SDX 0.6.0 (April 2016)

Matite · April 11, 2016

As Pacco teased us with new features...
Can someone from the SDX team briefly explain what's new?

You can now add or override existing description keys for your mod. An example would be in my Drawbridge mod:

https://7daystodie.com/forums/showthread.php?33848-Drawbridge-(Animated)-Mod

In the "...\Text\English.txt" file is the following text:

Drawbridge1 = Drawbridge 1
Drawbridge1Desc = A fully functional opening and closing drawbridge with a remote keypad.

The first line defines the name for the drawbridge as displayed by the game while the second line defines the description displayed when the block is selected in your inventory.

The block XML lines are below:

<block id="" name="Drawbridge1">
<property name="DescriptionKey" value="Drawbridge1Desc" />
<property name="Class" value="Drawbridge1, Mods" />
<property name="Material" value="Mconcrete" />
<property name="Shape" value="ModelEntity" />
<property name="Tag" value="Door" />
<property name="Model" value="#Drawbridge1?Drawbridge1Prefab" />
<property name="OpenSound" value="open_drawbridge" />
<property name="CloseSound" value="open_drawbridge" />
<drop event="Harvest" name="destroyedStone" count="25" />
<drop event="Destroy" name="destroyedStone" count="10" prob="1" />
<drop event="Fall" name="destroyedStone" count="1" prob="1.0" stick_chance=".75" />
<property name="Group" value="Building,Basics" />
<property name="Place" value="Door" />
</block>

The "DescriptionKey" is the important bit here... it must match the description key you define in "English.txt". Don't forget that in order for descriptions to work you need to have the "SDX Core" mod enabled and at the top of your mod list (you can drag it to the top if needed).

So i got a little problem.. i tried to import my object, but how do i know on which coordinates i have to put it in unity? Just dragging it in seems to not work because my model is invisible and i think it is just somewhere behind or infront of me. And how do i add my texture to it in unity?

You need to put it at 0,0,0 so it will be where you expect when ingame. With all of my mods I always create an empty GameObject at the root and place my model below that so I can then manipulate the position as needed on the model itself while leaving the root at 0,0,0.

As for adding textures, you need to create a material for it. Unity probably did it when you imported the model but added no texture to it. This stuff is best covered by Googling as there are a million tutorials on that side of things.

Don't forget you MUST use Unity 5.3.3 to export your asset bundle (.Unity3D) otherwise the model will be invisible ingame.

Good luck and do not hesitate if you have another question.

made a quick tutorial for the enemy and animal textures here:

I can't get my custom icons to load into the game. I have them in the proper folder structure (B:\Program Files\SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\7 Days To Die\SDXMods\02_Harvestable Plants\Icons\itemname.png), .png format, and they are sized either 115x79 or 116x80 (could that be the problem? seems weird that it would make them not appear, but maybe....). Is there something I need to do to get it to load up custom icons? Really appreciate the help. Thanks!

You can get a false positive with some av, as stated in OP...

ok, new day, new try.

Still get the same error while trying to build. No steam running, no game running, fresh pc start. Tried copying the game direclty to e:\7daystodie , same error.

Another error also appears if the backup folder already exists (its empty as the backup doesn't work) if i try to build and forget to delete the folder:

Also tried with deactivated antivirus, same.

No clue anymore what to try.

Hi,

I assume you already changed the settings.ini with the correct game folder path
That error appears when you press Build button or Reverse button?
Try running SDX as administrator, if any of your folders have any special permissions.

I can't think of anything else...

1. as you can see in the error log, unfortunaly yes

2. error appears if i press "build"

3. same as administrator

Also copied the game to the system disc c:\7daystodie . Same. Even checked the settings under properties -> security and gave every account full access , didn't help either.

I'm out of ideas.

Not trying to be a pain, just bumping my question as there's been about a page of posts since.

Any help anyone could offer is much appreciated. Thanks so much!

You have obviously installed it incorrectly. The link shows you how to install it properly.

I dont know much here but maybe the png has to be the 116x80 not smaller or larger

I dont know that bit either lol. One of the great sdx team members might be to assist better there. there is 1 more (Radio) by Pacco. So far that is all that has been released for sdx. There be more coming tho. just got to keep an ye on the mods section. I have asked the mods if SDX could get its own section but thats TFPs call. But maybe if we all pm the mods hehe sdx will gt its own separate section as this will also help with confusion to.

barnsavvv · April 12, 2016

also for when i get a response for my question on how to get them on dedi server

Do you know how i will add recipes for the drawbridge for instance would it still be

</recipe>

in the recipes xml

stallionsden · April 12, 2016

also for when i get a response for my question on how to get them on dedi server

Do you know how i will add recipes for the drawbridge for instance would it still be

<recipe name="10mmBullet" count="1" scrapable="True">
<ingredient name="bulletCasing" count="1"/>
<ingredient name="gunPowder" count="2"/>
<ingredient name="bulletTip" count="1"/>
</recipe>

in the recipes xml

you open up the sdxmod folder that is in sdxmods in the games main folder. select config. select the xml and open it. then you need to add the recipe code. I did this for all the sdx mods so far. but you can to if you go thru each xml some have recipes already I just copied it and pasted it in the other xmls that didnt have recipes and changed each recipe for each mod.

IE: for the Traps I did this -

</recipe>

</recipe>

</recipe>

</append>

</config>

that all has to be in its own section but not inter twined with the other sections.

so it looks like this - (Sorry mortelenus hop you dont mind me using your traps as the example)

</block>

</block>

</block>

</append>

</config>

</SoundDataNode>

</SoundDataNode>

</append>

</config>

</recipe>

</recipe>

</recipe>

</append>

</config>

</configs>

barnsavvv · April 12, 2016

Make perfect sense thankyou i will start doing this now while i wait for a reply

barnsavvv · April 12, 2016

cant see where is going wrong recipe wont show up in sp on the crafting menu but dose on creative still

</block>

</append>

</config>

</SoundDataNode>

</append>

</config>

</recipe>

</append>

</config>

</configs>

stallionsden · April 12, 2016

Did you re build sdx

barnsavvv · April 12, 2016

stallionsden · April 12, 2016

It works on mine. Try reverting back to vanilla then building again. Close sdx reopen sdx re build check your recipe.xml at the bottom to see if yoir recipes are in and run sdx.
