As I've tested, the game doesn't seem to read from extracted files, no matter where I put them, so maybe we have to repack them into .pak. Anyone know how to do that?

Just open .pak files in 7-zip/Winrar/... and add there your modified files.

Thanks for the heads up!

gives this error. Game now checks files after update1. If I use update1 deadislandgame.exe, gives this error. But, if I change exe that does not have update, game loads modified content.

Yes, updated version of the game check the files with hash or something.
This way is impossible to do any mod. Can someone take a look at this?

The same thing happens with Call of Juarez: The Cartel. (both developed on Chrome Engine 5)

A lot of people wanna translate those games into their languages. I hope someone can help.

Well, until somebody has an idea, the translation works the way rengareng described.

to bypass modified *.pak check, we can patch 2 bytes in 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...

thanks for answer it worked. Is it same for the The Cartel?

Any progress on .RPack?

rengareng
yes, also works for CoJC

Nice thing. THX

To translate the Game, TEXT ONLY, extract the "DI Voices&Texts.bin" - file from ""DataEn.pak.

Open it in your favorit HEX-editor, find the right format (sorry i have not look for it) to fix the points betwen the letters, and translate.

Have anyone find a way to change teh textures. Maybe a unpacker + packer to build a "custom-update-file".

Evin has posted a tool to edit "DI Voices&Texts.bin" files, you can use it. It is in page1,last message.

how did you found this 4 byte? Do you know assembly language??

I tested the Evin tool with X360 version and it works perfect
