Game Altering Mods

[Reillys Ranger]

Hey guys, new to the Steam community. I bought dead island riptide, really want to find mods for it, but navigating the pages is just a nightmare cant find anything for dead island riptide. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

By MOD, I assume you mean other game scenerios and not weapon's mods?

There are a number of mods for the game. Few do much with textures, as there is no sdk and only a few modding tools available. With that said, Optic@l posted a link to the moddb list in an earlier thread:

And, one of those mods is my own, http://www.moddb.com/mods/qmjs-mod , which I personally like the best, but I am obviously biased in that sense.

Ohhh i think i like yours. Sounds good. Is there a good tutorial you know of that can teach me how to install this stuff? I dont understand any of the terms in your instructions. This will actually be my first time installing a mod.

Look in your Documents folder. There should be a folder in there called Riptide, and in that is a folder called Out.

In the Out folder should be a few files, including FirstRun.scr

Put the zip file in this folder (Out) and then right click and select Extract.
You should see a new folder called Data.

That's all there is to it.

If you end up with a folder called QMJS-Mod-1.8-Data, go into there and move the Data file up into out and delete the QMJS-Mod-1.8-Data folder. This usually doesn't happen, but it can depending on what program is handling your zip files.

Make sure you read the QMJS-MOD Readme.pdf (there is a copy in the Data folder). It changes a lot, and you'll miss a few things if you don't read it.

Have fun.

Your instructions were great but I cant find the zip file.

[qmjs]

It should be wherever your computer puts files you download. Typically using Internet Explorer that is the Downloads directory under your username on the desktop, or C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\downloads.

If you can't find it, you can try putting the file name QMJS-Mod-1.8-Data.zip in the search box on the start menu.

Ah. Thank you. Hate this.

Hey, i have been trying to use this mod but I don't believe it is working correctly. I put the data folder into the out folder. but I'm not seeing the other 3 files in the out folder that should be there. I did create a new character as well but it doesn't seem like the changes went through. If you could get back to me, I would greatly appreciate it :D

I got it sorted. Just can't use the definitive edition lol

I'm having this same problem. The only thing in Out is a folder called Settings. No files no other folders. I put the Data folder from the zip in there and nothing has changed when I started a new character. I have the original version of the game (not the Definitive Edition)


And this...
"The Data directory should be in the same directory as a file called FirstRun.scr. When installed correctly, the directory will
contain four files: check, ConsoleHistory_Engine.txt, ConsoleHistory_GameScript.txt, and EngineConsoleSettings.dat, and
three folders, Logs, Settings, and Data"

This paragraph makes no sense. If I put Data in the directory that contains the file FirstRun.scr then how will I that same directory only contain 4 files (ConsoleHistory_Engine.txt, ConsoleHistory_GameScript.txt, and EngineConsoleSettings.dat) none of which are {LINK REMOVED}FirstRun.scr?

There is no Logs directory. I searched the entire tree of folders for it. There is no FirstRun.scr file. I searched my entire hard drive for it.
