The plugin has been developed with simplicity in mind. Everything is operated in-app with user-friendly UI in hope to making a nice and smooth usage for all users.
After going to your plugins and enabling Personal Badges, click on the cog wheel for the plugin which should open the settings.
When opening your settings, you should see a set of buttons. I highly recommend enabling the VencordToolbox plugin to have ease of access to a few of these.
In your settings, click on the "Open Badge Modal" button. This should open the primary modal for creating, modifying or even deleting badges.
The modal should be generally self-explanatory on what to do with it. The top select menus are for selecting categories / or badges in case that is confusing though.
If you do not have a category yet but would like to have one, scroll down past managing badges.
After creating a badge, there is a simple way for you to add them to any user you want or any guild (guild = server).
Right click on the desired user / or guild you'd like to give the badge to and a context menu should pop out. Look for the buttons along the lines of "Manage Badges".
There should be two menu items here, Exclude Badge & Include Badge.
Both of them are an identical copy of each other but with different actions.
Hover over them to get a list of badges / or categories that could be managed for the desired user / or guild.
Upon using Exclude Badge the badge will be excluded from the user.
This will OVERRIDE global, users and guilds. For instance, if a badge is set to be global and a user is excluded, they will not have the badge shown for them.
If a badge is excluded from a guild, it will no longer appear for any users you view in that guild.
Upon using Include Badge the badge will be included for the user. This is the complete opposite of Exclude Badge.
This doesn't really override anything, it will include a user who was previously excluded. guilds (only when viewing a guild), global and excluded overrides including.
If a badge is included for a guild, it will appear for any users you view in that guild.
Do know that any badge which isn't assigned to a category is automatically considered unassigned and will be listed normally.
Using the same method to open the context menu for managing badges; Right click on any user / or guild for creating the category. It doesn't matter as all you need is to open the menu.
Why can't you open the modal separately?
well idk, just felt right?
Anyways, hover over either button under "Manage Badges". Again, it doesn't matter. Afterwards, click on the "Create Category" button.
NOW this is where the magic happens! This should open the primary modal for creating, modifying or even deleting a category.
Again, the modal should be generally self-explanatory on what to do with it.
Do know that the name of your category does have a character limit of 20 so the input is shortened in size.
By now you should know that these buttons exists, where everything is located, etc.
If you haven't seen anything about Export yet, just know that you have to be editing something for that button to appear.
I am not going to give any instructions on this as it as is simple as saving / or opening a file after clicking a button though I will provide additional documentation on the data types (only modifiable properties).
In case you're not sure what that is, you can skip this. It's only if you want to manually modify an exported file or create your own. You could even update older files from V1 if you have any.
A good case for this would be if you have multiple badges in one file within an array. Convert this to a category! Can only import one badge at a time.
