[Solved][1.8.9]mcmod.info file question?

[SureShotM]

I am wondering if the mcmod.info file still works with 1.8.9 version of forge, or with intellij. What brings me to this question is once I switched from 1.7.10 it seamed stop working and doing everything that I can to get it to work but it doesn't seem to be doing the trick. Now before you post this link, http://www.minecraftforge.net/forum/index.php?topic=21354.0, and say follow it I would like to say that I have several times exactly and it has not worked or fixed the issue. Here is my build.gradle if it will help, and the mcmod.info if for some reason the format of it changed and I did not know.

i read a tutorial about that in 1.8 and i found out that you can add this to your preInit in your main mod file and then it should work.

you can add more things if you want just use this line

 

metadata.// and then select something

 

here is the code:

                /**
	 *  Mod Information
	 */
	ModMetadata metadata = e.getModMetadata();
	metadata.autogenerated = false;
	metadata.name = //Mod name;
	metadata.description = //Description;	
	metadata.credits = //credits, author;
	metadata.logoFile = "assets/modid/...";
	metadata.url = //here url;
	/** ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ **/

wow okay really all of that in the preinit sounds like it defeats the point of the mcmod.info, either way thank you. If there is any other way please post here.

Don't know what I did but I fixed it.
