The 7D2D Mod Launcher - A Mod Launcher for 7 Days to Die

Thanks for this great modlauncher. Since the update I am getting a "DMT not available. Download failed." message. Any ideas what I need to do?

Are you getting this error on a previously installed mod, or a fresh copy of a mod?

 
This is a great tool! but i was wondering if there was a way to download a server modpack, like a collection ive placed on github to make it easier for my players to download the whole set of mods dmt's map and other changes, not looking to get it added to the list but with the use of add my mods option. i see that each directory in your github mod example has a modinfo.xml but wouldnt that go to just the mod folders and not like data or 7DaysToDieServer_Data? just confused is all still looking at all the posts for info on these things

What it seems like you want is a full fledged mod, that displays in the main mod launcher, without it having displayed for everyone. This uses a different type of configuration file.

Take a look at this example: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SphereII/7D2DConfig/master/Alpha18/sphereiimental.xml

This is an example of a server entry that downloads modlets. The https://raw.githubusercontent.com/7D2DMods/Profiles/master/PerformanceTest.txt in the <Download> section contains the "name" of a modlet that is available through the Manage Modlets section.

You can also specify a github repos to download all the modlets and mods directly. Take a look at this profile, which includes 3 full mods that displayed during Alpha 17: https://github.com/SphereII/7D2DConfig/blob/master/Alpha17/sphereiimental.xml

You can make your own configuration file, then hand that out to your players, using the "raw" link. Your players would click on Open URL, and copy and paste your link. It'll then display the mod for them to download and play, without anyone else having access to it.

 
Wows Ty so much that is exactly what i was looking for, certainly would love to make a Vid Tutorial for exactly this =)

 
I never had a problem until this last update. Some help would be greatly appreciated.

I am prepared to help you in any way, but you haven't answered my questions back to you yet.

Ok, probably answered somewhere in this thread, but is there any ways to launch the 7D2D Mod Launcher with the Steam UI, normally we can add any games to steam, but since your launcher isn't a .exe, its not possible to do so with it, I rely on the steam UI to get my FPS in game, I don't want any other FPS indicator or programs.

Sorry for the late reply. You should be able to add it as a non-Steam game, using the exe: C:\Program Files\SphereII Software\7D2D Mod Launcher Installer\7D2DLauncher.exe

 
New Update: 2.1.6

- Added mirror for database

- fixed mod.xml not being picked up

- Fixed broken rss feed

Added more error checking if the database couldn't be downloaded; this should help sort out people that were getting the previous Index errors.

 
After the update to 2.1.6 the mod launcher cannot access the sqllite database. Says it is locked. But it is not. It worked before the update :upset:

 
Thanks but for some reasons, the program isn't a .exe on my desktop, its the first time I deal with a shortcut on my desktop that won't get me the location where the original file is located, any explanation as to why its not a normal shortcut to a .exe that is on the desktop ???

You could still have a reference to the very old one-click installer. That was a strange desktop link, and not a conventional exe.

In Steam, you can click on ADD A GAME, near the bottom of the Library View, then go to BROWSE, and copy and paste the link I posted above. That should add it for you.

 
I got the same error when I used the desktop icon, I am clean installing again to see if it fixed. I will keep you apprised. :Edit it did not fix it, I still get the same message.
