You'll find'em in the file section. You can run buildcrc in a directory and it will produce a list of files (including subdirectories) with a CRC-32 value for each. Then you can simply place patchinfo.dat on a webserver, and use the HTTP patcher to automatically download changed or missing files. Dunno if it's usefull, but it was fun doing it :) Regards Ozak

Ive made many engines like this, and they are great as long as building the CRC lists and uploading the updates are easy to do (its painful having to upload a ton of files...)

It's not that hard. Just make an FTP based app, that only uploads changed files :)
