Modlets and Modding on Mac OS X Mojave

Here is a guide to doing 7 days to die things on the Mac with OS X Mojave.

 

Mod Folder

 

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.

 

Finder

 

- 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.

 

Terminal

 

- 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'

 

Config Files

 

The vanilla config files can be found at `~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/7 Days To Die/7DaysToDie.app/Data/Config`.

 

Tools

 

If you are doing a lot of xml and xpath things, then I recommend the following tools.

 

xmllint

 

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:

 

Bad element tag (no ">" at the end)

 

./Config/XUi/windows.xml:23: parser error : expected '>'

 

Missing closing / tag.

 

./Config/XUi/windows.xml:22: parser error : Premature end of data in tag configs line 1
