Mod for loading parts of mods

[Syrkres]

There are a LOT of cool mods out there but sometimes I only want part of a mod.

What would be cool (and modders would have to code for this) is code or mod settings, which allow you to "cherry" pick items of a mod.

So if I have a mod of UNITS, someone who loaded the mod at startup could choose which elements he wanted, unless a unit was dependant on another, but lacking dependancy he could choose what he wanted.

Probably not going to happen, but would be cool.

That sounds like it would be really difficult. You could also just delete the files you don't want. I've definitely done that before. Works just fine.

Not only difficult, I'm pretty sure it's impossible. Mods cannot detect what content has been added by which other mod and xml-tables cannot be edited "on the fly" by mods, but the content of those is often directly read by the core files of the game, making it impossible to prevent the game from giving you certain things based on any kind of ingame option menu.

Too bad there wasn't a "disable" or "active" indicator for elements.
