Modding Help I need help making a patch file.

So I'm having a conflict with Frackin Universe because they added in Kirhos NPCs that use the Kirhos armor. I need to make a patch for all of the armors but I can't figure out how. is it as simple as doing something like this?
[
{
"path": "/defaultBlueprints/tier1/-",
"value": {
"item": "kirhostier5mhead"
},
"op": "add"
}
]
if so how would I figure out the path? or is there more to it that I don't know about?
Also I'm guessing I should make it all one big .patch. Where would I put the patch file?

 

So first off, a patch file goes in a "mimic" folder path, like if the armor you are patching is located in "mods/this_guys_mod/items/armor/armor_I_dont_like.(whatever armor kind it is)", then you would make a patch file in "mods/my_mod/items/armor/armor_I_dont_like.(ditto).patch".

Secondly, are you trying to replace a value or add a new value?

Wait... I re-read your problem... you need a player.config.patch in "mods/your_mod_folder/" written similar to this

Code:

[
        { "op" : "add", "path" : "/defaultBlueprints/tier1/-", "value" : { "item" : "*item name*" }}
]

In between each new item you need a comma, but make sure there isn't a comma at the end or else you crash instantly.

Code:

[
        { "op" : "add", "path" : "/defaultBlueprints/tier1/-", "value" : { "item" : "*item name*" }},
}

This will cause you to crash...

 

Yeah I probably could have worded that better. Alright I'll give that a try, thank you.

 

Here is a great website for helping create patches. I've learned a lot from it, seeing exactly how the pathing is suppose to go after I fail to patch it manually.
