User will still have to manually install the core mods from the get mods page.
This is a regression.
The new mods repo doesn't have a ready made core mods .qmod file for download.
As the mod site is built, this would not be an easy fix on the mod site, since the QMOD is generated in Javascript on the fly.
Suggested options would be:
- Create a new
?isflow=true|false flag that makes the user click the core mods button first on the mods site.
- Use the known core_mods json and implement the same QMOD generation technique (Not a fan of this, as its code replication, and would require two changes instead of one if something changed down the line)
- Update
QAVSModManager.InstallModFromUrl() to detect the .json file and iterate through the core mods for the currently installed version and add them to the queue.
- Ignore it, and let the end-user make mistakes
