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

What is CrossPatch?

CrossPatch is an easy to use mod manager for Sonic Racing: Crossworlds

Features:

• Automatic Game Detection
• Automatic folder creation, no need to set up your ~mods folder in the game files
• Supports both Pak and UE4SS mods
• Support for custom mod display names, authors, version numbers, updating etc.
• Simple, Clean, and easy to use UI
• Ability to launch the game via CrossPatch
• Functions on both Windows and Linux

Archive Support

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

For .7z and .rar support, you may need to install additional tools:

• .7z Support: Provided by the py7zr Python package, which is installed automatically.
• .rar Support: CrossPatch can use a bundled unrar tool or a system-wide installation.
  • Recommended (Bundled): Download the command-line tool from the official WinRAR website. Place UnRAR.exe (for Windows) or unrar (for Linux) inside the assets folder next to the CrossPatch executable.
  • Alternative (System-wide): If the bundled tool is not found, CrossPatch will look for unrar in your system's PATH.
    • Windows: Install WinRAR and ensure its folder is in your PATH.
    • Linux: Install the unrar package via your distribution's package manager (e.g., sudo apt install unrar or sudo dnf install unrar).

Misc Info

It is HIGHLY recommended 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-script" for UE4SS script mods, or "ue4ss-logic" for UE4SS logic mods.

{
  "name": "YOUR MOD NAME",
  "version": "1.0",
  "author": "Your Name",
  "mod_page": "https://gamebanana.com/mods/12345",
  "mod_type": "pak" 
}
