SatoruMasamune Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 I just got this game a couple weeks ago, and I wanted to use a mod that would let me just screw around in single player to do dumb stuff like jump across 3 rooftops to dropkick a zombie across the map. I found the http://www.nexusmods.com/dyinglight/mods/193/? "Giga fun mod", which does pretty much everything I wanted... but it doesn't recognize the Enhanced Edition updates/items/crafting recipes/etc. I was hoping somebody could help me out with a compatibility patch or something like that so I can keep stuff like my Ranger Bow and Volatile Hunter Sword, as well as the better map icons from the Enhanced Edition.

StinVec Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 That mod improperly makes changes directly to the game files inside of Data0.pak (which should never be done) and they then uploaded this modified Data0.pak file.This turned what would be a quick and easy update to a handful of files if it were made properly into a huge project involving thousands of files. I do not recommend anyone to use that mod unless the exact game version is known and that version is the one being used, as well as first making a backup the original Data0.pak file.(the author does not mention what version it is from. It might be 1.10.0 but it would be a big task to check). As the creator of that mod did not bother to make it properly by copying files out of Data0.pak and then placing modified versions into Data3.pak (as mods are supposed to be done), to update that mod one would need to go through and compare every single file in the Data0.pak file with an unmodified Data0.pak file from that game version to see what changes were made and to which files. As we do not even know what version of the game that creator used as a base before modifying it, it pretty much comes down to being forced to look at all of the elements of the game the mod says it changes and then learn what files control those aspects and then see if those changes can be made to current game version of those files.

SatoruMasamune Posted August 25, 2017 Author Share Posted August 25, 2017 I thought it was weird that every other mod I've tried modified the Data3.pak while this one changed the Data0.pak; good thing I backed up all the Data.pak files before I started trying mods. Any recommendations for other, non-jankily-made mods that have similar effects (increased mobility, expanded purchasing in shops, essentially instant leveling, etc.) and are up to date with the Enhanced Edition?
