[Suggestion] - Add zipped files support + Mod description file.

Add zipped files support + Mod description file.

Related #10.

So, after many years and with the tool pretty much done, what about you think about this suggestion again?

Add zipped files support (zip, rar, .7zip).

Recently a Vehicle Loader tool for Vice City was released. and with it the option to load mods from zipped files. I feel it will be a good addition as it would reduce the modloader folder size. https://www.mixmods.com.br/2019/03/vc-maxo-vehicle-loader-mvl.html

Also I suggest a modpack zipped file, which would contain many more zipped mods. And a description file which would contain the mod description, such as author, description, and so.

The file stucture:

Mod_file.desc -- This file contains the mod descriptions, so it can be used to catalog mods in a website, or even a new in-game gui.

    Mod_author = Author
    Mod_desc = A mod that does something
    Mod_tags = tag1, tag2, tag3
    Mod_isSampReady = false
    Mod_blah = Another value here

Mod.zip - This is the mod zip file, this should contain the mod folder and the mod description file.

ModPack.zip - This is the modpack zip file, this should contain 1 or more mod zip files and the modpack description file.

Hi Renan,

This is a very interesting feature for many reasons, including the reduction in disk usage.

Unfortunately I do not have the time to continue supporting this tool. I'm quite glad I was able to leave it in a quite stable state to the community before dropping it, but I cannot afford to build it any further.

Appreciate the suggestion, and hope you understand.
