Description
Currently, MAD is very paranoid and only downloads verified mods. I propose that we relax that restriction and allow mod downloading from URLs sent by servers in some capacity.
- VerifiedMods would still exist and would provide a "seal of approval" for mods, that would bypass the need for a user to accept downloading the mod
- Servers send a list of Mod-URL pairs to clients, which clients then download the mods from. Clients would check the mod list against VerifiedMods and prefer downloading from URLs provided by VerifiedMods if possible
- Any non-verified download that contains a plugin/dll will not be installed (maybe could be loosened to a secondary warning for the user?)
- to avoid annoying platform issues, MAD should just recursive search for
mod.jsonand install each mod as if it was an individual mod - Remote mods should be mass-disablable from the mods menu, to avoid incompatibility "softlocks" where the user must restart the game to resolve the issue
- Verified mods should be shown differently in the server browser UI, think funny checkmark or something
