[i]This will show you how to install the Warband version of The Last Days of the Third Age on macOS. There are two ways of doing it; by taking advantage of the Steam Workshop automatic updates, or by installing the mod manually.

If you choose to install the mod *without* using the Steam Workshop, just make sure that the two latest .7z files from https://tldmod.github.io are already in your Downloads folder. Otherwise installing Warband on your Mac and clicking [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=299974223#profileBlock]Subscribe[/url] should be enough. Let's begin.[/i]

[quote][h1]Main way: Steam Workshop version[/h1]

After installing Warband on your Mac, clicking [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=299974223#profileBlock]Subscribe[/url], and waiting for the big download to finish, the mod should be technically installed, if the Warband engine worked as intended we shouldn't have to do any of the following steps:

[h2]a) FIXING WARBAND[/h2]
[olist]
[*] Open the «Go» menu in the Finder and select «Utilities», then click on the «Terminal» icon.
[list]
[*] We will go line by line, just copy-paste the various commands in the Terminal and press Enter. I will explain what it does first to avoid looking sketchy.
[/list]

[*] Fix the garbled font and the collision bodies so that you can actually hit baddies. Just paste this in the Terminal window and press Enter:
[code]cd ~/'Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/workshop' && ln -s 'content/48700/299974223/Data' Data[/code]
[*] Close the Terminal window.
[/olist]

That's it. Open Steam like your normally do and use Warband's [i]Configure[/i] utility to change the selected mod to «[i]The Last Days of the Third Age[/i]». If you followed this guide properly then the game should launch and reach to the main menu.

Automatic mod updates should work as normal, you only need to repeat these steps whenever the font breaks, so hopefully only when reinstalling the game.

Have fun in Middle-earth![/quote]



[quote][h1]Alternative way: Manual mod installation[/h1]

If you choose to install the mod *without* using the Steam Workshop, just make sure that the two latest .7z files from https://tldmod.github.io are already in your Downloads folder.

[h2]a) TEMPORARILY INSTALLING THE 7-ZIP EXTRACTOR[/h2]
[olist]
[*] Open the «Go» menu in the Finder and select «Utilities», then click on the «Terminal» icon.
[list]
[*] We will go line by line, just copy-paste the various commands in the Terminal and press Enter. I will explain what it does first to avoid looking sketchy.
[/list]

[*] This switches your [i]Terminal[/i] to your temporary directory (the one that gets flushed every time you reboot), then downloads the [i]7za[/i] command-line utility (right from the '[i]Homebrew[/i]' package manager but without installing anything) and extracts it in that very same folder:
[list]
[*] Don't worry, it's only a tiny, portable and self-contained program (called [i]7za[/i]) that will go away the next time you shutdown your Mac. They leave no trace behind.
[/list]
[code]cd /tmp && curl -L 'ghcr.io/v2/homebrew/core/p7zip/blobs/sha256:bea86999db7dee5f0cb78d3a72d875d822ec73ebb2a6e7d46cf27ae66243c645' -H 'Authorization: Bearer QQ==' -o p7zip.tar.gz && tar -xzvf p7zip.tar.gz 'p7zip/17.04/lib/p7zip/7za' && mv -f 'p7zip/17.04/lib/p7zip/7za' .[/code]
[/olist]

[h2]b) UNINSTALLING PREVIOUS TLD VERSIONS[/h2]
[olist]
[*] This opens Warband's «[i]Modules[/i]» folder in the Finder so that you can delete any previous versions of the «TLD» folder on your own by right-clicking it and using «[i]Move to Trash[/i]». If the folder isn't there let's just skip this step and proceed to the installation:
[code]open ~/'Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/MountBlade Warband/Modules/'[/code]
[/olist]

[h2]c) INSTALLING THE MOD[/h2]
Next up we are going to extract the mod under «[i]{game-root}/Modules/TLD/[/i]». Just ensure that the two latest .7z files (the standalone and the latest nightly patch) from https://tldmod.github.io are already conveniently stored in your Downloads folder and this will take care of the rest:

[olist]
[*]Let's switch to the [i]Downloads[/i] folder, where the compressed files are.
[code]cd ~/Downloads[/code]
[*] Extract the standalone TLD 3.6 release for Warband:
[code]/tmp/7za x -y -bb1 -o"$HOME/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/MountBlade Warband/Modules" TLD_3.6_wb.7z[/code]
[*] Extract the latest Warband nightly patch (the one that comes with the latest updates) and, you guessed it, overwrite yet again:
[code]/tmp/7za x -y -bb1 -o"$HOME/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/MountBlade Warband/Modules" `find . -name 'TLD_3.6_wb_*' | sort -r -u | head -n 1`[/code]
[/olist]

[h2]d) FIXING WARBAND[/h2]
The mod is now technically installed, if the Warband engine worked as intended we shouldn't have to do the following workaround:
[olist]
[*] Fix the garbled font and the collision bodies so that you can actually hit baddies. Just paste this in the Terminal window and press Enter:
[code]cd ~/'Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common' && ln -s 'MountBlade Warband/Modules/TLD/Data' Data[/code]
[*] Close the Terminal window.
[/olist]

That's it. Open Steam like your normally do and use Warband's [i]Configure[/i] utility to change the selected mod to «[i]TLD[/i]». If you followed this guide properly then the game should launch and reach to the main menu.

Have fun in Middle-earth![/quote]



[quote][h1]How to roll these changes back if your game breaks / Uninstalling the mod[/h1]

If you have used previous versions of this guide (or something went wrong and your game no longer works correctly) you will need to verify the integrity of game files to get the original files back, as shown here: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2037-QEUH-3335

Also, delete the [i]Data[/i] folder we added under [i]SteamApps > Common[/i] to fix the garbled fonts in other mods by pasting these lines in your Terminal:
[code]rm ~/'Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Data'
rm ~/'Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/workshop/Data'
[/code]

Keep in mind that by using this newer macOS install method you should be able to keep TLD installed without replacing any game files, meaning that you should also be able to play Native and other mods. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯[/quote]

This is undefined by the Apple GLSL compiler, we are only having trouble with textureGrad, which is 130+, not dFdx:

#ifdef __VERSION__ == "120"
#error asdfasdf VER
#endif

Absolutely insane litany of workarounds for the very limited and old sed from macOS:
sed -i '' -E 's|'$'\xbf\x06''(...)'$'\xbe\x18''|'$'\xbf\x06''\1'$'\xbe\x20''|g' MaB_test

And it actually works. Screw that \1 not defined in the RE under OS X.

 sed -E 's|(</dict>)|\
	<key>SDL_FILESYSTEM_BASE_DIR_TYPE</key>\
	<string>parent</string>\
\1|' Info.plist```
