I had to figure this out myself a few months ago, and have been wanting to share this with any Mac gamers/modders who need to set up an "fs_game" folder.  For more info on why you might need to use an "fs_game" folder, see here:

http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&source=hp&biw=910&bih=333&q=fs_game+folder&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=

 

For example, to set up an fs_game folder for Call of Duty 2, you need to:

 

1. In a Finder window locate the application called "Call of Duty 2 Multiplayer" (its inside the "Call of Duty 2" folder).  Then right-click and select "Show Package Contents" on the application called "Call of Duty 2 Multiplayer".  Now a new finder window opens up to show the what is inside: you will see a folder called "Contents".

 

2. Inside this folder go to "Content/MacOS/Call of Duty 2 Multiplayer".  Right click on "Call of Duty 2 Multiplayer" and select "Get Info".  Now the info window pops up.  Look in the General section, specifically at the Where info (the file location info).  You need to write this down manually since you cannot copy/paste from the Get Info window.  So for example:

On my computer the file called "Call of Duty 2 Multiplayer" is located here:

"/Volumes/CENSORED HD/CENSORED GAMES MORE/COD2/Call of Duty 2/Call of Duty 2/Call of Duty 2 Multiplayer.app/Contents/MacOS"

I know, I know its a ridiculously deep folder structure.  So for you it might be more simple like:

"/Volumes/YOUR HD/Applications/Call of Duty 2/Call of Duty 2/Call of Duty 2 Multiplayer.app/Contents/MacOS"

So write down your file's location in textedit as you see it. 

 

3. Now that you have this typed out in textedit, you need to re-type (edit) it so that all the spaces are translated into "" slashes.

For example if a file called "Cat" was in the folder "Up the tree", it would have looked liked this in the Get Info window:

"/Volumes/YOUR HD/Applications/Up the tree/Cat"

But now in TextEdit, you need to replace all the spaces with "" slashes, like this:

"/Volumes/YOURHD/Applications/Upthetree/Cat"

Or in the context of my COD2:

"/Volumes/CENSOREDHD/CENSOREDGAMESMORE/COD2/CallofDuty2/CallofDuty2/CallofDuty2Multiplayer.app/Contents/MacOS"

 

4. Great job!  Let's get ready to make the fs_game folder.  Type at the end of your long file location description the following " +set fs_game PANDA", but don't forget the space before the "+", like this:

"/Volumes/CENSOREDHD/CENSOREDGAMESMORE/COD2/CallofDuty2/CallofDuty2/CallofDuty2Multiplayer.app/Contents/MacOS +set fs_game PANDA"

Of course, you don't have to write "PANDA", so instead you could write "mymods" or something really not unique like "testfsgamefolder".  But keep in mind that if other clients connect to a server running out of your fs_game folder, they WILL automatically download small client-side files into a folder named identically like your fs_game folder.  So, name creatively and without fear of shame!

 

5.  Right on!  Ok now open up the application Terminal, its in the Applications/Utilities folder.  Don't be scared.  Simply copy and paste your file location description from TextEdit into Terminal.  Press Enter.  Wait while COD2 (for example only) loads up.  You can now quit COD2. But don't quit Terminal.

 

6. Almost done!  Now we need to Save As within Terminal.  A window will pop up.  Type in Save As: "PANDA" or "thenameofyourfsgamefolder".  Select from Where: "Desktop" or where ever you want to save it (the save location does not effect the content of the file you are about to save).  Click the option Execute this command (specify complete path) and then Copy/Paste the same file location description you just recently pasted into the main screen of Terminal (in step 5).  Make sure that Execute command in a shell is selected (should be by default).  Click the Save button.

 

7.  Find your newly created "fs_game" folder.  You can find your "fs_game" folder inside your "Call of Duty 2 Data" folder.  This is going to be at the same level as your "main" folder, but not inside it.  So for example if you chose a name for your "fs_game" folder like "PANDA", you'll find it in this directory:

"/Volumes/YOUR HD/Applications/Call of Duty 2/Call of Duty 2/Call of Duty 2 Data/PANDA".

 

8.  Locate the new executable file (you just saved in step 6).  For example to your "Desktop" you saved "PANDA".  You will find it, but it now has a file extension of "PANDA.term" (perhaps file extensions are currently hidden from your Finder view settings, don't worry its not necessary).

 

9. You can Copy/Paste this executable file ("to any place on your Hard Drive, and this file will still perform the same function.  I moved mine from the Desktop to inside my actual "fs_game folder", which you found in step 7.

 

Congrats you have created an "fs_game" folder (on a Mac).  Happy modding and server hosting!
