Advanced Moves

Mod is nearly 10 years old. If it works, it works.

Advanced Moves v0. 305 - by lyravega - No longer in active development

Adds more than a dozen of new skills; everything that this mod has changed since I started working on this mod, and more with the recent updates has been moved to their own skills. Also alters several existing ones. The new skills are free, and only requires you to meet the prerequisites. In addition, there are some changes to the keybindings; you can assign keys to use your equipment with one button, or check your watch, etc... If you only want the quick use / keybinding features, please check Quick Use and Watch mod instead.

Installation

-Not for just this mod, but for any game that you use mods, back your save files up first - and back the entire folder!

(you can find your saves at "...\Steam\userdata\number\239140\" folder)

-If you are not using other mods, then place the "Data3.pak" file within the archive to your game folder ("... Steam\Steamapps\Dying Light\DW\")

-If you are using other mods, place the data folder in the archive to your "... Steam\Steamapps\Dying Light\DW\Data3.pak" file

(you need a tool like WinRAR to open and manipulate .pak files the game is using; they are actually .zip files in disguise)

-Alternatively, you can use Simple Pakker to pack yourself a "Data3.pak" (just follow its instructions - but I still recommend WinRAR)

-To uninstall, remove the extracted files

Troubleshooting

-If you are playing with friends, now everyone is required to use same mods

-If you cannot join a friend, even with same mods/settings, have him send his "Data3.pak" file to you, or send yours to them; use the same file

Quick-Use Setup

-Reset your keybindings to defaults first, then adjust your layout, aside from Quick Use keys

-Quick Use uses a simple trick to get things done, cycle left/right till you find the keys you want (hint: order is based on rows of a QWERTY keyboard)

-Quick Use will not bind any keys, so if you are unsure that it is colliding with another key, bind the key you want to "Unbinder"

-Unbinder is a dummy action which does nothing in the game; it's only use is to clear a key so that Quick Use won't overlap with anything else

-Repeat the process till you assigned enough of them; if you just need 2-3 quick use keys, leave the rest as "disabled"

-Before heading back to the game, check every action in every category again to be sure that you are not missing an important key

Tip: The Equipment Number corresponds to the slots in your inventory. For example, my grappling hook has always been in the 4t
