MVirus

MVirus is an unofficial modification for 7 Days to Die. It downloads mods from the server to the client. The mod should be installed on both the client and the server to work.

Supported mods:

The mod supports all mods that do not use client-side DLLs. This includes:

• Custom models, textures, and sounds from *.unity3d files
• UI atlases for items
• POI

Compatibility:

• EAC (Easy Anti-Cheat) is not supported. Disable it in the server settings and game launcher.
• The mod has been tested on v1.2 (b27) and v1.3 (b9). We have no information about older game versions.
• MVirus works on dedicated servers and local hosts (from version 1.0.0).

Installation

Client

1. Download the latest release.
2. Unpack the archive into your 7 Days to Die/Mods folder.
3. Enable mod sharing in config.xml if you want to share your mods.

Server

1. Download the latest release.
2. Unpack the archive into your 7 Days to Die Dedicated Server/Mods folder.

Configuration:

By default, MVirus is configured to download mods only. You can customize the configuration in config.xml based on your needs.

You want to download mods only

• This configuration is used by default.
• Set the ShareMods property to false.
• This fixes a protocol error when a friend without MVirus tries to connect to your local server.

You want to share mods with your friends on LAN or the same Wi-Fi network

• Set the ShareMods property to true.
• Set the FileTransferType property to 0 to enable the internal HTTP server.
• Disable all compression options.
• Disable the CacheAllRemoteFiles property to save disk space.
• Allow the internal HTTP server port (specified in HttpPort) in your firewall rules.

You host a server (local or dedicated) without an additional HTTP server

• You need a public IP address for this.
• Set the ShareMods property to true.
• Set the FileTransferType property to 0 to enable the internal HTTP server.
• Enable static compression in StaticCompression.
• Open the port for the internal HTTP server on your router. Check the port in the HttpPort property.
• Allow the port in your firewall rules.

You have an external HTTP server for files

• Set the ShareMods property to true.
• Set the FileTransferType property to 1 to use an external HTTP server.
• Update the ExternalHTTPServerAddr property with your HTTP server address.
• Enable static compression in StaticCompression.
• Enable CacheAllRemoteFiles.
• Sync the HttpServerFiles folder with your HTTP server.

You host a local server without a public IP

• This option provides poor download speeds for your players compared to an HTTP server.
• Set the ShareMods property to true.
• Set the FileTransferType property to 2.
• Enable static compression in StaticCompression.
