CrossPatch - A Crossworlds Mod Manager.

DISCLAIMER: AI was used in the assistance of making this program. While most of it is human there's also a lot of AI code, because this program needed to do some complicated stuff I can't wrap my head around

CrossPatch supports extracting .zip, .7z, and .rar archives.

• .zip: Supported out-of-the-box.
• .7z: Supported via the py7zr Python package.

Misc Info

It is HIGHLY reccomended that you run CrossPatch as an Admin or you are a Local Admin on your device. Not being an admin can inhibit CrossPatch from setting up your mods correctly and cause issues.

For setting up custom display names, authors and version to support CrossPatch, you just need to create a file named "info.json" in your mod folder

Below is a template you can use. The mod_type field is optional and defaults to "pak". Use "ue4ss" for UE4SS-based mods.

{
  "name": "YOUR MOD NAME",
  "version": "1.0",
  "author": "Your Name",
  "mod_page": "gamebanana.com",
  "mod_type": "pak" 
}
