Automatic Verbyte updates?

[Eric]

I've heard talk of this, but no one's really taken the initiative to announce it.

I propose that someone reverse engineer starcraft/broodwar and find the specific line that the verbyte is stored in. if possible, you could read from that line in the exe for the verbyte, thus eliminating the need for a verbyte change, so that the user only needs install new hashes.

UserLoser already did that, but never made use of it.  Someone resend me Starcraft.exe/battle.snp

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the offset where the version is stored usally change after a patch?

You could search for a particular sequence of bytes before the actual version byte since those are unlikely to change much.
