tphdfileupdater's Issues

Multi-mod support

In order for multiple mods that impact different game assets to be used at the same time, it might be necessary to have the tool create an additional "dummy" mod that only contains the FileSizeList.txt and DecompressedFileSize.txt files.
Removing those files from all other mods, and then parsing all the mods together to compile the new file sizes in the files within the "dummy" mod.
In theory, Cemu (and the game?) should sideload all the mods, as well as the .txt files. Meaning that if all sizes have been updated correctly, accoding to the mods, then the sizes should be sideloaded as well, and the game should run.

Potential issue: if the user disables a graphicPack that contains one of the mods that the .txt files have been updated for, the game might not run (due to the mod's files not being sideloaded, despite their sizes being present in the .txt files).
