[SOLVED] Cosmetic issue with mcmod.info

[xenoflot]

Hi folks,

 

Just getting started with modding and looking at the mcmod.info file. In the supplied example_mod mcmod.info file it uses a number of placeholders for things like version. I've noticed some odd behaviour.

 

In the file, it looks like this:

"version": "${version}",

 

Then when it's displayed in game, it looks like this:

Version: ${version} (1.10.2-1.0)

 

I checked the mcpmod.info file and I notice they're manually specifying the version number, rather than using ${version}

 

Is this a minor bug? I note that the documentation https://github.com/MinecraftForge/FML/wiki/FML-mod-information-file makes no mention of these placeholders. Perhaps they're now deprecated?

 

Cheers,

Xeno

in-dev? Do you mean launching the game from within Idea? If so, yes.

 

BTW Thanks for posting the tutoral on setting up Idea. It took a while to grok everything but I got there!

OK, that answers that then. Thanks for the quick reply!
