Would it be possible to allow the server to send required mods to a client attempting to connect (After a confirmation dialogue)? As of now, I pre-package a zip of KSP with the mods my server needs and share it to my friends who don't know how to install mods, it would be cool if the server could do that for them.

While I agree that installing mods manually is a pain, and actually did suggest this very thing to gimp with KMP - the major reason is downloading binaries is a bad idea.

The lesser issue but still an important one, many mods are not redistributable, MJ is fine, Kethane is not.

There's also one last problem, It is impossible to get KSP to unload mods, and likely impossible to get KSP to load the mod, so it requires a restart anyway.

The more correct solution for this is for a program to work off a mod cache so they can easily switch between servers before starting KSP. KMPModClient used to do this for KMP, But I've yet to port it to DMP.

I agree. However that would violate some mod's licenses.

Makes sense. Thanks for the answer.
