I'm used to dumping my modl files in the modules directory and restarting the gateway. Is there a new way to bulk load modules? The old way doesn't seem to work for me. Thanks.

The same process should work, _but_ you'll have to make corresponding updates in the `data/modules.json` file to tell the gateway to actually load the modules.
