How does the mod compatibility check work? I want to implement it on linux

[shaygover]

Description
I know there is another linux thread already.
I don't know dot net but I do know bash and python. So I'm thinking about scripting the mod compatibility check.
Can someone explain how it works?

My script won't be a new launcher but it'll help debugging and maybe even generate XComModOptions.ini.

Suggest a solution
That remain to be seen.

I will move this to discussions section as this is not directly related to AML.

The type of conflicts AML is able to detect are duplicate mod class overrides, also know as MCO-conflicts.

@RevZero Can you point me to the source files where those checks are implemented? I prefer to adapt that algorithm than creating a new one.

Step one would be to get the actual override for each mod

xcom2-launcher/xcom2-launcher/xcom2-launcher/Classes/Mod/ModEntry.cs

Line 202 in d23f80a

public IEnumerable<ModClassOverride> GetOverrides(bool forceUpdate = false)

Then determine the conflicts

xcom2-launcher/xcom2-launcher/xcom2-launcher/Classes/Mod/ModList.cs

Line 76 in d23f80a

private IEnumerable<ModConflict> GetActiveConflictsImplementation()

Maybe you can work with that.
