Default How to Download Files from Live Server Without Running the Patcher

~~DISCLAIMER~~
Moderators, please delete this post if you feel it is in violation of any terms or what not. I felt it is perfectly legal and fine since it does not involve any hacks, modifications to existing programs, or other malicious activities and simply uses the Live EQ patcher site directly.
~~END DISCLAIMER~~

As the title says, this will show you how to DL any missing files from the eq live server without the need for an account. This will also work if you just want to update files to live versions without running the normal EQ patcher. The best part about this approach is you only update the files you want to.

1) open a web browser of your choice

2) Insert the following line

http://patch.everquest.com:7000/patc...n/patch0/main/

3) at the end of that line add the file you want with either no additional extension or with ".gz"

4) If the file is in a folder inside your main EQ folder, make sure to add that folder after the line in step 2 before putting the file name in

5) I recommend saving the files DLed this way into a separate folder as many of them will have to be extracted before you can replace the existing file

~~NOTE~~
It seems ".txt", ".tga", and ".emt" files always have ".gz" after them

".s3d" and ".eqg" files do not seem to use ".gz"


~~EXAMPLES:~~

File without ".gz"
http://patch.everquest.com:7000/patc.../dkm_anims.eqg

File with ".gz"
http://patch.everquest.com:7000/patc...bstr_us.txt.gz

File inside a folder in main EQ folder and with ".gz"
http://patch.everquest.com:7000/patc...gitem59.tga.gz
