Red Eagle LXIX's A17 Modlet Collection (UI, Blocks, Quests)

Red Eagle -- Thank you so much for your hard work on this! I really appreciate it. I'm looking to utilize your Modlet collection in a Dockerfile to quickly and easily build a 7DTD server that contains your Modlet collection.
I noticed that it seems that your download link changes as you publish new releases of your Modlet collection. This makes it very difficult to write a script to automatically download and install your Modlet collection, as the download link within the script would have to be updated each time you release a new version.

This problem would be resolved for me if you released your modlet collection via github. You could still provide a static URL link via your first post here, but everyone could download it from github instead of Dropbox. From the perspective of anyone downloading your modlet collection via browser, it would actually be more streamlined than Dropbox as Github allows direct link & download of a file without a popup link like Dropbox's. Github is totally free and there is even free GitHub Desktop software that can be run from Windows to make it easy to upload new versions of your modlets, if that is your OS. You could publish different releases of your Modlet collection through github, which is how you could differentiate different branches of your collection for the different game server versions. Github was designed for the managing software releases, which when you think about it, is more or less what your Modlet collection is.

I know I may be in the far minority here using Docker to create a 7DTD server. But my goal is to make it easier for people to create 7DTD modded servers, and try to take some of the technical complexity out of the process. Even if you don't switch to Github, I implore you to please consider at least changing to a service that would allow you to create a file something like "latest.zip" where the download URL would not change with each release but would always refer to the latest version. Github would do this for you automatically via its master branch raw URL to your download .zip file. As time moves on, I am confident more people will be using Docker and others will encounter the same challenge I have.

Other than my recently adding the ?dl=1 to the links to make it easier for folks downloading (avoids the popup), the links are the same as published 2018-11-19 (for the mods that were around then).

Example of one of the most changed modlets (URL in code tags so readable):

Red Eagle -- I did eventually find a way to download your collection via CLI. Thank you. I appreciate you taking the time to confirm for me your download link doesn't really change. That really does help me.

In case anyone else runs into this challenge, I solved it like this:

curl -L $DROPBOX_DOWNLOAD_URL > RELXIX.zip

Glad to hear. My own fault for the ?dl=1 thing. I had a privacy filter that was stripping that tag, had to add an exception for dropbox once I saw it mentioned in another thread. Now that whole annoying popup avoided and quicker downloads for folks hitting the links. :)

 
Hi!

It appears the trader-related modlets are causing errors in 17.2 stable... any prognose for an update? :)

I really like the RELXIX_Quests_TraderAdvertisements Modlet :D

Hi I get this error when trying to start the game. Not sure why I've used these mods before.

Here's a dropbox link you can see it better

I would verify integrity of your Game files:

Steam Client > Games Library > Right-Click 7 Days To Die > Click Properties > Click Local Files Tab > Click Verify Game Integrity

Reasons:

  • None of the mods listed in the screenshot touch anything with BloodMoonFrequency
  • Blood Moon Frequency as a setting did not exist on Alpha 17b240 - This suggests to me that you have reverted from Alpha 17.2b27 to Alpha 17.0(b240). Possibly some file(s) was(were) not properly downgraded.
  • Check other mods for references to that Alpha 17.2+ setting (I see you do have other mods installed).

the mods under UIMenu like drop on death nothing and etc dont seem to work if current versions of SMX are installed, (used to work with my older copys before i got newer ones of smx) and i suspect next update of 7D2D might make them not work either (console log thing opened up when i got to main menu to test it)

 
server installation

Hello, I have some questions about the installation of the mod, how can I install it on a hired server? for example in nitrado, is the installation the same or do I have to do it in another way to make it work? a greeting.

 
All of these should be, looking at them...

Create a /mods folder in the root game folder.

Put the mods in there.

/Gamefolder/mods/modfolder/stuff

 
they did work for A17 on dedicated as I was running them, that being said do you know if they will work for A18

 
Put some of the UI mods on my server and was getting errors on runup:

Probably something I am just missing.

Thanks.

You were just missing what it said in the op is all Lol

[Copied From OP]

These modlets all contain additional debugging in the form of a purposefully generated WRN event that will show Yellow in the console similar to the below entry. This allows me to know the file was successfully read and process by 7D2D, what mod the file was from, and which particular file in that mod:

WRN XML patch for "XUi_Menu/windows.xml" from mod "RELXIX_UIMENU_DropOnDeathNothing" did not apply: <remove xpath="/Successfully_Loaded[@modname=RELXIX_UIMENU_DropOnDeathNothing][@version=1.0.3][@filename=\Config\XUi_Menu\windows.xml]"

Alrighty then... thank you very much for taking the time. Sorry I didn't catch that.

Is it possible to remove the other hunger and thrist bars that doesn't show overfill or change so the overfill bar shows first? it's annoying to have to change that everytime you join the world.

 
I will check the trader related modlets soon. In the interim here's a new modlet of interest -- Tested on a new game only.:

RELXIX_UIMENU_LandClaimCountSettings

  • Alpha 17.2b20 Experimental - This adds an option to the menu for Land Claim Count with options '1, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, 100, 150, 200' as Land Claim Block Count choices on the Multiplayer Tab with the rest of the Land Claim options. These options are also added as available filter choices in the server browser.

Does this still work in A18? Getting the following warnings on startup (note: not the intended debug) trying to use on an existing SP game:

WRN XML patch for "XUi_Menu/windows.xml" from mod "RELXIX_UIMENU_LandClaimCountSettings" did not apply: <insertBefore xpath="/windows/window[@name=newContinueGame]/rect[@name=tabs]/rect[@name=tabsContents]/rect[@tab_key=Multiplayer]/grid/gameoption[@name=LandClaimSize]"

WRN XML patch for "XUi_Menu/windows.xml" from mod "RELXIX_UIMENU_LandClaimCountSettings" did not apply: <insertBefore xpath="/windows/window[@name=serverBrowser]/panel[@name=serverfilters]/panel[@controller=TabSelector]/rect[@name=tabsContents]/rect[@tab_key=Multiplayer]/grid/browsergameoptioncombined[@name=LandClaimSize]"

Same result on new game.

TIA

The code got updated in A18 so the code is old, if you open the original file and search for the LandClaimSize you can find the new code for the @tab_key, the new code should say something like xuiGamesettingMultiplayer. That was the only thing that broke the mod I believe. If you can't find it just follow the code paths in the mod file they should reflect to the original windows.xml.
