Add support for synchronizing mod settings in MP. So that the clients all get the server's mod config settings.

If this is already implemented, then please mark it as fixed. I am not able to test this right now, but I ran into issues with mod settings and I thought of this great idea that is a needed feature.

This is the entire reason mod settings were created and has been supported since 0.15.0. Unless some mod(s) use the settings wrong it will prompt on join to set your startup settings to the server settings if they don't match.

I hope it's automatic and not expecting you to set the setting manually.

It is. It prompts on joining stating your settings are different and asks if you want to sync yours with the server.

If you're instead getting "mod contents are different" then somebody is using mod settings wrong and conditionally requiring files based off settings which breaks CRC logic.

That's great. Thanks for the update. I'll keep an eye out if I run into issues with any mods.
