[vivid tulip]

?

[dusk dagger]

Doesn't work anymore I'm pretty sure

[blissful portal]

How can I make a build of my map to run in other computer? I'm building everything but I can find it afterwards! Where does the pre-compiled build go?

[alpine lynx]

C:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Dying Light 2\DevTools\projects

[blissful portal]

Yeah, I found that but I don't have any autoexecutable. I guess then taht with the project folder (after a build) should be enough for someone to open it from their own Development Tools, right?

[alpine lynx]

Yes correct

[blissful portal]

Oh, right. Then it's my bad. I was looking for some sort of executable or something. So my project folder after a build is enough. Thank you very much.

[torpid horizon]

There is no executable it just runs in dev tools

I hope they make it so that you can just play threw steam and dont need the dlc

[elder ravine]

im professioanl for this

[elder ravine]

would u happen to know how to make a shotgun (rusty one) to shoot 60 crossbow bolts

[elder ravine]

@elder ravine what kind of pussy shit is this

[lusty fox]

am i nsane or is there no prop for the overpass on ramps.... theres like 1 straight piece which is called an entry but its impossible to make the curved ramp using it.... what is the piece called or is it just not in the editor

[hidden cedar]

trying to generate timeline for a new dialog and I'm getting this warning. anyone know a fix?

[elder ravine]

How do I make a simple portal to another location on the map? I'm talking a about a door

that teleports

[alpine lynx]

Check localportal.prefab

Mapportal.prefab if you want change whole map

[lusty fox]

it seems like containers and switches not working at all has been reported quite a lot and the fact many maps are either unplayable or significantly worsened by their not woking HOW ON EARTH has it not been fixed yet.... or are we just getting NO updates till the full release

[dusk dagger]

dev tools is never getting updated

[past canopy]

Lack of informations for some things, latest updates breaking kinda everything, devtools is maybe on some "hold one" line i guess

[elder ravine]

I've found that but not sur ehow to set it up

[alpine lynx]

1. Place down two local portals and name them, e.g. portal_in & portal_out
2. Open portal_in attributes and set m_SpawnPoint -> portal_out
3. Open portal_out attributes and set m_SpawnPoint -> portal_in
   And thats it

If portals dont work try force prefabs xfrom hierarchy in game

and make sure you use m_SpawnPoint, not m_SpawnPoints

[elder ravine]

[dire lantern]

Hello, anyone played with UV areas? I'm trying to replicate a bus nightrunner spot but can't seem to find out how the generator is supposed to be connected to a UV lamp (lights) and a UV area (infected restriction). Basically how the logic works. If anyone knows how or can point me to an atlas or helper that shows that in the editor I would be grateful.

[hidden cedar]

Anyone experiencing issues with devtools since the update? My terrain is borked atm

[alpine lynx]

I answered in that thread. Idk why some updates break terrain

[alpine lynx]

Have you found and placed down the logic prefabs already?
If yes, connect generators m_ControlledObjects to UV area. Set that UV's m_enabled to false

you can also hook that light to generators controlledObjs

[bitter yarrow]

how do you get access to the devtools

[trail atlas]

download the dlc

[hidden cedar]

Yeah I figured that was the case. I wonder why as well, don't think there are updates with the devtool, otherwise it would've been on the patch notes right? 🤔

[green forge]

I am new here, but is the Dev Menu pretty much unable too he used in thr current build of Dying light 2? Was anyone ever able too fix it ?

[elder ravine]

I got a major problem I bought the definitive edition and i have all the dlcs and everything and I was playing and a modded or whatever joined and I lost like everything not my game save but just like the docs does anyone know how to fix this I’m on ps4

[elder ravine]

If you can roll back your save

maybe try that

but not sure

consoles are hard to screw with so that'd be a complicated thing to fix

[tardy rapids]

Can someone help

[fathom marsh]

You can get dev on console?

[alpine lynx]

Unlock terrain patches, generate satellite textures and lock patches again

[alpine lynx]

Nope

[dire lantern]

Hey, thanks for the reply. Don't know what logic prefabs are, sorry. I did connect a "ow_activity_uvspots..." and a "frn_industrial_lamp_floor_a". The latter one is just a mesh though and I'm not sure if there is a prefab/functional item for uv lights that would work with the generator. A part from that I can't seem to make the generator work by the Player so can't test if the connection works either. I turned the generator's TRIGGER STATE -> m_State to Off (was set to Working by default) but in play mode there is no option to turn it on (like in the game in nightrunner hideouts).

[dire lantern]

ok, nvm with enabling the generator, figured it out, will check the test the uv later

[vernal knot]

hey guys uh, I just opened the example town map and it looks like I've been flash banged

absolutely no idea what's going on here

[alpine heart]

What are Devtools

[vernal knot]

map editor

[alpine heart]

Nice

[alpine lynx]

@brittle aurora did you solve this white screen issue?

[vernal knot]

oh is this a known issue? Seems to have something to do with the lighting be atrociously overblown

[valid shore]

hey, having the same issue + lighting is broken in gamemode too

[alpine lynx]

I have no idea, I thought only Andus devtool was bugged but seems like others got that too

I have no issues like that

Send support ticket with your setup. Maybe its some hardware related thing
https://dyinglight2.support.techland.pl/en/support/tickets/new

[brittle aurora]

stil no idk

I checked every option & button I could enable / disable and nothing changed

[random badger]

@brittle aurora @vernal knot I managed to fix the blown out lighting issue by deleting everything in the <project directory>\work and <project directory>\tmp directories while the application was closed.

Example:
D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Dying Light 2\DevTools\projects\Intersection\work
D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Dying Light 2\DevTools\projects\Intersection\tmp

Obviously I then needed to rebuild everything (including envprobes) after that was done.

If you're going to try this then it's probably a good idea to take a backup of your project first.

[brittle aurora]

It worked thanks 🙂

[elder ravine]

For some reason I can see FX like blowing trash / leaves in the editor but not in the actual map game once started

[tardy rapids]

How do I give Aiden skills In my map

[elder ravine]

put this file in that place

"prequel" will be the name of ur map

that file gives him all skills except paraglider and grappling hook

if u want to give him those skills, use notepad++ to open the player setup file and take out the /// to the left of the desired skill, and put /// to the left of any skill u dont want him to have

Only edit things below this line

[elder ravine]

here, see above

have fun :P

[tardy rapids]

Thank you so much. I appreciate it

[cold magnet]

@elder ravine here ask here

[elder ravine]

Hey Dying Light devs, how do you convert audio files to .fsb?

[elder ravine]

Is it possible to add new files to a .csb audio bank without having to replace one?

[alpine lynx]

Yes. Add generated workshop audio bank to audiodata.scr
Answered to that other question in the thread you made

[elder ravine]

WHAT?! ARE YOU SERIOUS RIGHT NOW?!
Thank you SO much!

[hearty swallow]

how can i get the pole vault in dev tools

[alpine lynx]

pole.prefab

you can dissect zone_level_nm_pole_vault.prefab

get rid of that zone logic in it

[hearty swallow]

ty

[alpine lynx]

keep yourself safe

[hearty swallow]

you too bub :)

[fossil bloom]

Anyone here wish Techland added the cut content to the mod tools?

343i is doing something similar with the old halo games

[fossil bloom]

I really wanna see the animals again seeing mountain goats jump between buildings would be so cool

[desert cairn]

Any news on when devtools are coming to console? Did they say mid-year?

[past canopy]

Devtools will never be a thing on console

[fossil bloom]

Do you mean mods?

[desert cairn]

I mean the map maker tools, they said it will eventually come to console (mentioned when they announced map maker tools for pc)

[fossil bloom]

This map maker isn't like Forge it's a dev tool and is only on PC

[past canopy]

Custom maps are coming to console but not the Tools

[unreal crypt]

Hello everyone, please tell me how to give out certain skills?

[alpine lynx]

Via story editor, use GiveSkill or SetPlayerPreset nodes

#🔧︱dev-tools message

^ random example

[brittle locust]

Guys i made a mistake, i used a trainer to get few inhibitors to get the drop skill, but trainer gave me too much, any way to reduce the inhibitors somehow? I don't want to be OP at start it ruins the fun

I guess ill force myself not to upgrade utill i reach the next lvl

[heavy mist]

I mean bro you can restart the game you can't really reduce it

[cedar meadow]

Anyone know how to get dev menu

[alpine lynx]

become developer

[cold coral]

there are mods to unlock it but what are you asking to get access to @cedar meadow

if its to cheat there are external cheating softwares you can use i personaly use them when i play solo

[unreal crypt]

Hello everyone, for what reasons can DevTools crash when testing a map? I didn't really build anything, landscape and objects, not stories.

Sometimes I sit for hours and everything is fine, I build something from objects, then eventually at some point it will start to constantly come out until you roll back the files, sorry for my English.

[prime sluice]

i need help

for dying light 2?

anyone?

[cold coral]

ive seen a few maps with a flashbang effect

[unreal crypt]

Yes, Dying Light 2.

I found a solution, the problem was in MapStart, after some time, it needs to be installed again on a new one, before that reloading the map without it. Do you know how to solve the problem? And are there any guides on how to work with cut scenes? Thanks to everyone who answers.

[cold coral]

cut scenes might not be in the tools yet

random guess but their probly trying to get the core tools down like terrain items sounds and you know the basics before they go and give a animator or even a cut scene tool

[past canopy]

The tools have already a cutscene tool

which is named after "sequencer"

[cold coral]

oh ok sorta thought they were just forging the tools

[hushed flint]

[tardy rapids]

How do I get a monkey bar

[unreal crypt]

How to set automatic terrain lock when starting a map test? I often forget, I have to do it all over again)))

[unreal crypt]

monkeybar.prefab

[harsh heron]

Anyone got the broom on ps5

[torpid horizon]

bruh

wrong channel bro

[tardy rapids]

how to i make the player have the e3 outfit in my map?

[unreal crypt]

Is there any way to make the water flow?

[alpine lynx]

No, but you can change surface speed so it looks like its flowing

[trail atlas]

they literally got rid of the unused animal models lol

there used to be a few but their models are now missing

[tardy rapids]

How do I make the pole swing work?

[unreal crypt]

Hello everyone, does anyone know if it's possible to pull a map from the game into DevTools, I'm interested in the location from the prologue of the game.

[past canopy]

No it's not possible

[unreal crypt]

Please tell me how to make the chest opening animation work? Precisely the animation works, but the box does not open

Thanks for all the answers

[past canopy]

Animations are currently bugged

Means, levers, fuse boxes etc arent working as well

since MONTHS

[unreal crypt]

It’s very pitiful and strange, I thought I was doing something wrong, in the first part everything worked, except for the perfect surface)))

[past canopy]

dont worry about the most non working stuff

since the tools are still in "beta"

[cloud ether]

@past canopy check #devtools-faq

but wait, there's more 👀 in a bit

[past canopy]

I'm busy now, will be available in some hours again :))

[cloud ether]

Return 2 Harran modding contest is live!
Choose one of two themes to create your map:

Return to Harran

Rebuild the map of the city that started it all. Mix assets from both games in the series to create your alternative take on the world, story, or overall vision of the original.

Prison Heist

Who could forget the classic DLC from the first Dying Light? 30-minute mission. New map. Small scope. Dense gameplay. Prove you can make a better rendition of the Prison Heist.

All details, instructions and prizes are listed here: https://pilgrimoutpost.techlandgg.com/goodies/return2harran

You got time to submit your map until July 14th - good luck!

[hushed flint]

Nice

[trim knot]

So the contest is to recreate as solo or with a team, a full map of a AAA game that had a big team to work on right, in 2 months right? 😂😂

It's like asking to 100 people to recreate Roma lol

Just asking BTW, I'm not sure I got it right

[cloud ether]

I think it would be crazy to expect people to recreate whole game

[cloud ether]

it's said there to "create your alternative take on the world, story, or overall vision of the original. "

so something inspired by it, make it small district or something.

Then again, people did amazingly complexed huge maps last time, and had way less time. With some dedication, I can imagine they would be capable of doing whole Harran

[alpine lynx]

lets cook

[elder ravine]

JESSE WE GOTTA COOK

[frail scarab]

Let's say we pick Harran one, how much are we supposed to recreate(Like, can we do just a part of the slums, or we gotta do all), and how much creative freedom we have in recreating the map, since there's little dl1 assets we have avaiable

[cloud ether]

it's complete creative freedom

if you want to make completly new zone, that is inspired by Harran, then by all means

[frail scarab]

Let's say I wanna do Harran part from the contest, can I do like a part of the slums, or would I have to recreate the entirety of it?

[frail scarab]

Also, there's still missing assets from DL2 that would be amazing to use

[cloud ether]

#1051799719313150013 is a place to go

[frail scarab]

Actually asked for more assets from the very first contest

[past canopy]

The tools are still in a beta state so wtf another Contest

Alot of things will break and frustate players again

💀

[frail scarab]

I really fucking hope they fixed the crashes and progress loss

Would've loved if they added more assets from DL2 and 1 into Dev Tools, it's quite lacking tbj

[past canopy]

[frail scarab]

crex

pls

[past canopy]

I'm sorry to disappoint you but it will be the same like previously

Crashes, issues, external edits

Data mining

[frail scarab]

https://tenor.com/view/crying-meme-black-guy-cries-sad-man-thank-god-for-my-reefer-hood-news-gif-24902056

[past canopy]

I know..

Techland wants us to suffer

6 spots only

[frail scarab]

welp, if they want to play hard, so will I, time to unpack their damn files again and extract my own assets by force if I have to

[frail scarab]

you doing harran or prison?

[past canopy]

Stop asking, i wont tell

[frail scarab]

meanie

[frail scarab]

Do you know the preset name for Spike for human ai?

[dusk dagger]

Techland will do 50 dev tools contests before updating it

[torpid horizon]

They actually fixed dev tools

[pearl rivet]

anyone figure out what name the new assets are under? i tried searching for haran and prison and couldn't find anything

looks like some of them are under dl_s

[alpine lynx]

I posted list somewhere but cant find it anymore. But yea 99% of them are dl_s

[cloud ether]

DL1 assets are thos eunder dl_s yeah

But we can see you ask for more, I will pass on the feedback to the team

[frail scarab]

Would love to see more assets from DL1 and DL2, the more assets we have at our disposal, the more you can expect

[fast palm]

hi everyone, I don’t know if I’m in the right place to ask this question, but is cross play available between platforms, for example PC/ps5?

[torpid horizon]

Were some of them added tj the dev tools?

[torpid horizon]

I dont think it is

[fast palm]

ok ty, are you sure ? ^^

[cloud ether]

There is no new ones added.

[past canopy]

in beta state

[cloud ether]

oh Bub

[alpine lynx]

Im fine with beta, except the hover highlight is not working after 1.10.0(?) update

[cloud ether]

gonna DM you 👀

[alpine lynx]

Sure thing

[torpid horizon]

@cloud ether will there be any performance changes to the editor?

3 FPS be wildin

And in UE5 I have 50 - 60

[frail scarab]

Think you can explain more on your performance issues?

[torpid horizon]

Its just low performance

Even if I stop animations

If there was a way to decrease quality or resolution

[alpine lynx]

Whats your setup

[torpid horizon]

Predator helios 300 2019

As I said no problems in UE5 and other softwares

[random badger]

When the editor boots up it creates an editor video settings and ingame video settings file which should be in this directory:
<Dying Light Dev Projects Directory>\<project_name>\work\out\settings

You can try lower the settings in those .scr files (open them up with a txt editor like notepad++ or vs code), and see if that improves performance in the editor.

[torpid horizon]

Thx

[past canopy]

Here guys, i made some basic and more direct explainations on something by making a developer tools page
https://dyinglight.wiki.gg/wiki/Developer_Tools

This will problably answer some questions, its still WIP but i will try to finish it on the next weekend

[dusk dagger]

awesome

[past canopy]

Story Editor and Dialog Editor is missing which i already know, but i'm also trying to learn by doing for the next coming stuff

[torpid horizon]

Also does anyone know a name of a parking line decal?

[alpine lynx]

decal_metro_line

some in e3_road_decals

[torpid horizon]

thx

@cloud ether How do tag the map on mod.io?
In the last contest there was a tag "Contest". Is there a new one?

[cloud ether]

I will find out and get back to you on that

[torpid horizon]

thx

[dusk dagger]

you already made a map?

[ember bison]

Imma say it here instead. So did they add DL1 assets into dev tools for the event? Cuz they said they would but I don't see anything

[torpid horizon]

Just asking

[torpid horizon]

I dont see anything as well

[ember bison]

sad

[gaunt mesa]

Has there been any kind of news on console getting access to community maps made by dev tools?

[alpine lynx]

Did you start new project or do you use old project?

[alpine lynx]

soon™

[torpid horizon]

there is something called dlc1 or smth

altho on most of meshes I dont see a preview just text

[ember bison]

new

I think

lemme make another one

[torpid horizon]

Is there a way to stop aiden from crawling and force him to walk?

[cloud ether]

Hey hey, new tags for contest should now properly display on modio

[torpid horizon]

thx!

[brittle aurora]

Someone wanted to make us hungry 😆

btw. this mesh is invisible in editor no matter which skin I select

[torpid horizon]

Most meshes from dl1 dont work

[cloud ether]

Is it possible to ask for examples of which ones?

So I could pass that over to the dev team 🙂

[torpid horizon]

I will be back home around 4pm polish time

I will send you screenshots

[cloud ether]

Would be wonderful, I appreciate it!

Feel free to drop them in my DMs to not clutter the channel

[torpid horizon]

Or 5pm dont know

[cloud ether]

Ayo there was an update just now, adressing the bright light issue, please check and lmk if it's fixed

get pinged @past canopy

[past canopy]

@cloud ether @cloud ether @cloud ether @cloud ether @cloud ether @cloud ether
For sure i will see if its still there.. and by typing this message i just got pinged again! hurray!

[cloud ether]

also @random badger @alpine lynx and idk who else is interested

[alpine lynx]

Will do

[past canopy]

Yup, fixed for me

[cloud ether]

very poggers to hear that

[torpid horizon]

Does anyone know if there is sand texture in dev tools?

Or is there a way to import one?

[random badger]

🤣🤣 will check it out

[worthy shuttle]

Looking for a Ping? Detected Ghostping of @cloud ether by @crude magnet

[cloud ether]

[crude magnet]

I couldnt post an image

very sad

I wanted to ask about the bright light issue

[cloud ether]

it's about the scene being very bright when you start new project

it should be fixed now, if you try to start new one

[crude magnet]

Oh i was only checking already made projects, ill make a new one and see if its working now

[cloud ether]

If you had this issue with old stuff, it should also be fixed

[crude magnet]

Yeah its not super bright anymore

but some textures are missing

[torpid horizon]

there is a way to fix it that was posted by Rabid Squirrel

[torpid horizon]

damn guys
My project aint opening after it crashed
How to fix it? I know there was a way to do it by deleting smth

[unreal crypt]

Hello everyone, does not know why the map may not start after the build?

Before the build, the map ran well.

[alpine lynx]

What happens when you click play? Crash?

[unreal crypt]

Game starts, logo, loading (Longer than usual) and then the download just hangs and the game crashes.

[alpine lynx]

Ig you could try remove work folder (in project folder root) and give it another go. Make backup of that folder first okay

[unreal crypt]

No, I know how to solve the problem, remove envprobe and generate it again. The question is, why is this happening?

[alpine lynx]

ah ok lmfao

[cloud ether]

Is this something new, like this isue started today overall?

[unreal crypt]

No, it's been a long time. Therefore, I build without a build.

[cloud ether]

Ah, just making sure it's not today's update that may have done something

[unreal crypt]

Oh no, it's been a problem for a long time.

Has the editor been updated? Wow. Did the animations get fixed?

[cloud ether]

Today there was a change to fix issue with too bright screen on starting the project

[unreal crypt]

Yes, there was a couple of times such a problem. Do you happen to know when more video tutorials will be released on your Youtube channel?

[cloud ether]

Unfortunately, I dont know the answer

[verbal saddle]

What you would be interested in?

Is there a topic you need help with?

[unreal crypt]

Yes, for example, how to create first-person cutscenes with animations on the map?

[verbal saddle]

Not sure if thats possible with current dev tools

Have you see anything like that on other custom maps?

[unreal crypt]

Yes. Animations from the game were used.

[random badger]

Yup, can't replicate the "white out" anymore, as a side note, my terrain build issue has also gone away with the update. My compliments to the Devs 😄

[cloud ether]

passed it over, glad we got this thig resolved

[unreal crypt]

How to make the object work? Thank you)))

[past canopy]

Work how?

[unreal crypt]

She doesn't work for me.

[past canopy]

Is it a mesh only or prefab?

[past canopy]

.

[unreal crypt]

prefab.

[past canopy]

you cant use it?

or like it wont appear ingame?

I need more details on what you are trying to do

[unreal crypt]

I want the player to be able to go down in it, in a pipe, but it doesn't work for me in the game, it's just transparent.

[past canopy]

Place it into "level"

in there

Everything in "sandbox" will not be displayed

oh transparent

so no collision

Is the mesh "no collision"?

if so thats´the problem

[unreal crypt]

Yes, I know, I'm not so new that I don't know such things))) Of course, this is already on the level, but the player cannot use it)

[past canopy]

Go into "meshes

and use this slide instead

meshes -> with collision
presets -> no collision

[unreal crypt]

Okay, I'll try it now.

[past canopy]

Oh i see the issue there

Okay i tried all slides available in the game right now

It appears that the slide has no custom move yet for the developer tools @cloud ether

[cloud ether]

I am thinking of making some kind of form, where you can report issues like this

ngl, would make it eaiser for me to pass them further to the team to investigate the issue

[unreal crypt]

That would be very cool))) There are enough problems))

[unreal crypt]

And here's the thing, I was also looking, but I probably thought it should work by itself, I've already broken my head)))

[cloud ether]

Let me get back to it on monday, I will see what I can figure out to streamline it

[past canopy]

Glad we could clarify the issue

[alpine lynx]

Slide custommove works

[unreal crypt]

Thank you very much.

[verbal saddle]

Meshes like this dont have any logic to them. You need to use custommoveobject with correct mesh and animation in order for them to work.

[unreal crypt]

Thank you, we've already figured it out)

[verbal saddle]

Thought I would jump in and add a bit of explanation how they work 😄

[terse spoke]

a little offtopic, can someone send invite to dying light modding discord?

[alpine lynx]

dm'd

[terse spoke]

thanks, somehow i left 😄

[alpine lynx]

oh boy

[gaunt leaf]

If someone can give me the new dying light modding discord too please, just heard the news pretty sad to lost all the little tips etc

[dusk dagger]

rip like 2 years of important history

Thanks a lot!

[calm palm]

hello, at the moment I have a problem with my developer tools dying light 2 map. In fact everything was working fine but now, when I launch the map it crashes (not the editor but the game). can someone help me?

[raw sail]

Does anybody have any info on the previously mentioned survival mode. After it was mentioned everybody including the devs stopped talking about it. ANY info would be nice

[trim stone]

Can someone help, I opened the editor and I am not able to select any mesh/objects in the world. When I try to select something, I am selecting some white boxes which are placed around the map. The gizmo is at the center of the map. So it seems like i am selecting some overlay ?

[past canopy]

go to scene then open "level"

[trim stone]

I selected Windows > Scene > Level

I still see these white boxes and i am not able to select any other objects.

[trim stone]

never mind managed to figure out get objects selected in the 2nd tutorial video. Thanks !

[unreal crypt]

I'm glad that I'm not the only one with such a bug, this happens after the build, in order to fix the problem, two things are needed. This is the initial history, it reduces the crash after the build, but if the problem with the history has not disappeared, it helps to remove the MapStart point, save the project, exit, enter, put on a new spawn. The problem will be solved. Sorry for my English) Not my native language.

[calm palm]

what is your native language ?

becose i am not english too

[unreal crypt]

Russian.

[calm palm]

oh ok

[unreal crypt]

But do you understand how to solve the problem?

[calm palm]

yes, i think

[unreal crypt]

The main decision is to delete the player's spawn on the map, save the project, exit, zest, add a new spawn.

[calm palm]

ok i will try this

[ember bison]

working on something..

[unreal crypt]

Hey bro, do you take screenshots from the game? Sorry, maybe I'm wrong. But what will be on your map that is not in the game? I think everyone ran in the city of Villedor)))

[ember bison]

What

[ember bison]

I don’t get what you’re asking

[unreal crypt]

I can say I didn’t ask, but commented on your screenshots. You threw them off, but they look like screenshots from the game itself. So I ask you, what will you have on the map so that it does not look like Villedor?

Sorry for my english, not my native language.

[ember bison]

Oh I see

Uhh. Started everything from scratch. But my map is just gonna be odd. Like structures that don’t make sense, spooky atmosphere, weird structures. A small map as well

Maybe some e3 related places

Idk

Like so

Just a bunch of random creativity

Aa, it's clear, just so far it looks like screenshots from the game)))

It doesn't sound bad in words))

[ember bison]

I’ll take that as a compliment

[elder ravine]

Man I can't wait to play cosm maps on PS4

[wheat horizon]

Hello guys, any tips to find parkour elements?
For some reason I can't send screenshots, but I'm talking about all sorts of items that were used in game and usually colored to yellow

[verbal saddle]

try "plank interaction"

for the planks

for tarps and other stuff try "marking" in prefab browser

sadly no atlas for those elements included in dev tools

[wheat horizon]

Cool, thanks 🙏

Also I found poles that stick out of the wall - called "monkey_bar", but instead of swinging my character climb on it

[verbal saddle]

yes you have to use monkeybar object that has this mesh as the mesh attribute

[elder ravine]

Try to make Elysuim

A map that was removed in dl2

[ember bison]

eh

a lot of work

[leaden thistle]

hi , i have a couple of questions about the mod support on consoles, i know that the developer tools are only made for pc due to the high requirements, but in faq section say that "you will be able to play all of the custom maps on your console when the console version of the tools launches" ...

1: Console players will only be avilable to download ONLY maps, or they could also download something different like overhauls, lighting system, etc?

2: There´s like a relase date estimated for this or it´s still unkown this info?

[elder ravine]

Hi there, so I installed 3 mods to improve the gameplay a bit, but it has me locked out of the legend skill tree

Like I can see it and claim the rewards but can’t actually use the legend skill points

I thought Techland patched it so it gives us the ability to unlock with mods

[past canopy]

1. Only maps
2. unknown Info

[tardy rapids]

How do I set time on my map

[past canopy]

Do this

you can change the time anytime

[tardy rapids]

Thank you

[leaden thistle]

okey, thank you!!

[leaden thistle]

and if the modders community creates like, base building, more animations, or lighting sistem improved, console users wouldn´t be able to use those things or yes?

[past canopy]

yesnt

Custom maps are loading content inside the project folder

It might work if someone is able to get DL2 to load files from the custom folder as normal

[leaden thistle]

okey, and one last thing, in the case that "oh, i like the illumination, colors filters or something like that for the main map", but don´t want to play the map where its placed this lighting sistem, there will be an option to download only this and apply it to the main map, or we only will be restricted to the map to use this?

[past canopy]

nope

only custom maps

and within custom maps

There will be no coregame modding content

[leaden thistle]

ok, thank you very much for answering my questions!

[nocturne mountain]

found some nomad person

[nocturne mountain]

They patched it?

[elder ravine]

sorry, i forgot to remove the comment, but it turned out one of the mods i installed was conflicting with the updated version of dying light 2

so i just removed that one and it worked

[nocturne mountain]

Ohh okay

That happened to me but I thought it was intentional to cheat the skill trees

[unreal crypt]

A video with questions about dev Tools, by chance no one plans to record?
Or save the stream, of course, I personally have questions, but I'm sure the majority will ask them without me.
I just can't look at them at the right time.
I would not like to lose this opportunity.

Or maybe the developers will lay out the stream? So that you can look at the questions later.

[cloud ether]

You mean the qna?

It will be in text form you can go back to the channel with answers at any time

I wouldn't keep our devtools team live on stream for 7 hours i dont want them to hate me

[rain hull]

we can ask about topics like the tools' future plans in the q&a right?
or only questions about how to use

[cloud ether]

you can, but I can't guarantee every question will be answered 😉

[rain hull]

I see
thanks

hello i have a question

when i subscribe to maps they doesn't appear on "my maps"

any help ?

[past canopy]

@simple patrol Did you logged into your acc ?

should i authenticate through email ?

[past canopy]

Yea

You must be logged in in order to see your subscribed maps

[simple patrol]

okay

what's the authenticator code , where can i find it

[soft loom]

When will we see mods on consoles?

Is there a way to use devtools for Dying Light 1 if you bought the game on Epic Games?

If not, I'm willing to buy the Definitive Edition on Steam during the next sale 👍

[alpine lynx]

FYI if you are unable to locate/open your project after today's update:

1. Go to projects folder
2. Create folder named local and drag your project there

Also, it doesn't hurt to make backup of your project

Idk when they release it

[plucky nexus]

Can someone help with any potential fix

Ever since there was a need to have your projects in a local folder, I have encountered this issue for the second time

My Dev tools project won't open up at all after saving and exiting

It's never happened before

[alpine lynx]

Answered in that thread you made

[cloud ether]

Hey guys!
Thank you for joining our QnA with DevTools! Our team is working on improving it constantly, so I want to pass important update for you

Please make sure to take those steps to ensure your map don't encounter issues!

• Go to Tools -> Options, and head to Project Options.
• Set startup map and story - some projects may contain several maps and stories, so they have to be manually selected
• once you do the changes, make sure to submit it to mod.io

This is caused by adding option to choose maps and stories, that will remove some of issues when there is too many

[versed dust]

Quick tutorial from me 😄

[reef peak]

Five really simple questions. 1. How do I get a car that isn't burnt out? All the cars in prefabs are burnt to a crisp and I want ones that still have some paint on them. 2. How do I rotate items to the direction i'm facing? Or at least rotate an item before placing. 3. Where are the floors for the insides of buildings? 4. How do i enable collision on objects? 5. How do i make parts of buildings snap to each other for easier placement?

[wheat horizon]

1. In prefab browser set to meshes just type "veh"

3. I assume you are talking about slums assets? The best way is to make zoo for all models Techland gave us
   I just typed "slums" and placed all models I found in one prefab

4. Again I assume you are talking about slums objects? There are frame model and roof model, which I guess should be also used as floor to walk on

5. DL2 models snap without problem, slums objects are just "broken"
   They were using different snap system in DL1

[worthy shuttle]

Looking for a Ping? Detected Ghostping of @reef peak by @wheat horizon

[willow barn]

how can i decide what the player spawns with and what skills they have?

[wheat horizon]

Aciek did playlist of tutorials, somewhere there is answer for your question
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/16yTlkW7l0wABXm0bNR8TUzEySAg_XryI

[alpine lynx]

4. Objects should have collision by default. If not, make one with dummy_box

5. Use grid snapping if theres no hooks. Iirc 3.64m(?) is width of standard wall, so add that in presets

[random badger]

3.84 vertical if I recall correctly

[wheat horizon]

This is snap settings Techland is using
Grid size stays the same, only Grid steps change, and you can go between them with Alt+S

[alpine lynx]

Oh yea true .96 width

[random badger]

Co-incidentally (not really) 3.84 is 0.96 x 4 🤣 🤣

[alpine lynx]

Whole numbers would make things too easy

theres better to be some interesting super technical explanation why they are not rounded to 1

[random badger]

Well it follows a pixel structure somewhat (4k horizontal is 3840 pixels), so that might have something to do with it... but I'm basing this guess on absolutely nothing.

[reef peak]

Ah probably shoulda clarified. Moreso meant for DL2 interiors. A lot of the floors i find by typing in…well..”floor” are grayboxes or just don’t seem to have a model in the world (unless they’re clipping under the terrain which is likely)

[wheat horizon]

The best method is just putting town prefabs into your map (keep in Sandbox - editor only) and fly around and see how Techland made all this stuff
There are 3 prefabs called town_classic; town_modern; town_roads

[reef peak]

Gotcha, i’ll hop to that then

[random badger]

Look for the keyword "int" when you search for interior assets, I've also found that 1x1 floors tend to be textured all round. You can scale them up too (they use texture masks).

[reef peak]

I feel dumb as hell. Of course the shit is in grayboxes, i have to use the attribute window to put a skin on it

[dense breach]

Hi guys Im new to the tool. How do I create a branch dialogue? I used the choice node but it only shows the very first one

[fading coral]

question: how do I find the assets from the first game? what is the naming convention for the assets?

[fading coral]

So far all the assets I see are from DL2.

The original Dying Light and the city of Harran have become iconic to horror enthusiasts far and wide. To commemorate the classic, we are bringing assets from the first game to Dying Light 2 Stay Human Developer Tools.```

Am I overlooking something obvious in the asset browser or are the DL1 assets not added yet?

I found some assets with DLC in the name, however they all appear invisible when placed and the preview picture is just the name.

oh it appears that dl_ is the prefix for DL1 stuff.

[sweet sparrow]

Trying to check out some maps. Any idea why it always says queued?

[fading coral]

I am not sure, it could be perhaps the server placing the player in a queue because of many downloading at the same time?

[wheat horizon]

I think after last update they broke something with community maps, because I had few installed, but it was downloading and installing them every time I opened tools

[fading coral]

Is there anything that can be done to fix some assets appearing invisible?

[wheat horizon]

What assets?

[fading coral]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1051799579898679348/1116517359922978816/2023-06-09_02_00_59-Maps__map01.map.png

some assets appear like this

I am not sure if these are borked assets or something defective on my install, however I reinstalled the game recently.

[wheat horizon]

This is how community version works
There is tons of broken models like this

[alpine lynx]

Bloody ties (DLC1) assets are not available in tools, but iirc Rafal said in Q&A they will be

but yea those blank meshes are cluttering mesh browser big time. You can filter them out from Path -> rpacks

[fading coral]

thanks, I also get this on some DL_ assets which appear to be from DL1, not dlc. Are these just missing meshes?

[sweet sparrow]

how to set the time in game?

I know how to set the time in the viewport but when I play it it's not the same.

any idea?

[sweet sparrow]

Thank you

Is it possbile to merge a map from another project into a project?

[alpine lynx]

Can you elaborate

[sweet sparrow]

Yes of course. Say we have a project A with map map_A and project B with map_B. Is it possible to migrate map_B into project A so that project A have map_A and map_B?

[alpine lynx]

Ah whole map. Its not really supported, but you could try create new empty map in project A and then replace it with project Bs files.
If you have created prefabs in project B you gotta move those to A

There should be folder called ’maps’ in project files where you find all that stuff. Prefabs are in prefabs folder

[sweet sparrow]

Thank you very much!

[sweet sparrow]

Can tr_generated_root be safely deleted?

what does it do in the scene?

[alpine lynx]

Terrain

[sweet sparrow]

Is there an invisible wall asset?

[west quest]

Is this server gonna make a role system to help figure out what ppl play and what they are on like if they are PC or console

[alpine lynx]

Search ’barrier’. Or use dummy_box.msh w/ Null skin

[sweet sparrow]

Thanks!

peter welcome to fortnite

[dusk dagger]

sick

[arctic stratus]

hey guys, do you know if I can extract Aiden's 3d model from the game? If yes, then how?

[fading coral]

I want to create a collect teddy objective, however it says the object does not exist.

I have set a reference to the teddy in the finditem attributes however it shows something weird:

Attempting to edit the [0] entry crashes the editor. I was only able to edit it by deleting the entire takeitem node

The teddy is a quest_object which I named teddy01, and it shows up as an item in the list when pressing to select a reference.

I have also saved everything and rebooted the editor, and the issue is still there.

[alpine lynx]

After naming quest_object you gotta save hierarchy and then add it to TakeItem node. It looks like name isnt registered correctly
Also you can try put teddy directly in root of Level

Or enable alwaysspawned and move to dynamic root from attributes

• force xform hierarchy in-game, because why not

[alpine lynx]

Not possible with devtools but theres 3rd party tools for that, rpack extractor + xnalara. All resources should be listed in modding server

[arctic stratus]

That’s cool, thanks for the info. Could you please tell me where or what exactly is this modding server? Thanks

[alpine lynx]

Sec I will DM you the invite

[fading coral]

Thanks! It fixed it. However I had to make a completely new quest after doing the save hierarchy, then it would correclty point to the item.

[hushed flint]

that begin too look good

[dense breach]

is there an audio library that we can use?

i mean in the editor

[past canopy]

There is no audio available yet except using logic rooms with sounds

[wheat horizon]

bottom seems finished, upper floor in construction, I don't think this is how buidings are made
also shape is really custom, buildings are usually square, sometimes with corners cut in 45 degrees (Paris is good example), more belivable would be square building but rotated a bit, example town.map did it good
but if gameplay will be more interesting because of that, I would say go for it
also if you are going for good look, don't forget to use decals, dirt and leaks give live to buildings

[hushed flint]

I will give vegetation at the end like now im just doing the building after the street and at the end finition like vehicles sign and some vegetation, that tilted tower from fortnite if you don’t know

[hushed flint]

I’m gonna give gameplay just wait I’m arriving at home

[wheat horizon]

afterall looks solid, I gladly would jump in there and explore

[hushed flint]

why not 🙂

[elder ravine]

hi

i got a problem when i join and add stuff to the map later when i press play nothing changes

so i start by making this

just for testing

but when i press Play

nothing change

[hushed flint]

Did you put your things in sandbox

@elder ravine

[elder ravine]

i deleted dev tools🥰🥰

[hushed flint]

Bro

You have just one thing to do

[elder ravine]

is fine man maybe next time

when they add workshop in-game

current mod.io is trash

[hushed flint]

Workshop?

[elder ravine]

like gmod

[wheat horizon]

They will not do that

[dense breach]

where is the tutorial for export the mod into a .exe?

how to package the project?

[alpine lynx]

Click this. Create/Edit mod profile

projects are not packed into exe. They work kinda like mods

[dense breach]

ahh I see. Anyways I can set it to private?

[alpine lynx]

Yes. Maps need to be verified by moderators before they go public

before that you can set it private from mod.io page

[dense breach]

Awesome, thanks!

[fading coral]

is there a way to add more inputs to the ALL node? I have 10 objectives I want to input and the current thing appears to be not how it is supposed to be.

[alpine lynx]

Right click anywhere left side of node -> add pin

[hushed flint]

here some

[fading coral]

thanks

[thorny hedge]

Heya.

Was wondering if the tools support branching dialogue that lead the quest down different routes?

Is that stuff covered in those GDrive tutorials?

Also a quick Q.

Sometimes my floor is invisble when loading the town map. Is there a way to bring it back?

Had this issue like yesterday then it seemed to fix itself.
Made a new project and loaded the map, now I have the same issue again.

EDIT - Ignore this one, all solved.
I needed to build to fix the blue floor/invisible floor.

[thorny hedge]

And one final quick Q.

Suffered my first crash editing the existing quest item node pickups in the Story window.

How stable is the DL2 dev tools atm?
Does it crash randomly or does certain things always crash it?

Also are there any debug tools when testing in the editor?
-Invincible, flying, etc?

[alpine lynx]

There is still few things that will 100% crash the editor (spawning certain assets like actor prefab or debugging movables without saving hierarchy) but besides that I’d say its is currently very stable

Ive had 3 crashes in this patch and those happened mostly due my own inpatience, not randomly

[alpine lynx]

Im pretty sure this was covered in Acieks tutorials

[thorny hedge]

Thanks Bub.

Do you know if Acieks tutorials cover warping to a new map during a NPC conversation? Also warping to new map via doorway?

Oh and I guess warping via sleeping in a safe zone bed? (Like Aiden does during his dream segments in the main game)

[thorny hedge]

Oh and just want to confirm with that actor prefab crash, does that mean we can’t currently place spawns for enemies or NPCs?

Or is it more of a, need to do it in a specific way to avoid crash?

[fading coral]

The story editor appears to crash often, the map editor almost never (for me). Most crashes for me happen when picking objects related to nodes.

[thorny hedge]

Yeah I saw that with a node. As long as we can work around it via saves, should be fine in theory?

[fading coral]

You can spawn zombies with the ai number spawner thing, it works.

[fading coral]

the game appears to autosave on crash. when you set your level to target, it askes whether to restore. However I also make backups every 3 days of the files to a different harddrive.

[thorny hedge]

Oh? Chance of corruption?

[alpine lynx]

No those prefabs that crash editor are basically never used. Its just annoying when you accidentally place one down and insta crash lol

[fading coral]

Is it possible to set a random daytime? I was looking for a randomized number generator to connect to the hour variable, however I could not find any.

[alpine lynx]

I dont think so. Theres node for map change or you can use localportal/mapportal prefabs

[thorny hedge]

Hey another quick question. Is it possible to load up the base game quests and maps for Dying Light 2 in the editor to study them?

[past canopy]

Add X different weather nodes and attach randomizer node

[wheat horizon]

seems clunky

[thorny hedge]

Heya got a Q.

Is there a way to make a message box appear?

Kinda like how the parkour message box appears when interacting with a challenge board.

I want to use it for a stand in to say "This cutscene will be added later".

[fading coral]

thanks!

Question for the upload process:

[past canopy]

login first

then upload

[fading coral]

I first clicked the left button, filled out the profile, then clicked the right button which showed upload bar and said it successfuly completed.

I am now in the edit screen on mod.io, and it still asks for a file to upload:

[fading coral]

I was logged in already.

So is there a manual upload required in this screen, even if the files were supposedly uploaded via the editor?

( I know how the mod.io interface works from snowrunner maps, however the editor uploading it before is confusing to me)

Or does a techland developer have to manually approve a file like in the "shape your city" contest?

[past canopy]

you upload the map with editor

and some guy on mod.io for dl2 has to approve it

[fading coral]

ok then I think I will wait and not use the add file dialog in mod.io

[thorny hedge]

Hey guys.

One of my maps has no floor. I pressed the build button but the terrain just is not there when I test.

Any idea how to make it appear?

[wheat horizon]

you have to lock terrain and rebuild

[thorny hedge]

Thanks Zombi.

[wheat horizon]

np

[thorny hedge]

Heya, additional to this.

Are cutscenes easy to set up? Do the GDrive guides cover them at all?

[thorny hedge]

Sorry for so many questions, got another.

Been using a dummy cube to stretch to shape for imitating BSP walls to grey box. I can't seem to get that and the dummy plan to snap to the same points on the grid.

Anyone got any tips for making things snap perfectly?

I'm getting a lot of gaps and the odd floating thing.

[thorny hedge]

Also a quick one.

Been following: "DL2 DT TUT - Interactive Dialog with Choice", and I am stuck on a repeating crash for 9:50.

Essentially I'm trying to hook up the dialogue prefab to the Story Dialogue node.
-I can hook it up, but then it turns into a red "~2". If I click it again I will crash 100%.

Any idea how to hook this up write to stop the crash?

Did I miss a step? This guide did not show how to set up the story part so I kinda guessed it, maybe I messed up there?

[wheat horizon]

I don't think you can scale dummy boxes perfectly to avoid any gaps in geometry
My work around was putting few wall models and trying to match it as close as possible
Also it's just blockout, with this method you want test general idea, you don't want blockout to be detailed and take a lot of time

[fading coral]

Not sure if this works with dummy cubes, however I would do it like this:

1. Set the coordinates thing to local
2. Then use the scale by extent so you can scale individual sides.
3. Turn on grid snapping so the scaling snaps to a grid.

ok just tested it. It works. Notice the highlighted things on the toolbar, these are what you need to use to scale to the grid.

[thorny hedge]

Oh that’s what I’ve been doing.

I was having issues with gaps between the dummy cubes I was stretching out.

But Zombi is right, blockout/grey box does not need to be perfect.

Will say I’m totally stumped at the mo because of that crash on setting up dialogue.

The guide I was looking at did not really show how to set up the first part of story and skipped a step. It focused on within the quest node and not the top level.

For whatever reason it keeps crashing when I select the dialogue prefab I placed in the level, saying my dialogue entity does not exist.
-when hooking it up with the dialogue node that is.

[wheat horizon]

is it possible to change model color? for example this cloth to blue color when it doesn't have any extra mesh skins

[dusk dagger]

Texture modding

[wheat horizon]

what do you mean? something like replacing already existing textures?

[dusk dagger]

Yes

[wheat horizon]

okay, I don't want do something like that
thanks for info

[dusk dagger]

Then u can't change the color

[alpine lynx]

You can change colour sometimes. Check attributes -> UserData -> Gradient map row selection

Doesnt work with all meshes

[wheat horizon]

I experimented with a bunch of models and it is not working
Are there any meshes it works with?

[alpine lynx]

Pipes, gas cylinders, barrels, paint buckets

container walls

[wheat horizon]

okay I see, thanks
sadly it doesn't work with many models:/

[wheat horizon]

Can I somehow setup model slums_frame, so that the player can't climb it?

[paper adder]

Sorry for the dumb question, but where can I find the roads in the dev tools? Like not the prefabs, but the individual sections, if they have it

I'm new to all of this

[dusk dagger]

Search for crossroad and road profile

and in meshes section

[paper adder]

Found them! Some show textures and others are entirely gray, what does that mean? Sorry for all the questions!

[dusk dagger]

change mesh skin in attributes

some don't have one tho

[paper adder]

Oh okay! Thank you for the help!!

[brittle aurora]

@versed dust Hello Rafał, I wanted to report an issue. When working on a map I got blue screen (I think on starting playtest, often my editor closes when game launches), some memory leak. When I reopen the project my entire level in hierarchy is gone. I cant bring it back. Also when I try opening story tab the editor instantly shuts down.

[past canopy]

You must click on "upload mod data" in order to upload your map on mod.io

[harsh heron]

We getting these on console??

[fading coral]

I did that before doing anythin on the mod.io screen.

1. First I created a new mod (the left button)
2. Then uploaded
3. Then filled out the information on mod.io.

I assume now I wait for a dev to approve of the files? Was it like that in the first contest?

[random badger]

Yes, this is how it worked for the first contest.

They have to approve every level that is uploaded.

[past canopy]

don't create a new mod

right button

[left ingot]

I can't use the "Scale by extents" button, does anyone know why?

like itss uhh greyed out kinda

[alpine lynx]

Youre probably trying to scale prefab by extents, which is not possible

[left ingot]

OHHH I CANT SCALE PREFABS BY EXTENT?

[frail scarab]

@alpine lynx how can I make a wall unclimbable and ungrapabble?

[alpine lynx]

Collision_barrier or collision_box prefabs

[frail scarab]

oh, so I can just stick it on the outside of lets say, a tower, and the player would not be able to grapple or climb it?

[alpine lynx]

Yup pretty much

But test it first. Im not 100% sure it blocks hook

[frail scarab]

gonan test it out rn, if not, i'll get rid of the player tools

it works

[thorny hedge]

Has anyone got dialogue to work fully? I’m still having issues.

[paper adder]

Quick question again, why do some walls not cast shadows, or some parts do, but others don't?

[alpine lynx]

Most walls cast shadows only from one side (texture side). Two sided walls cast both ways

[paper adder]

Ohhhhh okay I see now! Thank you! (:

[harsh heron]

We getting these on console??

[cloud ether]

Devtools themselves? No, unfrotunately it is physically not possible to add this tool on consoles. But maps on the other hand... We have said in past this is one of our goals eventually

[wheat horizon]

If you would simplify editor a lot it would be possible. Far Cry 3 did it long ago

[cloud ether]

It's different engine completly

[plucky nexus]

Any chance that we might get old meshes that were used for the 2018 and 2019 demos

I regularly come across so many meshes that are either dummy boxes or don't appear

[elder ravine]

[past canopy]

awesome

[plucky nexus]

I got the whole terrain done

Now only building placement and polishing

[past canopy]

every single building?

[plucky nexus]

No, I'll start with unique locations first

Then eventually change other things

[past canopy]

kk

i wonder how many people are making slums

[plucky nexus]

Sadly seems to be a few

Anyways good luck for your map as well, you're making prison?

[past canopy]

Thanks, yea

trying to nail it

i guess nearly no one except me and bub are doing prison heist stuff

You can do it Teo

[plucky nexus]

Ty

[wheat horizon]

I do

[burnt veldt]

@past canopy

I have a question

[past canopy]

?

Please state the question instead asking for a question

[random badger]

It's highly inefficient... two questions instead of just the one 🤣

[rain hull]

the "can I ask you a question" type of questions should be cancelled

[rain hull]

I'm doing both slums and prison, feeling running out of time

[brittle aurora]

Im doing it too

pretty fun to make, it is a different map making experiencce when I switch fronm open outside maps to linear interior based ;D

[past canopy]

Custom prison or actual remake attempt?

If so, how is your progress?

[brittle aurora]

I would say mix of both

honestly I have a lot to do, idk If I will make it in time

I will have time to polish, and probably add additional content but its gonna be tight

I started late and also last month in univ, exams etc.. but im trying what I can ;3

and how about you? @past canopy

[past canopy]

Absolutely trying to nail the map by attempting for a 1:1

[brittle aurora]

Oooo

[past canopy]

I'm a sick bastard, so..

[brittle aurora]

each approach has its own challenges, but this one is probably the hardest xD

at least you know when to stop the project 😆

[past canopy]

Bro

i took the challenge too serious

"recreate"

[brittle aurora]

and you wanted to make your own at begining?

[past canopy]

No

Remake since the begin

It still takes forever

[brittle aurora]

no wonder.. its quite large and you dont have exact 1:1 assets

[elder ravine]

i have a question

[past canopy]

?

[elder ravine]

nothing

@past canopy

I didn't see your reply

My question is

What are game codes?

I want to get a docket in dying light 1

I did everything right but I don't know what game codes are

And I don't know where to find them

Can you help me?

[ruby quartz]

Thanks

Game code?

I can't make an account

It says "enter game code"

What do I do

[pale jolt]

enter the code in the guide

[wheat horizon]

how to make zipline?

[alpine lynx]

zipline.prefab
Change mesh from attributes to string_200_a.msh and select steel_mechanical_wear skin

Pivot point is start of zipline. But it doesnt matter if youre using two-way zips

[wheat horizon]

Perfect! Thank you

[thorny hedge]

Does anyone know how to make the player teleport to a new map?

By dialogue, area trigger, objective completion or door?

[alpine lynx]

Mapportal.prefab
I think theres story node for it too but cant remember the name rn

[wheat horizon]

can I turn off 1 skill specifically (Wallrun) and Paraglider - to give this to the player later in the game?
or am I locked only to already existing PlayerPresets ?

[frail scarab]

@alpine lynx how can I make elevator doors that you have to pry open via interaction?

[alpine lynx]

syncanims are broken

but its switch.prefab

[frail scarab]

bruh

[frail scarab]

yeah, I see what you mean

[thorny hedge]

Anyone know how to make on screen messages pop up?

Saw a few map mods that made a message appear on screen.

[paper adder]

I'm attempting the slums area, but a new look. So basically, similar road layouts and terrain but different building styles. I'm just focusing on the map's appearance for the competition since I'm still figuring out the dev tools.

[alpine lynx]

There is way but it requires some script editing. I make tutorial if I got time

I got some in my map Heavy Rail, if you want reverse engineer it. Theres one popup right when map starts and its called with story node

[wheat horizon]

How ai_spawner_number works? I mean, Aciek told there is a limit for zombies, 64 if I'm correct. So what if I will have 10 ai_spawners and each spawner will spawn 10 zombies. Are they gonna dissapear if player will go far enough and respawn if he will go close again?

I want to make streets full of infected, but I don't need zombies on street where player can't see them

[frail scarab]

yo Bub, is the smooth brush in terrain broken?

[alpine lynx]

Nope

[frail scarab]

for me it just makes the terrain back to its original height

Try making a ramp and then use the smooth brush

[alpine lynx]

Well yea its basically what it does. You can adjust its power

[frail scarab]

this is the power it's at

should I show it to you in a vc?

[alpine lynx]

Yea sure sec

[frail scarab]

let me know where to join

[alpine lynx]

Here in one of those

cant hear you but ok

probably my end

[frail scarab]

aight

idk why my stream keeps stopping when I do display

[alpine lynx]

Ok your terrain is fucked lol

[frail scarab]

[alpine lynx]

idk why its not smoothing it properly

[frail scarab]

of course the dev tools are broken again for some reason

[alpine lynx]

I once had two terrains on top of each other

[rain hull]

was your terrain setting changed?

[alpine lynx]

Check you have only one terrain prefab. Cant remember its name rn

some tr_

[frail scarab]

tr_generated_root?

I have only one

[alpine lynx]

yup

[rain hull]

block size and block detail level

[frail scarab]

I did change block size

[alpine lynx]

My settings

Sync changes is not ticked. Idk what its purpose

[frail scarab]

changed it to 8m

[frail scarab]

makes the brush settings carry over to other brushes that have it on

[rain hull]

might be the problem, if your block size and block detail level aren't at the same number

[frail scarab]

I love colty, that fixed it

[alpine lynx]

Oh yea probably that then. I havent fucked around with block size

aight good

[past canopy]

farlands

[frail scarab]

how can I change the lod of an object?

also, is there an atlas with all the road meshes?

[alpine lynx]

Cant do that. No clue about atlas

[wheat horizon]

I didn't find atlas for roads, but making custom zoo for models is like 10-15 minutes

[frail scarab]

Yeah, currently doing that for all road meshes, for now I know of cross roads and road profiles, you know any others?

[wheat horizon]

I will take a look at my zoo after I eat

[frail scarab]

thanks

[wheat horizon]

except this 2 categories there are overpass, road_cross, tunnel_road and wl_road

[frail scarab]

there is also t5_road

[wheat horizon]

can you show picture? I already turned off tools

[frail scarab]

Is there a mesh that has this kind of texture that is not a road mesh?

[random badger]

Search for sidewalk, for the damaged version of those. Then the balcony 1x1 block has a similar texture if I recall correctly.

Alternatively backyard 1x1 might have what you're looking for.

[frail scarab]

I checked backyard 1x1, and it didn't ahve it

[frail scarab]

how does one add water?

[random badger]

waterbox.prefab

[finite spruce]

Check “backyard floor 1x”

[elder ravine]

anyone have the 010 editor repack script

i have the unpack and inject but i cant find the modding server to get the repack

[hearty swallow]

search walkway in meshes

[frail scarab]

@alpine lynx @past canopy

ready for stuff to break?

[past canopy]

Wtf?

rwDIE.exe

[alpine lynx]

my body is ready

[spark egret]

im so sorry for u guys loss today

[frail scarab]

dev tools are running at 1 fps, lets goo

@alpine lynx @past canopy THEY FIXED THE FUCKING SWITCHES, THEY WORK PROPERLY NOW

[alpine lynx]

lessgo

i wish switch3 real

[frail scarab]

object now once again highlight when I hover over them

[alpine lynx]

Im testing my map in game and switches are still broken?

[frail scarab]

did you update your game?

[rain hull]

are containers fixed?

[alpine lynx]

Yes lol

[frail scarab]

let me check

[frail scarab]

works fine for me

you want me to test anything else?

[frail scarab]

try saving and reloading them

[rain hull]

very nice

[frail scarab]

what are the frontier dlc files named in the dev tools?

[rain hull]

can you test if billboard sliding works?
I'm not sure if sliding works with just the billboard mesh
or mesh alone won't work it will need some logic prefab

[frail scarab]

how does one do the billboard sliding in the first place?

[rain hull]

I have no idea yet either lol

[frail scarab]

found out how, let me check

[frail scarab]

nope, seems like you need extra logic

[rain hull]

got it, thanks

[sage zealot]

wait

WHO DELETED MY SUPPORT MESSAGE

[harsh heron]

My stash keeps crashing me game 😑

Anyone else?

Wrong channel bub

Check #1039562481338699906

[golden moth]

Is there a way to load villedor in the dev-tools so it can be modded, or are only custom maps allowed?

[versed dust]

You cannot load and modify Villedor in DevTools

[alpine lynx]

[golden moth]

Can I load custom landscape heightmaps into the devtools then? @versed dust

Am I imagining that, in DL1, I was able to load the harran map into the dev-tool oram Iremembering it correctly?

[spark egret]

@past canopy they broke ur map LOL

[past canopy]

Every custom map has been corrupted with the latest update

imaginable

You remember my third person cutscenes at the beginning?

[spark egret]

🤣 its ur old map run boy run and they broke it on stream

[past canopy]

Can screw them entirely cause they used old animations

[spark egret]

WOW

[past canopy]

🥲

2 days of work gone

by a simple update,, i know..

[frail scarab]

oh boy, what broke?

[past canopy]

challenges dont work as intended cause the game is loading everything core game related

[frail scarab]

oh fuck

[past canopy]

thats why he can only play the map for 1:50 min

[frail scarab]

yeah, they cannot load the outside scripts we made

[past canopy]

cause the actuall "grakour" map is made with this length

yea

[frail scarab]

this is so dumb

[near temple]

[frail scarab]

I knew the update was too good to be true

[weary birch]

RIP cock and crex map

[past canopy]

yep

[frail scarab]

my first map cannot be played at all

you cannot start it

[frail scarab]

What are the plans with the external files we had to use in order to get our maps properly working? Will you give us the option to modify the values properly inside of devtools so we can get them working again?

[alpine lynx]

^

custom scr ftw

[alpine lynx]

My map is fucked too. Its impossible to complete when launched from main game because scripts refuse to work

[frail scarab]

my map cannot even be started, because you need to start the quest from an npc lmao

[alpine lynx]

https://tenor.com/view/press-f-mg-salute-gif-15543929

[alpine lynx]

Some new DL1 hangar window, apartment building, school etc. meshes added in the last update

gotta take better look tomorrow whats new

[spark egret]

im glad i played ur map and crex from the editor at least

[wheat horizon]

How to turn off this yellow thing? I didn't have this before update

[alpine lynx]

It was broken in the last update. Now it works again and you can disable it from options

[wheat horizon]

Thanks
It's kinda cool, I wanted to know just in case

[frail scarab]

what's this called?

[alpine lynx]

dl_s_highrise_xxxx

Theres also
dl_s_wall_school_door
dl_s_handrail_slums
dl_s_hangar_b_roof_b_glass_a / b / c

[frail scarab]

it doesn't show up in meshes

[alpine lynx]

You probably need new version mesh.pre. I posted it in devtool and modding servers

You can also fetch it from data0

[frail scarab]

how does one update their mesh.pre?

also, I can't find it on the modding servr

[alpine lynx]

Theres one in your project folder. Make backup/rename it and add new .pre

[alpine lynx]

Use search

from: Bub#0002 mesh.pre

[frail scarab]

time to make another backup

[frail scarab]

time to see if anything breaks if I use it

Also, IT WOULD'VE BEEN AMAZING TO HAVE THE TOWER MESH LIKE 1 MONTH AGO

Had to make my own from scratch

[alpine lynx]

Ikr everybody made their own tower already

Though that one isnt very high quality

[dusk dagger]

Just me or are custom maps completely broken

[rain hull]

and the prison interior assets didn't exist until now

[alpine lynx]

What those called?

[frail scarab]

the pain i went trough with this, especially since I had to restart a few times because dev tools corrupted a few tiems

[alpine lynx]

Sweet

[alpine lynx]

How

[dusk dagger]

Well your map for example I couldn't jump, couldn't blow up the gate, attacking hitboxes were extremely small, climbing was buggy

yoshift's map simply did not have objectives to complete

[alpine lynx]

You played it in devtools or main game?

[dusk dagger]

main game

[alpine lynx]

Ah okay. I tested yesterday and it was broken as fuck but atleast I could jump

I think

[dusk dagger]

man did the update destroy maps or sum

[frail scarab]

they still haven't fixed the dl1 road meshes in dev tools

[alpine lynx]

But yea modified scripts dont work so many maps dont work properly/at all

[dusk dagger]

and hidden town didn't have objectives

[frail scarab]

yep, my map cannot be started at all

[dusk dagger]

https://tenor.com/view/hayalet-behzatç-elma-düşme-düşüş-gif-18001062

[alpine lynx]

Im considering setting my map private for now. Player can technically play it but then it will break completely about halfway

And thats going to just piss people off

[frail scarab]

good idea

gonna do the same

[dusk dagger]

I couldn't progress past third gate

maybe I'm stupid but I threw all the canisters and couldn't do anything else

[alpine lynx]

I could, tested yesterday but the canister area seemed smaller than intended

[frail scarab]

my map is now hidden, sadly, it cannot be played at all, the quest giver that is supposed to start it, does not

[rain hull]

walls start with dl_s_int in skins starting with plaster_color

[alpine lynx]

Ah okay pro. Didnt notice those

[rain hull]

hmm...exterior stairs are not added
bummer

[frail scarab]

@alpine lynx dafuq is the yellow arrow?

[alpine lynx]

Is this your editor?

[frail scarab]

only certain meshes have it

no idea what it does tho

[alpine lynx]

For example? Mesh name
