TBS hack from FireFly, which stores templates as html files you can download before and after the upgrade.
This way, just like the php code, you can manage the differences and restore all the hacked upgrades you loose.
Anyway, all the custom templates aren't overwritten by the upgrade script. Let's say, all those templates you have modified by their interface (those who have the '[revert to original]' button) aren't overwritten.
Only those created new by hack installation scripts and never modified will be deleted.

The problem this way still remains is you'll lack each new template upgrading what you modified. They should be managed by the above TBS+compare procedure.

Bye

Araxis Merge works great! It is actually faster than manually installing an upgrade hack, just so you guys know. But by all means use the upgrade hack that Jawelin is providing.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
