Downloading mods from the host

[onyx smelt]

What do you think about a mod that would download the host's mod code/file and update the profile on which the game was launched? This would make it easier to join public lobbies and would reduce the need to constantly update mods with friends

[untold pumice]

Probably not safe because someone could upload malware and try to get people to download it before it's removed. It'd be better to just have a mod that tells you what packages you are missing so you could go look yourself

or just make a whitelist for certian mods

or for the most mods

[untold pumice]

Then at that point if the mod isn't on the whitelist, you'd download and incomplete pack and still not know what you're missing

Since not being on the whitelist doesn't necessarily mean it's unsafe

[kindred depot]

Then display what mods are missing. You will be able to download them manually but at your own risk

[untold pumice]

That was what I had suggested

[kindred depot]

Where?

how about a thing where it first shows you all the mods the person is playing with and then you decide to join afterwords

[untold pumice]

Hey now, that'd be rad. So you don't even have to attempt to join to get the list, you can just write it down from the lobby select or find a new one

[devout dome]

wouldn't change anything since it could be spoofed by the host or the host could have a malicious mod, plus the host would also need the mod anyway

[craggy tendon]

lethal mod manager is perfect for u, its still in wip

[untold pumice]

oh, misunderstood that suggestion

[wispy vale]

Also, a whitelist could probably be abused too. If the whitelist goes by mod name or whatever, someone could just steal another popular mod name that IS on the whitelist

I didn't expect such a broad conversation on this topic
