Standardize patching archives to easily replace things in .NOS files

[BlowaXD]

Hi,

As we discussed earlier, I think we should provide some kind of standardized way to have "patching archives"

Those patching archives should be available for :

• Images/Sprites
• .dat files
• whatever that is related to client files

I think we should have a designed tool to :

• Facilitate patching archive generation
• Facilitate patching archive application

Here is the "directory structure" I already thought about :

./
  - manifest.json
  - {nostaleFileName}
    - randomFileName.fileExtension
    - randomFileName.fileExtension
    - randomFileName.fileExtension

We will have to clarify how the manifest.json should be architectured as well

{
   "author": "",
   "project-name": "wings-blabla",
   "version": "1.0.0",
   "files": [
     {
       // todo,  i'm looking for the different use cases we could have for different files
     }
   ]
}
