Component Structure

A component at its core is a JSON object containing the normal function exports a plugin would have, like name, size, LED count, etc.

Directories

These files are grabbed from one of two directories. Built-in ones are stored in:

C:\Users\[YOUR USERNAME]\AppData\Local\VortxEngine\app-[CURRENT VERSION]\Signal-x64\Components

And user-made files should be stored in the User Directory. By default this is in documents:

C:\Users\[YOUR USERNAME]\Documents\WhirlwindFX\Components

Files stored in appdata are overwritten on each update, while ones stored in the user's documents directory will persist between versions. Files stored there will also override anything in the appdata directory with a matching product name. These custom user components will show up just like a built in component, with automatically generated brand and type filters.

JSON Structure

Below is an example of a "Vertagear" Chair Upgrade Kit being expressed as a component with all necessary attributes.

• Note: Common errors and warnings when loading these files will be printed to the debug logs.
