I've been debating this.
Whenever we add a new zone users will need to download a new map DDS and eq2ui_mainhud_map.xml, so I think having them NOT auto-update is best (if eq2ui_mainhud_map.xml auto-updated and they were missing the new DDS files when they entered the zone, it'd be a big ugly solid color block where the map should be).
What about this: If I add an entry to the eq2ui_mainhud_map.xml file that's a "version number" (just a plain number, incremented by 1 each time we update the file, with an upper limit of like 1000000) could we have the auto-updater check the eq2ui_mainhud_map.xml for this version number, then compare it to version number saved somewhere at maps.eq2interface.com and if they don't match, send them to a download page?
