v4.0.0 - Major Refactor

ModLoader has been refactored by @Qubus0. See PRs ##60, #62, and #63 for details.

Refactor

The refactor has split the old single file of mod_loader.gd into 4 files:

Filename	Description
mod_loader	Same as before: The main entry point that sets up mods. Loads mod data to the virtual filesystem, loops over them, and initialises them.
mod_data	Stores and validates all Data required to load a mod successfully. If some of the data is invalid, [member is_loadable] will be false.
mod_manifest	Stores and validates contents of the manifest (ie. Author-ModName/manifest.json).
mod_loader_utils	All utility funcs have been moved to here, including logging and getting CLI args.

Breaking Changes

• ModLoader has been moved to the res://addons/ directory.
  • The new location is autoloaded in the same way the old one was, with the same file (mod_loader.gd).
  • Nothing else needs to change in your autoloads. There are other new classes, but they'll be loaded automatically.
• Logging in mods is now handled via the ModLoaderUtils class, which provides a host of new logging options. The following changes will be needed in your mods:
  • ModLoader.mod_log -> ModLoaderUtils.log_info
  • ModLoader.dev_log -> ModLoaderUtils.log_debug
• See also: Breaking changes from v3.1.0
