Summary0004998: tdm_packager does not handle same-named members of pk4 properly
DescriptionThe original discussion here:
  http://forums.thedarkmod.com/topic/19885-two-tdm-custom-scriptsscript-in-differential-package/

If file of same name changes in two different pk4 files, then the update package would have two equally-named files. No idea whether this works properly or not.
Steps To ReproduceRun tdm_packager with following arguments:
  --create-update-package
  --basedir=F:\thedarkmod_releases\release206 --baseversion=2.06
  --headdir=F:\thedarkmod_releases\release207 --headversion=2.07
  --outputdir=C:\TheDarkMod\darkmod_temp

You have to tweak path for your setup.
The basedir/headdir must contain full packaged releases of 2.06 and 2.07 respectively. You can download them from the following URLs:
  thedarkmod.blob.core.windows.net/release206/ + {filename}
  thedarkmod.blob.core.windows.net/release207/ + {filename}
Note that you have to get list of files somewhere.

As the result, the file C:\TheDarkMod\darkmod_temp\tdm_update_2.06_to_2.07.zip will contain two instances of \script\tdm_custom_scripts.script.
TagsNo tags attached.

I suggest ignoring the problem for now.
If the new tdm_update algorithm does not work out, return to it and fix the current packager.

Duplicating here:

When I diff-updated from 2.06 to 2.07, both files newjob.pk4 and tdm_base01.pk4 were redownloaded freshly after differential update.

It seems that updater checks CRC after differential update and if pk4 is different, it is fully downloaded.

So this weird thing should have no negative effect on users.
