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

Okay, so it can take a few minutes to load up. However, if you feel it is taking longer, you can do this:
1) In the Mod Launcher, click on the View menu, then Log Files

2) select the output_log.txt from the drop down box

3) click on the Upload Log file button

4) copy and paste the pastebin.com link it gives you here.
Aye, Thats what it was. Apparently SSD's have spoiled me to the point where if it takes more then 15-20 seconds to load i start clicking... if i would have just left the mouse alone it would have loaded up, but it does take awhile!

Thanks for your help.

I'm glad it's working for you! With loading the assets, the SSD do give an advantage: The assets can be anywhere from 500 to 1.2G of extra content. However, the bottle neck is normally the CPU as it needs to extract the bundles, etc. :)

 
1.0.3.19 is released! Includes minor tweaks to the download logic.

Also includes an experimental "Save All Games Local To Mod" option. This will create a Save folder off your Destination (C:\7D2D\Saves), and stored per mod-name. This will let you delete your mod, while preserve your save game in the future.

Mod launcher won't load anymore.

Hi guys, I've been using the mod launcher with no problems for a few weeks. But tonight I tried to start it up, it downloaded something, then I got this message : "7 days to die mod launcher application cannot be started". Is this something that's happening to everyone, or is it just me. And if it's just me, what would you advise? Thanks!

 
Thank you Sphereii... you have made some many life’s so much easier. Although, I have a question, how can I mod a mod? I tried changing things but every time I start the mod it deletes any change I’ve made. Thank you.

Sorry for the trouble. Any anti virus programs?

It can be tricky . If you make xml changes, you can simply run the exe directly.

Alternatively, make your changes in TempMods and uncheck refresh mods automatically.

 
Hi, thanks for replying so soon. I tried replying to your comment, but I received this comment :

The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 4 characters.

So I'm writing as a reply to thread, sorry about that.

I tried running the mod launcher again without norton protection, but it was the same.

If it helps, the error message was as follows, (it means nothing to me, because I'm a pc illiterate, but if you can help, it'd be much appreciated!)

Interesting error. I will look more closely in a bit.

Could you try downloading the Release.zip file in the first post? Extract and run directly. See if that improves our luck

 
Hi, it turns out I hadn't fully deactivated norton. It works fine now, thanks. Was there an update to the mod launcher today?
Norton is aggressive.

A small update to allow a future mirroring effort, and allow local saves.

 
I've been using the mod launcher for some great mods for a while now but suddenly today when I try to run it, it fails, Norton says I'm not allowed to use it and removes it, when I try to reinstall it, it goes all the way to 100% then this pops up;

"Windows can not access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."

How do I fix this?

Ahh Norton, our old friend.

Can you run the mod launcher as admin? Can you set up an exclusion in Norton on the folder where the launcher is trying to install mods too?

 
I can't even install the launcher... I tried excluding from Norton but still get the same message. I'm about to attempt the release.zip file way

**EDIT**

It failed as well...ML Error.jpg

Done, attempting the install again now.
**EDIT**

Still getting same error...
Hmm I don't use Norton so I am not that familiar with it. I don't want to tell you to turn it off either. We just need a way to get Norton to ignore it

 
It worked fine before today, that's whats confusing me... Then against I haven't shutdown/restarted in a while, I normally just put my pc in sleep mode. could it maybe just need a restart?

Hard to tell. Maybe Norton needs to be temporary disabled to installed? I do t have any experience in it.
