Patch Server Protocol

Connectiong to the patch server and issuing requests mst follow a specific order. First it connectes to compassion.owo.com:8888 (this can be changed in vercfg file). Then send a HelloRequest. The server will respond with a PatchServerTransfer. Disconnect from compassion and connectto the IP address and port returned to you. You will then send a HelloRequest to the new server, it will return a NoticeBlock. Now once you've connectd to the patch server and gotten the notice, you may start looking for patches. First, send a PatchListRequest for the first one, read in the PatchListData, then send the request for the second verson, and read in that data. Once you have a list of avaliable patches, you can request the actual patch by sending a PatchDataRequest. You will then receie the PatchData. When you have finished downloading the avaliable patches, you can apply them, and resend the PatchListReqiestuntil there aren't any more patches avaliable.
