Mod groups

[trumank]

I propose a method of grouping mods together and adjusting profiles to operate on layered mod groups. This would allow for configurations such as:

• having a "visual" mod group which includes personalized non-gameplay affecting mods
• having many different "gamplay" or "gamemode" mod groups that include only gameplay affecting mods
• creating mod profiles consisting of a gameplay profile on top of the common visual profile

With this configuration, mods in the visual group can be added/removed/modified and the change would be automatically reflected in any mod profile using the group. This also lays the groundwork for receiving and merging mods profiles (actually mod groups in this case) from the lobby host.

So something like this?

struct ModGroup {
    name: String,
    mods: BTreeSet<ModConfig>,
}

struct Profile {
    name: String,
    mod_groups: BTreeSet<ModGroup>,
}

[trumank]

struct ModGroup {
    name: String,
    mods: BTreeSet<ModConfig>,
}

struct Profile {
    name: String,
    mod_groups: BTreeSet<ModGroup>,
}

Close, but mod_groups should be a Vec or IndexSet so they can have a configurable order.

What is the configurable order actually for? Load order? Or just visual order? EDIT: nevermind, it's for load order.

Id also love to be able to sort my mods. If possible also by different settings like name, sandbox/approved/verified, maybe even other tags. Otherwise I love the setup so far. The instructions are very clear and the UI is really nice.
