Romero Mod - A game mode/suite of zombie tweaks

[Bigrowdy]

I would also add that having a basic understanding of the mods you are installing helps in the long run.  Dealing with multiple errors because you just throw every mod into the folder not determining if they been tested to work with the current version or conflicts with other mods out there can become a long drawn out activity of frustration and asking why your game is not working correctly.

I use the launcher to create copies of the main 7D2D game, but I do the manual install of the mods.

I have been modding games since 2001. So i have complete knowledge of what I am doing. Also I have never had a single problem using the mod launcher. Not one. 

I really didn't expect this resistance for such a great tool. The romero mod is there when you DL it on the launcher its just not in the right folder structure.

Guess I'll fix it myself. Or stick with the mods that are already working perfectly fine.

Can I assume then that you wont bother with the mod launcher for A20 Darkness Falls?

I'll be making and providing an XML file for the launcher because people complain if I don't.

But my stance of "Don't use it. Manually install" will always remain, and will always be my first recommendation in tech support cases.

It was my favorite mod. On version 19.6 everything was fine. Now on 20 unfortunately I have a blood moon on the 7th day, all animals and a spiders appear. It should be? I have disabled blood moon in options. Shots to the head, and the rest are working. Installed manually. Any ideas?

No because it's a C# patch to make it work.

khaine letting you know GrandSpartan may have run into a bug on your mod he had an actual horde night and he isnt sure what happened just lettign you know

I've been trying now for 3hrs to install Romero Mod from the Launcher, both the older version and the new one.  I've used my GF's machine to install on there too (she runs the games) but I'm now so frustrated as it is only installing A20.3 Vanilla.

AAaaaaaarrrrrgggggghhhhhh!!!!

Please, can someone help?

Thank you

Make that 6 more attempts trying to follow instructions from various sources including the video Khaine did.  Instructions say 2 folders including Data file but that isn't in the Zip File.

Windows PC, tried A20.1 Stable as well as A20.3 (I've seen Grand Spartan using A20.3).

I can see no instructions directly related to Romero, only Darkness Falls but same/similar principle.

I feel really lame here.

1. Go to the folder path that Romero Mod was installed to

2. create a folder named "Mods"

3. go to .\TempMods\0-RomeroModA20.git\

4. copy and paste all folders/files from above to your new Mods folder

 

[Gamida]

This is what mine looks like...



Well if you click on the mods folder it actually shows the two extra files but this was just to show that it all just goes under the Mods folder as above.

Thank you but this is not making sense to me.

Using the Mod Launcher, I used Steam Version of Alpha 20 and another time I used one already create as the base to use.  It was saved to D:\7D2D\Alpha20\Romero.

(a)  I also downloaded the mod directly just in case, which came through as RomeroModA20-main with a folder inside this called RomeroModA20-main and inside this, see attached.  There was nothing saying what you have said above.

(b)  I have found the TempMods folder and done as you said and it loaded the normal 7D2D game.  I launched this from both the Launcher and the .exe file within the main folder just to make sure.

(c)  I have already tried putting the downloaded file in (a) into a "Mods" folder as per Khaine's instructions on this discussion.

I know I'm missing something, this is why I've written the above as I have.  Going to try again and think of something I've not done correctly.

Thank you for your input Stoudtlr, it helped me look harder and better.

===========================================================

Thank you, this makes sense.  Going to try it if doesn't work this time.

Very much appreciated Gamida.  It may be that I've used the whole folder rather than just these which is causing the issue although the Mod Launcher didn't have all of these folders in it.

That may have been your problem...too many folders...Just move all those files above directly into the Mods folder in your game. That should be it.

 

[Gamida]

Here is my full folder for the game. As you can see there is the Mods folder to the left and at the right you can see all the folders/files in it. That is all I needed to play it.

One thing you may notice and it doesn't affect the game is I have my game folder called A20 Romero Mod as I have multiple copies of the game on my drive. Yours will most likely just say 7 Days To Die



Sorry if it seems like I am throwing so much info at you but I just hate someone having a problem playing this game because of technical snafu. You should be killing zombies not going through this.

On a fresh install of Romero from the launcher your folder structure looks like the below picture.  Notice you have a TempMods folder, but no Mods folder? That's the issue.  Create the "Mods" folder.

Then copy the below files from .\TempMods\0-RomeroModA20.git into the "Mods" folder that you created.

Giving this a go Gamida

Stoudtlr, I put one in, mine showed as yours is but it didn't work.  Doing it with new install, follow the layout of Gamida's and make a cup of tea.

Will let you know how badly I do  and how the folder structure ends up if one of the ways does work.

You two are stars.

Fingers crossed for you.

Also another thing not in my pic is the files below the folder MonoBleedingEdge



They would be there anyway and wasn't relevant to what I was showing also I didn't want to make the pic huge

If it still doesn't work see if it is possible to post a pic of you file structure showing the Mods folder.

 

[iz2tricky]

Yeah, it worked.

Looks like it may have worked previously but I thought it had frozen, this time was much quicker and the fear was not there.  Did the same as you guys said.

BRILLIANT.

It was the too many folders and not enough patience.

Thank you

 

[Gamida]

Am very glad it worked out. Now get out there and survive!

 

[KuriousTurtle]

I've downloaded manually and using the launcher using A20.4(b41) and I get failed localization errors. I can play but trying to access the Video options gives another error and i have to force close the game. haven't tested if mod works or not though.

 

[KhaineGB]

I need to test it on 20.4. Might be a couple of small tweaks that I need to do.

Just haven't had the time yet.

 

[KhaineGB]

Right, finally had some time.

This now works properly on 20.4 and should also work properly with the launcher.
