How to force a modification to load from another modification

The script-based portions of the enhancements I'm writing to the torque engine all live in a separate modification (similar to the admin system).

Because I intend to reuse this code, I am placing it in its own module. Rather than modify main.cs to load this other modification when my root modification is loaded, it loads the modification that it is dependent on.

// Load the BatBaz Modification Kit
// (doesn't accomplish much if it is already loaded)
$userMods = strreplace($userMods, "BatBaz", "");
$userMods = pushFront($userMods, "BatBaz", ";");
$modPath = pushback($userMods, $baseMods, ";");
setModPaths($modPath);
loadMods("BatBaz");

Why would you want to do this?

Lets say that you aren't using the admin modification in your game. Further, lets say that you support only free for all game play.

I introduce a modification named "CTF" to the game, to add capture the flag rules to your game. I want to use the admin mod.

In this case, modifying the main game's main.cs file isn't a very good idea. Making the user specify both CTF and admin is also bad, because if they forget some functionality might not work.

What really should happen (in this sort of a case) is that the modification should know what other modifications it depends on, and load them on start up, so that you don't have to modify any game-provided base files to install your new modification.
