Update Version 2.0.19 - January 8th, 2019
==========================
It's been a rough few weeks on changing and upgrading the installer. The OneClick installer that we've been using is showing its inflexibility as I've been trying to make it as smooth as possible. It has not been very smooth, admittedly.
Expect quick jumps in version numbers as I roll out new, smaller features.
More Tutorials are available from some great YouTubers.
*************
What does it do, exactly?
Very simply, the Launcher reads a remote configuration file that contains different download links to the various mods. When you want to play a mod, you select it from the list, and it will automatically download and install the mod for you, then launch the game. You can also make your own configuration, called My Mods, mixing and matching mods at your leisure.
If you are playing on a server, your server administrator can create a config for the Launcher to use, that contains all their download links that are required. Need the back pack mod? The Server Administrator can add it to their zip file, and everyone will get it.
How do I get started?
Download and Run: https://github.com/7D2DModLauncher/T...r.msi?raw=true
YouTube Videos
I created a few short YouTube videos on how to get started.
Extra Info
Each of the installation methods has been signed by my security certificate, which I acquired for this tool: SphereII Software.
The main website for the 7D2D Mod Launcher is: http://7d2dmodlauncher.org/
For Log Files, you can go to the View menu, and select Log Files. This will allow you to view the launcher's log files, as well as your 7 Days to Die game log. An Upload Log File will upload the log file to pastebin, allowing you to share.
You may notice that that the 7D2D Mod Launcher is also referenced as "7D2D Launcher". Development work pre-dates the Fun Pimp's own 7DLauncher name, and I wanted to remain distinct, thus the move to the more recent, 7D2D Mod Launcher.
Enjoy playing, and I hope to hear some feedback
