Some while back Paul and I chatted in email about the possibility of adding 'shortcuts' to the replacement texture capability.

The idea is that where a texture is duplicated between levels (such as the passport or Lara), a small pointer file is used to point to the texture in another folder, rather than duplicating the data. This will help keep the downloads small, as well as reducing the amount of disk space required for a complete set of textures for the whole game.

One problem with this is that I would have to specify which levels rely on other levels -- so to play Vilcabamba, you would also have to downlooad and install the Caves first. This might be a bit confusing for some users...?

Anyway, have you thought about this anymore Paul? Is it something that would be easy to implement?

Yeah, I don't think its at all difficult. I'll try to get to looking at this soon.
