The switching was super simple -
1) I renamed my FirstStrike folder (the one inside of MODS) to 'FirstStrike_spare', (after I right clicked on it and hit "copy".)
2) Then I right click "paste" to put it right back , next to the newly named folder.
3) Run the autopatcher hootis thingy to mod up the FS install to the testers version.
4) Now I can test the latest version, but regular FS doesnt work.
5) When i want to play regular FS reverse the names of the two folders. Thats it.
Now keep in mind, when you reverse back, you cant call the 'FirstStrike' folder 'FirstStrike_spare' yet because theres already one named that. So call it 'FirstStrike_alt' or anything. Call it 'poontang' whatever. Once you rename the 'FirstStrike_spare' folder back to 'FirstStrike' then you can change 'poontang' (or whatever the alt name is) to 'firstStrike_spare.
It takes like 2 minutes or less to flip over.
I even made a MS-DOS batch file to do this for me so i can do the flip with one click.
If anyone wants a copy of the Batch file I will post it for you all.
Speaking of which, this should be integrated function for the future autopatch file. It would prevent people from screwing up their installs.
