SDX 0.7.0 (Christmas 2016)

Tristam · January 29, 2017

I'm getting SDXC has stopped working when I try to build anything in 7 Days to Die. 7.0 version. Anyone know any fixes?

I did this on a fresh install, with basic mods, before and/or after making the backup and doing all the steps on the official SDX thread. Running out of ideas and fast.

We would need more information if we want to help you.....give us the output from sdx...you could just copy the whole Text. Also never try to run sdx while the game is started this will force sdx to stop working.

Pacco · January 29, 2017

Allright I´ll uploaded a whole backup folder here

you would need to paste this one into the SDX_0.7.0_RC10\Backups folder and should be fine. let me know if that helps please

Sorry for the slow reply. Life, you know?

Okay, but I'll clarify that I never run SDX with the game already started. I know better.

I was trying to install the Starvation Mod, but I could never get it to work without using the separate updating launcher they were kind enough to create for it. Even making a clean build/backup with SDX 7.0 causes errors. Today I tried installing 6.0 and it works like a charm, but it doesn't play well with Starvation-- a 7.0 SDX mod. I tried installing Starvation and THEN installing Duffle Bags (6.0) using SDX 6.0, but from the looks of things no matter what I do I have to choose one or the other since they override each other. Plus, I can't start Starvation without using the SDX 7.0 launcher.

All I want to do is use a handful of 6.0 SDX mods with Starvation. Idk if I can't combine them manually, or otherwise make it happen, but I'm starting to guess I need to wait for an update. I simply started looting a bank and REALLY didn't want to take a green, iron pickaxe to each and every safe after having used the lockpicks from Valmar's Overhaul. So my spoiled behind wants to use a similar mod to cover my bases.

I got it working. No idea what I did differently, but I reinstalled the game and started from scratch. Now it's working.

Now if ONLY I could figure out how to use a couple of different SDX mods together. They don't all seem to play nicely.

I speak for myself only, and many of my individual mods are not updated to A15, unfortunately. All my free time has been invested in Starvation for now (which btw, contains most my previous mods).

Anything in particular you were looking at?

Hi - hoping someone could help... Installing SDX7. Followed the video and all instructions on the documentation. In SDX, Settings > Game Folder is set up fine. Double checked and the 7DaysToDie.exe is definitely in the path specified.

However, when I click BUILD for the first time, the following code is brought up:

Unhandled Exception: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not find file 'D:\Steam Games\steamapps\common\7 Days To Die\7DaysToDie_Data\Managed\Mods.dll'.

When i click PLAY, the following message appears:

Could anyone point me in the right direction please? Thank you!

Until Dom can take a look at this recurrent problem, check Pacco post, hopefully it will help.

Beard_One · February 3, 2017

Huge thanks, Mortelentus. This allowed the game to boot up for sure, but i'm still having issues compiling any mod at all...

Here is the last section of the latest, using 1 of HALs mods (HalArrows)... Any kind of help with this would be really appreciated!!

Any help at all would be so very much appreciated - thank you!!

Also, as a side note, do we know if these mods work in MP now? I know they didnt used to...?

Mortelentus · February 3, 2017

Hmmm. Are you compiling Hal Helper scripts? For the looks of it, seems you may be missing them. Hal, being an organised programmer, has a mod with reusable code, that he uses for multiple mods. Check his op, it should be in there

Beard_One · February 3, 2017

Yup - i tried Building with zero mods. With just HalArrows, and with Hal Helper scripts. All the same...

Beard_One · February 4, 2017

Note - definitely an issue with the build somehow. Evern when i click PLAY from SDX7, i'm getting the following errors on 7dtd load screen:

SDX: Mod Engine Started

SDX: Finding type refs:

SDX: Loading mods assembly

SDX: Failed to get types: Could not load file or assembly 'Mods' or one of its dependancies. The system cannot find the file specified.

SDX: Begin Load mod script...

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object **highlighted in red**

DOes this mean anything to anyone? I'm dying to get DSX7 working but i'm having nothing but problems!

Huge thanks in advance to any helpful humans out there!

Mortelentus · February 4, 2017

Try asking HAL on the mod thread, he keeps an eye at them.

Spider · February 5, 2017

With 15.2 installed I can build the mod successfully but when I hit the "Play" button on the SDX Launcher I get a pop up window that says "Error: could not find exe". In SDX6.0 you could start a SDX mod through Steam after it was built but that does not seem to work anymore. Any idea what could be causing my error and not letting me start the game?

Spider · February 5, 2017

Can I get some confirmation that SDX 7.0 works with Alpha15.2? I cant get any SDX mods to load on 15.2.

Mortelentus · February 5, 2017

It does work.localization has something to it, i got it working but still not exactly sure what happened.

Other then that some mods may need slight adjustments.

Are you running in admin?

Spider · February 5, 2017

Thanks for trying Mort. I just went back to 15.1, I can still get it to load a SP game on that.

Spider · February 5, 2017

I've been tryn to get a SDX mod to load on a server for two days and its worst than pulling teeth. I got it to build finally but when I try and start the server I get this error

Any suggestions? Is there instructions for how to install a SDX mod on a server because its not as simple as 6.0 was?

Spider · February 5, 2017

Also with SDX 6.0 you could start the game with out the SDX Launcher after you successfully built the mod. With SDX 7.0 I cant figure out how to start the game with out using the Launcher. Can a SDX 7.0 Mod be started like normal after being built if so how do I go about doing that?
