📋 About This Mod
INSTALLATION
DO NOT INSTALL BOTH MAIN FILES. IT WON'T WORK.
IT'S A GOOD IDEA TO BACK UP YOUR SAVES.
DW_DLC8: Find your Dying Light game folder and then extract DW_DLC8 there.
DW_DLC1: Find your Dying Light game folder and then extract DW_DLC1 there.
Troubleshooting
[]This only applies to the DW_DLC1 version of the mod, as you are not expected to have issues with DW_DLC8
[]If the menu does not pop up when you pause the game, it is because you are using a different game language than English
[]Rename the file called DataEn.pak inside of DW_DLC1 to your game language.
[]Example: DataEn.pak -> DataFr.pak
then launch the game and see if it appears inside the pause menu of either human or hunter.

EXTRA
This dev menu is something I fixed but creation does not inherently belong to me. However I have the rights to these assets used in this specific iteration of the menu.
It also has revamped some UI elements like the Hints of Extras and the Quick Join of Matchmaking
But I hope some of you like this dev menu!

💡 Beginner Tips
- Pick only one version (DW_DLC8 or DW_DLC1) based on your game edition—installing both will break the mod.
- If the menu doesn't appear, check your game language and rename DataEn.pak to match (e.g., DataFr.pak for French).
- Back up your save files before installing, as the mod can affect save data.
