Modules

Modinfo Editor

Edit your mod's .modinfo JSON file through a fully visual interface.

The Modinfo Editor lets you manage all entries inside a modinfo.json file — the metadata file that ICARUS uses to identify and display your mod.

Features:

• Open & Save — Load any modinfo.json from disk. Save with Ctrl+S or the toolbar. Unsaved changes are tracked with a dirty indicator.
• Mod list panel — All mods in the file listed on the left. Search/filter by name, drag to reorder, add new entries or delete existing ones.
• Edit panel — Click any mod to open its full edit form on the right:
  • General Information — Name, Author, Version, Compatibility
  • Description — Free-text description field
  • Links & Resources — Image URL, Readme URL — with a GitHub file browser to pick files directly from any repository
  • Files — .exmodz and .pak file path fields, also with GitHub browser support
• GitHub file browser — Enter a GitHub repo (owner/repo) and fetch its file tree. Then browse and pick file paths without leaving the app — URLs are filled in automatically.
• Preview / Raw toggle — Switch between edit view and a read-only preview of the current mod's data.

Recipe Editor

Create and edit crafting recipes inside .json or .exmod mod files.

The Recipe Editor lets you manage all recipe entries inside a mod file — adding new recipes, editing existing ones, and defining inputs/outputs without touching raw JSON.

Features:

• Open & Save — Load any .json or .exmod mod file from disk. Save with Ctrl+S or the toolbar. Unsaved changes are tracked with a dirty indicator.
• Recipe list panel — All recipes in the file listed on the left with a search bar. Resizable panel divider so you can give more space to what matters.
• Recipe editor panel — Click any recipe to edit its full definition on the right:
  • Output — Item name and quantity
  • Inputs — Add, remove, and reorder ingredient rows (item + quantity)
  • Category, talent, and other recipe fields — Picked from searchable dropdowns
• Pending edits system — Changes are held in memory until you save, letting you review and discard individual edits before committing.
• Apply All modal — Review a diff of all pending changes (old → new) before writing to disk.
• Base recipes reference — Open a side window with the full base-game recipe list for quick reference while editing.
• Multi-file combined view — Open a group of mod files together and edit across all of them in a single session.
