About this mod
Makes the game's floaty and unresponsive movement more responsive, making it feel more modern, while staying true to the original feeling and style.

Movement Overhaul - Dead Island
Let me start off by saying that no, you weren't the only one that's still enjoying this old game. Is it the memories from our childhood or younger selves? Is it the atmosphere or the casual gameplay? Who knows, but this game is fun as hell. The age of this game however definetly shows in the movement. It feels floaty and unresponsive. I've found myself sliding over objects or walking past open doors way too much, so I decided to dive into the scripts and fix that.

Version 1 includes:
- Forward, backward, sideways, crouching and aiming movement speed is increased a bit
- Sprinting speed is increased a bit for realism sake
- Jumping hight is a bit higher to make the game's awkward 'parkour' a bit less frustrating
- Movement accelaration and decelaration has been normalized, meaning when you stop holding a movement key, you actually stop
- Increased FOV to feel less nausious
- Weapons are visible while sprinting, looks best with one-handed weapons
Installation
1. Download the file.
2. Go to the Dead Island folder, and open DI, generally located somewhere like:
E:\Gaming\Launchers\Steam\steamapps\common\DIDE\DI
3. Using 7zip or any other extracting program, open the Data0.pak archive in that same folder, click on data, then skills.
4. Find default_levels.xml from that folder, and copy it somewhere else. This is your backup, if you ever want to remove this mod.
5. Place the default_levels.xml file that you downloaded from here in the skills folder from above. Overwrite.
Uninstallation
1. Find your backup file from step 4, and copy it to where you installed the modded file. Alternatively, remove the modded file and validate your game files trough your game's launcher.
