auto updating the mod #177

So, ToR does an amazing thing that makes life for their users much easier.

Please note a requirement that would likely need doing is to add the DLL as a standalone download, as the ToR updater uses this, i was thinking about just extracting it from the zip, but i dont see the point in excess work (ie, going into the zip to extract it every time)

ToR allow you to install the mod once, and auto update to newer versions. I would like to embelish on this update procedure, i already have it working for TOU as is done by ToR, but i feel this is a bit sloppy and can be improved.

the update procedure i wish to put in place will be as follows

1:- the list of updates which are valid, will be decided by the person writing the update, this list is currently generated within the code i have written, but it is better to probably come from an external source so that it can be applied to all versions.. and if a list is not found, then auto updating would not be possible. (perhaps its a file that could be auto downloaded to the appdata folder when you load the game? i d k

2:- users would not be able to auto update from one among us version to another among us version, because frankly, you need to update the game anyway... so basically updates would be limited to the version of among us you are on.. at which point, if you want to update further, it will tell you to install a newer version on a newer version of among us automatically.. ToR currently just updates even if the version changes, which i would assume leads to some users going "wtf, broken mod/game"??

3:- i also planned that people can switch between versions easily... for example.. your group updates to 2.9.0, finds a bug... .. wants to revert to 2.8.0.. why re-install? use the auto update feature to allow them to downgrade.. once again.. downgrade within the current among us version.. which is why the list in point number 1 is so important, this would catalog among us versions vs TOU versions... i currently do not have this part working.

please feel free to add more suggestions.
