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

i do have another question, when i go to load other mods (on my computer) it always seems to launch TrueSurvival, i wanted to try other mods out individually, but kept getting loaded into TS. Also, for some reason if i go to simple mode, all the mods have the green check next to them. Is that supposed to happen?

Simple Mode installs the mod in your steam folder, over top of any other mods. It doesn't really clean up after itself, since it really doesn't know what the mods are actually changing.

The Green icon just indicates that the folder is ready to have the mod installed, ie 7daystodie.exe exists. If it's red, in Advanced Mode, it means the target folder doesn't exist, and the Launcher will create a copy of the game before applying the mod.

If all mods are loading up True Survival, I'm wondering if True Survival is installed in your Steam folder. You can go to your steam folder, and just delete the 7days to die folder, then have steam re-validate and re-download everything.

If you re-validate without deleting, it will just update and reset all the files from Steam; it won't remove extra files it finds.

Thanks, i'll have to try that, i got her game loaded up and am still receiving the same, error, so im going to just start over from a blank slate and hope for the best, if i get it working, i'll let you know just in case you find other people in the future with this problem.

 
@Sphereii
It may be time to get rid of Simple Mode. Just a thought (that I'm sure you've had).

Simple mode wasn't added until much further in development at the request of a modder who felt it would be simpler. However, SDX and other complicated mods basically means the Simple mode is past its time to shine, and isn't practical anymore.

I don't know if anyone is using it or not.

I have a question .. Isn't the launcher suppose to auto update to newest version of mod automatically??

I've been playing "War of the Walkers" and I have noticed a newer version has been out for awhile .. my version is 4.4.2(Stable) r4/14/2017

and the newer version is 4.4.3(Stable) r4/20/2017 OR does it only update for a new game and not a game that is running ??

Hope you can help on this ... Other than that everything is still running great. Enjoy

Hey gpcstargate

Glad it's working well for you. The Mod Launcher updates every time you play, and I think you are playing the latest version it has access too.

I looked at War Of the Walkers, and it's pointing to this download location: https://github.com/dwallorde/WaroftheWalkersMod/

I'm thinking maybe dwallorde hasn't updated that link with the new version of the mod yet. Might be worth mentioning to him; maybe he's forgotten, or maybe he has changed his download links. If he has changed his download link, then I can update where the Mod Launcher is looking.

 
For me or you too say something to him. I can if you wish Thanks

I'll stay on for a bit and refresh page.

EDIT .... I COPIED and pasted to his site, Hope that is OK

No problem. I'll watch his thread in case he has any questions. He created a special repos for the Mod Launcher, so it was probably overlooked.

THANK YOU for posting to dwallorde site .. hopefully we can get it straighten out.

I don't want to update from his site .. because it could adversely hurt the launcher or the game.

Anyway have a great weekend and Enjoy :tickled_pink:

 
quick question as i didn't see the answer in my brief read through of this post

but can you select multiple mods to combine them to launch in the game playthrough?

like adding ValMods and Prefabs mods?

Hey NeKo

The Mod Launcher won't automatically combine different mods of your choosing. The mods are complicated and have a lot of links to all the files. However, I have made (and tested) different combinations already.

If you look under "7Days2Mod CompoPack, then you'll see Valmar's various mods that have been setup to work with the CompoPack.

 
hi guys, I am having trouble getting the 7D2D Mod launcher to work. It doesn't seem to want to copy my files. I am a novice when it comes to computers so bare with me please. I keep getting this??

INFO 1 _7D2DLauncher.frmMain - Waiting for Background Process to complete: Copying c:\\program files (x86)\\steam\steamapps\common\7 Days To Die\ to C:\7D2D\Dawn_of_the_New_Apocalypse\DONA_True_Survival_SDX_PVE_Server

INFO 1 _7D2DLauncher.frmMain - Backgroud Task Failed

I am sure I am doing something dumb here that's hopefully obvious to others

please help

Hey man, sorry you are having trouble. I didn't see this post until now.

For errors, this is a new one for me. Did you have the game already open, like running 7daystodie.exe?

 
hi thanks for your reply

No the game was open. I didn't even have steam open. I've tried it multiple ways and nothing makes a difference.

very frustrated right now but I appreciate your reply

cheers

Was there anything else in the log file? Other than background task failed? Which version of Windows are you running? Do you have local administrator privs?

 
What are the version named to download from steam ?

For example I tryed Latest but it doesn't download the experimental b113 one :(

Also if you don't set a path in copy from, then it generate an exception in download from steam.

"Latest" is the latest stable version, which is Alpha 15.2. you want latest_experimental for b113.

I'll take a look at the exception and fix it for the next release :)
