Workshop Mods, Load Order #1592

Open Blackgrowl opened 4 years ago

Blackgrowl commented 4 years ago

Garry's Mod should have a Mod Load Order, just like the (in)famous Bethesda games do.

Why? Because some mods do actually need it.

For example, if you install this https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=691315503 but you already have https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=349050451 it won't work. You have to install the first mod first, then the second mod. It's ridiculous.

I suppose this could be useful, but I've never personally ran into any issues with certain addons loading before/after others. While entire addons don't have a loading order, Lua files do so addon developers/authors are sort of able to prioritise what gets loaded first. Also I think legacy addons load in alphabetical-like order as I've seen some legacy lib addons with !!! at the start to make them load first.
