Mods?

[Prisoner849]

Are there any mods that improve better loot chances?

[Game_Wizard213]

If you go to dead island game tab look for the button "Guides" for this game then click
the "Modding & configuration tab" there is a link for the dead island 1 definitive edition save game editor. Its pretty easy to use once you get the hang of it. You select your character you want then go to the tab called "Skills" then go to the tab next to it that says "Tweaks" under it there are all kinds of cool options including always finding upgraded loot or unbreakable weapons etc.... Hope this helps.

Actually I was looking for a mod that gives better Metal Chest Loot for DIDE.
At Higher levels finding White rarity items in metal chests is a let down. Green should be the minimum rarity for Higher level players.

Go into the game files in data.pak0 or 3 and just change the percentage to 100% your welcome

So I been looking in the game data files specifically. So far I can't find the specific location to change the chances or minimum to "Green" rarity. However I will keep searching and do some more research to help you out. Just need some more time so please be patient with me ha ha. In the mean time keep killing those zombies!

GUESS WHAT SOMEONE WAS ABLE TO HELP ON REDDIT. I WILL SHARE THE POST LINK AND GIVE CREDIT TO HIM BUT ALSO POST IT HERE JUST IN CASE YOU NEED IT. THE ONLY CATCH IS THIS, IT MIGHT NOT BE POSSIBLE BECAUSE OF HOW THE GAME WAS WRITTEN BUT YOU CAN TRY. :) i will leave the post in a separate comment.

REDDIT POST CREDDIT TO FIEEEYEEIAN
"So, the main loot file "default.loot" is in the root of data0.pak (should be in alphabetical order). Look for this line in the file:

"sub definecolors()"

Now, like I said, I was having some issues getting the changes to work right. Another option might be hard coding individual weapons to be a certain color (inventory_gen.scr), but I'm not sure if that would work.

Something I just noticed while looking is that in "inventorystuff.scr", I see some lines like:

"Export int color_white = 0;"

And more for the other colors. Changing the integers there might do something, too. Haven't tested this yet.

here is the Reddit link post to the original post I made asking for help and got the answer.

Hope this helps if not I am sorry but I did try.

It works thank you.

I changed the values of the chests to be more realistic for higher level characters.

I changed Red Metal level 3 Chests to no longer produce White or Green rarity items.

White and Green rarity being lower quality items for low level players.

Blue, Purple and Orange are the weapons you want most.

This also works on Riptide if you import your high level character from DIDE which is a must.

For Riptide you will have to open Data0 and open default.loot and change the values

I would love to know how to change the upgrade chance of chest loot?

Ive had a busy day brother, and I am tired. I would suggest asking someone on Reddit. That link goes to a Reddit Group of Dead Island series fans for all the games and you can ask there. They will help hopefully. Have a good one and best of luck

Glad you were able to get it working!

For my own reference could you tell me what lines you changed and what you changed them too. It would be pretty helpful as I'm having some issues with my loot option in my modmenu. It seems to work for some but not others. Seeing yours could help. Also what level in-game and what area are you at.

Once I knew what I was looking for I found the lines easily and changed them.

how do you open the file itself without it "not responding" everytime you try to open it with notepad
