    Please excuse me if I am being blind and this is posted somewhere. I'd like to make a mod, and I don't know how some of the stuff works.

    So, how do we format *.metadata files? Is it like the *.modinfo files?
    Code:
    {
      "name" : "modname",
      "path" : ".",
      "dependencies" : [ ],
      "metadata": {
        "author" : "me",
        "description" : "tl;dr",
        "version" : "1.3.3.7",
        "support_url" : "http://www.wwwdotcom.com/"
      }
    }
    Or is it different?

    Code:
    {
      "author" : "Username",
      "description" : "Mod description here.",
      "friendlyName" : "Purchasable Pets",
      "link" : "http://www.google.com",
      "name" : "p_Pets",
      "version" : "1.0"
    }

    I thought the metadata files had to be called "_metadata"? I couldn't get them to be read any other way.

    Either .metadata or _metadata works.
