engine_x86_rwdi.dll . Open that dll in favorite hex-editor and search for FFD684DB, and change 84DB to B301, then save dll and run game with modified *.pak.
P.S. it`s the simple way
P.P.S. sorry for my English...
mod of dll is not perfect, I tried chnge the file text MD Text&Voices.bin from DaraES.pak to the DataEn.pak, the game opened, and the title screen appeared in Spanish, but in time to open the menu, it also closed.
Any idea what might be?
Tks.

A slightly less terrible solution instead of hacking the DLL:
X:\dead island\DI>"Y:\Gibbed.DeadIsland.FixZip.exe" -v -o DataEn.pak.orig DataEn.zip DataEn.pak
target hash is 9BAF71AA
actual hash is 13E3327B
base hash is BBE82F6D
generated 57154 bytes of magic
success! final hash of 9BAF71AA
size: 749047 -> 1966102
X:\dead island\DI>
http://mod.gib.me/deadisland/fixzip-r3.zip
If it crashes / doesn't work, let me know! (and include what the original file is, and upload the modified file somewhere)

Don't ask me about localization tools; if you don't have the resources to develop them yourself you don't need them.

I put Data0.pak on Gibbed.DeadIsland.FixZip and nothing.

Usage is not that simple. Please at least look at the example txt/bat and the command-line help for FixZip.

I now it´s additional work. But if "you" can build a GUI for it, so that ALL can use "your" tools much more better/easier!?

I build tools for my use, and I do not use UIs for tools such as FixZip as I use batch scripting to automate their usage.
The ability to use command-line tools is a necessary facet of modding.

All of my more recent command-line tools support -h (--help) by default. It will also output the help if you give it no arguments.

Very, very, very, very much, thank you, Rick . It worked perfectly in the COJ The Cartel.
Thanks anyway, was of great help.
Hugs.

And here I thought this terrible hashing scheme was specific to Dead Island.

It is specific to their game engine Chrome Engine 5 of Techland.

Oh sure, I knew about the engine stuff, was just surprised that wasn't local to Dead Island since it's so terrible I figured it'd be a custom addition to the engine.
