Redirecting a webpage to a local folder...?

[Zazoo]

Ok... I'm not even sure if this is possible but:

I play a simple turn-based strategy game online. The artwork for the game pieces/tiles are in a folder on the website (e.g. www.somegame.com/images).
The graphics for the game elements suck. I'd like to make my own tileset to use in their place, but since I don't have upload access to that website's images folder I can't just put new ones in.

What I want to do is just tell my browser (some how), that whenever it needs to load something from that URL/remote folder (www.somegame.com/images) it should use a local folder instead (with my replacement image files in it). Is there anyway to do this? Basically I just need to map a specific web folder to a local folder.

Thanks!

You have firefox?  Download greasemonkey and write a code that replaces any instances of the image folder's url to "file:///C:/*desired local subdirectory*"  That's the protocol for access to local content.

Could one run an .exe this way?

I think you'd need a plug-in for the browser, Mike that looked at all the page requests and
substituted a specified URL when it saw URL it was linked to.

You know, you could store the redirects in a linked list with just a scan URL for matching
and another URL to substitute for the matched part of the URL.

I don't know how hard it is to write plug-ins for FireFox or if a plug-in would have access
to all the page requests.  But that would, I think, be the best/easiest way to go about it.
