Proper mod support #5

Closed sapi closed 10 years ago

Add a mod key to the settings file, and then preferentially search for needed files in the mod folder.

Note that there are two possible locations for mods:

These locations may not be valid on other operating systems (eg, OS X probably puts them under ~/Library)

< eu4_directory >/mod has stopped being a valid location for mods for quite some time and will cause issues in-game if used (relevant only for EU4 and CK2 modders). It's a vestigial organ of the Clausewitz engine and I wouldn't rely on people actually using those. Additionally Steam will always install the mods in Documents as a result there-of.

You should look into this though for OSX and Linux though, as I can't confirm for those but to the best of my recollection the community of my mod has said the same thing for at least OSX

Oh okay, thanks. I wasn't aware of that, and was just going off my memory from EU4.

Surely the OS X version doesn't put things in ~/Documents, though? That would go against the Apple guidelines as I remember them (I would have expected something like ~/Library/Application Support/Paradox Interactive).

I'll definitely give it a look.
