Haha, I was gonna ask what quality you saved them as. Anyway, I'm still not sure where these images are located? Is it somewhere I have access to? Stormhold III needs updating, and I wouldn't mind taking the time to throw up some of the various default maps that aren't at the site.
My thoughts on how the auto-updater could work are as follows; taco-man is the one doing the work here so it's all his call and how he wants to do it, but this is what I was envisioning:
- Auto-updater downloads an XML listing all the current files and their MD5s (I think this is what is occuring already).
- Some files need to be flagged as download only if they don't exist. The window_*.xml files fit in this category, as will the zone connection maps after they're perfected. So the window_*.xml, image_*.xml and zones_*.xml files will only be downloaded if they don't exist on the user's computer.
- The checksum will compare all other XML files against those at the website, auto-generated and manually uploaded every time the auto-updater is used.
- DDS files will be downloaded if they don't exist.
- There will be a complete file check that will compare the checksums of the DDS files to make sure you have the newest. This will be suggested to be off (unless it happens to be ultra-fast).
- The first time the auto-updater is run (if there's no .cfg file present) automatically do a complete file check.
