Yeah you have to have the DMT mod folder outside of the game folder. Then DMT copies the enabled mods into the games mod folder. it's the only way to have an enabled/disabled system atm

So put the DMT mods in something like C:\Games\7DaysMods and you should be good to go

Not in steam apps/common/7days to die?

I created a folder inside 7 days to die for dmt and called it 7DaysMods

my mods folder is also in the 7 days to die folder

 
Sorry for the noob question, but does DMT in any way facilitate saving and loading POI's while in a game, not the world editor?

 
DMT 2.3 works with A20 but is no longer needed.

You can build DLL's in Visual Studio. I still use DMT just because it's easier.

 
Version 2.3 will work but a lot of features are disabled in A20+ 

Now we have Harmony support built in to the game by default it's time to phase out DMT and move to the new system. 

I think SphereII is working on an example project that modders can download to start understanding the new layout and workflow 

Existing mods will need to be updated and if you get stuck or have questions there's a lot of stuff available on Guppy's discord: https://discord.gg/cN8fQ6N7Js

Do you have .net 4.7.2 installed? 

If you're playing Alpha 20 then DMT is no longer needed for modding. Check with the mod maker to see if they've converted their mod to the new A20 method (A20 has native mod support for Harmony now) 

Cheers,

Been trying to use DMT and everytime I try to build, it just keeps spitting out the same error. I used DMT before and it worked in A19, but that was on an old version of my computer. (Also this entirely breaks my game forcing me to verify integrity of the files, otherwise anytime I launch the game, my console gets spammed with "Object reference not set to an instance of an object")

I honestly have no clue what I'm doing wrong since this is a fresh install and I tried a couple things to no success.

Hi finaphar,

In A20 the Pimps added Harmony support into the game so DMT shouldn't be needed if the mod has been updated to use the built-in modding tools now. A lot of DMT features are disabled in A20. Check with each mod post and there's usually a "how to install" section explaining what to do. 

For earlier versions and from your picture you don't have any of the mods enabled (the checkboxes on the left) 

 
For anyone running down the same Google rabbit hole I've been down for weeks, trying to find info on how to use harmony with alpha 20. What you need to do is get on Guppy's discord (linked below):







Then you need to search for sphereii's post (shown below) from 12/9/2021. It'll tell you to use Visual Studio 2019. Once you download the Mods.zip folder, it has a readme with explicit instructions

hi, i`ve just installed the latest DMT and i`m having issues when it comes to the build. i keep getting an error.

The Assembly-CSharp.dll file has already been patched by SDX so cannot be used as a backup. Reset your game files and try again. process exited with error code - 1. Build failed

Hi Chuckiewokie,

To reset your game files head to steam and verify the integrity of the install (right click the game -> Properties -> local files). This will replace any vanilla game file. 

If you're on the latest Alpha then DMT isn't needed as they've built in harmony support now. You'll need an A20 compatible version of the mod and just drop it in the mods folder. DMT is only for people wanting to run mods on the older alphas now. 

Cheers,

Hal
