Feature request: allow mod download from other locations than GH

[starenka]

Before creating

• This is NOT a gameplay feature from Civ VI, BNW, or outside - see Roadmap
• This is NOT a gameplay feature from Vanilla Civ V or from G&K - If so, it should be a comment in Missing features from Civ V - G&K #4697

Problem Description

Allowing mod downloads from any url will be nice for mod development (one does not need to commit and push unfinished work to public repo). Testing changes will be much easier imo.

f.e one would cd /prac/unciv-bohemia && zip -r -u unciv-bohemia.zip *; python -m http.server -b 127.0.0.1 and then just make the game download the mod from http://127.0.0.1:8000/unciv-bohemia.zip

if is there an easier way to test mods, i'm really sorry, but haven't seen it in the docs. (yes, i'm aware of the fact i can just make a branch for the testing but, still the feedback loop is much shorter this way)

With some limitations to the Zip structure I forgot, this should be possible already. 🤪 - #10881?
