Used this mod throughout the base game no problem (aside from the no reload arrow menu bug), but once I started the Following it was no longer compatible since the mod is very outdated (cannot drive buggy as the code for the buggy bindings is not present). Figured out how to fix it though! (up to date as of June 10th, 2022).
Go to where your data files are stored (for me its D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\DyingLight\DW).
Make a backup of Data0.pak.
Then using 7zip open the Data0.pak archive. from there go to data\scripts\inputs
Right-Click on inputs_keyboard.scr and View.
Now using 7zip open the downloaded Data3.pak archive. from there go to data\scripts\inputs then Right-Click on the modified inputs_keyboard.scr and View
In the modded inputs_keyboard.scr file, ctrl+F and search for "watch" to find the modded lines of code then copy and paste them into the Data0.pak's inputs_keboard.scr file in the corresponding places (should be 8 total lines)
Use the modded inputs file as a guide of where to copy and paste the code, but below is a basic walkthrough.
The first 2 lines go immediately below the " AddAction(_ACTION_EQUIPEMENT_PREV, " line of code
The next chunk of code (5 lines) is its own section that goes below the LayoutKeybinding("Keybinding_Use2", _CATEGORY_HUMAN, _COLLIDE_HUMAN) section of code
(do not put inside the "{ }" of the Keybinding_Use2 section of code. It needs to be pasted after the bottom "}" since that is its own chunk of code)
Lastly, the final line goes in the View("&Keybinding_View_Other&") section immediately below the line " Layout("Keybinding_BriefDecline", "&Keybinding_BriefDecline&"); "
(this one goes inside the "{ }" of this section, since we're adding a line to this chunk of code)
? Layout("Keybinding_Watch", "&Keybinding_Watch&"); Note* this line of code is still broken and wont display the name of the keybinding in the "Other" keybind menu, but you can still edit the binding in the menu.
After editing the Data0.pak's inputs_keyboard.scr make sure to save the notepad file then apply changes to the archive. After this you should be good to go!
Previous issues of not being able to use the Bow Reload change arrow menu or not being able to drive the buggy are no longer present as the other files are all where they should be.
Just as before in sections of the game where time does not pass you will not be able to use the timepiece. (i.e. beginning of the main story and beginning of the Following).
Hope this helps you get one of my favorite QoL mods working!
It did help mate, cheers. I am sharing the ready version of the file for those who can't do it. Download it and put it in the Dying Light/DW folder. Don't forget to back up the Data0.pak file just in case.
Thank you for this elaborate instruction on updating this essential Mod!
And btw, you can make the Keybinding setting display a proper name by adjusting the last line as follows: ? Layout("Keybinding_Watch", "Watch"); So instead of "&Keybinding_Watch&" you just call it "Watch" and it'll display Watch next to the customizable Keybinding. You can of course call it whatever you like, for example "Timepiece" like in the updated (but now outdated as well) Timepiece Updated here on Nexus.
Anyone can tell me if it works with version DL_1.49.7f1 from epic store installation and what do I have to do for that plz? Cause my game doesn't start after pressing continue or load any prev save! Thanks
go to C:\Program Files\Epic Games\DyingLight\DW find Data3.pak and open with winrar open mod file double click Data3.pak from the mod file transfer Data from mod file to Data3.pak game file
I cant change my arrows after installing this mod, and then removing it. I made sure my files are vanilla and even deleted everything in the documents/dying light folder. Anyone have this issue? how did you fix it?
I haven't had much experience with modding this game yet but I believe you can open the existing data3.pak file (not unzip but open) with a program like 7zip, add the new file in the same file path the mod author has instructed then close/save the program merging the 2 mods. In theory you can do this as many times as is needed.
Well i am a experienced modder i mod all my games once i finish them so if you want to install this mod then follow my steps 1.Go to your C drive go to steam\steamapps\common\DyingLight\DW (If you use GOG ) This PC\GOG games\DyingLight\DW 2.Open Data 0 pak with WinRAR or 7-zip 3.Go to Data 4.Go to scripts 5.Go to Inputs 6.Then move the files you downloaded in that folder Its how i installed the mod and it worked
Using with The Following Enhanced, 1.23.0 with pretty much everything... mod works but doesn't have a name next to the option in the key bindings. Seem to think it defaulted to 4 under the 'other' tab. Other than that it works as advertised.
