_v1.16.2.png)
The mod information can be edited with 
XBLAH's Modding Tool through a comprehensive UI without requiring the modder to mess with text files. It includes all the major keys of GoldSrc, more than enough for the majority of GoldSrc modders.
Where to find it
This can be accessed within the tool through Mod > Game info.
How to use it
Steam Library
You can set the mod’s name and import an icon from common picture formats. It will not show on the Steam Library.
