Let mods provide a low-priority loader for an asset. This is essentially identical to the current IAssetLoader except for conflict resolution: if another mod also loads the asset, SMAPI will ignore the low-priority loader.

Background

Mods often have custom assets (like a tractor sprite) which players want to customise. Currently they can only do that by replacing the asset file in the mod folder. With a low-priority loader, mods could support Content Patcher packs that load a custom version of their sprite.

To do

• Add support for low-priority loaders.
• Document a convention for editable custom assets (e.g. Content/Mods/<mod name>/<asset name>).

This ticket is stale and there are no current plans to implement it.

This will be addressed by #766.
