OK, I have made some changes.
SEE OP for latest download links
Now it will replace non-LGP files (e.g. kernel2.bin - or any of the PNG files for use in Aali's driver). Also I have improved the GUI a bit so it's easier to turn mods on or off, or change the order. See:
It will list all the folders within the 'base mod location' you choose, and let you turn those mods on or off by (un)ticking the item, or change the priority for which mod takes effect by moving them up or down the list. Also you can save a particular configuration to use rather than have to go through ticking and reordering them each time (could take a long time with 50+ mods installed...)
For this to work, you need to have a mod folder set up in Aali's driver, point the launcher at it, but instead of placing mods in that folder, place it in the 'wrapped' folder you select in my launcher instead. That way it can control which files get used. Also I recommend turning off the compress textures (cache) option in Aali's driver, otherwise it will use the cached files instead of mods you have just chosen!
(Also you can put a file - mod.xml - in the folder for a mod to give more details about the mod, including a link to the website/forum page for that mod, see in the screenshot. This is optional, but maybe if people want to use this launcher, authors putting a mod description file in their download will make it easier for people to use?)
Hm, I will try and do this then, should be good if it works

That sounds really exciting. I would advertise the heck out of this feature on YT if it were to come to fruition.
Imagine beach clothing for the Costa Del Sol area
OR!!! Traditional Japanese clothing for the Wutai area
