Curiously, is it possible to have the client download an updated .mpq, and reload it in realtime like what you did for your item reloading module?

You can let the client patch like it did back in the days (after login you get smth like downloaded xx%), but u have to restart it and let it patch etc

Or use a custom launcher (probably easier to do and allows u to add more stuff u want)
