StarterKits

Custom Kits Update

Requires: 7 Days To Die V3.4 (b10)

**New: Kit Editor (main menu)**
- New **Starter Kits** button in the main menu (above Quit) opens a kit editor.
- Edit the built-in kits or create, duplicate and delete your own.
- Grant any attribute, perk, perk book, whole book set or magazine, with the level you want. Perks are grouped like the in-game skill screen (Attribute > Category > Perk).
- Give any item, item mod or placeable block (workbench, chests, ...) with live search, count and quality.
- Pick a kit picture from the built-in portraits or any game icon, or import your own .png/.jpg and crop it to the portrait size.
- "Kit Stats" lines can be generated automatically from the kit, or kept hand-written.
- Kits are saved to `Mods/StarterKits/Kits/kits.xml` and can also be edited by hand. Changes show up the next time the kit window opens, no restart needed.

**New: Kit selection window**
- Redesigned: kit cards with portraits, a large preview, a two-column perk list and inventory-style item slots coloured by quality.
- Any number of kits (scroll the list with the mouse wheel).

**New kit: NEGAN** (Slugger) - clubs, Batter Up! book set, Pummel Pete, Strength Mastery and a Q6 baseball bat with mods.

**Multiplayer**
- The server sends its kits and kit pictures to every player when they join. Players only need the mod installed (same version as the server).
- To set up a server: build your kits in your own game, then copy `Kits/kits.xml` and `Kits/Images/` into the server's `Mods/StarterKits/Kits/`.

**Notes**
- Your own `Kits/kits.xml` and `Kits/Images/` are not part of the download, so updating the mod never overwrites them.
- If you already saved kits with the editor, new default kits from updates are not added to your `kits.xml` automatically. Use "Reset All" in the editor or add them by hand.

**Installation**
Extract the StarterKits folder into your `7 Days To Die/Mods` folder. Harmony (0_TFP_Harmony) ships with the game, nothing else needed. EAC must be disabled (the mod contains a DLL).
