eheh why am i not surprised ? like avp2010, where ammo was client sided. i remember when i started out with avp2, everyone said something like "you stupid hacker future games will be impossible to hack" .. while now as we see, they are even less secure.
be careful on steam tho. VAC might get you.

you can make a list of hacks and put behind if it works on steam or not and ill update first post and wiki article.

donations are always welcome :)

Modding Dead Island .pak files crashing saved game

Post by djbnw »

The gibbed crash fix isnt working for me.
Ive followed everything on general modding (looking up other sites on modding the files)
but fix only lets me run the game , but the game crashs after a few seconds at the loading page when i click continue

All i changed was the ammo cap in default skills
Can you upload a simple modded data0.pak file for me to test if the problem is on my side/my game, else it would be my procedures , which i doubt cause i tired many times.

Hope someone can help/ has fixed such an issue

Thanks

***Scenarios***

1: Without using gibbed crash fix , replace data0.pak with self modified data0.pak, Dead Island doesnt run

2: Using gibbed crash fix , data0_moddified.pak is placed into dead island folder and renamed (original is removed) , Dead Island runs . Click on continue ... loading screen....wait...crash-to-desktop

if it shows loading screen, then you did something wrong. it isnt the bypass that aint working. if it would be that, then you would never even see the dead island logo.
it means you must have made a mistake somewhere, not everything can be changed. some things crash if its invalid value. or maybe you accidently deleted one of the ; marks (i did that once by accident).

so yeah, problem is your mod what you made.

additionally, what im doing is i made data0.zip < this is the file i constantly modify.
then there is my original "data0.pak.orig"
and output is data0.pak
so this way i just run the batch, get data0.pak and then i just drop it into game folder and there it is. no renaming at all. however sometimes if you make a mistake and game crashes (like yours) then its good idea to always throw your current data0.pak out of the game folder and not replace it. or rename old one. so you can revert back if necessary.


UPDATE:

have anyone tried to edit shops.scr ?
im trying to get legendary weapons, but it seems like shops aint updating at all. im guessing they are stored also in savegame, so it is needed to start fresh new game to get results or do few missions. going to test again tomorrow.

I got my moddified data0.pak file to work , i believe it only worked once i deleted the extracted folder of the pak from the dead island game files, didnt think it would affect the game but it did.

I didnt believe i enetred an invalid value cause i searched the web and saw someone increase his ammo cap to 999k , while i only changed it in the hundreds

Are you using your own bat file? Cause the gibbed crash fix wont accept other files names to give me the moddified one.


Anyway im just wondering , what should i change to increase gun damage to JUST zombies , esp for headshots. Has anybody found out a way to do so currently?

Thanks for the help anyways :D

gibbed crash fix accepts ANY files you put there. even if name is like "blah.set"
you just messed something up, if you don't understand how simple CMD tool works, then most likely you messed up with the fix and didnt really make a new fix at all and used some old file or made other type of chaos.

Hey Sethioz,

I donated 8 Eur today. Will try and donate some more in time, bought a few things around the house this week on eBay.

Anyway. I recently got a dev weapon 'left hand of gloVA'.....it's inside of the inventory_special.scr file on line 702-753 and 755-775

I changed the stamina, force, damage.....and nothing a few times... It's still default... Going to keep trying..

Do you know what it could be? Do I need to start new game or play a few missions like you stated for the shops.scr stuff?

thx for donation :)

umm well i never heard of such weapon, how did you get it ?
i tested shops.scr and i cant seem to get it to work. i googled and found few guys who say that it works. even some youtube video, but it doesn't work for me. i started a new game with sam b, still nothing.

i don't understand where those shops load items from ? i deleted absolutely everything else from the shop and it STILL loaded some random weapons in there, instead of legendary weapon.

It's a developer weapon found on the beach mountains. I believe it is also called the 666 dev weapon.

When equipped it's just your left hand doing a gesture of pushing I guess you could say air in front of character, the effect if in range to a zombie is electrocution.

Problem is each use brings stamina 100% down, damage is very low, and durability is crap.

Going to keep messing with it and ask a few fellow modder's but unsure why it's not taking the new settings. I might have to try a new game but problem is I was led to this weapon by another live player so not 100% sure where to go. This weapon can't be duplicated with the drop glitch like other dev weapons.

I keep cracking away if anything pops up I'll post for fellow modder's.

offtopic - it is not 666 dev, it is "left hand of glova" and blueprint (mod) for that weapon is something with 666. it gives the impact (electricity knock down) effect to it. it is the skull weapon. you can get it by collecting the right skull and placing it into right place (i never bothered to look).

back to the topic, i have created my own weapon .. and it is GLORIOUS !
its a Prototype weapon called "Left Hand of Sethioz" .. its orange and it has power of GOD, its infinite and it has more range than you can see on maps .. and it literally explodes enemys into pieces.
video demonstration here:



UPDATE:

after testing around for hours, im still not sure what makes enemys fly away when hit. i tought its force + impact mod, but it isnt.
so i tested many times and finally i added ORANGE color to the weapon and it seem to work, but its not confirmed yet if its the color.
i added 1 more damage type to my Prototype, so now it has blast + impact and its glorious.
i change critical to 1.0 (100%), then i also changed the head / leg / arm cut probability to 100% and head smash to 100% too. so this is what gives my weapon the awesome "blow up" effect on enemys.
force is about 80000, damage about 5000, range 9000 and lot of small tweaks. like HUD icons and such. i put it together from 5 or more different weapons + mods.

left hand of gloVA
gabriel's sledgehammer
tesla mod
impact mod
fists
666 dev mod (or whatever it is)

so all those mixed together using right attributes and results are seen on that youtube video. i wanted to make it electricution weapon, but it doesn't seem to work. it does electricute, but it wont stay like on bladed weapons. maybe it has to be blade + electric to get the effect.


right now im annoyed of testing and savegame sucks big time in dead island. whenever i use other character i lose my current savegame. its so lame. i had half quests done, loaded other char and it was all gone. pfff.
now i have showed that it is possible to indeed create your own weapons. it should be even possible to load your own HUD icons and images into game or even new models.

Hi all, sorry to be a noob and everything but I was wondering if I was doing it right. 'Cause, whenever I tried to open the bypass cmd, it would just flicker on and close. And I wasn't sure on the instructions in the notepad too. Thanks for your time.

its a comand line tool. it does not magically repair anything, you have to give it inputs and output. learn how to use command prompt first. from there write a batch to run it with a single click.

..or why not use the EXAMPLE that is inlcuded in the package ?

Re: Dead Island - hacks / hacking / mods / modding

Post by Sethioz »

once again i have done something incredible, my characters will now go up to level 100. i can make it up to 1000 or any other number i want to put in there.
its also possible to manipulate EVERYTHING based on levels. i can make it take less stamina based on levels, give more max health, i had health on 50000.
i can make health regenerate only based on levels or any other tweaks you can think of. absolutely anything seem to be possible if you are smart enough. you can convert any skill into a level based skill.

such as RAM or picklock ..etc.
its also possible to combine skills from other characters and make it level based, its incredible what can be done.
however im not sure if zombies will get stronger when leveling past 50. im 53 right now.

only thing that seem to crash the game, is the QuickSlotsCount. if that is past 8 (max allowed by game), then game does not have animation for it and crashes.


NOTE - you have to do it right or you just screw up your savegame !
it means you cant just add level 100 anywhere you want, it has to be sequential and exp have to be proper, as everything else have to be proper too.
this also allows you to get all skills possible, 99 skill points should be maximum needed in order to get all skills on level 3.

There's just no limit what i can do by manipulating levels. im very sure i can convert skills and make it level based, so once you level up, you automatically gain a skill, like getting logan's boomerang skill on any character or other way around. WOOT ?

Hey

Have you tried to add more levels/ranks to skills?
Like you can put 5 skills points into more damage for <player-specific> weapons , crit , all those.
I wonder if they will work.

Also if you have found the way to make level based skills , could you show what has to be done?

Oh what attributes reduce jump kick stamina cost , and which file? If i want it to be level based? How would that be done?

Thanks :D

Cheers,

Re: Dead Island - hacks / hacking / mods / modding

Post by Sethioz »

my characters will now go up to level 100
isnt that what i said in my last post ?
as i have explained already, YES all that is possible.
i said im not going to post tutorials about this, if you have request ill do it and put it into my hacks / mods shop.
in short, everything is in skills and levels. you just need high IQ to manipulate levels and skills. there is NO point for me writing tutorial about each thing, its just repeating myself over and over.

UPDATE:
i fucked up with levels, there is a sideeffect i didn't notice. if you go over 50, then weapons also go over 50, but weapons have no attributes past 50, which means they do 0 damage and everything else is 0 too that is level based.
so it was a bad idea to make it go past 100. now i have level 67, 80 ..etc weapons in inventory that i cant use + they have 0 damage.

it still is possible to make it, but then you would have to change each weapon individually i guess, i havent checked into it. level 50 is good enough.

Lol ok .... no not really high IQ , just knowledge of how things work.
Wasnt asking for a full tutorial , just what to put in , nvm im clever enough to do that , since ive created nice little advanced search engine and filter for one of my project, this compares nothing to it.

I alrdy added inventory slots every 10 lvls and im planning to increase stamina by every few levels , so yeah i guess ill do it the hard way and worse case , ill do it by trial and error.

Just say it , you want money.

Re: Dead Island - hacks / hacking / mods / modding

obviously you cant write your own skills there, but it seems like you can take skills from skills file and convert them into levels. so you gain them leve based.
you can also change allowed skill points

yes i want money for my time. if it means that i have to make a premade hack that one requests, then ofcourse. my research is free, but my time isn't.
go say that to CH and AA. they would ban you for that anyway, because they are all about money, i do my research for free and post in public.

Looks like Steam re-patched. I got an email from Techland saying they fixed the issue. I don't even see any differences. Mod's still work. The version is still. 1.2.0 or 1.20 whichever it is...

Back to modding.

///////////////////////////
HOW TO USE GIBBED BYPASS /FOR DUMMIES
///////////////////////////

This is intended for people who are new to batch or cmd files, or simply if you haven't been able to get Gibbed Bypass to do it's thing.

Before you start, we need some tools.
-WinRAR - Free / http://www.win-rar.com/download.html
-Notepad ++ - Free / http://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/v5.9.3.html
-Gibbed Bypass - Free / http://sethioz.co.uk/forum/download/fil ... 090b9c0e36

Alright, on to the part where most get stuck.

Traverse to your Dead Island directory, for example this is where mine is located;
"c:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\dead island\DI"

To make things more simple, make a shortcut to that directory on your desktop.

Inside of the DI folder, grab the 'Data0.pak' file, and make a copy of it somewhere else easy to find.

Open 'Gibbed.deadisland.crash.fix.hack.zip', copy all the files into your DI folder.

Now, right click on 'fix it.bat' file...not the notepad one....and click edit.
Inside this file at the bottom you will see a command line with settings:
Gibbed.DeadIsland.FixZip.exe -v -o "Data0.pak" "Data0_MODIFIED.zip" "Data0_MODIFIED.pak"

Change that line to this:
Gibbed.DeadIsland.FixZip.exe -v -o "original.pak" "modified.pak" "Data0.pak"

Got it?

Now, notice we changed all three...and if you look inside the DI folder we don't even have those files right?...Right lets go fix that.... you can go ahead and save & close the batch file...

Now, make a copy AGAIN of your Data0.pak file inside the DI folder. You should have 2 of them right?

Rename one to original.pak
Rename other to modified.pak

So now their shouldnt even be a Data0.pak in their....our bypass program will make it for us.

Make sure you are being case sensitive because cmd lines are....
so if inside the batch file is Modified.pak, then make sure inside the DI folder you have it Modified.pak, and not modified.pak, because it may not work......


Alright, so were done right? No. Here are some tips.
-Don't mess with the original.pak file. Gibbed bypass uses this original checksum to fake the modified.pak checksum.

-Make sure you at least mod 1 thing inside of your modified.pak file, or the program will quit because the checksums are the same.

So, open modified.pak, inside data, scroll down to Inventory.scr....drag and copy that file to your desktop or work folder
right click on it and open with Notepad++

Now go ahead and use Sethioz's guide on finding some things to mod. Try not to change everything at once or you'll regret all that time spent and it doesn't even work or you screwed it up major.

Save it. Drag it back into the modified.pak Data folder or wherever you got the file from. Close that out.
Now you can run the FIX IT.bat file.

If you don't get an error, you did good so far. It will close by itself, and you will see it generates a Data0.pak file for you.

Now run your game. If it doesn't crash you followed along correctly. If it crashes re-do the steps carefully you missed something.

Then, check if your mods work. Sethioz is able to get more mod's work then me and I have no idea how.....but one reason is mine is thru STEAM so a lot of thing he can do, I cannot.

Hope this helps some of you guys. - Motex

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

Re: Dead Island - hacks / hacking / mods / modding

Post by Sethioz »

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.

i have 30GB of free space on it, although the disc is compressed, could that be a problem?

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.
