GhostOfBetaTapes:
I don't see a lot of people using interior maps, so what's the big issue?

Every single update Badspot has mode to this game, has been to improve the game. This update is no different.
Clone2:
I'm just going to copy my maps The Slopes and Bedroom to another file to keep them safe until the update is done.
Oh, and are they deleting Kitchen too?
If so, I'll just copy it too.

* Download manifest (happens on every launch)
* Download all the modified files uncompressed individually (so uncompressed + HTTP roundtrip for each file)
* Write the changed files into the cache (happens after each file is done downloading)
* Verify the files on the HDD vs the hashes in the manifest
* Write the changed files to the HDD from the cachevs
* Check version (can happen together with auth)
* Download a single compressed archive (with SFX) of all the changed files (if it's updated)
* Extract the changed files (if it's updated)
For generating the installers:
* For each file (can be automated):
* Upload to Amazon
* Check the hash
* Update the manifest appropriately
* Upload the new manifest to Amazonvs
* Copy the output files and the NSIS script to a temp directory (can be automated)
* Run NSIS
* Upload installer to Amazonand then for a vN-to-vN+1 updater:
* Remove the unchanged files from the NSIS script (can be automated)
* Run NSIS again
* Upload updater to Amazon
* Bump the version number on the auto-updater
