   # This is an example of how I run this script, the UnpackedData folder on D: is where I've extracted all the relevant .pak files from the game using the multi mod tool, the second parameter is just a template for the output, and the last is where to put the generated output
   # py .\mod_xml.py run D:\ExportTool-v1.18.2\UnpackedData output_template_progressions.xml .\FeatsPointsCarry\Public\FeatsPointsCarry\Progressions\Progressions.lsx

This is an example of the output_template_progressions.xml I use for populating with the results:

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
   <save>
       <version major="4" minor="0" revision="10" build="400"/>
       <region id="Progressions">
           <node id="root">
               <children />
           </node>
       </region>
   </save>
