How, what and why; TLDR?1) Citra has a modding feature now 2) Right-clicking on the game in Citra and selecting "Dump RomFS" will dump the game files for you 3) If you replace the arc files in "archive" with 0 kb dummy file (aka renamed empty text document) it will load the extracted files in models/chara/pl instead, making mods easier instead of modding arc files Keep in mind:-- These mods are made for Citra in mind but I'm sure there is a way to use them on 3DS as well like Luma3DS-- You can read a more detailed guide about using mods on Citra on the official siteFile Formats:.mod = mesh .mrl = material (this loads the textures, so only swap this, you don't need to swap textures, it will look for them) .ctc = physics like hair Installation:1) Download the archive which contains these three mods- Jill Wetsuite Replacing BSAA Jill
- Jill RE3 Outfit replacing Jill in Revelations Pilot Demo
- Claire replacing Jill in Revelations Pilot Demo
2) Put the desired mod in your Citra load directory:
C:\Users\%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Citra\load 3) The mods folder of your desired mod should be in the load folder:
- You can find the mod directory of your game by right clicking on it in Citra and then selecting Open Mods Directory, but make sure to put the mods folder in the "load" folder and not in the actual game id (0004000000035900) directory - E.G. "C:\Users\%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Citra\load\mods"
- So you would actually have "C:\Users\%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Citra\load\mods\0004000000035900\romfs\model\chara\pl\pl1010"
(These dummy files makes the game looks in the following path in the picture below; instead, making modding easier)
4) If you want Revelations Jill to show up in Mecenaries 3D Character select, enable custom textures + preload textures in settings -> graphics

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I've been modding this game for a bit now, and am happy to see it being made easier on Citra.

No problem, I just thought it's odd there's not much info/mods for this game. Now here's something else... Claire Pilot/Office replacing Pilot Jill Chris replacing Richard (inb4 Richard became a woman; Rachel) Is this worthy of release? the demo is very short anyway

I mean sure. Despite it being short, I think it's worth looking into modding. I've been looking into making this work as a Mercs stage. After playing this game for nine and a half years, a new stage would be pretty welcoming lol. Could do some swaps as Easter eggs, etc. Oddly the demo doesn't work for me. The FPS just completely flatlines when the loading screen appears.

After all these years we're finally getting some mods for Mercenaries 3D. I've been looking forward to learning how to mod games myself and the 3DS is pretty simple with modding. I hope we get some tools for this as well as get an easier way to install these mods on the actual handheld. I'm also looking forward to the full game of Revelations getting some mods if it's possible.

And... yeah... it is kinda stupid they're not using the Rev Jill outfit and that stage as usage outfit + stage in Mercs 3D since that Rev demo is basically running on the same engine, it is literally the same game.

Hmm, I tried using the Rev1 Jill mod on my 3DS system and everything works great. However, the image for Rev1 Jill doesn't show in the character select. I still see BSAA Jill. I wonder if it's possible to get custom textures working on the actual 3DS system. It should be possible though since Mario Kart 7 have their mods installed the same way and the custom images for the character are put in a directory. Maybe our custom textures should work if we know what directory they are originally in?

I don’t believe mine is a ripped version. It’s the full game. My buddy was experiencing it as well. First worked for him, then tried it out, and it crashed during the load screen.
As for mods, I can directly edit the sound files and put them on 3DS by repacking and whatnot with GodMode9. The problem would be doing it for Citra. Even dumping the romFS, then repacking it so Citra can read it, is a pain to do.

Why did I bother explaining everything in the main post if people are going to ask me the same things I explained in the DM and here? smh... Citra has a modding features which allows loading a file instead of the ones in the rom itself, this isn't like the 3DS, I don't have a 3DS so I don't know how you'd mod it.

I’m not accusing you of repacking the romFS, nor did I say you did repack it in any capacity. If you want to jump on me about reading posts, then I would suggest you take your own advice before accusing me of doing that. All I said was that I could do SFX modding, and how more difficult it is compared to GodMode9. All anecdotal stuff. It was a quick shift in topic from character models to SFX editing. This topic is about modding the game, right? I brought up SFX modding thinking you might be interested in it. Afterwards, I stressed it’s just harder to do compared to actually doing it on a 3DS with GodMode9. All I am doing is talking about my experience with modding the game so far. And with that, I believe I’m departing this topic if that’s the kind of attitude I will get. Never mind the accusatory tone, or blaming me for things I didn’t do. Don’t throw stones in glass houses as they say.

Is there a reason you can't dump RE3 Jill into the full Revelations? Why just Mercenaries and the Demo?
I love the 3DS Revelations better than any other version because it still had the controls perfectly matching RE4 (even the laser sight worked the same way) whereas the HD ports made it so where your gun was aiming, and where the gun fired ...were completely different places.
The ONLY reason I play the HD ports is because I can't stand Jill's wetsuit. But If I can import RE3 Jill and Pilot Chris from Mercenaries into Revelations....it will be definitive as far as I'm concerned!

Honestly I have not tried, I just suppose the model format or bones are different.

could mods really be adapted for use in the 3ds system?
