Adding additional mod support #15

Open ironchefpython opened 6 years ago

ironchefpython commented 6 years ago

I looked through the project, and I didn't see a list of mods that get published to https://factorio.rotol.me/

I would love to be able to submit a pull request that adds an entry to a list of mods to display on the website, and if accepted would rebuild the web page to add those mod(s)

The current process is:

Generate mod/config packs locally using https://github.com/Murnto/Factorio-PackGen
Push the generated pack files to the server
Reload the server

This isn't an ideal process, there would be a number of things to consider for an automated system:

Proper sandboxing/isolation of Lua within Factorio-PackGen
Factorio-PackGen is liable to break due to quirks in certain mods (these are generally trivial to fix by hand, but automatically handling it likely won't be)

More minor:

Obtaining the mod files
- Hardcoded direct links to zips?
- Pulling from https://mods.factorio.com/?
Handling changed mod dependencies from version to version

You're more than welcome to submit a PR :)
