I've just done my third modification to my player file (just people wanting some different things done to it). I was looking for a way to add the different zip files to my main one instead of creating a new upload.

It looks like this can be done through addons or patches, but I couldn't see where I could this to my own files without replacing the original.

Can this be done or should I just keep uploading and changing the titles?

What I plan on doing when I change my buff window is to make a patch called something like buff 25 archive, put my current buff window there, and upload the new buff window into the place the other file was.

The only reason I will do it with the buffs though is that the appearance will change radically, so I will leave the old file out there for those who still want to use it.

For stuff like my player window, I just overwrite the old zip because the looks are similar.

What I do is create a sub-directory within the zip for optional extras. For my main UI, the structure is something like this:

/myx_ui
main folder, contains UI files
../options
..Optional extras subfolder, contains a text file describing the various options and how to install them. Will be a .html file in the next version so I can include screenshots.
..../hotbuttons
....options folder for the hotbuttons, contains screenshots of each option and subfolders containing the relevant files
....../hb1 - mana gauges
....../hb2 - endurance gauges
....../hb3 - mana + endurance gauges
..../potionbelt
....options folder for the various potions belts, again with screenshots
....../2 slot potion belt
....../3 slot potion belt
....../4 slot potion belt
....../5 slot potion belt

I'm using subfolders since it removes the need for people to rename files, all they have to do is copy files from the relevant option to the main UI folder.
