Hey everyone and welcome back to another release for the Infinity Designer. This version brings a very long list of stability and bug fixes along with several new features:
Changelog: - Added the ability to set a custom Content (textures) path in the main menu. This will load any of your custom textures into the Texture panel so you can immediately apply them to your models (these will not currently work ingame, they have to be injected using 010 Editor for now).
- Added the ability to set an Output path for all your creations, this will allow you to keep your creations outside of the tools StreamingAsset folder.
- Added the ability to load Presets using the new "folder" icon next to the presets, this will load your previous or other creations into your "Custom" folder. - Added the new Materials panel, where you can now select any slot (#'s) for the currently selected model and apply any material to that model. You can then change the textures for that material using the properties panel.
- Added several optimizations to the material and texture process so things should run much much faster now.
- Added an emissive slider to change the brightness for your emissive ingame. This still needs some manual work for it to properly work ingame but shouild work seamlessly with 0.9.
- Custom Materials and Custom textures are fully supported now on all models (there are a few materials that will show up still as "_BaseColor" instead of my custom shader "_dif, _nrm," etc that still need to be accounted for).
- The UI has been reworked to support a secondary panel that has the new preset loader system (make sure to match the preset selection dropdown to the Human/Infected/Category dropdowns on the Left for them to load properly), the new Variation designer panel complete with all material and texture properties, and the new save panel which allows you to capture a screenshot of your creation when you save it. To get started you must set the DL2 path and once done, hitting the save button will automatically add your creation to a .pak inside the DL2/ph/source folder, so if you're replacing "Aiden", all you have to do is hit "Save" and launch the game.
- A new camera system to better dynamically focus your creations by slots, along with a right click rotation and tilt system. The middle mouse scroll zooms and pressing the middle mouse tilts the camera directly (rather than orbit, good for focusing your screenshot).
- Since the stream earlier, the presets now load all of your set Material and texture modifications. =)
- You can create variations for each of the models and set them on the models using the variation slider, or you can simply save the character with any material and texture changes to immediately see those results ingame.
- The output will now be stored in the "InfinityDesigner_Data\StreamingAssets\Jsons\Custom" folder for this build. Make sure to keep backups for your favorite creations before updating to the upcoming updates in the future.
Before starting we need to set the path to Dying Light 2:
- Hit the "Settings" button on the Main Menu
- Press "Set Path" to point the application to the Dying Light 2 Root folder
- Don't know what the DL2 root folder is? No worries, use Steam or Epic games
- Right click the game in Steam or Epic and hit "manage", try to find "Browse to Folder". This is the Root path.
Changelog:
- A complete refactor of the output data for the built creations you come up with. Previously a large number of models were not properly binding to the skeletons when importing into the game, this latest version should allow Dying Light 2 to utilize a drastically increased amount of items. This now included 4 new fallback systems that attempt to give as much flexibility for the player and NPCs.
- A refactor for the data creation for the application, now you can update the application to the latest version of Dying Light 2 immediately when an update comes out using the new Main Menu > Settings > Update Data and Rebuild Jsons. This should only need to be done once every update to ensure you have the latest data from the game.
- With that refactor comes a new Main menu, where you can once again select between the Model Viewer and the Character Designer. I've gotten started on some new setting but most of those are early tier.
0.3a Hotfix: - Added a start panel for first time users to help set the path to Dying Light 2 immediately. You don't have to do this but it's required to save your creations.
- Added a Update popup that will show if the Dying Light 2 game is updated, you can use the Update button to automatically update your Infinity Designers data.
- Removed additional Settings information for now until hooked up. - Added a new error reporting system that should show you a popup if you hit an error.
- New hotkeys when setting the sliders in Character Designer:
1, 2 - Toggles through the different points on the skeleton starting from Upper Spine, to Head, then hands, legs. **(Restored)**
Up/Down Arrows - Go through the list of sliders
Left/Right - Adds or removes the values on the sliders
the Infinity Designer 0.2 has just released to the patreon site. A tutorial video is on the way!
**You can currently:**
- Create a custom Player or NPC, equipped with any model, material, and texture in the game.
- To get started make sure you set the export path by clicking the Save Button and hitting the 3 gears and hitting "Set Path". Set this to your Dying Light 2 directory.
Please do not share this application with nonsubscribers, this took a lot of work to create and I want to support my subscribers before releasing to everyone. I have made this accessible to all paid subscribers on the patreon.
Thanks and I hope you enjoy! I'll be going live this weekend to create the upcoming 1.6 IALR update using the Infinity Designer
Hey guys, if you happened to catch my live stream you got to see some of the new code I've written for creating new Characters for Dying Light 2. Well that wasn't just a tech demo, here's the actual application for you to try yourself!
Currently you can load into either the Model Viewer and load any model from the game into the viewer, including all custom models made for I Am Legion Reborn, and you can also select the Character Designer, where you can choose from thousands of options using only the Dying Light 2 reverse engineered outfits and models.
The UI is super rough but gets the job done, make sure to check out the Readme in the .zip
Roadmap: - Injection into the Dying Light 2 game - Ability to create new custom Materials that work in Dying Light 2 - Ability to design Uniforms - Ability to share your creations with others in the community and download and resume their work (modify to your hearts content).
Hey everyone, to better support the IALR community get the answers they need to get back into the mod and continue the slaughter, I've trained a AI ChatGPT model with all of my dev notes and code documentation as a resource to ask mod related questions. I'm continuing to refine the data based on the questions you're asking and clarifying some of the finer points in the documentation to improve the resources for the mod in general. I hope this is a useful resource and please let me know your thoughts on it's usefulness as I continue to release updates. Happy Gaming!
Hey Patreons! Thank you so much for your support! I wanted to go ahead and release the launcher and get your feedback on how it runs on your systems before the official version drops tomorrow with the new official update.
First steps:
1. Run the uninstaller or delete the old Data2.pak and Data3.pak that's in your Dying Light 2/ph/source folder.
1b. Extract the Installer in any folder, just make sure it has all the files found in the .zip unpacked as well.
2. Only start with IALR to make sure the install process goes smooth, then add other mods as needed.
3. You can toggle between Vanilla Dying Light 2 and Modding Dying Light 2 after the mod has been installed using the installer. I would highly recommend running file verification first after uninstalling the mod using the installer, as the launcher makes backups of your files with each game version to ensure the launcher is able to restore the vanilla game at any point.
4. When running the launcher for the first time, it will ask for a folder location, point this to the ROOT folder of Dying Light 2.
- Auto-update: Whenever a new update drops, you'll be the first to get it. Press the Update IALR button after running the installer for the first time and your previous settings should always be applied.
- Versioning: This launcher will let you know if your current version of the game and mod are compatible, and will let you know when launching the game through the launcher if it's not compatible.
- Quick Install: Once you have selected your features and installed the mod and it's modules, your selections will be remembered and utilized in the future to install updates or to quickly remove or add features.
Please let me know your feedback for this feature, as it was designed for your benefit and will only get better with time and feedback! Thank you and enjoy!
Hey everyone, thank you again for your support of the mod! I wanted to get this latest tool out to everyone, which allows you to create Backups and Restore points for your savegames for Dying Light 2.
You can use this tool to detect if IALR has been used in the savegames you have loaded, see the spawn location for each of your savepoints, and create named backups and then restore them as you want.
You can flag your savegames as "Modded" or Vanilla so you can create unique backups into a "Vanilla" folder or "Modded" folder that can then be loaded at any time down the road if you want to disable IALR or load from an older save.
You can also backup all of your saves immediately or pick a specific slot. You can also press "Shift + F5" at any time while the application is running to make a backup, which can be used while you play the game.
You can also then restore to that point as much as you want in the future. This will be especially useful when making savegames for testing out bugs you find ingame.
1st you'll need to point the tool towards your savegame location for DL2, that's going to be: ...STEAMDIR\userdata\YouruserID\534380\remote\out\save.
Once you do that the tool will backup your current savegames into an "Original" folder inside the "...STEAMDIR\userdata\YouruserID\534380\remote\out\save\savestorage" folder.
You can reload these original saves at any time to all slots by selecting "InitialBackup" and hitting restore

Here is the official IALR roadmap which includes some of the features to look forward to over the next year! The roadmap also includes additional content to be released with each Patreon supporter milestone reached!
Once we hit 50 new Patreons I'll be sending out a form where you can select and describe the melee weapon you would like added to the game. For each additional tier another form will go out for Ranged Weapons, Firearms, and Armor. I look forward to hearing from you and thank you again for your continued support of my work!
