Personally, I don't think it is a good idea to post any type of patcher or whatever if it actually contains client files in it. Some people have worked on patchers in the past that work on a per-server basis, but those would be for patching any custom files for each server as/when needed. That is a bit different from a patcher that actually just contains a static list of files. You might as well be distributing a zip file of client files at that point.

If you want to use SoF content, I would suggest getting the SoF client and having your players do the same.

Though, for compatibility purposes between the 2 clients, I have had an idea for a while now on how to make work-arounds for most of them. Basically, the idea would be to have a table that contains a few fields that can be set depending on what you want to convert. It would work by letting you choose Titanium alternatives to SoF Icons, Weapon Models, Races, etc. Then, when equipment packets or NPC packets are sent, it would just check if the icon, weapon model, or race was higher than Titanium's max value for that and if so, it would use the table to convert it to one compatible with Titanium.
