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

No worries. I'm not looking down at you, or anyone else who has trouble :)

It's installing by default, to C:\7D2D\Spider\True_Survival_SDX\.

I wonder if the Download worked. Can you check that folder and see if there's any files? If not, then something happened during the Steam sync. You could try to choose Copy From... and make a copy from your existing 7 Days to Die.

 
I feel like an idiot that this is so baffling.....so should I make a copy from my c\steam folder and place it in c\7D2D? And....you don't think there's anything corrupted with launcher? I deleted it and re-downloaded it but it didn't change anything

OMFG....I made a copy of 7 days and put it in the c\7D2D folder and clicked on download mod and it worked.... I guess launcher was having problems downloading copy on it's own? so.....while I have you helping me....if I want to play any of the other mods do I need multiple copies of 7 days in 7D2D? if I play true survival and then play starvation mod will the copy of 7 days in c\7D2D get overwritten?

 
The Mod Launcher will make a copy of your game, then it will add True Survival SDX to it. So that's our end goal, so let's make that happen :)

Usually your copy of 7 Days to Die is found under C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\7 Days To Die. Is that where your game is install at for Steam?

Here is what you should be seeing:

And after you click on Install Mod ( expect this to take 5 to 10 minutes ), then you should see this:

True Survival SDX should install under C:\7D2D\Spider\True_Survival_SDX. NOthing should over-write it. You can play other mods too, and the launcher will keep a separate copy of the game for each mod.

Note that the Starvation Launcher requires that you make the copy of the game first, before installing the mod. The 7D2D Mod Launcher assumes you don't have a copy, and will make the copy for you. This could get confusing if you are switching back and forth, and aren't quite familiar with both launchers :)

 
I thinking, just from reading his responses and having not yet seen your launcher, that he hasn't pointed your launcher to the game path, and its default is /7dtd/?

Could be. There's two paths that really matter; your Steam path, and where you want to install the mods to (Destination path).

The Mod Launcher will look for your Steam Path for you, and make it available in the drop down box. The Destination path defaults to C:\7D2D, because I do not have very good imagination for names.

I think he may have made a copy of the game under C:\7D2D manually, and that might have confused the Launcher, since it would expect a certain folder structure.

 
"Note that the Starvation Launcher requires that you make the copy of the game first" .....where do I place copy of game once I download files? also.....if launcher is having problems making copy's from steam folder.....do I need to copy and paste several 7 days to die in c\7D2D folder so each mod has it's own copy? does that make sense?

Are you trying to run Starvation? Or is your goal for True Survival SDX? They would have separate install guides. I can help you with both, but I don't want to confuse you any more than you currently are :)

you've helped me enough.....I don't want to take up any more of your time......you're very nice for helping me as much as you did.....it's very much appreciated....THANK YOU

 
Oh it's no worries. I don't want people to struggle with installing mods; it's meant to make things easier, and not add any extra frustration in your life :)

If you still have patience, then I would suggest doing something like this:

1) Open up 7D2D Mod Launcher

2) Click on Spider

3) Click on the Blue Folder icon and pick a new Destination Folder, such as C:\Launcher\

4) Click on True Survival SDX

5) Copy From Existing, and select your Steam Folder

6) Install Mod

And see if that takes you somewhere better.

 
I tried to install the launcher.exe but my virusscanner goes nuts...

I think it's a save file but I hate it when this happens :upset:

Hi Fren

unfortunately, sometimes it does get flagged. Are you trying to run the 7D2DModLauncher.exe? You could try the other link, skipping that exe. Maybe it won't get flagged for you.

You could always add an exception on your anti-virus, but I understand your concern.

Launcher Help

Sphereii-

First and foremost I want to say thank you so much for this launcher! This is the best thing ever, and I am in love with it!! It so easy to use, and for someone like me who isn't super tech savvy, it helps with the frustrations that come from trying to do each one singularly.

Soooo.....here's my quesiton. On the video I watched where I found the masterpiece, it showed the SDX starvation mod in the list, but I don't see it there. Now. Sad Face. I really want to get my butt kicked on that mod, but it's not in your handy masterpiece. I've tried to add the mod to a copy of the game myself, and it hasn't worked either time. I followed the video they recommended to a T, and it just will not work.

My question is how do I get Starvation Mod back into the list? I really would love to play it! Thank you for all your hard work on this wonderful program. My boyfriend and I recently started a YouTube channel, and I would love to be able to point people to your launcher if that's ok with you? I think it's an awesome tool for people!! Thanks so much for any help you might offer!!!

Hey GotInk666

The Starvation server you seen in the listing was for a private, white-listed DONA server. They re-hosted Starvation for a consistent game play, rather than requiring its existing users to use a different Launcher. All of DONA servers are configured through this Mod Launcher.

Since then, they have switched to True Survival SDX, and have taken down their link to the Starvation download.

Starvation from the Starvation Team is only currentl available through their Launcher, as it is using its own repo that I don't have access too.

 
Great launcher, really helpful.

But I cant seem to get the patches to work, it just comes up saying "wasnt meant for this file" but it says patch complete.

And when I go ingame, the patches have not worked :/

Hey venom

I probably forgot to update the patches for 15.2; the patches are probably just compatible with 15.1. I'll see if I can get them updated tomorrow.

The Patches has a safety system, so it won't apply a patch that won't be 100% successful.

 
Steam Stream

Is there a way to use this mod launcher with the steam stream option? I love to game on my laptop using the stream feature but since I have to launch the game through the app and not through the steam interface to select stream, I can't figure out if it is possible. Thanks in advance!

 
Hey tbonepat11. User since 2014, and your first post is on my thread. I feel honoured :)

I don't really understand what allows the Stream option. I'm assuming it needs some kind of Steam integration, which I don't have.

Since the streaming option means that game needs to be installed on the desktop, then the Launcher would have to also be running on the desktop. Have you added the 7D2D Mod Launcher to the desktop machine?

That's the only thing I can think of right off.
