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

I am hopelessly confused by this mod loader, it seems to be nothing like any I've ever used in the past. All I'm trying to do is play Darkness Falls with HDHQ at the same time, but I simply can't figure it out.
Disabling SSL allowed me to pre-sync both HDHQ and DF in under 3 seconds, but one of my HDHQ modlets took an hour to download, while the other modlets were instant. I also can't figure out how to actually play with either mod. I click on "starting splash screen", and under "installed mods" I see both mods. If I click "play" on Darkness Falls, it's just a vanilla game with it's own set of saves. If I click "play" on HDHQ, it's just a vanilla game with an entirely different set of saves. I've watched the tutorial videos, and yet they don't seem to fix my problems :upset:

Sounds like the mods didn't download.

Can you unchecked disable ssl, and retry? After that's done, click on the view menu, then log files. Click on the upload log and send me the pastebin.com link it gives you

When playing HDHQ, I actually found a few changes made by the mod. The ground and flower textures were the same, but certain trees looked different and there was a new plant. It seems I'm only getting some features?

*edit* I do have HDHQ modlets installed; that may be why I'm getting some HDHQ changes but not others

Yes, your downloads were interrupted by something. Do you have any anti-virus or firewall software that the mod launcher may need to be whitelisted with?

 
Are those Coyping steps for Mods like Ravenhearst on every press on Play neccessary?

Definitely room for improvements. You should be able to uncheck Refresh Mods Automatically and skip that step.

 
After excluding a bunch of folders and URLs related to 7dtd from bitdefender, I redownloaded and installed HDHQ and all of its modlets. It was a complete success, and seemed to work as intended.

However, I tried the same thing for Darkness falls, but it did not seem to work. https://pastebin.com/8ZcDQbpz

I don't see any errors with that log. In what way did it fail?

 
I can't find any of the features from Darkness Falls in the game. My backpack and crafting queue are not expanded, titanium and scrap tools aren't in the cheat menu, there are no UI changes, etc.

Also, how do I play with both Darkness Falls and HDHQ at the same time? The mod pages say they are compatible, which seems to imply that they can both be active at the same time

Let's get Darkness Falls installed, then we can go over how to install the HDHQ modlet into it.

Can you re-launch Darkness Falls mod, and start a new game? Once it's started, you can close the program. Back in the Mod Launcher, click on View -> Log Files, and select the output_log.txt in the drop down box, and click on Upload Log file. Copy the pastebin.com link here, and we'll see what happened.

 
Is Direct Download checked? If so, uncheck ,and try again.

I am currently redownloading Darkness Falls without direct download, but judging by the speed of things, it may take upwards of 5 hours like before.

I won't be able to do much about the speed you are experiencing, other than hope that the initial download is the one that takes the most time, and from this point forward, it should be much faster.

For some reason my downloading picked up speed by like 10,000%, and it's already finished. I loaded the game up and it worked! The mod is now clearly active in my game!

Now that DF is out of the way, how do I play both HDHQ and DF at the same time?

Great news.

Click on Manage Modlets, and filter by DUST2DEATH, and you should fine what you are looking for. I'm not sure which modlets are compatible with Darkness Falls though. There's a few to pick from.

I've played around 4 hours of this with the mods, as well as a whole bunch of modlets, and I haven't encountered any issues since! Thank you so much for the help, I really appreciate it!

Sorry for the frustration you had experienced, and I hope you enjoy your play through.

Seems like the root cause of the issue was Bit Defender.

 
Very sorry for the delay.
The log file looks clean. Can you post a log from a failed launch? Same process, start the game and let it fail, and go back into the View -> Log Files. There's a drop down box there to change it to output_log.txt.

Seems like an interesting issue. There may have been left over changes in their steam folder. If you uninstall through steam, I don't think it removes files that were placed there outside of the game. You may have to manually delete the 7 Days To Die folder, then re-validate in Steam to fix it.
