Add a "Incompatible Hullmods" column to hull_mods.csv
« on: March 25, 2021, 01:19:44 PM »
Currently when a mod wants to add a hullmod that is incompatible with a vanilla hullmod, the game allows players to install the modded hullmod first and then install the vanilla hullmod without issue. While you can use scripts to ensure that the modded hullmod is removed in this situation, Story Points mean you could "lock-in" the modded hullmod. This could easily lead to lost Story Points or exploits that aren't supposed to happen. Having incompatible hullmods being handled by hull_mods.csv means that modded hullmods would no longer have this issue.

To add to this: it would be nice if the entries also only passed a warning to the log if the hullmod doesn't exist, rather than crash, because this allows a lot more mod compatibility.

For example, if a mod wants to introduce a hullmod incompatible with a hullmod from Ship and Weapon Pack, it still needs to be able to load in case the user doesn't have Ship and Weapon Pack.
