Default

here is my plan:
at first it will be run in your custom ui folder (where you want the xml files)

eventually i was hoping to have it run in your eq2 directory and make it read your eq2.ini file and just put the files into whatever directory the eq2.ini file is set up to, and if eq2.ini doesnt exist create it and make a folder for the custom ui directory in the eq2.ini file that it made. depending on how hard this is and how important people think this is will determine when i do this, if i do this.

the way it works is it goes to the webserver, downloads an xml file with all the file names of the maps and their md5 checksums, and then generates md5 checksums for all the files in your custom ui folder that you have that are in the file list. if the checksums dont match or the file does not exist, it downloads that file. It sounds simple but it took me a long time because i dont have much experience with vb .net.
