[Feature Request] Meta Package Support

Opened this issue · 1 comments

With the advent of certain packages like Community Packages that contain a bunch of other mods, I've notice that a lot of them tend to become outdated. I was wondering if it's possible to have a meta package that grabs the latest version of these packages instead for convenience. My proposal would be to just have a meta.json file with a list of URLs for the mods to grab. Or even a meta.xml file. Let me know what you think of this.

Thanks.

This sort of already exists. Way back when I added loadouts to Aemulus I added a way to import loadouts and that would attempt to automatically download any mods you didn't have locally. However, I don't think I actually documented that anywhere so afaik no one has ever used it lol.

Basically, you just drag and drop a loadout xml (copied from the Config folder) into the package window. Idk if it actually still works but assuming it does you could just send people a loadout xml with whatever packages you want and I think that'd accomplish what you're asking for.
