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

tried your SDX Bigger but on game load it gave me that weird box on top with some type of missing text or something , Then tried Valmod Overhaul Big Backpack and that one seems to be working as I just pick my * profession * open case and got the stuff. :smile-new: You are a GENIUS and now all I need is a way to send you a donation as a ty and also to help in your future modding !

Great news. The SDX Bigger mod packages are older proofs of concepts I put together, and require an older alpha version. To use them, you would need to use the Download From Steam option, and it'll download the correct version.

How can someone contribute / donate to you ? I'm sure making all of those are time consuming and that some cash could help you for the future ( I'm not Bill Gates or trump , but I can help a little )

Your offer is very generous. There is a Donation button in the Mod Launcher, in between View and Help.

Keep in mind, I don't make any of the great mods the Launcher loads for you :) I just make it slightly easier for people to play them.

Sorry you are having trouble. Let's get you set up.

See if these steps make sense:

Short Mod Launcher Guide:

1) Click on Advanced

2) Click on Spider

3) For the Destination Folder, you can click on the folder to pick where the mod will be installed at. By default, it's C:\7D2D\

4) Click on True Survival SDX

5) Click on Copy to make a copy of your Steam folder

6) Click on Play mod

NOTE: The first time you press Play, it will take awhile to download. True Survival SDX is about 500 megs, so depending on how fast your internet connection is, it could take 5 minutes up to an hour. Every other time after that will be much faster.

no need to apologize.......thank you so much for your fast response....I don't know what the hell I'm doing wrong but I watched video and followed your instructions exactly and when I open the spider on left side and highlight true survival and click on install mod....true survival isn't highlighted anymore and nothing happens? also....when I open launcher.exe isn't it supposed to create a desktop icon? it's not.....the .exe just opens . thanks Rich

Definitely a bit strange.

The 7D2DModLauncher.exe can install and start the Mod Launcher both. You can add it to Steam as a non-Steam game to give you games' the steam overlay.

When you click on Install mod, it should make a copy of your 7 Days to Die folder. In the drop down box, below Copy From Existing, have you selected the Steam path of your 7 Days to die folder?

You could also click on the View menu, then go to Log Files. There, you should see the Launcher's log file. You can click on the Upload log file, and it will give you a pastebin.com link. If you give me that, I can look at the log file and see what's up.

I wonder if it doesn't like the destination folder. Can you change it to something like c:\7d2d, rather than program files?

Alright, let's see if we can get you fixed up.

Bring up the Launcher and click on Test Mod Sync for one of the Mods. Then, in the View menu, click on Log Files, then click on the button that says "Upload Log file". A pastebin.com link will be given to you. Can you give me that one to look at the error?

No worries.

The 7D2D Mod Launcher.exe is good too. When you first start it, do you see a list of mods along the side?

If you do, you can click on Spider, then click again on True Survival SDX.

 
okay...I clicked on it
Click to expand...
Excellent.

Do you have an Install Mod button? If you do, then select your Steam copy of 7 Days to Die from the drop down above the button, and click it. It'll make a copy of the game for you.

If you have already done that, you should see a Test Mod Sync button. Click on that. Once that's done, go to the View menu at the top, then click on Log Files. In that screen, click on Upload Log File.

After a few seconds, a https://pastebin.com link should appear to the right hand side. Copy and paste that URL to me, and I'll see what's going on.
