mod data caching on the client side
All the preset information (preset name, mods/collections, DLCs, optional flags) is stored in the app URL's query string component.
Additional information is fetched from various steam APIs but the steam workshop is considered the single source of truth.
Custom preset name / file name can be appended to the URL after ?.
Only alphanumeric characters + _ is allowed.
If the preset name is set, the ID list must be separated with =.
Comma , separated list of IDs evaluated from left to right in order. Appended to the URL after ? or =.
Mods inherit the optional flag from collections but the last state in order affecting a mod takes precendece when rendering the UI. (see example C4G RHS KotH)
This means that you can override the optional flags of certain items in collections to extend or restrict them. In other words it allows you to mix and combine existing collections and mods to customize the required and optional mods in any way you like.
The selected optional mods are remembered client side in relation to the preset name.
You should also take advantage of the workshop collection feature and create permanent links with workshop IDs pointing to the currently used required and optional collections. (see examples FNF and FNF WW2)
Append or prepend a * to flag an ID optional.
Only numbers and the optional * prefix/suffix is allowed.
Items starting with ! are added to the preset as DLC/CDLC AppIDs.
Only numbers and the optional * prefix/suffix is allowed.
Items starting with @ are added to the preset as local mods.
Only alphanumeric characters + _ and the optional * prefix/suffix is allowed.
