Hello everyone
I'm new and don't know too much about modding. In the next time I'm going to have some free time and wanted to try a mod for my best friend. I wanted to import some character models into the game and create new characters for Re5 Mercenaries.
What I'm planning to do:
Import some models into the game (shouldn't be a problem thanks to some of your great tutorials)
Switch some melee attacks (so that 1 characters has melees from Chris, Josh and Barry for example)
Mod the character inventory (for example create totally new loadouts. But I'm not planning to create new weapons, would be too much work)
New voice acting: (create new voice clips for the things the characters can say (come on, go, wait, thanks, help, asking for things, praising)
Do you think that is possible for someone, who isn't great at modding? Or do you think I won't be able to do it?
Thank you for you answers.
hi dear sherlock if you have took your decision to do that
so i love to say that yes you can do
because the main purpose of modding is making wills and wishes come true
modeling and changing the voices are easily possible to do for you
and i'm sure you can make it (you are sherlock
)
but other things (melee and inventory) needs more effort
(probably one of the hardest modding)
because you have to do lots of hex editing and...
(maybe you can be able to do something about inventory by hex editing)
but if you wanna add all different melees to just one character
so you have to define more action buttons too!
(which it is
almost impossible without having the engine)
and also every time that you choose one of the characters
engine just would load dedicated enemy's react up (mocap data) to keep it (resource) low
so more work to do about that too
but you can easily import and replace your favorite weapon with the same class ( style ) into the game
the method is same as character importing (almost)
by the way
i hope someone helps you to do it
but if others couldn't help you, you don't give up and at least try it out
the biggest deal is: you will see some game crashes but instead you will get experience
so good luck mate
(one question:
my favorite is Jeremy Brett
what about you?)
