    Within Data0.pak of Dead Island 1 there is a set of files that allow developer menus to be displayed and utilized. 1.3.0 of Dead Island is preferred as I'm writing it for this version.

    Prerequisites
    -Must be modded or have access to altering the content on the internal HDD (360/PS3)

    --Fast method--

    Files are included here as well
    Download this https://mega.nz/#!bkRTBDSS!HNDcN4DaP7gUQSzRIityKixiowVPQqEGK37NYvAxdGQ
    Go to the platform you have Dead Island 1.3.0 on.
    PC/360 users go to step 6
    PS3 Disc/ISO users go to PS3 (Installed on HDD) and go to step 6
    PS3 PSN users go to PS3 ALTERNATE and go to step 6


    --Manual/DIY Way--

    PC users - Be aware this CAN result in a VAC ban when online. Be careful
    I also don't have the PC version so if there's issues on accuracy here please let me know!
    1) Go to your current installation of Dead Island 1 in your steam directory
    [64bit] C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\DeadIsland\DI\Data0.pak
    [32bit] C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\DeadIsland\DI\Data0.pak(remember we don't support piracy here).
    2) Copy that file and make a backup of it in case something goes wrong
    3) Open the file with winrar (DONT EXTRACT) as it's merely an archive
    4) Navigate in the archive to Data\debugconf.def and Data\debugconfdefault.scr
    5) Rename the file debugconfdefault.scr to debugconf.scr; it will then save changes in the archive
    6) Take debugconf.scr and debugconf.def and extract them to your desktop (or anywhere easy access for you); place them in the folder DeadIsland\DI\Data (it should look like this, but lacking the ps3 specific filenames)

    8) Once placed in this folder it should be fine to close your folders and boot the game.

    Xbox 360
    1) FTP over Data0.pak from your Dead Island folder (Should be in Hdd1\games\Dead_Island\di )
    2) Copy that file and make a backup of it in case something goes wrong
    3) Open the file with winrar (DONT EXTRACT) as it's merely an archive
    4) Navigate in the archive to Data\debugconf.def and Data\debugconfdefault.scr
    5) Rename the file debugconfdefault.scr to debugconf.scr; it will then save changes in the archive
    6) Take debugconf.scr and debugconf.def and extract them to your desktop (or anywhere easy access for you) and FTP these 2 files over to Hdd1\games\Dead_Island\di\Data
    7) FTP over Data0.pak to Hdd1\games\Dead_Island\di and overwrite the file
    8) Once done you should be able to have debug menus active

    PS3 (Installed on HDD)
    Game ID varies based off version; US Disc is used for this portion. Look below for the PSN release.
    1) FTP over Data0.pak from your Dead Island folder (Should be in Hdd0\GAMES\BLES00749-[Dead Island]\PS3_GAME\USRDIR\DI )
    2) Copy that file and make a backup of it in case something goes wrong
    3) Open the file with winrar (DONT EXTRACT) as it's merely an archive

    5) Rename the file debugconfdefault.scr to debugconf.scr; it will then save changes in the archive
    6) Take debugconf.scr and debugconf.def and extract them to your desktop (or anywhere easy access for you) and FTP these 2 files over to Hdd0\GAMES\BLES00749-[Dead Island]\PS3_GAME\USRDIR\DI\Data
    7) FTP over Data0.pak to Hdd0\GAMES\BLES00749-[Dead Island]\PS3_GAME\USRDIR\DI and overwrite the file
    8) Once done you should be able to have debug menus active

    PS3 ALTERNATE (Use this if you have the PSN version)
    1) FTP over Data0.pak from your Dead Island folder (Should be in Hdd0\game\NPEB00721\USRDIR\DI )
    2) Copy that file and make a backup of it in case something goes wrong
    3) Open the file with winrar (DONT EXTRACT) as it's merely an archive
    4) Navigate in the archive to Data\debugconf.def and Data\debugconfdefault.scr
    5) Rename the file debugconfdefault.scr to debugconf.scr; it will then save changes in the archive
    6) Take debugconf.scr and debugconf.def and extract them to your desktop (or anywhere easy access for you) and FTP these 2 files over to Hdd0\game\NPEB00721\USRDIR\DI\Data
    7) FTP over Data0.pak to Hdd0\game\NPEB00721\USRDIR\DI and overwrite the file
    8) Once done you should be able to have debug menus active
