Hi sphereii :)

 

I have a question about the launcher.

 

What to do in the case where the update mod will break the save?

Maybe not everyone would like an update at the cost of starting a new game. The update can be a nasty surprise, there is a way to warn and give a choice?

Hi sphereii :)

Maybe not everyone would like an update at the cost of starting a new game. The update can be a nasty surprise, there is a way to warn and give a choice?

 

In the past, modders have chosen two different ways to handle this type of event. The mod launcher itself doesn't take any measure to check if a mod will break a save or not.

 

Option #1: Make a new repo with the new build in it, and we can add a second configuration

Example:

Classic Style Hardcore

Classic Style Hardcore V2

 

Option 2: Warn everyone of a breaking change coming in your forum post. Anyone who does not want the update can uncheck "Refresh Mods Automatically".

 

I usually recommend Option 1, if breaking changes are going to be rare. Having a few options to play is enticing for players, but too many options can be confusing.

 

Option 2 is easier for you, as a modder, since you only need to maintain one branch and one version, but could upset some players who lose progress.

Hi all, I have windows 7 and trying to down load the 7 days to die MOD launcher. I have tried the auto TLS fix, then rebooted computer and I've downloaded the manual fix. Rebooted and I still get the "Unable to install or run this application. This version requires 4.7.1 or other compatible .NET framework." I must be doing something wrong. I'm mildly tech savvy, I think. haha Ideas?

Have you installed the 4.7.1 framework yet?

Try this:

 

https://support.microsoft.com/en-ca/help/2713442/clickonce-application-fails-to-update

 

To delete the ClickOnce file cache delete the contents of this folder based on the operating system.

Windows XP and Server 2003 - %userprofile%\Local Settings\Apps\2.0\*.*
Windows Vista and Server 2008 and later - %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Apps\2.0\*.*

Deleting these files will clear the information for all installed ClickOnce applications. They will re-install the next time their shortcut or URLs are used.

Uh, Houston. . .

 

I apologize if this has been addressed, but I didn't see it anywhere.

 

For some reason, when I use the launcher to download War of the Walkers, it downloads Ravenhearst. It looks like War of the Walkers is downloaded/installed, but when the game starts up, I get Ravenhearst.

 

This should show that I'm trying to play War of the Walkers, but it's downloading Ravenhearst.

I mean, there's a fair chance that I screwed something up along the way, and if so, I'd still like to know what. Seems like a launcher is though. Anyway, let me know if there's anything I can do about this, and I apologize if it's been addressed elsewhere, I have a habit of missing things.

I'm sorry for the trouble. The screenshot is too small for me to see. Would you mind posting a log?

 

After installing War of the Walkers, click on the View menu,then go to Log Files. Click on the Upload Log file button, and give me the pastebin.com link.

Sorry for the trouble. Must have been a hosting issue, that has resolved itself.

4000 hours and have 'tested' almost all major and minor mods (Darkness Falls currently). All made massively easier with the launcher. (Been using for over a year.) Very thankful. Just donated a small mount for thanks.

 

I only have one very trivial thing to note. After you have have used a mod (or 2, or 3...) there will be an quicker way to launch in the bottom right window. Although, you do need to be a little careful as the 'Delete' button is right next to the 'Play' button. And, while I was responsible a couple times, a faulty mouse was responsible once as well.

 

(This reminds me of remoting into Windows servers, and the logoff button was right next to the reboot button. I wonder how many production servers have been accidentally restarted at inopportune times?)

 

Anyways, thank you so much for the launcher and all the effort that went into it.

Sorry for the delay. Thank you very much for your generous donation.

 

There is a UI overhaul, and it's mostly complete. This will adjust things around the UI a lot, so I hope to be able to address your concern through that. I've put the overhaul on hold while I wait to see what changes A17 will bring for the mods.

Somehow my Ravenhearst 21 day horde edition is no longer listed in the launcher UI as an installed mod but is still in the mod launcher folder. I've been playing the 3.1.5 version of Ravenhearst (never updated to V4). How do I get the game to show back up on the UI without updating to the latest version of RH?

Were you able to get this sorted out for you? The official listing was removed, but I think the archives still exists for it.

Do you have auto update unchecked in launcher

 

Nope, never. Disable UNET, Update Registry (not sure why I have that checked) and Save all games local to mod.

 

EDIT: I just set the items.xml to read only and sure enough 7D2DModLauncher wants to overwrite it, but can't since I set it to Read Only. Launcher can't launch after that even when I specify to continue.

Workaround - I looked at the mod launcher log and saw that it was pulling a copy from a subdirectory in the mod folder called "TempMods" - I went into that subfolder and found the items.xml and edited that one. So now its working.

 

 

<a>\<b>\<c>\<d>\TempMods\<e>\Data\Config\Items.xml

Where:

a = <Drive & Folder where you tell 7D2DModLauncher to store your mods>

b = <Mod maker?>

c = <mod name>

TempMods

<Internal 7D2DModLauncher Mod Name? In my case its: "0-Valmod-Overhaul">

Yes, that is correct. You can click on the button with three dots to open up an explorer window to it.

 

Optionally, since you aren't interested in updates from the official repo, you could just edit the file as you normally have, and just run the exe directly :)
