Talking Next version of the updater

This is a list of things that need to be done to the updater for the next version. completed things are in bold. as i continue to work on more things the first post will be edited and i will update the picture when the layout/look is changed. If you have a suggestion for a feature to be added i will try and add it if it is simple enough, if not it will be added to my list of stuff to do for the final version of the updater i am writing which will come after this update. if there is something you had already asked to be added/changed for the updater and you dont see it on the list, i probably forgot about it, so please repost it. progress is slow during the week because i have school, but i do spend most of the free time i do have working on the updater (i havent even logged into eq2 for over a week).

The "list":
1. get rid of the only download pois checkbox. DONE!
2. make the window resizeable for the people who like unusual DPI displays. DONE!
3. add an option for poi icons that toggles between "simple", "detailed", and "dont update" , which would be the default ones right now, the ones from ger, and the third option would be how it is right now where it only checks if the user has the file or not. also add an option for small medium and large icons.---- decided not to do this but perhaps maybe a later version.
4. Make an overall progress bar that shows the progress for all the updates.This one wasnt going to be included in the next release as i had to almost completely re-write the current code it uses for updating, but i did it and its now....DONE!
5. File overwrite notification stuff...this one is probably going to take some time. DONE! (currently only mainhud.map)
6. Display of UI directory being patched. DONE!
7. Options window. Currently in progress. Layout is finished, all the options save/load. most of the actual options in the window still need the code for whatever they are actually supposed to do. DONE!
8. language is currently COMPLETELY functional, and the language shows up below the ui directory if it is using anything but the default language (not using language folder). DONE!
9. error handling for unhandled exceptions. DONE!
10. change eq2 directory, change autoload file buttons in the program to replace the command line way. DONE!
11. download all button that makes the updater re-download all the files even if it thinks it doesnt need to. DONE!
12. More idiot proofing, wont let the user have thier directory set to default, fonts, sounds, or images and makes sure that if eq2.ini exists that it actually has a directory set. DONE!
13. make the window resizeable for the odd DPIs. DONE!
14. ability to autolaunch two seperate programs if desired. DONE!
15. Ability to launch eq2 even if the updater fails to update re-added, however it now warns you before launching that there was an error updating when you launch it. DONE!
