Update: Many modpacks have maps (.sav) instead of rulesets, since maps
can include custom rules. 

A GUI interface for loading modpacks is IMO sorely needed. Non-Linux
users are struggling with using modpacks since it involves selecting a
tileset before starting the game, something that is not possible through
the GUI as it is now.

Alternatively, the 'Local Options' dialogue should be made accessible
from the main menu.
