<li>Type: string</li>
<li>
Name of file inside the root of the mod package directory which contains the description text. Description file has to be a simple text file with .txt extension saved in UTF-8 encoding. Content of the description file is shown in mod details window and should include information about usage of your mod, additional credits of included mods etc. For possible text formatting see section [[#Description_of_your_mod|Description of your mod]]
{{Tip|Since ETS 2 1.23 you can specify localized description files for more check: [[#Localized_description|Localized description]].}}
<li>Type: array of strings</li>
<li>
List of compatible game versions. If the list is present and the game version does not match any version from that list, the user will be unable to use the mod and he they will have to wait for the author to update it. Shall be used only for mods that are likely to get broken, like a map modsmod.
<br><b>Note:</b> If you want your mod to be compatible with all versions simply skip this parameter. Note also that formatting of the Steam version with "s" suffix (for example: 1.18.1s) does not exist in this versioning so please do not use it.
<br>Each item from the list supports wildcards formatting shown below:
</tr>
</table>You can also specify support for only one revision of the game which is not recommended as we do not change game a lot between minor patches.<br>For example:
<pre>compatible_versions[]: "1.19.1"</pre>This usage is not a good idea as your mod will work only with the 1.19.1 version.<br>If we will release some hotfix, your mod will simply be incompatible with it.<br>You can also use more than one compatible version definitionsdefinition, like this:
<pre>compatible_versions[]: "1.19.*"
compatible_versions[]: "1.20.*"</pre>This way you support both 1.19 and 1.20 patches.<br><b>REMEMBER! If you specify a very restricted set of versions, users of your mod may wait for you, to release a hot fix for the mod evenversion number and , even if your mod is 100% compatible with the latest release.</b>
