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

I don't launch the game from the mod launcher because I always get to the main menu screen and get this message saying steam client is not running no connection possible. So I add the 7 days to die exe from the file where the mod was installed to my steam library as a non steam game. This works fine for the smx bigger backpack mod but won't work for valmod. Can I not install more then one mod? I use advanced mode so it copies the 7 days to die game file and installs the mod on the file copy. So I don't think I can do what your asking me to do. Sorry if I confused you.

Yes, you can install the more than one mod. Have you tried adding the 7d2dmodlauncher.exe to Steam as a non-steam game? Then start the mod launcher through steam?

 
Just downloaded and installed the Mod Launcher. I love it so far and the setup was extremely easy.

If I could give you one piece of advice, it would be to change the default directory from being directly below C:\. That is a bad place to put files and could eventually lead to issues with antivirus software deleting/quarantining files. AV software is a lot more picky when scanning files that don't go into the normal directory structure in Windows.

I know I can change it but I didn't notice until after I had installed several mods. It's not a huge deal but it really isn't the proper place to create directories.

Thanks for all the work I'm sure this took. It is a really nice program and looks great.

Ok so I fixed the not being able to play the game through the mod launcher thing. I am still getting the errors and the game starts in vanilla as though the mod is not installed.

The C:\7D2D was selected because everyone has a C:\. It does have it's issues, to be honest, but it's a consistent place. The Anti-virus seems to be targetting the actually installer, vs where it's installing at.

Can you click on the Disable SSL check box, restart the Mod Launcher, and try again?

If that doesn't work, check Direct Download, and try Play again.

Yeah, after I posted it I tried to think of where I would've defaulted it to if I was writing it and decided that I would've probably chosen the steamapps directory which is a MUCH worse place to use as default so straight under C:\ is probably the safest choice by far. :)

Like I said, I really love the app so thanks again for all the hard work you've put into it.

No problem. I'm glad you find it useful

 
Looks like your files are corrupted. Try this:
1) Delete Mod for True Survival in the Mod Launcher

2) In Steam, right click on 7 Days to Die, and go to Properties

3) Click on the Local Files tab

4) Click on Browse Files

5) Delete all the files in the explorer window that pops up.

6) Back in steam, click on Verify Integrity of the files

7) Once done, go back into the Mod Launcher, and retry the mod.

3) Clickon I

Click on I??

 
No idea why the "3) Clickon I" was there. Disregard that step :)

Lol I didn't even notice it was numerically out of order for that last step lol Ok, Anyways, I verified the integrity of the files, now it's all redownloading. So, I retry installing the mods after the files finish redownloading?

 
Before trying to load the game, do I still enable EAC? Also, how do I add it to my steam library as non game?

No EAC.

You can add the 7d2dmodlauncher.exe to Steam as a non-steam game, and it should work well for you.

 
That resolution (1024x759) is what I use for all my other games though. My monitor isn't that big and that res fits my screen.

Seems like I may have to wait until I can get a bigger monitor or True Survival updates... :(

You have a GTX 1060, and only run at 1024x768?

 
I can run better, but my monitor is a small tv since my son threw his rock hard sippy cup at my monitor... the 1024x759 res is so everything fits the screen...
