@Chr1Z Could you please advise how to

[surreal stirrup]

Let's move this into a thread since it's only tangentially related to #scripting

I've been a collaborator for the tool, but I am not super proficient with Go tbh

And I have never used a Mac, so that also doesn't help

Does the process have permissions to write files?

I can forward this to the main dev though, I am sure he would have an answer haha

Ah I am just seeing that it worked partially for you, so permissions shouldn't be a problem

Unless "long file paths" are an issue for Mac?

@surreal stirrup I think I found a workaround — I first run the reverse, then after it fails, I grant access, and then run reverse again... and grant access again after that 😆

[surreal stirrup]

Ah okay so it's about permissions

I'm not sure how permissions are managed on Mac 😅
Maybe you can run it with elevated permissions directly?

@surreal stirrup thank you very much! sudo hepled.

[surreal stirrup]

Nice, that's good to know!

FYI the command line is a bit tedious to use, so I usually add VS Code build tasks for the "bundling" und "decomposing":

Is it possible to do the same, but for Atom?

[surreal stirrup]

My google search tells me that Atom has "Tasks" too, but I have not used them so I can't tell you what they look like

I can recommend you to switch to VS Code though 😉

[light adder]

I’ll give it a try. To be honest, I’ve had an issue with VSCode — it wouldn’t run my large mod. After switching to Atom, the issue was resolved. Maybe I should give it another chance.

@surreal stirrup do you use this extension?

[surreal stirrup]

You don't need an extension if you just rebuild the savegame 😉
It also includes script files

You should get the general Lua language server though

Gotcha, thanks @surreal stirrup !

Hello @surreal stirrup

The command doesn't work 😭
~/TTSModManager/TTSModManager --moddir="/Users/yurii/AH/TTS/AH"

the last message.

2025/06/10 22:29:42 printMod(...) : open .: is a directory

[surreal stirrup]

Can you add some more details? What are you trying to do for example?

[light adder]

I'm trying to understand how TTSModManager works.

1. I used the next command:

  --reverse \
  --moddir="/Users/yurii/AH/TTS/AH" \
  --modfile="/Users/yurii/Library/Tabletop Simulator/Saves/AH/1.0.json"

as a result I have objects in separate JSON files.

2. I have changed a few files and the next step is to test them in TTS.

3. So next step is merge all jsons in one file to get output.json and use this command
   ~/TTSModManager/TTSModManager --moddir="/Users/yurii/AH/TTS/AH"
   but in the end see next message and no file output.json, it looks like TTS Mod Manager takes wrong path.

Try specifying the output file:

sudo ~/TTSModManager/TTSModManager
--moddir="/Users/yurii/AH/TTS/AH"
--modfile="/Users/yurii/Library/Tabletop Simulator/Saves/AH/1.1.json"
