Hey, boys, I have a problem with hands for at least player character in 1st person view. My gloves kinda go through hands when I look down with weapon holstered. I guess it's not a program's fault but game engine or something, but can you help me how to avoid this problem? What combination of maybe arms, hands and gloves to choose? After some testing, this problem seems to occur semi-randomly. It's random not in a sense of time, but place. In some places it occur, in some not. But for example if I stay in one place, it won't randomly happen
Hey Jason, I don't know if you're going to be updating this mod or anything in the future, but if you do, would it be possible to make a lite version for those of us with dog-water computers? My laptop can handle some pretty beefy games(with a few lowered graphical settings for best performance), but it crashes every time I try to use the designer(my laptop is about a decade old at this point, so it's a miracle it can run new games and mods at all tbh lmao). Thanks a ton for all the work you've done in modding DL1&2 regardless!
Hey SlayerSykes, Thanks for your post, I have just released a new version of the tool which should run on your system =) please let me know if that's not the case! I hope you enjoy and thanks for your support. -Jason
Perhaps you are the main person among DL mod makers, you have made a huge contribution to this matter. I've been familiar with your works since the days of mods for DL1
update it works now because it was running in the background after crashing, but now im very confused, watched the tutorials and still have no idea what im doing, my characters hands are invisible when i hold a weapon and etc.
A couple of questions about this mod. Can I only change my appearance if I take off all gear? As in I can't get any bonus attributes that the gear give me if I use this mod? How do I fix the floating hand problem? Am I missing something that fixes that? I noticed that it includes paid skins, is this still legal?
Hey SomeGuyNr2, make sure to use the tutorials and guides/manual for these questions, and let me know if I don't answer them direct enough but the tool can replace every outfit, npc, and player skin available. Make sure to check out the Presets tutorial.
For the paid skins, no additional work was put into adding these models to the program, Techland includes all of their paid content in the base game for whatever reason, so the tool is simply reading what is available in the base game. In Dying Light 1, they released each paid expansion as a DLC#, they didn't use this approach in DL2, so I would have to go out of my way to force those items to be removed, which I'm happy to do if Techland reaches out, but that's not something that was done deliberately.
I can't seem to find a solution to the floating/clipping hand problem in your tutorials. In the preset tutorial you mention that you haven't found a solution yet, so I take it that there is no fix atm.
I found the solution though someone else here in Nexus: In materials, you have to make sure the name ends in _FPP and not _TPP, so you are going to only use models/parts that have a _FPP variant, so not all combinations/presets are going to work.
Haha yea you can, pretty easily. Sneeds work with the Textures will always be better due to his labor of love adding details to specific textures, while you can probably get pretty close using the tool.
I'm not sure if it's actually fixable, but when using the volatile preset in game, the head clips through the first-person camera. So, I'm guessing a temperary fix on my end would be to just remove the head. No big deal, just thought I'd say something.
EDIT: My solution was delete the head and cover it up with hoods. Honestly looks awsome, might share it sometime.
Hey DavinoPepino, Each model and category has it's own solutions for making them playable on the player, glad to hear you got it working, they don't use the traditional methods with the special infected compared to humans and the player, but it is possible, you just need to review what materials and models are applied where. Cheers

Is there a way by any chance to play in coop with 2 modified characters ?
