Firestar is a mod manager for WipEout 2048 which automatically handles sorting mods by priority and repacking game assets based on selected add-on packs. It runs on a desktop/laptop computer and aims to allow easy installation of mods for users who have only a surface level understanding of hacking the PSVita.

**What works:**
- Managing mods (install, add, delete, toggle on/off)
- Cross-platform support
**What doesn't work yet:**
- settings screen
- misc. tools (pack creator, soundtrack mod generator...)
- initial setup screen can still be a bit arduous for vita newbies

# Mod File Structure
Mod files are contained inside of ZIP archives with the metadata being stored inside of the archive's embedded comments. The "data" folder inside contains the actual game assets for repacking.
Next to it at root level a pack.png will be supplied for displaying your mod's icon in later versions of Firestar. This feature is currently unimplemented.
Later versions of Firestar will have a built-in tool to handle these for you, since some archive programs don't make it easy enough to do by hand.
Typical mod metadata will look something like this:
```json
{
"version": 1,
"friendlyName": "Custom soundtrack",
"loaderversion": 0,
"author": "bonkmaykr",
"description": "I need sugar"
}
```
