Already finished the game?
Want to try something crazy?
Then let´s mod!
As you might have already noticed, Into the Dark is very modder-friendly. After having some emotional internal discussions, we decided to place all game data files unencrypted into the game folder.
Keep in mind that modding can screw up the game and you may have to reinstall from steam! We suggest you copy the game folder to another location than your steam library and start here. or even another pc (as there is no DRM, it works fine as long you have a steam client installed, can be in offline mode).
So, what can you change and what do you need?
Quests, Scripts, AI, Script Logic, Weapon specs, Shaders:
Can be changed by altering the scripts in the folder "scriptbank". All you need is the Windows Notepad, although Notepad++ is better.
Ingame posters, Overlays, Hints, Textures, Normal, Spec and Occlusion maps
Gimp with DDS plugin is sufficient.
3D models
Any program that can load DirectX format with embedded animations. Keep in mind that modding static elements of the level architecture can destroy the pathfinding, collision and Lightmapping!
Sounds, Music, Voice overs
Any program capable of editing .ogg files.
Good luck, have fun!
