[SOLVED] New Mods button: .info files?

[MasterEric]

I noticed that a new button(the mods one) has been added. The description thing seems very cool, and a great feature to the API.

However, I have a question: How do I add info for myself? At default it says "No mod information found, Ask your mod author to provide a mod .info file".

How do I create said .info file?

Just going out on a limb here, try making a text file named "mod_yourModClassName.info" and put it in the same folder as the mod_yourModClassName.class file.

That doesn't sound like it would work.

Mostly because there are multiple fields, as you can see in the attached image.

However, if I knew where say Minecraft Forge's .info file was I could look at it and use it as a template.

mod_MinecraftForge.info in the client download:

 

[
{
  "modid" : "mod_MinecraftForge",
  "name" : "Minecraft Forge",
  "version" : "3.3.8.148",
  "url" : "http://MinecraftForge.net",
  "credits" : "Lots of people have contributed to MinecraftForge",
  "authors": [
    "LexManos",
    "Eloraam",
    "Spacetoad"
  ],
  "description": "Minecraft Forge is a common open source API allowing a broad range of mods to work cooperatively together.\nIt allows many mods to be created without them editing the main Minecraft code.",
  "logoFile" : "/forge_logo.png",
  "updateUrl" : "http://minecraftforge.net/forum/index.php/topic,5.0.html",
  "parent" : "",
  "screenshots": [
  ]
}
]

if you ship a jar always call it mcmod.info. the special naming mod_....info is mostly just for forge itself.

Thanks for the help on this subject!
