Multiple non-conflicting mods

[Marshall]

I fully understand the issues you have described. My point was more about whether or not the Launch Base should support the copying of loose files - not insist upon it - so that a developer doesn't have to re-mix their mod constantly during testing.

I think that the install-maker should at least have the option of mixing files and possibly insisting on it. However, any mix generation will require a dll, software module or command line tool.

The other option, as Renegade suggested, is to have a single archive file that Launch Base can read, rather than leaving the modfiles laid bare.
I'm happy to read xcml files, but I don't know how - if someone can guide me on how to read this file type and extract the neccessary files and info then this would be possible. Otherwise, I will look at my own format for such files.

Launch Options:
A) copy loose
B) compile into mixes
C) extract from single archive file

Installer Options:
A) install loose
B) compile into mixes
C) compile into single archive file
