Mod manager can't add/remove files from packfiles #4

Open Moneyl opened 3 years ago

The mod manager can't add/remove files from str2_pc or vpp_pc files. This is needed to move DLC assets to the main game or to add new assets. The workaround used in the past is to fully repack the vpp_pc, distribute that, and have people overwrite their copies. I'd like to avoid that because it makes the mods unnecessarily large and breaks compatibility with other mods.

The solution is either to patch the mod manager or write a new one. I think at this point it's a better idea to write a new one so we can easily make changes to it in the future instead of hacking in fixes.

Update: A solution for this problem is being developed. SyncFaction is a new mod installer and mod manager for RFG which will eventually replace the old one. The mod manager features are still under development and not yet publicly available.
