- Don't clear the cache in LoadPlugins()
- Don't load plugins in SortPlugins(), and make it take a vector of strings, not paths.
- Add a ClearLoadedPlugins() method to clear the loaded plugins cache.
- Remove IdentifyMainMasterFile()
Instead of calling IdentifyMainMasterFile(), callers can use LoadPlugins() to initially load all plugin headers only, then omit the main master file when calling LoadPlugins() to fully load plugins.
Most of the complexity is handled by libloadorder, but it's worth noting that:
- The game path is OpenMW's install path, not Morrowind's
- OpenMW doesn't force master-flagged plugins to load before others
- OpenMW doesn't provide a way to record the load order of inactive plugins
- .omwgame and .omwaddon plugins are equivalent to .esm and .esp respectively, while .omwscripts plugins have a completely different format with none of the metadata that libloot uses.
- OpenMW effectively relies on additional data paths to load Morrowind's (and mods') files, and the last directory listed that contains a given filename is used to load a file with that filename, with the main data path effectively being the first listed.
- I've disabled support for ghosted plugins for OpenMW because it makes the multi-path stuff more confusing and may not provide any benefit.
I've never understood why this appeared to work, but I've seen this test fail twice due to SEH exceptions in the past week, so it's better off removed. Nothing should be relying on this working (and LOOT doesn't).
It's a typedef that's std::wstring on Windows and icu::UnicodeString on Linux, to simplify calling CompareFilenames() with cached pre-converted strings.
