… legal reasons (ArchipelagoMW#2038) ## What is this fixing or adding? It was pointed out that distributing an archive with copies of all the supported mods could lead to legal problems down the line. So we are moving away from this approach. This also means that, in the event that a mod gets updated and the previous version is no longer available, we need the ability to update the mod's supported version at any point in time, and cannot rely on AP's release schedule for such updates that will, in most cases, be only changing the string for the required version. Changes: - Scrub all references to the support mods zip file from documentation - Create dedicated "Supported Mods" documentation page, external to AP so we can keep it updated with mod versions regardless of their release schedule - Remove mod version validation from the AP backend, and manage that in the mod itself, for the same reason.
