hint Custom modoverrides format

[Maris]

All you need is small script directly in modoverrides.lua file:

local t = {
	--Your old options.
}

--Small script.
for i=#t,1,-1 do
	local opt = t[i]
	if opt.sub then --string
		t[opt] = { enabled = true }
	elseif opt[1] ~= nil and opt.enabled ~= false then --special table
		local name = opt[1]
		name = ""..name ~= name and "workshop-"..name or name
		t[name] = { enabled = true, configuration_options = opt }
		opt[1] = nil
	end
	t[i] = nil
end
return t

For example, you can see my modoverrides.lua. It's compatible with old format. But I can use my new "lazy" format for adding mods and/or options. At the end of the options you can find new format examples:
