Cool thanks for the help with hosting. When you have a homepage with space for the file. I will update the script and tar.bz2 to the latest versions. Do some testing and finally upload it to your site. Thanks again!!!

Are the binaries in the archive for 32bit only? If so, please make an archive for 64bit users. You'd have to find a 64bit machine to get the game to run and download all updates I think.

currently there is only a 64 bit version because that is the future of computing and what I use. I will include a 32 bit version in the future. I am unsure how I want to implement this though. Either two separate installers or a architecture check. The later would be more work however would make the installer better overall.

I think it depends on the files that need changing. I bet it's only a couple of binaries, but you never know

You'd have to get all the files from a 32 bit machine and compare hashes from all the files to see which ones are different. If it's only a few, then imo it should be one installer, so I can use it on my pc and then take it to some friend and use it there. If it is a lot of files though, then the installer would probably grow a lot in size, so it wouldn't be practical anymore

let me give you a coding tip, when you're doing changes ask yourself this "what would be easiest for the user" in this case I think it'll be easiest with an architecture check.
oh and btw, update the changelog and such in the first post
