Use the logical variant

[blazing anchor]

how do I use logical varient? im new to dev tools

[blazing anchor]

oh ok thanks

[past canopy]

You can also try to select the skin of your actual branch and see how it will look using it

[blazing anchor]

will try it in a bit thanks!

[blazing anchor]

this is what it looks like

i have to make the branch longer so it doesent look bad

[past canopy]

Looks good so far

[ruby laurel]

hello, i have a problem, i was playing normal and when i join to multiplayer, my game start to see white and black, like surival mode is stuck, i try all fix but it didnt work. I trying to send a pic how the game look but i cant

[past canopy]

That's devtools for custom maps only, no help support for campaign issues.

[blazing anchor]

ask in the support channel

[unreal olive]

I've managed to upload the map by creating a new project and copying only the custom prefabs and map directory. When I wanted to recreate the missing quests however, I cannot see and consequently add the map in the story editor.

[unreal olive]

Okay, not sure yet, but it seems I managed to brute-force it by copying SupportedMaps() section from source project's source/data/story/STORY_NAME/STORY_NAME.story file.

[unreal olive]

Just as an update, it worked. If anyone faces similar problem, try creating a new project and copying just the map and your prefab directories. Having to recreate the quests, rebuild the map and re-generate navmesh and envprobes beats losing all of your work.

[lapis halo]

Hey there, do the devtools allow the modification of sound files? Like export/import?

[alpine lynx]

DL1 yes, DL2 no

[lapis halo]

Oh, shame... So there's no other way for it either on DL2?

[ashen barn]

Any confirmation of DL: The beast tools?

[alpine lynx]

notepad is our strongest tool now and forever

[past canopy]

poor rat gets turned into a truck

[blazing anchor]

what the

[primal halo]

Bro dl2 dev tools aint even updated anymore and you want beast tools 🥀 💔

[past canopy]

He's a special dreamer

[blazing anchor]

well we will probably be getting tools for the beast in the next few months

we have for all the games so far and this is the same engine as DL2 so with some tinkering someone could probably take the files from the DL2 dev tools and just use them in the beast but it might take some coding or something

also is there anyway to make the beast bar go up faster, i feel like it takes too long lol

[trail steppe]

I've created mods for a unity game using harmony, anyone have any ideas for how it can be done for the beast?

I know they haven't released dev tools like they did for dl2, but there are already mods on nexus so there are certainly ways to do it

[past canopy]

Try to restart your game

[dark crag]

after i get out it was 9PM then is look same at morning .. voleta in morning lol

[past canopy]

day/Night time cycle issue, reload the campaign and it will fix it

[small seal]

[karmic brook]

hey how do i get those one pipes that are climbable that are yellow like the ones in the support towers at the bridge for dl1 devtools

[ancient leaf]

Just got into the city can anyone tell me any dev tools I can get

[ancient leaf]

Plz I need some I keep dying from these bum ass bosses

[past canopy]

@ancient leaf can you read what I said above?

[ancient leaf]

Oh

[alpine lynx]

i think its ladderdi preset

[karmic brook]

thanks but now i just need the object name for the yellow pipes

[alpine lynx]

pipe.msh

[covert drum]

Does anyone know how to customize a shop's inventory? I have an NPC set up as a shop (e.g., a craft master), but I want players to only be able to buy specific items like mines, grenades, etc.

Also I want to set up a hidden counter to track things like how many times a player enters and exits a room. Any suggestions on how to do this?

It would be a great to record data and send it to an xml file.

[alpine lynx]

shop_item_sets.scr and shop_assortment.scr
First one defines weapon sets and second one set presets (ones you add in trader prefab)

make your own item list in shop_item_sets, then make new/edit existing shop assortment that uses your itemset.
Then in devtools assign that shopassortment to the trader

but the problem is that it doesn't necessarily work when map is launched from main game because we dont have support for all scripts

Idk how to make counter, but I’d probably try sensor with movable logic. Every time player enters sensor area, movable will tick one node forward

and at the end of the map check which node movable has reached

[placid marsh]

how do i get Developer Tools in epic games

[copper hill]

the camera is so annoying to use :(

[plucky nexus]

What camera

[past canopy]

Obsviously the Editor Camera

[plucky nexus]

I just call it viewport

[past canopy]

🤓

"viewport"

Viewport is your screen

[oak cloak]

the technical term is the observer 🤓 👍

[alpine lynx]

observer sounds ominous as hell

[unborn flare]

Is it Possible to make a mod replacing Models or only Textures?

I found a Mod on Console that is called "E3_NPCS" and I'm reinstalling the game to install it

I'm just wondering if it will work if in case it has models

[past canopy]

Console does only support texture mods, nothing else.

[unborn flare]

Are there plans for models?

They could make them Client Side

[lavish oxide]

how do i actually enable weather for my map

i want it to have rain and for it to be dark

but in the engine its got the weather i want but when i compile its just basic day

[alpine lynx]

You need to create a story and set up weather that way. Watch part 2 & 3
https://youtu.be/MLNT6U-7V1E?si=NgSkWg8FlUfnexAW

basically you'll need only nodes Start -> SetDayTime -> End

[lavish oxide]

i mean for dying light 1 sorry

[lavish oxide]

^

[alpine lynx]

Same thing, use story phase ,set-day-time or ,weather

[lavish oxide]

ok thanls

[thorn yew]

Good

[odd pendant]

just a quick one as i can not find any info is there a way we can add custom content e.g models to Dying Light 2 like we can in Dying Light 1 ?

[rose heron]

I bought 500 Dying light points right for the store in menu but I haven't received them yet any tips? (PS4)

[shy halo]

Use #1039562481338699906 here is for modding tools (:

[rose heron]

Ok

[high steeple]

||h||

[lavish oxide]

anyone know how i can make it so i can see all previews on meshes?

[queen marsh]

hey everyone, is there some kind of documentiation that explains the naming scheme of prefabs/meshes?
trying to make a map but I'm spending 90% of my time looking for the right assets 💀
I looked through the resources on devtools but couldn't find what I'm looking for

[past canopy]

Depends on what you need

[queen marsh]

honestly any kind of detailed text documentation would be huge
my current workflow is super rough
like let's say I want to add a gutter to a building, took me a while to find it named drain pipe, I add it and it's not climbable, don't know what I should add there so dropped the idea
or I wanted to add bee hives, that's another hour of going through all the item/loot/container related prefabs and brute forcing the settings until I find out the right combination

tldr every time I try to do something new there's a knowledge barrier because all resources I found are very barebones and only explain the basics

in terms of looking for objects what I'm mostly missing rn are all the parkour things that are on roofs in the game
like all the ramps, platforms, small buildings, bridges, obstacles etc
all I found are rope bridges and some street ramps

I know atlases are a thing but even with them I end up struggling to find a lot of the objects I saw in the game

[past canopy]

I would give most hints tomorrow, that can take a while

But for now

Prefabs are groups of different mixed things

Meshes are single assets/objects

Classes are logics/ gameplay wise interactable elements

Gpufx
Smoke, flaregun fire, fire, etc - effects

Light is self explainable

[queen marsh]

I do game dev in my free time so my issue is devtools-specific knowledge

like I know what to do with things I'm familiar with
but the issue is finding the specific prefab/class that does the thing I need
and it happens a lot so not like I can solve it by shooting a few simple questions
which is why I originally asked for docs

[past canopy]

Asking for what you need is the only possible way to help you

There are no docs

Only devtools Wikipedia is available

https://dyinglight.wiki.gg/wiki/Developer_Tools

But nobody uses it

[queen marsh]

yeah because it has almost no info
mostly describes the interface

[queen marsh]

makes me wonder if techland has their secret docs for it or had to work without it

[past canopy]

New people have no idea either lmfao

Its an entire learning process

Like i said, just ask here anything

They do have docs

but not for the public to avoid leaks n shit

[queen marsh]

do you mind if I ping you with questions?

[past canopy]

"leaks"

[past canopy]

Yes, shoot with all questions

[queen marsh]

bet

[past canopy]

Absolutely

Dont understimate me

[queen marsh]

yeah that's fair
would be nice if they moderated the content and shared a public version tho

[past canopy]

Well, there are developer tools tutorials, but they did not last long, just like the DevTools 1 tutorials on their youtube channel

[queen marsh]

ye I watched the series
doesn't go very in depth but it's a starting point

[queen marsh]

@past canopy ok so I've been scrolling through atlases and prefabs for a while now
I couldn't find any roof stuff
mainly parkour obstacles but also decors
did I miss any atlas? if not what are the names to search?

[past canopy]

what type of roof

interior or exterior

[queen marsh]

exterior classic

[past canopy]

go for bld_

also check roof

dl2 has been make with the citybuilder system, thats why the game is copy paste looking like

[queen marsh]

ye I watched the talk on that
I was SO disappointed it's not included in devtools lol

[past canopy]

"its too complicated"

lmfao

[queen marsh]

oh nah, of all reasons that's the fakest one 😭

[past canopy]

nothing is complicated for freelancers

for all parkour rooftop obstacles

"custom_move_logic_atlas.prefab"

natural_movement_logic_atlas.prefab

[queen marsh]

oh yes that one's perfect, must have missed it

[queen marsh]

that doesn't narrow it down much
"roof deco" gives me a bunch of stuff but it's mostly ivy
is there a keyword or atlas for all static objects that appear on roofs?

[past canopy]

what do you need directly

static?

[queen marsh]

ye

[past canopy]

Do you need bld_ce_a_roof_str_mid_6x6_a

nah wait

shit is broken like 60% of everything

[queen marsh]

not quite sure what exactly I want yet
so would be perfect to narrow down the search so I can go through the options

[past canopy]

you also have something like "highrise"

You can also take a look into other custom maps

to see how people have done things

alot of big brainers, but also dead brainers

[queen marsh]

oh right you can just open others' maps, completely forgot about that 💀

ok so 2 more things for now
I placed containers for flowers to pick up
they work perfect in game
but they don't have any mesh preview in editor
any way to fix that?

and the other thing is what's a good way to place roads, any "hack" to make it fast or do I manually do it piece by piece?

[queen marsh]

@past canopy

[past canopy]

you mean item spawner?

[queen marsh]

also 3rd thing: how do I pull things out of atlas prefabs?
can't "open" them, do I have to make a copy of the prefab?

[queen marsh]

"container" class

[past canopy]

Use small pipette to select any

"but they don't have any mesh preview in editor"

You will need to get used to it for alot of other things too

Or the container the item name

[queen marsh]

it copies mesh without behaviour in case of the parkour obstacles

[past canopy]

rightlclick -> save as -> name ZZZZZIDK -> place -> open -> extract wanted prefab

[queen marsh]

that's wild, so there is no quick way

[past canopy]

no

Because prefabs are getting read by the game from data0 folder

which you cannot change in editor easily, thats why you need a copy and then edit it

but you can move out all custom move prefabs from the hierarchy prefab to use them anywhere

[queen marsh]

ye

and what about placing roads?

any quick way or manual piece by piece?

[past canopy]

I doubt they have snapping, so manually

[queen marsh]

ah, there's no spline tool or anything?

[past canopy]

Nope

[queen marsh]

devtools are quite an experience lol

[past canopy]

Ductape and rubberbands..

[terse sparrow]

sticks and stones

[queen marsh]

@past canopy how do I do chests with loot? complexcontainer class? it does spawn me a basket chest as I set it to but it's empty

[past canopy]

Complex container or only container

the rest is up to you

[gray yarrow]

where is korek

[queen marsh]

on a butelka?

[queen marsh]

guess I used the wrong loot type again?

success, I managed to spawn rags inside

it's crazy the dropdown list has options that do nothing

[past canopy]

I always use and place items around with itemspawner.prefab

[queen marsh]

ye but I wanted to add chests too

they are also loot but look better in the world

I wish I could see them in the editor lol

[past canopy]

toggle the filter

maybe then you can see it all

[queen marsh]

OH
last I tried it didn't work

[elder ravine]

x

[queen marsh]

@past canopy how do I do ziplines?

[past canopy]

its a class, so type zip line, select mesh "string 100m or 200m steel"

scale it with local axis

[queen marsh]

so the green "meshes" option I have no options to pick from
in the regular mesh it's already defaulting to string 100
but the texture is nothing for all the options

[past canopy]

Remember you can look into custom maps

I got ziplines in colloseum

I dont undertand what you mean with green mshes

[queen marsh]

the green highlighted property in attributes

[past canopy]

show

[queen marsh]

DM because can't send images here

or can I?

oh ok it's just displayed differently (I can't with those discord updates, hate this app)

[queen marsh]

does any of your maps include some "proper" roof parkour?
or if you could recommend someone else's to look at

[past canopy]

depends on what you need

colloseum has ziplines

[queen marsh]

basically I'm making something closer to the vanilla game
so anything like that would be the best reference for me
hell if it's possible to load the actual game map in devtools (or rather section of it so my laptop doesn't explode) that would be perfect
zipline is just one thing I'm including in the next section

[leaden rock]

anyone making any new visual mods

[queen marsh]

@past canopy how do I scale 1x1 floors with texture tiling instead of stretching?
some atlases do that but idk what I'm doing wrong

[past canopy]

Rephrase

"some atlases do that" atlases do texture tiling? that doesnt make any sense

atlases are sorted groups for easier searching

[queen marsh]

I mean I have the highrise template atlas
and it uses the 1x1 floor mesh
and it's scaled up, but the texture is tiling instead of stretching

and I can't replicate that because the texture is stretching for me and I'm not seeing the option for that in attributes

[past canopy]

Infinitely tiling up is always better than stretching into the poor resolution

[queen marsh]

yeah how do I do that lmao

[past canopy]

Give me the same or prefab, i'll look into it

[queen marsh]

just backyard_floor_1x1_a.msh

it has texture stretching and I couldn't find the option to make it tile instead

[past canopy]

look for the 6x6 version and scale it down

or cover the place with the 6x6 ver

Devtools is a hell of a place finding always alternative solutions

[queen marsh]

the only 6x6 uses different textures
and also stretches

ok solved

only some textures tile

and others just don't

nightmare inducing software

nothing is consistent

[past canopy]

Devtools hasn’t received any updates except for the texture override feature for more than three years, and it’s clear that the modding community has been Techland’s lowest priority during that time

[queen marsh]

I mean I can see that, modding isn't big in the game

question is are tools like this because of low interest or did people give up because of the tools

[past canopy]

Some people have given up because of its poor design and the lack of features compared to the unlocked version, which is almost a 1:1 copy of the original devtools. The claim of low interest is false, we want more, but we are not getting it

With the same returning excuses of "leaks" and "internal safety" which is beyond bullshit

All leaks so far have been datamined with custom made tools by the community and most files are easily accessable by winrar and notepad++

[queen marsh]

unlocked version? is it possible to get? :)

[queen marsh]

so back to the zipline thing
it's working as it should all cool
buuuut it has no texture both in editor and in game

it's not that big of a deal but would look better if it wasn't just white

there is another zipline mesh I found which is darker and thicker but textures also don't work for it

[past canopy]

select mesh -> string 200m

[uncut oasis]

hey could someone pretty please point me in the direction of the modding server? pretty please!

[past canopy]

@alpine lynx

[alpine lynx]

[alpine lynx]

i cant dm you

[uncut oasis]

ill just FQ you rq no worries

[jaunty vapor]

Hi all! Sorry for messaging here, but I didn't know where else to post:) I'm trying to design a level in DL1 Dev Tools and I was wondering if there's any way to spawn the player with no weapons. I watched the tutorial series for the dev tools but didn't find an answer to this.

[boreal willow]

Hey guys. Does anyone knows how to export you own model into dying light 2: dev tools?

[wicked marsh]

can someone explain how to select this (i was building an island map)

it wont let me select it

[oak cloak]

you need to check your filters and make sure that you are able to select water

it is the filter icon across the bar at the top of the viewport :)))

[wicked marsh]

no

how do i find it

[oak cloak]

Screenshot your project for me

[wicked marsh]

here

[past canopy]

To select water, enable the arrow next to the asset

[oak cloak]

the white funnel icon - you can make water and other objects selectable

you can also click arrow next to the water itself in the outliner (your list of objects in the map) to make it selectable - use the filters first though

[wicked marsh]

thank u so much i was confused at first

[oak cloak]

no worries bro!

[wicked marsh]

also btw

is there any possible way to make an obtainable safezone

like u gotta activate it

[oak cloak]

yes but i dont remember off the top of my head. its done through a combination of zones and the quest system

[wicked marsh]

is there any tutorial on youtube to do it

[oak cloak]

you can start simple for now and just make a physicalswitchDI and attach it to a SafeZone

[wicked marsh]

alr thanks

[oak cloak]

if you get a basegame map into devtools (by taking its .exp file, renaming it to .map and putting it into your devtools project), you'll see all of the logic objects for that map

so you could do it for the slums and find many safezone examples

[wicked marsh]

will it be laggy

[oak cloak]

no

its not all the meshes, just the logic assets

[wicked marsh]

oh

[wicked marsh]

hey uhhh do you know any way how to attach it to a safezone?

[wicked marsh]

@oak cloak do you also know how to give animations to npcs like make them sit make them do something walk a certain path yk?

[karmic brook]

when do yall think devtools will come for Dying Light The Beast

[past canopy]

Never

[wicked marsh]

does anyone know how to fix this? I was trying to create a quest using a tutorial but i noticed it had a folder with the map name and i didnt have one so i created it but it showed this error message without a source anyone know how to do this without it failing? (yes i did have notepad++ installed)

[wicked marsh]

nvm fixed it

[wicked marsh]

does anyone know how to give an animation to an npc?

like sitting

[slow iris]

It's strange, out of respect, no one even answered you.

I'm not a mapper, so I won't be able to answer you. I'm sorry.

Part 2 of Dying Light is the best game that never bores me the music the plot is all good but it would be better if the storyline was long and the addition was also long eh

[elder ravine]

Is there a way I can make interactable containers like rooftop chest and bags visible in the editor?

It is very hard to work with an object I cannot even see.

[past canopy]

Use filter button

[elder ravine]

Thank you. It was so damn annoying to work with this stuff when it was invisible!

[gleaming mica]

Does someone know how to use the "Immediate gun"

[hearty pebble]

Good evening fellas and happy nee year!

I have a question, is there an official or unofficial tool that allows me to see the name of the currently rendered meshes while in game?

I am trying to find a couple of assets in dying light 1 but I don't know what they're named and most the assets don't have a preview picture while looking for them in the official dev Tool Software

[untold lagoon]

There is a tool called UTM for DL2 afaik who made by one of the greatest codders on mod community, but idk is there any DL1 version for it. I could ask to hım can he make for DL1. But afaik (again) dev tools able to do that. Which assets would u try to find?

[hearty pebble]

The tile walls in harran stadium. There are in black and in white.

I have the pic but can't upload it and also in the lobby you can seem a flickering harran 2014 ad, I also also need to find the mesh name so I can find it

[smoky ridge]

I'm Japanese. I can launch the Steam version of Dying Light 2 in Japanese, but when I press the Play button in the developer tools for debugging, the English version launches. How can I make it launch in Japanese? Or is it only the English version that can be launched from the developer tools?

[past canopy]

Devtools only supports english

[smoky ridge]

Before I got the answer, I succeeded in launching the Japanese version from the developer tools, but since it's not a very official method, I won't go into details. The hint is fs.ini and data_platform.

Fog was made with varlist

[tight cedar]

Hey can someone tell me how to make my map fully visible when I’m playing it?

[alpine lynx]

In scene window, move your assets from Sandbox to Level

[tight cedar]

When I load it up I can only see a little bit in front of me how do I make it to where I can see everything like how I can see it when I load up the main game

[past canopy]

Deactivate dissolve option

[tight cedar]

It still isn’t working

When I’m in the editor it works but when I go to play it doesn’t

[lament relic]

@lament ravine sorry for the tag but can you remove this scam, they’re trynna be slick and put in places less used

[gaunt solstice]

Hello all! I was hoping for some (quick) assistance.

Does anyone know how to set up a time trial/challenge similar to the posters/weapons/run ones with a timer, but it kicks you back to the start on the fail state?

Currently, I'm trying to use the ",timer" phase, but if the player fails, they get kicked to the Main Menu, or if not, it just gives them a pass, without any direct way of resetting the phase that I know of.

I'm trying to make a combination of challenge types (so both run and gun combined), and not just adding the ones from the main game to my map.

I need to be able to let the player redo/restart the quest whenever the player fails (so on time run out or they reach the finish line without enough kills). Any help would be appreciated.

[wicked marsh]

does anyone know how to make the grid snap thing on the rotating tool smaller or disable it?

nvm i found out

[wraith lodge]

press f5 then disable rotate snap

Does anyone know how to assign material reaction properties (like metal, wood, or stone) to a custom model or texture imported from outside into the Dying Light 1 Developer Tools, so that it produces the correct interaction effects (such as impact sounds or footstep sounds) when the model is hit or walked on?

[dusty pumice]

Is there any rework thats been done one the dev toolkit. Last time i used it there were assets that were removed from larger set pieces which werent properly repositioned for the push pull controls. As in spawn object and have to float the camera a good 20 feet away and then try to move the object to its position while squinting at a distant object trying to align it with the maximum handicap outside of turning off my monitor. It was pretty bad upon release.

[wicked marsh]

i wish it was easier to create a storyline in the dev tools

[obtuse bison]

How is the parkour for project renaissance gonna go on mod.io ?

[leaden rock]

it wont unless techland supports further

[slow ivy]

Does anyone know if there is a way to change the uv glow of the ultra violence "light saber" & the laser fire from volkan rifle to the color of the perun axe lightning?

[leaden rock]

Change the texture of the emissive texture (ems)

[slow ivy]

I'm not even sure how to access all that with this game. With fallout & elderscrolls I knew how to. With nif scope & such

[slow ivy]

I tried copy pasting the file name from the perun shot fun efx to the volkan rifle but it did not work.

[last bone]

yo how and where can i find the old town map for dying light 1 dev tools

[desert comet]

Go here, copy data2.pak rename it to .zip or .rar open it and here maps

To open map in devtools you need: take the map folder and extract it to your project's map folder (make sure the project's map is named just like the original map), then rename the .exp to .map and done. Just load it normally

But

you won't be able to open the .sobj, so half of the map will be missing
to fix that you'll have to use brendon's tool to make you able to load the .sobj

Here is brendon's tools: https://www.nexusmods.com/dyinglight/mods/1256

Make everything like in this guide, and you can open the original Old Town map in devtools

[last bone]

wait open the data2 pak you mean?

[last bone]

@desert comet sorry for ping but can you make guid cus i cannot understand this

[last bone]

the map folder is already extracted tho

[last bone]

and btw for me data2 pak dosent have maps in it only the folder data inside DW dose have the map

like inside the DW folder and inside the data folder it has maps

[desert comet]

You should have a project where you have a map with the same name as the original map that you want to open

[desert comet]

So first create project and map(With name of original map you need) Close devtools. Then extract everything with original map to your map folder like here, reneame .exp file to .map

Now you can open your project and map and it's should work but half of the map will be missing

[desert comet]

To fix it. Download map dumper

And this is guide for map dumper

[desert comet]

I hope it will work now, but I've only done it 1-2 times myself

[last bone]

alr ty

[last bone]

wait @desert comet but for you when i rename to data2 from data2.pak to data2.rar the map is not there still

[last bone]

i use winrar

never mind i got it

ty

but i got the thing folder but give sec

[desert comet]

Here data2 with maps

[last bone]

k

ty

[last bone]

wait do i have to make new project and drag the old town folder into the new project or sm?

[desert comet]

even tho is demolisher

[desert comet]

yeah replace

[last bone]

ok done replaced

whats next

[desert comet]

did you place smth or just select smth from list?

[last bone]

selected and place

from the list yea

why

[desert comet]

to place go here

[last bone]

k

[desert comet]

You just took an object that was already on the map and replaced it with a missed map objects. + Demolisher has a height of 2 meters, so I don't know if everything will fit correctly

[last bone]

ah alr

so what should i place tho

besides a demolisher

[desert comet]

anything

try barrel

[last bone]

k

done

do i have to set the cordinate to 0?

like again

[desert comet]

yes

[last bone]

WAIT

so apperantly when i tried the set the cordinat to 0

is like the same

[desert comet]

I can't go beyond replacing an object, as my PC is weak and doesn't have enough power to replace a single object on the entire map

[desert comet]

Ok

now try replace this barrel

[desert comet]

first this

[desert comet]

then this

[last bone]

k

why is there so many?

[last bone]

btw they have same name so i replaced

[last bone]

@desert comet

[desert comet]

I think you're looking in the wrong place

5-10 minutes and i will open devtools to show you

[last bone]

ig you can open dev tools

to show

[last bone]

alr done

is loading so gotta wait

i will tell you when it worked or the whole map is loaded

but dam bro you are profestional dev tools dude 😭 😭 😭 😭 @desert comet

for some reason idk how you got that hellraid map

[desert comet]

My friend did it for me

Because hellraid map have 300000 objects

[last bone]

alr

idk but for me it seems like old town or loading things seem to crash me

[desert comet]

And my potato pc can't replace it and just devtools crashes during replacement

[last bone]

k

[desert comet]

I only have 2 maps that have already gone through this process, and all you need to do is drop the files into your map's folder, and when you open it, you'll get the original map: slums and hellraid

[last bone]

k

is done

LETS GO

Tysm @desert comet

the whole old town map is loaded but one of them has missing textures

how can i fix the missing texture tho

[desert comet]

show image what you mean

[last bone]

so uhh any idea on how to fix?

[desert comet]

I'm sorry, but I don't know how to fix this.

[last bone]

alr is fine

but hey atleast got old town tho

ty

tho

[desert comet]

Are you sure you have DL1 fully installed?

For some reason, you didn't have a maps in data2

[last bone]

yes

[last bone]

idk why man

[desert comet]

Try to check the integrity of the files in DL1's Steam or how it's call in English

[last bone]

alr but where can i even find it?

cus i actually dont know where it is

[desert comet]

1)features
2)here

[desert comet]

yeah

verify integrity of game files

[last bone]

k

[last bone]

do i need to close dev tools cus is opened

@desert comet

[desert comet]

idk

i think no

devtools is different app

[last bone]

k

[last bone]

alr im verifying the game files

i'll let you know when is done

@desert comet is done

but what is dis

js 1 failed but okay

is fine

[desert comet]

Well, then I don't know exactly why there are no textures

[last bone]

alr

[last bone]

yo uh @desert comet sorry for ping but what is dis mean????

[desert comet]

I don't know for sure, but you can try doing the whole process again, because for some reason you had both exp and map at the same time, even though we changed .exp to map by deleting the previous .map.

[last bone]

k

[last bone]

dose anyone know how to fix the old town missing textures?

i tried verifying the game fils for this to fix did not work out

[last bone]

still waiting

[pallid cove]

lol crazy no 1 response to u

[lament relic]

Not many people use dev tools they just play the game normally

Best way to get people to respond is by scrolling up and asking the people in the chat directly, they don’t get notifications for people chatting in here you have to tag them or reply to them

[pallid cove]

oh ok

[last bone]

idk what the guy is doin rn that helped me on getting the old town map

when i asked him how can i even fix the old town map texture he said that i have to download other version of old town

in dms btw

[last bone]

but idk if there is even other version of old town

[last bone]

js great vro

idevk why my project is not appearing in dev tools so anyone know how to fix it?

@desert comet do you know how to fix this???

also sorry for ping

[last bone]

nvm i fixed it

[sick grove]

Hi everyone, I've recently started to mess around with the tools for DL1 and I have a few questions that I can't really seem to find the answer to :

• Is there a way to invert a wall normals or something to get indoor walls for basic houses ? I know there already are some meshes for indoor office walls but they don't really fit in with the basic outside windowed walls
• How do I edit the player's starting inventory and skill tree ? (found)
• Is there a way to create your own prefabs of buildings and all in the DL1 devtools ? Looks like you can in the 2nd one but not in the first (found)

[austere lichen]

uninstall and reinstall the game

[last bone]

already fixed

[weary dove]

Hello everyone, I encountered a problem in the cooperative mode, the status of the game is offline, I reviewed a bunch of different guides to fix this problem, but nothing helps. I play through steam. Maybe someone has already encountered it?

[desert comet]

🤔

[crude ingot]

Anyone down to max me out in dying light 1?

[crude ingot]

Thanks for that gng

[zealous kite]

anyone know anything about the textures? Obviously i know how the Diff, Spc, Rgh, and normal work. but im not quite sure on how the IDX is used.

I assumed it was for the gradient colors, but that doesnt appear to be the case

[karmic brook]

Major problems in devtools after retouched update (dl 1)

A lot of textures are missing and broken

[sick grove]

Have you tried swapping the skins of your meshes ?

Most meshes have different skins, while the base skin of some walls for instance just doesn't have the walls you need to find a skin corresponding

[karmic brook]

Ive noticed it on a few meshes that dont even have skins, the main ones are the air vents

[mortal kiln]

Can anyone help me with navmesh? No matter what i do the editor crashes or freezes i can't figure it out

[mortal kiln]

I checked it smallest map, small terrain, some obstacles, some spawners. Instant crash every single time.

[desert comet]

This happened to me if the map was big and my PC's power was not enough. But if the map is small, I don't know exactly why. But you can try using navmesh_excluder. Place it where you don't want to make Navmesh and then when it's generated, nothing will be generated there, and it will require less power or something like that.

Idk i am noob in devtools

It's all what i can say

[mortal kiln]

This is no longer a power issue for me i literally made like a 10x10 terrain and always the navmesh crashes the whole thing

[mortal kiln]

Okay i have two issues right now:

1. I can't navmesh, no matter what i do the editor crashes
2. How can i start chases properly?

[mortal kiln]

3. Also Using the Play from here feature at a dialog the editor crashes every time

[hard seal]

anyone know how to increase the light intensity of the flashlight in dying light 2?

[zenith forge]

I been wondering the same thing

[hard seal]

I swear to god bro this game is unplayable at night with that flashlight

i browsed through mods but they're all outdated and buggy

[zenith forge]

I feel that but I some how manage but it need to be brighter like the first game

[hard seal]

yeah

[zenith forge]

I'm on the first one now just messing around

[hard seal]

spent 200 hours on the first game

it just feels too boring now

thought I'd give the 2nd game a try since people said that it's got better after updates

[zenith forge]

Wow 200 hour I'm impressed and yeah I do feel like the 2nd one has gotten better they just need too brighten up the flashlight

[hard seal]

yeah

[zenith forge]

I only have 64hours on the 1st one

[hard seal]

thats still a lot

[fallen blade]

I have 3246 hrs bro I don’t have a life😭

[zenith forge]

Lol omg and I feel that

[umbral fulcrum]

is there a way i can crossplay dying light. PC to Xbox?

My friends and i love these games however he plays on console. I was wondering if there was a way ANY way i could, I have over 300 hours on console and pc and i want to share this games joy with my friends.
