Modding the Generator on Mac?

[OneTrueMitch]

Hello. So I have just one question I need help with.


I know how to mod the generator on Windows. Thats really easy, because Steam on Windows is much easier to use. However, I can't find any generator to mod for the Mac version of MV. I've tried looking for that {/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/RPG Maker MV/RPG Maker MV.app/Contents/MacOS/Generator} thread, but there is no Steam folder in the Application Support, so I can't access anything further.


Is the Mac version of MVs base system generator even moddable? Because I've been scouring my laptop for anything related to looking for the generator, but I can't find a thing.

yes, but due to the way mac handles programs, it requires a few keyboard overrides. Luckily I'm currently on a Mac (don't own it) so I could check.


Open Steam, control-click the editor to get into the steam program properties from RMMV.


Select "search local files" (or however that is named, I'm on a german steam). You'll get the folder with the RPG Maker MV.app


Ctrl-click that app to get the context menu with an option like "show packet content" or "show app content" or so.


Select that option to get a folder showing the contents of the app-archive.


The generator folder is under Contents - MacOS - Generator


There you should be able to add contents - haven't tested that myself, but that is how you get there


The path you described above is correct, but it forgot to mention that Apple has divided and hidden part of the library - you've been in the wrong part of the library if you didn't find the steam apps, the way I described gets you to the app.

Ah! Thank you, that was very helpful. Very well described and everything. Thanks again!

So my partner is having real trouble with this. He is doing everything right, and his file structure matches up with mine exactly. He is even using the zipped contents of my Generator folder that works. They are the exact files, just copied into his app package.

But no parts actually show up in his in-engine Generator. The files are all there, and they work on mine on Mac. Has anyone else had this issue or know how to get them to show up? Because this worked for me, but not for him.
