- Dedicated Server of 7 Days to Die. The mod is not meant to be used with the desktop client.
- For specific version compatibility, see release notes.
- Developed and tested on Windows. Linux may or may not work; reports are welcome!
- No dependencies: No other mods or other software is required.
- Successfully tested together with these great mods:
[coming later]
During this early phase of development the source code is not yet publicly available. The GitHub repository is just used for issue tracking and documentation. When the mod has reached stable status (version 1.0) the source code will be published and others are invited to contribute to it or use parts in their own mods.
The mod is still in early development and I want to add a lot more to it. Here are some ideas:
- Expose more game variables and functions to scripts through an easy ScriptingMod API with clear documentation
- Many more example scripts in Lua and JavaScript to get you started quicker
- Event system to execute scripts based on game events like player logged in, player killed, bloodmoon starting, etc.
- Option to execute commands through chat messages rather than console commands, for instance /home or !home
This is just a rough outline; everything is subject to change depending on your feedback, on feasibility, on my real life commitments, and simply on my pleasure to continue in any direction or at all.
Feedback is welcome! If you have any suggestions, questions, or concerns please send me a message:
