ModCheck[B19]

Toolkit for xml modders. Adds 13 new patch operations. Eliminate the need for patchmods. Patch according to presence, order or version of mods. Reorder xml elements, write patching results and test results to the log. Allow faster patching (shorter startup time) and measure how long each patch spends patching.

The primary task for ModCheck is to remove the need for patch mods. It's done by adding test operations, which can tell if another mod is loaded, if one mod is before another, is of at least a certain version, either in About or in ModSync. Each of those can be reversed (not loaded etc).

Adds logic operators, like sequence, AND, OR, If else conditions. This can be used together with the test operations or vanilla operations to make complex test conditions if needed.

Boost performance. Need to do multiple patching operations on the same building? Search, keep the result and run a list of patches without performing a full xpath search for each operation.

Added a bed and want it to appear in the build menu next to the vanilla beds? The Move operation allows you to alter where your modded building will appear.

Feature rich log writing. Get operations to write messages, warnings and errors if operations succeed or fail. Tell the user if a needed mod isn't loaded or load order is incorrect. Also allow writing conditionless with whatever message you might want to add.

Profile patches. Measure how much time is spend on each patch. ModCheck is aware of which mod owns which patch, meaning you can get a precise view of the startup time of your mod. You can name your patches if root operation is from ModCheck, like ModCheck.Sequence. This will allow performance printout with names rather than just patch 1,2,3....

Changelog:
Updating ModCheck will not break existing xml files unless stated otherwise.

v1.8
This is a significant update from a coding point of view. B19 vanilla changed completely regarding patching.
While the code is significantly better, all Harmony calls from ModCheck had to be redesigned and rewritten.

- Added B19 support
- Added Search operation to speed up patching when the same object is patched multiple times in a row
- Added Move operation to control cases where order matters (like order of building buttons)
- Patch profiling now measures the time more accurately (less rounding errors)

XML BREAKING ALERT!!!
Removed FindFile operation (vanilla rewrite renders it both obsolete and impossible to implement)
Any xml file with FindFile will need updating.
