Character Swap Stage Fixes
RE4UHD V.1.7 + V.2.0 (Main Game only)
Hello friends, today I bring you a new kind of Stage Mod that will help us when we are playing with character Swaps in Resident Evil 4 UHD. Character swaps are when we decide to use players other than the intended character in a scenario, like when we use Leon in Separate Ways, or when we use Krauser or Ada in the Main Game.
When we decide to play the game with character swaps there are often limitations to how we can navigate the stages because of lacking animations, or how the game engine handles skeletons & vertex weights. With this mod I have not solved all these issues directly, but have created workarounds that will enable us to navigate the game without restrictions.
There are two parts to the fixes in this mod: Separate Ways & Main Game.
Separate Ways
Examples of use are when we use Leon (or other characters) in Separate Ways. In this mini game, we are often only able to navigate somewhere with the use of Ada's grapple gun (hookshot). Since Leon and other characters do not have these animations, the game will not let us use the grapple gun and we are stuck... (there may be something else that is preventing this as well, but more research is required).
I created a workaround in this mod using new AEV events that will allow us bypass these areas using the CLIMB function instead of the hook shot. I have not removed the hook shot AEV events, so if you still want to play Separate Ways with Ada and use the grapple gun it will still work the same as before. With this mod we are now able to play any character in Separate Ways without being stuck at certain locations!
Main Game
The Main Game fix includes several small fixes to allow us to penetrate areas that we would not mormally be allowed to pass. The first of these fixes are the gates that are usually what block us in character swapping in main game. I simply edited the locations of the AEV events that were preventing us from getting through the gates at the two boss locations.
The second kind of fix is that where we require Ashley's help in Main Game to activate AEV events that allow us to continue through the game (floorpads & switches). I have modified several of these events so that we can pass without Ashley's assistance.
Also included in this mod are several new locations to save. There is no typewriter model present for these new saves, but they will work just the same (see video for new save locations).

INSTALLATION
Installation is fairly straight forward. Simply move the downloaded udas files to their relative destinations (download folders are arranged in hierarchical fashion). Make sure you move/rename the original udas/udas.lfs files in the original directories. Any of the uads files with .lfs extension will override the new files, so make sure you move or rename the originals with the same name as new ones.
VERSION 2.0 NOTES
As stated above the v.1.7 version of the Character Swapping Stage Fixes was released with an entire section devoted to Separate Ways that allowed characters to access areas only previously available by Ada's grapple hook. Since the release of the RE4UHD Ultimate Trainer by @raz0r this portion of the Character Swapping Stage Fixes mod are no longer necessary as the trainer provides a hook shot function available to all swapped characters.
In the v.2.0 version I have only included the two stage fixes that still affect swapped characters while using the Resident Evil 4 UHD ultimate trainer in Main Game
If you are going to do character swapping in Separate Ways you will require 3getu841's Separate Ways Melee fix for Wesker & Hunk or his Krauser Meele fix for Separate Ways , the radio fix, and the original melee fix from the Japanese site.
