@DymoLo There used to be a program called Dead By Daylight Icon Toolbox that was used to download and upload custom icons/portraits/etc but the creator decided to stop supporting it, don't remember why. Nightlight basically does the same thing now with some useful extra features the Icon Toolbox didn't have
I love this about DBD! Being able to express yourself even in a small way through the hud makes your experience a lot more unique. It does suck though when your favorite icon pack is slow to update to the newest chapter or it stops getting updated all together
Just as a heads-up: The icon names on the Wiki are quite often renamed before we upload them, since the devs are anything but consistent with their naming conventions and we like to keep things consistent on the Wiki. While a good part of the Perks fill fit the "iconPerks_perkName.png" format, some are not in camel case ("PerkName.png"), have a different initial ("iconsPerks"), or use their WIP name that is completely different to their current in-game name.
funny timing actually, im currently working on a piece of software to automatically package custom made perk icons into the right folder's with the right names etc all at the click of 1 button, im not trying to advertise or anything like that, was just cool to see multiple people thinking about the same subject
I've been using custom icons for many years, it's fun. Be careful when updating - right around updates to EAC, which does happen every now and then, some people have (very rarely) been caught in dragnets and gotten themselves banned because the game thinks you're trying to edit something extra. Typically, though, inconsistencies will just mean you get booted from the game and need to verify your install, and either scenario is extremely rare.
@@PebsieTTV i heard from somewhere years ago this was stranger things days that people were getting banned this way and the devs couldn't do anything cuz the banned players where on the anti-cheat side? do you know abt any of this pebs?
@@radioboy717 I'm not Pebsie, but EAC flagging an account means you're getting banned by their system, not by BHVR: they can't help you. It's still a reality in pretty much any game where the anti-cheat is a license, rather than handled in-house, including DBD - I wouldn't worry though. Most people who got/get banned are getting flagged for interfering with model textures, not icons.
Hmm it's seems I'm stuck at opening stream on my Xbox (It's a joke but ye there wasn't mention that u can't do it on consoles I always wanted them but I know it's impossible)
So I use NightLight and I wanted to know what would I do if I wanted different packs? (like for example I find a pack that was better than my old one would I uninstall the ones in my file or what?) I just dont want to mess my game up
Hey im using microsoft store to play dbd and it says "There doesn't seem to be a Dead by Daylight installation path set. Please check your settings" what am i supposed to do?
@@MeoKyx when you open nightlight desktop, click settings from the left side of the screen. Once you've done that, there should be a olace called Custom path, click on it and try to find the Dead by Daylight folder. When you've found it, click on it and select it. Then when you install a pack, it should be on your game. Hope this helped :D
can you please tell me if i can do this or not if i play on pc but have dbd on microsoft store/ xbox gamepass for pc im not on an xbox im on a pc just dont play on steam
Guys serious question,i love this game and obviusly i don t like to get banned so first,its problably anti cheats can bann you? And second,with each update do the anti cheat something strange to your game?
@@o-gothmommysI’m new to pc could u please explain a little better. I really want to get these on Microsoft but it doesn’t work like the others. Is there a simple fix? Or do I have to do it manually
@@MeoKyx if you have it on the Xbox app you just follow the same steps here just whenever you’re installing the app your game file will be under Xbox apps folder instead of steamapps
I really want to have those but I don't play dbd On pc I play on xbox but please tell me there's a way Is how we can do it on Xbox as well If not , i'm gonna be so sad🙏🙏🙏🙏😣😣😣😣
Yeah that'd be extremely cool, but consoles aren't too happy with people modifying files. I think it's as much a Sony / Microsoft thing as a Bhvr thing. What they really need is official support -- hell they could even sell perk packs on the store to give back to creators!!!
@@PebsieTTV that’s what I meant with my original comment but yeah, they should do that I feel like that would be a unique customizable option in the water game like dead by daylight, could say that they have it it would be totally unique to Dead by daylight and they would make money in the process, and it would be proconsumer it would probably be a easy win

If you didn't mention NightLight, I was gonna be upset, lmao. BritishBoop works hard on that software and program.
one question can i get ban from going this some people tell me i can get ban others dont just making sure
I will forever love Nightlight for continuing the old DBD Icon Toolbox's legacy when it got discontinued.
Yeah, such a cool piece of software. So fast and efficient.

Buncha shit

Cheers for this, that's really useful to be aware of.

That’s super cool!! DM me on Twitter when it’s done and I’ll chuck a video out on it.
hows it going?
great tutorial !! was easy and straight to the point

Ah fair play, that’s not too scary then!

@T.BG822 thx I've always avoided icon changes cuz of this 😂
Came here to get pretty icons, leaving knowing i can literally draw my own now
Banger Vid as always!
Thanks man!!!
hey, I was wondering if I need to Log in with my dbd acc?
out of curisouity anythone figured out chucky's i found his code name and stuff but hex 2 can polay doesnt work with custom images
i did everything correct and the icons still are not in-game, I think it may be due to a recent update or somthing? IDK
Hmm it's seems I'm stuck at opening stream on my Xbox
(It's a joke but ye there wasn't mention that u can't do it on consoles I always wanted them but I know it's impossible)
Haha sorry man!!
So I use NightLight and I wanted to know what would I do if I wanted different packs? (like for example I find a pack that was better than my old one would I uninstall the ones in my file or what?) I just dont want to mess my game up
can you upload pictures into the icon?
how to remove them through the nightlight method is the question
You mean how to set it back to the default icons? Under "browse" is "default icons" where you can set it back I guess
Hey im using microsoft store to play dbd and it says "There doesn't seem to be a Dead by Daylight installation path set. Please check your settings" what am i supposed to do?
Right click on dbd when it's running and open file location
@@KuhmKnight i found the solution but thanks anyway
@@em1royunda770 hey how did you do it? I’m new to pc and it looks so cool😩 I need them

I want to use them but I’m afraid I will get banned for some reason
same. im so tempted though.
Do you have to delete and redownload dbd to get rid of the custom icons?
I wish dbd would officially support custom icons. It would be a fun reward for getting a certain prestige or devotion level or something
For sure. They could even sell them on the store to give artists a kick back.
Could you download it to pc to xbox?
Where do you delete the file if you accidentally downloaded the wrong one?
watched this while baked asf
I've a problem, I installed the icon pack and always have basic icons i don't know what to do. Please reply man :(
i have the same problem and cant fix it. have you figured it out >
My Spine Chill Icon is a picture of my cat. Because she scares easily. Also I have Meg Perks :)
That’s absorbable :)
can you please tell me if i can do this or not if i play on pc but have dbd on microsoft store/ xbox gamepass for pc im not on an xbox im on a pc just dont play on steam
the reason im asking is because when i tried to install it said i need to check my settings
That’s what I’m saying idk
this may be a dumb question, but how do you delete them if you change your mind later?
delete the game redownload my guess
verify files I'm guessing, lmk if this works

@@BrandonBreakfast awwwwwww!!!!😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
@@jessicamunoz5028you can do it on Xbox as long as your not playing it through cloud gaming
Can you download this to console
No
We need this on console😢
BTW perkbydaylight doesnt work (atleast for me) there are just somepost and stuff but nothing about perks
Can this get you banned?
How can I do this on ps5
Can’t
Quackers!
TY
this is skbidi
Im morbidly depressed
Sorry to hear that :(
Hi! Not a question about question perks, I want something refreshing for you.
How's your day?
Good thank you, how is yours? :)
bannable ?
There's no perks folder on ps5 😢
Yeah, not sure this'll ever be doable on console unless Bhvr add official support somehow!
*cries in console*
Are u able to do this on Xbox x series files?
First requirement: Be a PC player
It works on Xbox…
Doesnt work on consoles...
😢 just.... 😢
Yeah you need a pc to customize the game pretty much at all unfortunately
I mean yeah what were you expecting 💀
Obivously not.
Besides everyone knows that real gamers use pc
If you play it on Xbox app on a pc then it works too
I will never do this, the moment i try this i will get banned i just know lol.
no
I’m sad you can only do this on PC I wish that behavior would work with these people to bring these customizations to Consol
Yeah that'd be extremely cool, but consoles aren't too happy with people modifying files. I think it's as much a Sony / Microsoft thing as a Bhvr thing. What they really need is official support -- hell they could even sell perk packs on the store to give back to creators!!!
