I have found out how to make a "mcmod.info" file for Forge ModLoader, and it works!!

"UD" means "Updated"/"Update"

Here are the steps (Detailed) -
(oh and if u cant understand or follow, or ur just a visual person, just ask to make a vid of how to do this, and i'll make one!)

1. Open NotePad or NotePad++ (I perfer NotePad++)
2. Make a new text document
3. put in this code -
[
{
"modid": "the id of mod in ur base file of the mod",
"name": "name of mod",
"description": "about mod",
"version": "version of mod",
"mcversion": "version of minecraft mod will work on",
"logoFile": "logo picture (ex: "/mod/logo.png")",
"url": "ur website or youtube url": "",
"authors": ["who made the mod?"],
"credits": "credits",
"parent": "",
"screenshots": [],
"dependencies": ["mod_MinecraftForge"]
}
]

4. change the stuff to your stuff (lol)
5. click "file"
6. click "save as"
7. where it says "save file type" click it then select "All types ("*")"
8. save it as: "mcmod.info" (save it to desktop)
9. open the mcp folder
10. open "src" folder in the mcp folder
11. open "minecraft" folder in "src" folder
12. drag "mcmod.info" file from desktop into the "minecraft" folder of src (images should go in this folder too)
13. run eclipse
14. (in eclipse) click run
15. (in minecraft main menu) click "mods" button
16. find your mod, and click it
17. it should say the stuff you put in


I also found out how to make colors in this! just ask how if u want me to, and i'll post the code


I hope this works for you!



If this doesn't work, or you are having trouble understanding/following the steps, post below asking me to make a vid of how to do this, and i'll make a video!

NOTE:

****This has post been updated****

you have to reroute the image loading from your "CommonProxy" class (and any block classes(maybe)) so it can use the textures for items and blocks.
