After reconstructing the algorithm as C code, DISE could fully support the game on PlayStation 3.ĭevelopment of DISE slowed down exponentially since year 2013 while Steffen focused on life. This finally resulted in the discovery of a checksum algorithm that allowed the game to reject modified saves on this platform. Steffen spent about one week researching the save mechanism for this game and platform, and analyzed quite a bit of PowerPC assembly code.

All of those things made their way into DISE somehow.Īdding full support for PlayStation 3 was quite an accomplishment. Riptide was released later, and there were other platforms like Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 as well. A few weeks into the research of the game's internals, development began and that seemed to be the last time Steffen played the game for his own enjoyment.ĭISE was taking shape with support for Dead Island on PC. Steffen saw an opportunity to make a save editor with the ability to recover some corrupted state. Shortly after the original Dead Island game was released in year 2011, it became apparent that bugs in the game could leave gamers with corrupted saves and the loss of all progress.

I am also available there for support.DISE (dīs)-short for Dead Island Save Editor-is an app made by Steffen André Langnes for the purpose of enhancing the gaming experience and replayability of the Dead Island game series from Techland. The new Discord server for DISE has become a small community for discussing DISE, the games, and for getting the latest experimental builds of DISE. At this time, SW supports Dead Island Definitive Edition but not Riptide.

* PS4 support relies on third party software like Save Wizard for save decryption/encryption. Donations are still appreciated but everyone gets all of the features DISE has to offer. The premium features are now completely free.

Support for Dead Island (Riptide) Definitive Edition for PC and PS4*.

Here are perhaps the top two changes in DISE: Your help with testing both existing and new features will also be much appreciated! The next version is not yet ready for an official release, but thanks to a lot of people who already helped with testing DISE, it should be stable enough for general use. Major changes mean that there is a high risk of introducing new bugs, and for that reason it has needed a long round of testing to fix major problems. In case you did not know, the project was resurrected last year, and many changes have been made in DISE. TL DR: Experimental builds of DISE are available in the #edge channel on the DISE Discord server. If you are excited about DISE being open-source, why not go ahead and check it out on GitHub? You can look me up on DISE's Discord server if you have any questions, or send me a good old e-mail.

#DEAD ISLAND DEFINITIVE EDITION PC SAVE EDITOR CODE#

I wanted to preserve the history but I needed to make sure that there were no more sensitive files in the code base accidentally being made public. To start with, I have set up build automation, reformatted the code, removed secret files from the code base and started a new change history for the code. Things will be rough in the beginning but we have to start somewhere and improve from there. I would rather that you didn't see those things.

There are ugly things in the code that should have been done better. Opening up a project after almost 9 years is not an easy task. Even if someone tries to steal my work now, you guys know. It was considered many times but protecting my child always weighed more.īy now DISE has a community and a lot of people know who made DISE. I debated with myself whether I should open-source the project and risk people stealing my hard work and taking credit for it.

The project was neglected for several years in a somewhat incomplete state, yet it was impossible to abandon it.

Did you know that I have kept giving free support since the first release? That still applies today even though I haven't given it much love over the recent years.ĭISE has always been mostly a one-man project that took a lot of effort which has not given me a whole lot in return. DISE has been a project most dear to me ever since it was born in year 2011.
