This PR adds multiple features relating to mod downloads. 1. With this PR the launcher will convert old style mods (without hash) to new style mods (with hash). This is so people don't have to re-download all of their mods after joining a server which was previously on a version below 3.6.0 2. This PR will save the last used date of mods in a JSON file in the caching directory. This will allow for smart deletion of cached mods --- By creating this pull request, I understand that code that is AI generated or otherwise automatically generated may be rejected without further discussion. I declare that I fully understand all code I pushed into this PR, and wrote all this code myself and own the rights to this code.

The launcher is the way we communitcate to outside the game, it does a few automated actions such as but not limited to: downloading the mod, launching the game, and create a connection to a server.

How to build for Windows
Make sure you have the necessary development tools installed:
Release
In the root directory of the project,
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release . -B bin -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=C:/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake -DVCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET=x64-windows-staticcmake --build bin --parallel --config Release
Remember to change C:/vcpkg to wherever you have vcpkg installed.
Debug
In the root directory of the project,
cmake . -B bin -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=C:/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake -DVCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET=x64-windows-staticcmake --build bin --parallel
Remember to change C:/vcpkg to wherever you have vcpkg installed.
How to build for Linux
Make sure you have vcpkg installed, as well as basic development tools, often found in packages, for example:
- Debian:
sudo apt install build-essential - Fedora:
sudo dnf groupinstall "Development Tools" - Arch:
sudo pacman -S base-devel - openSUSE:
zypper in -t pattern devel-basis
Release
In the root directory of the project,
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release . -B bin -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=~/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake -DVCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET=x64-linuxcmake --build bin --parallel --config Release
Debug
In the root directory of the project,
cmake . -B bin -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=~/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake -DVCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET=x64-linuxcmake --build bin --parallel
Running out of RAM while building
Should you run out of RAM while building, you can ommit the --parallel instruction, it will then use less RAM due to building only on one CPU thread.
You can also specify a number of threads to use, for example --parallel 4 will use four CPU threads, but due to the small project size, you may be faster just omitting --parallel instead of trying to find the highest possible multithread number
