Here is a guide to doing 7 days to die things on the Mac with OS X Mojave.
The Mods folder is where you place your Mods and Modlets to play with 7 days. The Mods folder can be accessed a few different ways.
- open a finder window
- hit cmd-shift-g
- enter
~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/7 Days To Die
If there is not a folder named 'Mods', then create one in the finder with cmd-shift-N.
- open a terminal window
cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/steam/steamapps/common/7\ Days\ To\ Die/ls -l
If there is not a folder named 'Mods', then create one in terminal with 'mkdir Mods'
The vanilla config files can be found at ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/7 Days To Die/7DaysToDie.app/Data/Config.
If you are doing a lot of xml and xpath things, then I recommend the following tools.
xmllint can check your modlet xml for basic syntax errors such as mismatched elements or invalid characters.
- open terminal
- navigate to your modlet config folder (e.g.
MyCoolMod/Config) - run
find . -name "*.xml" | xargs xmllint --noout
If there are no errors the output will be empty. Examples of common errors:
./Config/XUi/windows.xml:23: parser error : expected '>'
./Config/XUi/windows.xml:22: parser error : Premature end of data in tag configs line 1
