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

Hello!
I've been trying to change the stack size in Valmod, but it always reverts to the original stack sizes. Is there a way to do this?

Do you have auto update unchecked in launcher

Nope, never. Disable UNET, Update Registry (not sure why I have that checked) and Save all games local to mod.

EDIT: I just set the items.xml to read only and sure enough 7D2DModLauncher wants to overwrite it, but can't since I set it to Read Only. Launcher can't launch after that even when I specify to continue.

Workaround - I looked at the mod launcher log and saw that it was pulling a copy from a subdirectory in the mod folder called "TempMods" - I went into that subfolder and found the items.xml and edited that one. So now its working.

<a>\<b>\<c>\<d>\TempMods\<e>\Data\Config\Items.xml

Where:

a = <Drive & Folder where you tell 7D2DModLauncher to store your mods>

b = <Mod maker?>

c = <mod name>

TempMods

<Internal 7D2DModLauncher Mod Name? In my case its: "0-Valmod-Overhaul">

Yes, that is correct. You can click on the button with three dots to open up an explorer window to it.

Optionally, since you aren't interested in updates from the official repo, you could just edit the file as you normally have, and just run the exe directly :)

 
So why is it here 4.1?

My guess is that JaxTeller718 didn't want to change the name of the mod when he updated it to 4.2. The "name" of the mod in the Mod Launcher is used for the folder; changing this name would have forced everyone to re-install the mod completely.

 
When trying to run launcher:

It may have been a temporary disruption. I just loaded it up. Would you mind re-trying?

 
Whenever I try to download the mod launcher I get this error message:

Error Starting Application: System.ArgumentException: Illegal characters in path.

at System.Io.Path.CheckInvalidPathChars (String path, Boolean checkAdditional)

I have no idea what any of this means so if you know how to fix it the help would be much appreciated. Also, I know almost nothing about computers so please explain how to fix it as if you were talking to a child. Thank you in advance.

Sorry for the delay in answering.

It seems like one of the settings is bad in the game. Does the launcher start at all, or just errors out and stops you from continueing?

If it does continue to launch, you can go to File -> Clear -> Clear Steam Paths, and see if that helps.

Started working not long afterwards! Thanks! FYI: Couldn't do anything, except force close... Or maybe close caused launcher to close...

It doesn't launch at all. As you said errors then stops me from continuing.

Give this a try:

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.

Sorry for the delay. This sounds like something is blocking the github link. Can you click on Disable SSL, and re-launch the mod launcher to see if it fixes it?

I did that, now the mod launcher won't even launch

I uninstalled and reinstalled and it still won't launch.

EDIT: After a few minutes of it appearing not to launch, it launched out of nowhere. No, it didn't fix it, it still shows the same thing.

Once loaded, would you mind clicking on the View menu, then Log files, and clicking on Upload Log file? It'll give you a pastebin.com link of the start up; might be able to see what's going on with it. Sounds like something is blocking the site.

It's my ISP blocking it. I connected to my hotspot instead on my phone and it loads fine now. Guess I am using my hotspot when installing mods. Thanks for the help.
