I've followed the tutorial in the web site about how to hack the files and I did it pretty much step by step but for some reason it wont work for me. I opened data0.pak with win rar extracted the files to a folder opened data and then opened inventory_gen.scr with notepad changed the values of the police baton to always have a critical hit. reopened data0.pak with win rar right clicked and selected add files to archive selected the modified inventory_gen.scr and clicked okay but then this shows up "! Cannot create __rzi_42.4887760" and it doesn't transfer the file i dont really know what to do can somebody please help me!
much appreciated. Netanel

what you describe is your winrar problem.

1. did you left game running while trying to put file back? if so, close the game and any other applications that use the data0.pak
2. you need ORIGINAL data0.pak too, if you modified it, then it means you have to reinstall the game, because for bypass to work, you need original data0.pak to get the hash from.
3. you do not need to right click in rar, just go into same directory (data0.pak) and just drag & drop the file in there. press ok when dialogue appears.

if winrar gives errors, then it is winrar, not the game and you need to ask winrar developers for help.
or simply try reinstalling winrar. maybe get new version or something.

I didn't leave the game running. and I dont think i modified the data0 file in any way i downloaded it from a direct megaupload download an it was called dead island reloaded with update 3 with co-op. and i also tried dragging but the same message comes up. and its not a problem with my winrar cause I updated it and I also tried it with winzip and a similar message came up.
any ideas?

and I dont know if this helps but this is the message i get from winzip when I try it
error temporary file failure - possible cause: disk full or system limits exceeded (c/programes files (x86)/dead island/deadisland/di/Za06720)

because you are putting it in the root, you have to put it inside of Data folder.
pay attention to what you doing
also make sure that data0.pak is not "read only"

stop panicing dude, whats wrong with you ? make a post when you know what you're posting, not like one word per post.
first test everything that i listed, make a summary what happend and then make ONE post. i merged it anyway.

its your winrar then.
why don't you just EXTRACT all the files and then zip / rar them again ?
duh .. little brain power is needed when trying to hack / mod games. repack, then use bypass on it and set it to make it into data0.pak
its all been discussed here earlier how to make it easier using batch. it doesn't have to be .rar or .zip at all, as long as its packed, then gibbed bypass can make .pak for you, which will work, but you need ORIGINAL data0.pak as input file as explained.

you fellas are making CHAOS by not reading the topic through and then you make it harder for others to follow ...

* you're on gay 7 or bista (win 7 / vista) .. so it might be some gayed up security settings that prevents the usage of temp folder / file.
most likely thats the problem. gay 7 and bista shits gay and fuck themselves in the ass and then give you such retarded errors that noone knows what they are ...
ive been fighting with my gay 7 ever since i installed it (it was biggest mistake).
* ive had similar errors during installation of programs and cause is that some files/folders generated during the installation need admin access. it definetly has read/write error.

process of adding files into .rar, is that it has to extract it temporarily (into temp folder somewhere) and then repack it with your current file. just part of the rar tho.
gay 7 and bista are also made the way so user has NO details at all to even remotely understand WTF it gayed up.
you can use procmon and make filter to monitor wtf it's doing, most likely you see where it tries to store temp files
DO NOT ask any support about procmon or winrar or anything else that isnt dead island hacks ! its already offtopic what i posted. make new topic if you have problems with procmon or gay 7 settings (into right sub-forum, like support).

high, im kinda new to this thing but the tutorials and everything are perfect and work fine

so, i managed to switch the data with the modified file, changing crit rates and some other nice stuff like boomerang % chance but it seems that the only critrate worked here is fists, boomerang worked nicely too but i wanted to make all my weapons modded with electricity/fire/whatever give the mod effect but it just dosen't work, any suggestions on what could go wrong?

i changed both inventory.scr and inventory_gen.scr
thanks

I think the problem is that he doesnt have enough place on C. Like eventough you have enough place on D:\ or F:\, if you dont have enough pace on C:\, it cant move it to the temporary files on C, so that it wont work.

problem is that there are more than 1 place where you have to make changes.
i don't remember this from head and can't bother checking, but inventory.scr and inventory_gen.scr files exist in more than just 1 archive file.
they exist in 3 different files, so you must modify them in every archive, then repack..etc

i think they are in Data0.pak, Data2.pak and Data3.pak, maybe Data1.pak.
latest mod i released definetly had 3 files. i don't know when/how game reads them, but all of those inventory files seem identical, so i have NO idea why game would have them doubled. just copy-paste it into each archive after you make changes and repack then replace.

ok, i'll try that, thanks. eventually i gave up looking and came up with a different approach, i play with logan so i simply changed the skill values of the crit giving skills he had and it worked just fine, now it looks kinda balanced too cuz i actually need to lvl him in order to achieve those crits, makes the game as fun as it should be, thank you anyways

yeah skills should work if you change in just Data0.pak
but lot of stuff (like weapon stats..etc) have to be changed in all of them.
