Thanks. I fixed the other configs, so when we get you up and running, the Compo Pack section will work for you as well.
Since you have the option of Launching from Steam, you must be using the Simple Mode?
In Simple Mod, all the mods get installed in the same default Steam Folder. What I think is causing the problem is that the Server DLL mod for the bigger back packs is installed, which is killing the game.
So let's get you fixed up.
1) You'll want to clean out and delete your 7 Days to Die in your Steam folder, and re-validate it.
a) Right click on "7 Days to Die" in Steam, and click on Properties
b) Click on Local Files
c) Click on Browse Local Files
d) select everything in the folder that pops up, and delete it.
e) Back in Steam, click on Verify Integriy of Game Cache. This will re-download the game fresh.
Once that's complete, we'll switch you over to Advanced Mode.
2) In the 7D2D Mod Launcher, click on Advanced
3) Select the Mod you want ( Valmod Expansion Big BackPack, for example).
4) By the Destination Folder for Mods, click on the blue folder, and select a folder where the mods will be. Something like D:\Launcher, or C:\Launcher
5) Once Selected, you'll be able to choose "Copy from an existing Copy". This will copy the game over into a new folder.
6) Once completed, you'll see where the game is installed, example: D:\Launcher\7Days2Mod\Valmod_Expansion_Big_Backpack
a) if you see a \TempMods on the end, click on another mod, then back to that one.
7) Click on Play.
Repeat for all the different Mods you want to play.
The reason that Advanced is more appropriate for you, is that you may be switching mods back and forth. Some mods will have a bigger back pack mod, while others may not, so by separating them, you'll save yourself headaches if it fails on you.
I can report that worked. My guess something got corrupted outside of the files I normally keep cleaned up. Would explain never getting advanced mode to work and the trouble I have been having. Thanks for all your help and if I run into anything else I will be sure to let you know.

Hi Im still not having any luck starting valmod OH through the launcher... I uninstalled everything and deleted all the folders and applications involving 7DTD on steam and the launcher..
I have just now installed the launcher and 7dtd 15.1 through steam, downloaded valmod oh to E drive through the launcher.. but just as before, 7dtd starts for a sec then closes.
Here are the log files incase you can see anything..

Okay great. So this line in the log you sent me:
E:/7DTD_Mod_Launcher/7Days2Mod/Valmod_Overhaul/7DaysToDie_Data/../Data/Bundles/BlockTextureAtlasesD
Notice the D at the end? The Server's Assembly-CSharp.dll calls that file, which implies that the Launcher is grabbing Valmar's server DLL and installing it.
So let's try this:
1) Click on File, click on Clear -> Clear Mod History.
2) Click on File, Load Defaults
3) Click on 7Days2Mod/Valmar-Overhaul again.
4) Delete Mod
Then go through the process of making it again, and we'll see if it's different this time. Maybe your client didn't receive the new Config settings.

Hi again, I followed your instructions but unfortunately the game starts up for a few seconds and closes again..
But, I decided to install another version of valmod too see how that went, the Vamlod OH Big Backpack, and the game loaded up,
I entered my save world and all seems fine..
It would be cool to see what is wrong when I try the regualar overhaul.. in the meantime I can play the big backpack version for now..

No need to aplogise, the slight problems Ive been having, and others in the thread, you've been all over it quickly.. thats very much appreciated.
And thanks again for the launcher, its made playing mods so easy compared to copy n paste over vanilla and having to uninstall to play other mods...
