Installed Darkness Falls on my dedicated server and receiving an error.....

[azmothman]

Hello Modders :-)

 

I have played the vanilla version of 7DTD for a LONG time, ever since 7DTD first came out many moons ago at this stage I really would like to play some of the fantastic mods that I keep reading about such as Darkness Falls. 

 

I am in no way a mod expert but a newbie in this category but in all of my Google and/or YouTube searches I thought I had followed everything correctly in installing this mod but I hope someone will be able to give me a nudge in the right direction. In any regard thank you for your time and assistance. 

 

So I am running my own physical dedicated server, that is running Windows and I have the following  applications installed:

 

• Steam
• 7DTD installed using build 20.6
• 7DTD Mod Launcher
• Darkness Falls

 

After the mod was cleanly installed, I edited the serverconfig.xml file. In editing the serverconfig.xml I  further indicated:  disabled the EAC,  Defined the Game Name as "Darkness Falls" and Game World as "DFalls-Large1-NoCP", after which I  launched the startdedicated.bat which starts my 7DTD Darkness Falls server correctly. 

 

At this point I go to my PC, verify that my local 7DTD client is running the same build (20.6) and launched 7DTD with the EAC disabled as well. When I go to join then I see my server but after selecting it then I am receiving this error "Unexpected data received. Server is either running an incompatible version or requires the client to install mods". 

 

Thank you again!

Thank you for your response, I had thought of this but was not sure as none of the instructions ever mentioned it.  I will work on this today and advise.
