This page describes how to submit metadata changes to games that are already in Flashpoint.
First, use your copy of Flashpoint to find the ID of the game you wish to change.
- Click the game to select it.
- On the right sidebar, click the pencil button. If this button is not available, click the Config tab of the launcher and check the Enable Editing box.
- Copy the ID shown. An example is shown on the right.
Next, create a text file using this ID. The text file should specify the new value for each field you would like to update. The example below will change the Developer and Publisher of the entry for Elephant Quest.
