Requesting help On A project

I was wandering if any of you knew any of the new files seekers installs
I'am making a no-pol, and i need to know new files for each expansion
so the no-pol client can check them files if they are located in the users
ffxi folder

for example ROM9/6/118.DAT
string check =@"ROM9/6/118.DAT";
if( file.exist(check) == false)
{
do this.
then the client can know what expansion they have installed
so it can update the account_table and set the expansion number
using PHP
and then login_server can read that information from the table
where the account ID is.
and then On the Map_server I can place checks
like if(PChar->expansion == SEEKERS)
{
do this.
}
else
{
do this instead

its really only for zoning and items and class or jobs
}
}

If you're talking about virgin installs (Clean from disc for instance), they need to then use at least one of the manual update files afterwards with the new Seekers of Adoulin disc. The way SE made it, is basically excluded the version file when you initially install, so by tossing one of those older version patches in there, the game can see FFXI again, and allows it to "Check Files".

That could make a non-POL launcher really tricky in the future.
