I was thinking... the patch program could just save off the current files somewhere on the player's computer the first time it is run. Then if EQ is changed, it pulls them back from the saved area and restores to the original state.
This would eliminate warez, since the player would have to have the files originally and it would only move them from the player's own backup area. |
This is a pretty simple idea - I've even done it a couple of times for a couple of different reasons.
First make a copy of the EQ files in you EQEmu directory, we'll call this the EQEMU backup directory.
Next, patch to live and copy all the new files to the EQEmu directory, of course dont bother copying files that are the same size and date.
Finally copy the files from EQEmu backup directory back to youe EQEmu directory. Again don't bother with identical files.
Your mostly patched to EQLive, and have updated just what is needed and still able to log on.
