What's a modlet? And what does it have to do with 7 Days to Die? Is it a pancake?

A modlet is a new kind of dessert in Alpha 17, utilizing xPath dynamic loading to incorporate xml snippets into existing XML configuration before the game loads them.

A modlet is a new kind of dessert in Alpha 17, utilizing xPath dynamic loading to incorporate xml snippets into existing XML configuration before the game loads them.

While it might seem as if this is only of interest to modders, nothing could be further from the truth! With modlets, you drop them into a /Mods folder, and that's it. No need to edit files, no need to update and fix after a version change. No need to understand much. Don't like something? There's probably a mod for that (or can be made) and you can simply use it without understanding how any of the configs work.

Watch on to see how it's done!

For access to my Blimp modlet (thanks Death2Gnomes!) please follow the link and get it here: http://vedui42.com/index.php/2018/12/20/7-days-to-die-alpha-17-how-to-create-install-modlets/

I personally am starting to think that modlet support is probably the most important feature of A17, simply as it allows for a much easier way to tweak the configs without actually editing them.

It's available in vanilla 7 days to die alpha 17 :) Basically you make a small package, and the game will "merge" it with the "real" xml files and load it.

This compared to previous versions when you had to hand-edit XML files to change them, which was tedious, and any new upgrade or even verifying the files would remove all your changes.

This is better by 1000000 % :D

So this is some kind of program that allows mods to be installed in 7 days ?
