Question, is there any way of changing the Acc. of the guns to 100%? if there is one thing that really jaratees me off in a game it's the idea that a gun has to have a Acc. percentage. I should only miss my target cause it moved at the last second or cause I wasn't aiming at the damn thing. in the vanilla version of DI i've had times where I was point blank shooting at a Thug and had over 1/2 a clip not a single shot hit it. that really made me go WTF?!? Borderlands had the same crap and it got my goat there too. Would have a dead to rights shot with a sniper rifle only to miss cause the damn gun had a 75% of hitting it's mark.

Look at the line " AccuracyFactor" in .xml file namely "default_levels" located in DI\out\Data\Skills\ or in file "Data*.pak" (*: 1,2,3 choose the newest file". Change the fault number of Accuracy Factor to any number <1,0. If you want 100% acc, put a number around 0,0*
Have a nice day

does anyone have a issue with xian permanently having the bloodsight red ring around her hud, even from a new game? i cant fnd what it needs to fix this in the scripts, and its only there after the mod is installed. she will have bloodsight at full health, no bloodsight at half health, and bloodsight again at low health. help?

Sorry for this disconvinient, I'd modified Xian's overall HP and also the critical healh and that lead to her base HP is lower than critical HP. Dont worry much, just lv up and the red layer will be gone/

oh thats awesome man thanks! wonderful mod by the way, out of that whole list, this seems to be the most fun, best balance for what you get. thanks again!

Makes the game a lot more challenging, me and the gf were starting a new game and jesus....when we do the second quest, the one where you have to go and clear the station. There is 3 thugs rather than 1

AND THEY ARE FAST!

Good challenge, good mod, however I would like more weapon durability for anything blade related, knifes dont go blunt that quick from hitting soft objects in real life.

I sharpen my kitchen knife like once every 2 month lol

the blunt weapons durability is fine tho.

Thanks a lot man. Your cheering make my work more worthy, I spent 2 months on this mod with 2 of my friends but they gave up just after 1 week and then I had to do it all the way by myself. BTW, have a good time playing with ur GF, I hope she freaked out with those RAM and also supprised by those CORRUPTER as they ramdomly trigger a combo like normal zombies

Why does it need to install to my steam directory? Won't this cause vac issues?

It needs to be installed in the game directory just like any game file so it can properly load and take effect ingame.

Oh and no, to be safe you can disable Dead Island's VAC feature in the menu anytime

This sounds like a cool mod, going to try it out. Most mods I see make the game way to hard or way to easy.

This though seems like it would be the only issue for me. Seeing as humans have a pulse, blood-flow and are generally alive a bullet wound would do some damage.

Logans skill tree only says 50% Boomerang return - is that right?

Yeah, that's right. But dont worry, the boomerang skill ability is 65% ( written in the description). The only problem is that the file that contain information that show up in skill tree is hardcoded and I can't modified it. I mean that I did try to but it wont change the percentage. Believe me, in my mod, Logan do have 65% of returning weapon.

How can I turn night time off?
