Writing config to /Users/username/.minecraft/mods/SMGUI/SMGUI.properties
### FAILED ###/Users/username/.minecraft/mods/SMGUI/SMGUI.properties (No such file or directory)
On OS X the Minecraft directory is in Application Support and does not have a '.' in the beginning of the folder name. So this is a silly error, easily solved.
Either write to the file at "~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/mods/SMGUI/SMGUI.properties" for OS X, or, since you instruct everyone to unpack the archive in the minecraft folder, write to a relative path of "mods/SMGUI/SMGUI.properties"
Sweet! Really glad to see Simple Map resurrected - I hadn't gotten a chance to try it before and can't wait.
One idea for a future version is something that helps you return to points of interest. The compass points back to spawn, but many of us wish there was a way to find other places in the game, besides building ugly obnoxious sky-scrapers or a whole lotta signs. Simple Map could include a way to make the block you currently stand on a point of interest, and create one of 9 different colored points that would then appear on the mini-map, and persist on the side of the mini-map when further way.
Likewise, if you have a compass in your inventory, could it be shown on or below the mini-map?
Another idea: the mini-map wouldn't be automatically shown with this Simple Map mod - instead you have to craft the map out of paper, and the mini-map would only show when the map item is in your inventory. (Maybe then combining flowers or mushrooms with the map item would trigger the point-of-interest feature - instead of colored POIs, they could be icons of mushrooms or flowers, or whatever you combined with the map)
I love the idea of being something of a cartographer inside the game - although a mini-map isn't exactly the same as a map…

Couldn't we just add a class tot he server that would check for the presence and valid size of those files? If the client is using any modified classes then they of course will be lacking them in order for the mods to work.
MonkeyX, that wouldn't work: the client can always be modded to fool the server. Notch can make it harder to cheat, ban accounts known to cheat to discourage it, but can never make it impossible.
I'm working on a single install tool for the mods. As soon as that is done I'll pack 'em all in. I may even throw in some of the other modders mods that could benefit (with the exception of texture mods). It will also save time and typing in installation instructions!
This will be a very good thing! We've needed a cross-platform tool that all modders can rely on to simplify patching; kudos for working on this. I hope you can incorporate the HD texture fix, and manager for texture packs.
Very smart, great idea! I really like the look of Mixcraft with the overlay (but can't decide if I want to give up Frenden's pack). Thanks for sharing.
Eather Pandora's Blox or the Okami one in my opinion
These sound like the most unique options. The other categories have been done by others, but I'm still looking for the perfect pack myself, so anything top quality is what I'm interested in. Good luck!

What an interestingly awesome idea!

In SMGUI.properties, just set either plugin to false if you don't want it.

Is there a way to manually fix this oversight?
Thanks for the mods!

Read the thread; installation instructions are immediately obvious…

It's not exactly easy for just anyone, but if you want to run MCEdit on a Mac you certainly can after getting Python working with extra libraries: http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=15522
You'll also find TreasureChest helpful for backing up your Worlds: http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=37599
Just found this thread offering a Mac native map visualizer, MCMap Live, looks great: http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=54784
