Winter Project 2019

That wasn't the log I was asking for, but it's the log I needed :)
INFO 1 _7D2DLauncher.frmMain - SDX Downloaded. Checking SDX Dependencies.

INFO 1 _7D2DLauncher.frmMain - DMT not available. Download failed. Attempting to load last game...

I see that. So DMT didn't download properly, so it didn't build Winter Project. I've never seen this part fail before, so looks like logs are lacking. Maybe some kind of firewall blocking it? Although looks like the rest of the mod is there. To install manually, you may be able to do something like this, until I add more debugging:

1) Download and extract: https://github.com/7D2DMods/DMTClient/archive/master.zip

2) Click on the button with the Three Dots to get to where the Mod Launcher installed winter project, and create a folder called SDXRepos

3) Copy the contents of the zip file into SDXRepos

SDXRepos/DMTViewer.exe, for example
4) Try re-starting the mod launcher and press Play on it.

Ok I will try, thank you for giving me a workaround.

Update: It works, thanks

I solved my problem by installing Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package (x64) from Microsoft website. You should probably mention this package as a dependency for Mod Launcher. Assuming the user may already have it or knows what to do may lead to bug reports like this lol

 
Glitchy?

Yes, glitchy / weird / broken. Shark which looked like it has something attached to its body, like a ship or something that was hard to identify because I didn't really want to spend too much time around it to take a better look. Apparently that shark spawned in the house (ugh...) and I didn't even know he was there as he was hidden under ground most of the time, but once he started chasing me, he was occasionally floating above the ground so I was able to see him a little better then. Needless to say that meeting a flying shark in the house and then being chased by him in the world where all the water is frozen was a pretty weird experience. Two words came to my mind when I saw him: Broken Jaws.

 
I dont think this mod has a "goal"

what you define as "broken" is not, works as intended

"wildest, weirdest, craziest" we aint bound to the same points of view and nothign is thrown all together into the game

this is calculated, curated, tested and intended this way.

you always have vanilla.... or fortnite if you dislike it.

So... That's the goal of this mod? To put the broken, wildest, weirdest, craziest nightmares all together into this game?

One goal is to showcase the possibilities; this mod has an incredible amount of behind the scenes stuff that Sphereii and Xyth share with the community. Consider it a working prototype. It's okay if you don't appreciate it.

Guppy, I appreciate all the hard work Xyth and Sphereii are doing! Heck, I wouldn't want to play 7 Days to Die without their NPCs, Wandering traders and Bandits and they know it. It's just that I didn't expect something like this to happen in this mod, I mean I did expect weird stuff to happen, I've seen gameplays of older version back in Alpha 17, but this shark was just weird for me, you know? I mean if someone likes it, good for them, I'm happy for them, but I think I expected something different here. Flying sharks that jump at me from underground where I can't even see them is just not my favorite thing. :(

If this mod is just a proof of concept of the DMT features, then that would make sense. Otherwise, I would be confused.

so that was the comment you should post, this last one, not what you said. this last comment is feedback and critisism, which is fine, the other one was sarcastic and not nice at all.

Oh so this is how you interpret it. In that case I'm sorry that you didn't understand, there was no attempt to be sarcastic or not nice at all, I was simply asking question out of curiosity or rather confusion.

 
thats fine, we may interpret and understand things differently, we may even have different opinions. and i think you alredy know what i think you should do with yours. dont want to flood WP with this chat, its pointless. not even my mod so im out.

Have a nice day. :)

 
Chill friends :-) For the record the shark works pretty well until like many animals he clips into a building then things become, glitchy. Its the first entity in this game to my knowledge, that uses a technique to allow it to be underground and move. This mode is doubly challenging because the ground is about 11 blocks above normal. I tried something difficult and got it mostly working, and rather than letting perfection get in the way of showing to other modders what is possible, I chose to have a little fun with it despite its imperfection. If someone doesn't like it, they can just comment out 1 line of xml. But, so far most folks find it funny, or terrifying, or just a good source of meat in a hungry world.

I can handle a lot of strange things, after all we all love and play zombie killing game, but flying sharks lurking under the house to me are the same as spiders to people who suffer from arachnophobia. Too scary.

The other evening, I fell down a a place in the Dishong Tower. I was trapped. I could only nerd pole a few times before hitting bullet proof glass. The room was sealed in cement otherwise.

I had my stone axe. I started chipping away at the glass, trying to go up. The entire time, the shark was on the other side of the bullet proof glass.. pacing.. waiting....

Longest 30 minutes of my life.
