Welcome to my Dead Rising 2 modding thread!
Here you can find all the mods I use and make, these will be updated and added too as often as possible.
Some of these mods will be ported to Off The Record, they will be up either the same day or a few days later.
.exe Mods and Lighting will be explained in another thread, because sharing .exes doesn't always work, I'll tell you how to do it.
ALL MODS INCLUDE A README.TXT, THIS EXPLAINS HOW TO INSTALL THE MODS!
Early Main Menu Mod
Restores early time of day for main menu. - DOWNLOAD
Improved Camera Field Of View and Max Pitch
Makes the camera slightly zoomed out, adjusts default height and allows the player to look up and down further before the camera becomes locked. - DOWNLOAD
Retail
Mod (Left sign was moved by accident.)
Quickie Debug Menu v0.21 + Free Cam (Keyboard Mapped - Debug Only)
Allows you to use Quickie Debug Menu and Free Cam on keyboard. Normally the free cam is partially enabled but this has the spew fx button and forward and backward movement.
The button mapping was difficult but I tried to make it the most convenient as possible, controls are in the README.txt - DOWNLOAD
Silver Strip - No Awning (SCREENSHOTS USE EDITED LIGHTING / .EXE)
Removes the awning that covers the Silver Strip. Inspired by E3 2009 / TGS 2009 versions of the game, which didn't have an awning.
NOTE: Delete both "missingprop.big / missingprop.tex from data > models > special. To get rid of the purple / pink boxes. - DOWNLOAD
