Assigned, NormalPublic

Description

When the ID (not GUID) of a mod contains spaces, the Dedicated Server Tool will try to interpret said mod as multiple separate mods.

Steps To Reproduce
  1. Create a new project.
  2. Create and save a subworld of MpTest.
  3. Select the world in the Dedicated Server Tool. You only need the -addonsDir parameter, do not use -addons as these will be detected automatically.
  4. Run the DST, a peer client is not necessary. Observation: Everything works correctly.
  5. In the Project Settings, add at least one space to the Mod ID, changing it from e. g. "NewEnfusionProject" to "New Enfusion Project".
  6. Run the DST again. Observation: An error message appears, "Can't find 'New' addon! Check setup guidelines!".
Additional Information

While avoiding spaces in the IDs of your own mods is more easy than not, some mods on the Workshop do have spaces, which - while this issue persists - makes using them as dependencies very troublesome.
