📋 About This Mod
HI! this is my mod for dying light the beast called, Kyle feel like Crane. its a dum name but i like it:)it removes a lot of the dl2 animations and replaces them with dl animations while also making Kyle feel more
HOW TO:
drag and drop the common_anims_pc and player_anims_pc in to "Steam\steamapps\common\Dying Light The Beast\ph_ft\work\data_platform\pc\assets"
drag and drop the data4 in to "Steam\steamapps\common\Dying Light The Beast\ph_ft\source"
you can change the number of the dataX to whatever you want.
MAKE SURE YOU BACK UP YOUR SAVES
My mod’s goal is to make Kyle Crane feel unique from Aiden Caldwell. I’m basing everything on retail Aiden from the current version of Dying Light 2, which means anything Aiden has by default, Crane will not, animation-wise, kind of.
This opens the door to making Crane feel way more unique.
So yes, to all my E3 lovers, there are some 2019/2018 E3 animations Dying Light 2 included in this mod. There are also a lot of Dying Light 1 animations to help Crane feel more like himself again.
This mod also adds some cut animations that were in old Dying Light: The Beast videos.
NEW MECHANIC
This mod introduces a new mechanic, called the DASH VAULT the dash vault will keep your momentum as your running around the world so make sure to now slow down when trying to do the dash vault. The faster you are the farther you'll go when preforming the dash vault.
You can also hold space to gain a little bit of hight.
(To do the dash vault you just press M1 when vaulting or jumping on to a surface)
WEAPONS
There are 3 different types of 1haned weapons and they all of their own animations, blunts, Axes, and Machetes.
The axes have Dying Light 1 animations.
Blunts and Machetes have added variation to them mainly in the weapon bounce.
Two-handed heavy weapons have also been reworked to feel closer to how Crane used them in Dying Light 1.
THIS MOD EDITS THE KEYBINDS:
One to better match Dying Light 1 and adds my own personal preferences.
(In the "my own personal preferences" which is in the default data pak sliding, crouching, active landing is now all binded to left ctrl.)
One that has the default keybinds and some Dying Light 1 keybinds only.
(has none of my personal keybinds only has the default and the "IN ALL KEYBINDS" binds)
(NOT ADDED YET BUT PLANED) And one for the hardcore Dying Light 1 players:)
IN ALL KEYBINDS
To do the air kick/head smash you hold M1.
Stomp is now E.
Ground pound is now holding C
