EQ File Patcher

Nice. Nope, I was having problems getting it to even extract RAR. With your discovery, it can be easier to build the patch list.. Though, I wonder how many out there will bother using this? :P
I may have to design an EQEMU style front end for it at least. On my todo!

I got something I was working on a bit here, let me know what you think.

Ok just a followup on the the deleting of the (downloaded) .rar files. It seems the patcher is also able to delete files specified in the patchlist by putting a "*" at the end of the entry. Example:

1 FLD patch1.rar
2 FLD patch1.rar*

This will download and extract the contents of patch1.rar into the EQ patcher.exe dir, and then after is has finished, delete patch1.rar. So in sticking with your patchlist example,

1 FLD 08-08-09.rar
2 FLD 08-08-09.rar*
3 FLD 09-10-09.rar
4 FLD 09-10-09.rar*

would seem like a good way to go about patching clients and not leave the extra .rars behind.
