Child Mods and Mod "Reloading"

[DrEinsteinium]

Hey guys,

 

I am working on an automatically updating library childmod for my parent WikiLink. I am making some good progress, but I am stuck on two parts.

 

1. How do I make my mod a "Child mod" so I don't have two entries in the loaded mods screen?

 

 

2. This question may be a bit more difficult. How do I "reload" my child mod when it automatically downloads/overrides itself?

 

My first solution was to just have my parent mod do the downloading/overriding and then let the child mod load afterwards, but I'd rather have my child mod do everything. Any suggestions?

 

3. How do I get the location of the mods folder in 'code form'? I know it's a stupid question, but I want a sure way to find the location for the mods folder on every user's machine.

 

Thanks in advance

Thank you. I will try these methods. It's a shame I can't reload my mod though lol

MEGA LAME.  I guess I'll be watching a lot of load screen for a while.
