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

ok, I think I figured it out.. sort of stupid actually..

for some reason the launcher was not the current version and was not asking to update.

it was version 1.0.4.6, hey what do I know that it needed a new version. I uninstalled it.

and deleted every thing left over from that version.

and got version 1.0.5.2 running and now it will do the sync without errors.

I had the dot net install 4.7.2 etc before.. for what ever reason nothing indicated it needed a newer launcher version.

If you had added the 7d2dlauncher (the desktop shortcut) to Steam, the updates may have been blocked. If you download the 7d2dmodlauncher.exe from the first post, you can add that to steam, and it'll allow updates.

 
I 've been having a problem with the Mod Launcher. I click the desktop icon, it does its updater thing then nothing. It's been 3 days and i can't get it to work. I am running Win 10 and downloaded the 7d2dmodlauncher.exe. Any help is appreciated, Thank you

Sorry for the trouble. The most common issue with it not starting is because the one click cache is corrupted.

https://support.microsoft.com/en-ca/help/2713442/clickonce-application-fails-to-update

To delete the ClickOnce file cache delete the contents of this folder based on the operating system.

Windows XP and Server 2003 - %userprofile%\Local Settings\Apps\2.0\*.*

Windows Vista and Server 2008 and later - %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Apps\2.0\*.*

Deleting these files will clear the information for all installed ClickOnce applications. They will re-install the next time their shortcut or URLs are used.

Well this did not work, sadly i'm done. Game is way to boring without mods. I'll be keeping track of the game though. Good luck and happy hunting

This may be something you have not tried. Even though sphereii's mod launcher is fantastic and it is sad that a few do have problems with it, a lot of us here do recall there was a time before there was a mod launcher. Have you ever had a go at manually installing a mod?

It seems daunting at first but it is not so bad. There are plenty of posts about it and just as many people that would most likely help you with it.

You could do like I did and start very slowly. My first experience was just at first adjusting stacks to my liking. I wanted cans of boiled water to stack up to 5 from 1. There, my first modding experience. After that I started adding some HUD mods then as they were offered, full mods.

I eventually came upon Bloodslingers program to change stacks and recipies and have been using that forever. Even though it hasn't been updated for quite a while it still works for me. As a matter of fact it was sphereii who added the link to download it (thanks again sphereii for doing that).

I added this post because there were a couple of little things you needed to do at beginning but don't have to do after initial setup

My post showing how to use it.

After you get use to that then you can move on to manually installing the mod that you want to use. I have been playing the game since 2015 and once I started playing MP game I hardly ever played a SP game again. That meant most times installing a mod. (Note: I could never get sphereii's early version to work on my old computer so all my installs were manual, but he went through hell and high water with me to try and fix it).

So I say hang in there. Install mods old way if you have to and have fun with the game.

To sphereii......sorry I hijacked your thread for this.

(Wow, typed all this in notepad and pasted it after...did not know it would become a huge wall of text...sorry again)

Never a problem :) Thanks for providing some help!

 
I know this is prob old but they really need to allow you to shutoff bloom and such in the game settings, I dispise bloom, all it does to me is make the world blurry.

In previous versions, they had double bloom on. That's been removed though. Are you still finding it too high?

 
I'm playing "valmod overhaul compo pack plus biggerback pack" but I'm not getting the bigger backpack.

Could you provide a screenshot? It can be difficult to notice it. Should be 5 rows high.

 
Now this is a bigger backpack :fat:
I was hoping to get a backpack like that one from "undead legacy bigger backpack" on the mod launcherView attachment 24502

Takes a little bit of extra work for that. The mod in the launcher is just a small increase to help with the additional items in Valmod, and is kind of the 'standard bigger back pack size'. Some people feel that the larger backpacks take away from their experience, others like it. It's high maintenance to try to deal with the different versions, so we don't really put that much of an effort.

There are instructions on how to manually make it bigger.

Thanks for all of the quick responses. I love the launcher and appreciate the time and work that you put into it

 
sphereii, I'm playing Darkness Falls BBM, how do I know if I'm playing the latest version. Does the mod launcher auto update the mods?

If you have "Refresh Mods Automatically" checked, it should be keeping you up to date.

Some mods also contain version numbers in-game, and you can compare against their forum post.
