sounds like a good idea eloa, but perhaps though there is some other way to do it where people arent re-downloading a bunch of files every time they run the updater. most likely it would be better to basically do it how the plugin system works (ie have an iclude that includes a page that doesn do anything) and then whoever designs the program would modify that file. if anyone is interested in working on a program of this sort i will be glad to give help with formulas and structure as best as i can (however i myself will not be writing it). if someone does make a program that adds them in a seperate file and they have it all working i will however add support for it doing the method i described above (unless someone has a better idea) since that way would use the least bandwidth and be the most convenient (since you wouldnt redownload all the zone files every time you run the updater). anyone have opinions on if this would be the best way to do it? or have a better way? and someone would actually have to code the program
although i can help out with some basic functions you will need (like converting location to x,y coordinates to place on the map)
