Important Files installed with Graal

I think The setup.exe file should install common files like graal kindoms stuff like the ganis and gfx, or anything associated with the introduction of the game.

I reinstalled graal and went on there and started my character. Stuff was downloading all over the place and it was very confusing. The ship that you start near wasnt even there. People were talking, but their bodies werent there.

Im not sure if any of the classic ganis are installed with the client, but those would be a good idea too. Maybe some common Zone files like their intro GFX.

Currently, all graphics/ganis that are not in your folder, automatically download when you go on a level on a server that has them.

But, I suppose this would be a good idea, but it would definitely increase the file size.

Make it an optional package.

What file size? setup.exe doesn't include the actual game files.

Staff could possible impliment a "Package" to be installed and downloaded for all the current graphics on specific servers. While installing these packages could be optional and install the files that would be downloaded automattically. Even these packages could have version numbers.

No, but when you execute the file it leads to the page that allows you to select what you want to download.

Yeah, but you're not downloading a file. You're downloading raw data.

It would be a good idea I think, like with the Zone sound package. However, I think it would be best to download the actual files individually, or something that checks what you do and don't have so you (a) dont re-download files you have, and (b) If your on dial-up you can download as much as you can, and if you get a connection reset then you can just continue where you started from.
