Morning sphereii
Yes I can confirm A16.2 (b7) Will not run with Valmod Overhaul ..
When you load the game you will get a couple " nullreferance .. Error " messages and it hangs at the Loading UI.
I just checked it after see message from EvalleEez
Both Run just fine for A16.1 " Valmod Overhaul and Overhaul Bigger Backpack " I Combo is still good also, but haven't checked because of the empty housing issues.
Just thought I would let you know. Have a good weekend.

Hi,
I read the help file that comes with this for mod authors and I think I get it, the reservations I have are that my tool (BARC) doesn't really belong mixed with game files. So the zip structure wouldn't relate to game file structures. Further complicating it would be that it wouldn't need an entire new copy of the game's files to keep my .exe separate so it'd be wasting space for your advanced users.
Maybe tools like mine just aren't a good fit for this? It'd be pretty cool, I think, if within the xml I could specify that it's a tool and therefore bypasses some of these normal mod behaviors but still give it a unique location to do its own business.
No problem if not though
Thx

BARC looks really cool, and obvious you have put a lot of effort in it. It's a great tool.
You are, sadly, correct that the Mod Launcher isn't the right place to install BARC. It'll always copy the game files over, and assume it's installing some kind of mod, rather than a Utility itself. It can enable certain in-game tools, like applying herrophl's mods to open up the in-game prefab, for example.
I would love to have the ability to back up game files, and allow folder-specific saves, so that the players don't load up a Valmod save with something like True Survival SDX.
Thank you for your suggestion about having a tool section, but I'm not sure if it'll be the right place for it. I'll think about it though.
I kinda figured and it's okay nice mod launcher btw! It's a lot smoother than I expected, even for mod authors. And I might have to steal your idea about the help file, it would clean up the static notes covering my gui.
What are you looking to backup exactly? My source code is open and I don't mind helping you navigate the mess if you want to backup active things or something.
Thanks for considering

Hey Guys,
Everytime I load up the mod launcher when it gets to the game main menu it says 'steam client is not running or no connection possible ". Any idea why this might be happening? I've even gone as far as reinstalling steam itself and it hasn't fixed the problem.
Any suggestions?

The mod launcher doesn't automatically start steam. If you don't have steam set to automatically start when your computer starts then the game has no way of verifying the game. Just make sure steam is running in the background before you run your game from the modlauncher and you should be ok.

Steam is running dude! I'm staring at the friends list when i launch the game waiting for it to change my status to "is playing 7 days to die" but it never changes to that status, just boots the game and then gives me the error message when the main menu for the game has loaded.

Any anti-spyware or anti-virus running? It could be that an anti-virus program flagged the Launcher, and is not letting its process see that Steam is running.
The Launcher executes the 7daystodie.exe once the mod is installed. If you go to the directory itself, can you start the game successfully by double clicking on the exe?
