Viewing post in (BUG) (OSX) Bunch of errors?

The mod system is based around having the program change the text of the game scripts, but for MacOS all the game files including the scripts are packed inside the .pck file so the mod system is not able to function. For the basic solution see this topic(an earlier version is available in the Help section of the mod menu): https://itch.io/t/628179/how-to-make-mods-work-on-mac-osx-without-wine

Also, recently we've had a case where that guide appeared to not work as expected due to changes in the Godot Engine. If you find that to be the case, then I recommend using this older Mac folder instead: https://mega.nz/file/3MJQVJ4Y#w1vLnCqyJ8v9AMdiRLz1lf5ZJHGW9dyNgFaMdp5hIb0 (if it asks for the encryption key, it's the portion of the link after the #)

Hey thanks for your reply! So just to clarify if I wanted to play without mods the game should run fine, and these messages are normal?

Also are mods essential now for Strive? I think the last time I played there weren't really many mods available

The vanilla MacOS game should work fine. The mod system should be mostly isolated from the rest of the game in v1.0d, so certain errors like the backup folder will not break other things.

Mods are never essential for Strive, though they may improve your gameplay experience. There is a bugfix mod, which is basically an accumulation of changes until the next version. There are only a handful of mods(I'd guess about 4) that continue to be updated for Strive, though some smaller mods might still be compatible.
