Packaging a mod for sharing

[peewee_RotA]

I want to package a mod for easy sharing for folks not familiar with GZ Doom. I've already got the pk3 ready and users are already playing it.

Right now the steps are:
1. Have original game installed
2. Install gzdoom
3. Download Mod
4. Create shortcut with -file 'modpath'
5. Launch shortcut
6. Select game from list (if you have multiple installed, including expansions)

Is there an easy way to package a mod with a specific version of gzdoom to combine steps 2, 3 and 4, and skip step 6. That way it basically already has a shortcut that points to the mod file and the specific game? I'm ok just targeting windows to start, but I'd prefer it not be a .bat or .ps1 file.

Sorry if I'm overlooking any kind of standard solution, I just am not sure where to start.

If I go with a batch file, is there a proper way to package gzdoom? Is there a version or any kind of licensing things to keep in mind?

I believe I found my answer regarding licensing covered in the licenses.zip. GZDoom's public download from https://zdoom.org/downloads appears to use several opensource licenses, and it looks like they all allow binary redistribution as long as the license is provided.

So zipping GZDoom up with a batch file seems ok.
