Separate Launcher for Mods
Posted: Mon Aug 31, 2015 3:29 pm
I want a separate launcher for activating/deactivating mods, so I don't either need to load the game twice or change the modlist.json manually to play with the mods I want.
The idea is simple, and I imagine so is the coding to make this happen: make an alternative launcher, where you can toggle active mods (preferably by double clicking) and group them together for faster naviagation and to clean up a list the could potentially consist of every mod on this forum (and because you usually use some mods in conjunction, like Bob's Mods or DyTech mods). when a "save settings" button is pushed, the launcher would rewrite the .json automatically and a "launch game" button would simply be a shortcut to the actual game .exe.
for anyone who is playing on and off on multiple maps with different mods configurations (like me), this would make thing much more comfortable, and much less tedious. I said that I imagine the coding would be quite simple. Allow me to correct myself. I am almost certain, that anyone who ever made a game launcher could do this in maybe half an hour, an hour at the most.
