Mephistopheles Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 UPDATED 2/10/19 to v17.2b20 Hey guys, I just wanted to share my modded xml files that have made the game more enjoyable for myself and others. Below are the changes which are also documented in the readme text file included. Take a look and decide if these changes might make the game better for you, and feel free to install them after reading the readme file. I'm open to recommendations for other changes, or make them yourselves in your own files as you see fit. If you have any questions or don't understand something, don't be afraid to ask for more info. Enjoy! Download Here! To install these changes, simply move these files into your C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\7 Days To Die\Data\Config folder and it will overwrite the existing xml files. Note that this will put your server in the MODDED category, and any further updates or attempts to validate your files will result in these modded files being overwritten with default files again.

Mephistopheles Posted January 27, 2019 Author Share Posted January 27, 2019 Really nice work here, thanks. Thank you very much! I'm really enjoying the new progression pace and hope that others are as well. My last release was giving 2 points per level, whereas this version is essentially 1.5 points per level and it feels a lot more natural and fair. I can't wait for better RWG, it's the only really glaring issue that I can't do anything about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetroDetroitGaming Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Can I donate directly and get the file or do I have to signup and pay thru that website? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirillion Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Can I donate directly and get the file or do I have to signup and pay thru that website? The free hosting has expired, do not pay, you should never pay to use mods other than do donations if you would like to support the mods. The OP needs to fix his link to get this working again.
