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

Hey Spereii,

Thank you for making this launcher! Unfortunately I can't get it to work...lol

I'm trying to us it to play the Ravenhurst mod. It seems to download everything ok, but when I run the game, it starts loading up 7d2d, then gives this error: "Could not fully initialize Steam. The Steam client is not running or no connection possible."

I definitely have the steam client running. In addition, when I copied over the game files I had it login to steam to get a "fresh" copy, so I don't think it's a firewall issue, as it was able to connect to steam and download with no problems. I also put my antivirus in sleep mode while trying to run it. That didn't seem to help either.

The mod launcher is installed on my c: drive, whereas my steam installation is installed on a different HD - e: drive. Don't know if it matters, but just trying to give any info I can.

Also, I tried something you had mentioned in a previous post a long while back, where you said to try adding 7D2Dmodlauncher to steam as a "non-steam game" and then launch it through the steam interface. It adds it to my game list, but when I click play, it just gives me this error: "Failed to launch 7D2DmodLauncher"

I would love any ideas and/or suggestions you have. Let me know if you need any additional info.

Thanks Sphereii!

 
I installed the 2k overhaul using the mod launcher. Does that include the entire HDHQ mod list? Because if I try to add the particle effect modlet or one of the biome Redux modlets the launcher does not seem to put them in the mod folder.

I could download and install them manually but don't want to break it before I start lol

When adding as a non-steam game, be sure to make sure you are pointing to this folder: C:\Program Files\SphereII Software\7D2D Mod Launcher Installer

You may also try clicking on Run Game As Admin in the mod launcher

I'm not super familiar, but I don't believe so. Once installed, you will have to go to Add More Mods, and select the different modlets. They should then appear in your game.

 
That's what I tried. Selected the all the modlets I wanted to install including the HDHQ Modlets I wanted and clicked on the install and close button. It installed the others (like Guppys vehicle overhaul) but not the HDHQ ones. Tried several times. Unless they don't nstall in the Modlet folder?

HDHQ modlets download in a folder called "GitLabRepos" ( or something like that ). This downloads all of them, but will only copy over the ones you have selected. Can you look for a GitLabRepos? Do any other modlets install?

 
I do have other modlets installed that I chose from the list in the launcher. They all downloaded into the Mods folder except for the aforementioned HDHQ modlets

I searched my entire PC for GitLabRepos and can't find a folder with that name. I also went through all game folders installed from the launcher with no luck finding the GitLab folder or the HDHQ modlets I tried to download.

Seems like its having trouble downloading from gitlab.

My Local path is: C:\7D2D\Alpha17\GitLabMods

Can you post your Mod Launcher config? Try the download, then go to View -> Log Files, and click on Upload Log file.

I finally found the folder by searching for GitLab and found the GitLabMods. So it is in there under my Dust2Death folder. I do not see the specific Modlets in there anywhere but maybe it is just formatted different?

It should list all the modlets under that folder structure. If it's empty, then something stopped it from downloading from gitlab.

In my limited expertise looking at the log files I think you are correct.

I'm not sure why of course lol

Unfortunately, the logs for the mod downloader aren't very good. I'll have to beef them up.

The modlets for HDHQ are hosted on Gitlab, so it's just a clone of the entire repos, much like the main download. Can you delete that Gitlab folder, and try it again?

 
Hey Sphereii,

Thanks for getting back to me on this.

I tried RH 4k, as well as 2k, and both give the same error.

I also tried the "darkness falls" mod, and am seeing the same problem. (though it looks like it's on gitlab as well?)

Honestly, most of the mods in the list appear to be hosted on gitlab.

I did see that Tazas Grave is hosted on github....trying it.....and....damn. Same issue. :(

Maybe an anti-virus or firewall software is blocking it? Do you run anything like that?

That did it! All Modlets are now showing. Thank you for your help good sir!

Not having any luck getting the game to actually load my combination of modlets but that's another issue....

Conflicting mods? Glad the original problem is resolved. It must have had bad data in the gitlabs folder.

It must be, I keep getting console errors and it won't generate a world. Fixing to delete all and try again I guess.

Post a log file if you are still having issues, and we'll take a look.

 
This sounds like an issue with the new configuration system. What OS are you using? Was it working on 2.0.60?

Windows 10, 64 bit

It worked fine with 59, but neither 60 or 61 would update and it gave me those errors

60 and 61 only added a check if the Mods folder exist.

We could try deleting the configuration. It'll reset everything to default.

Put this in Explorer, and delete everything: %appdata%\..\Roaming\7D2DModLauncher
