/**
 * Build Script
 *
 * This script automates the build process for server-side SPT mod projects, facilitating the creation of distributable
 * mod packages. It performs a series of operations as outlined below:
 * - Loads the .buildignore file, which is used to list files that should be ignored during the build process.
 * - Loads the package.json to get project details so a descriptive name can be created for the mod package.
 * - Creates a distribution directory and a temporary working directory.
 * - Copies files to the temporary directory while respecting the .buildignore rules.
 * - Creates a zip archive of the project files.
 * - Moves the zip file to the root of the distribution directory.
 * - Cleans up the temporary directory.
 *
 * It's typical that this script be customized to suit the needs of each project. For example, the script can be updated
 * to perform additional operations, such as moving the mod package to a specific location or uploading it to a server.
 * This script is intended to be a starting point for developers to build upon.
 *
 * Usage:
 * - Run this script using npm: `npm run build`
 * - Use `npm run buildinfo` for detailed logging.
 *
 * Note:
 * - Ensure that all necessary Node.js modules are installed before running the script: `npm install`
 * - The script reads configurations from the `package.json` and `.buildignore` files; ensure they are correctly set up.
