I converted RE6 Mod tool for RE5 to import/export RE5 mod file. If you watch and understand darknessvaltier's RE6 modding tutorial videos ( z6.invisionfree.com/Resident_Evil_4_PC/index.php?showtopic=25757 ) , you should be able to apply the same workflow and transfer characters mesh to RE5.

I said *should* because I have not yet import a complete character, I am new to 3ds max and still learning how to use skin wrap to transfer bones to new mesh.

* Please update to at least v0.21 if you haven't done it. It fixes the skin wrap mess and save you hours/days of fixing the broken rig.

Version 3: www.mediafire.com/download/f1i7pctoo2i7uh2/RE5TriStripV3.zip
www.mediafire.com/download/14gua8se4xe323d/RE5TriStrip.zip

Limitations:
- ***very important*** Script cannot import mod file that was exported by this same script itself. This is due to exported mod file can contain >32 bones map.
- Script works with Max 2012. does not work with Max 2015, other Max version untested.
- ~~Chris warrior and Sheva business have some body parts disappeared after exported by script.~~
- RE5 mod tool only import PC RE5 base game character mod file. Does not work with Gold edition mod file ( those have >32 bones in bone map).
- Supports up to 4 bones per vertex. mod tool will pick the 4 bones with highest bone weight for each vertex and export them.
- Try reduce the number of new meshes you import. Use MAX editable mesh "attach" button to first combine new meshes based on common material id. For RE6 Ada Wong, I combine boot and pants into one mesh, shirt-sleeves-jacket into another mesh.

I am not going to write a detail tutorial as I have not finished studying the RE6 modding video.
Run RE5 mod tool in 3dS max and import a RE5 mod(i.e. sheva normal) as base. follow darknessvaltier's tutorial to import a new mesh from other game and replace body parts. Select any modified meshes and export it to a .NEWMOD file. Pass .NEWMOD to RE5TriStrip.exe and convert to RE5 .mod file
RE5 mod tool max script only export triangle list, but RE5 game can only display triangle strip mesh, that is why we need to run RE5TriStrip to convert the export file.

RE6/RER Max Mod Tool Script was originally written by maliwei777

Ported to RE5 mod tool 0.1 by aman
Contrmalis: for RE5 stage mod file import/export ideas and supports.

Mod Tool Change logs:
v033a:
Aman made a new version but it was never posted here:
v0.33a:

Here v33a script for RE5 modding. I've reported about a few glitches to Aman and he fixed it not so long time ago. However, he didn't upload the newer version and didn't update and old thread.
Now Chris's cut-scene should be moddable, but it requires to spilt up head mesh on two parts. He also fixed weird shadows bug in figure section and cut-scenes. Can't 100% confirm, but motion blur issue should be fixed too (at least it is in my latest mods)
(-- v0.33a Oct, 26 2020 -aman, fix crash casue by modding Chris cutscene head. fix 3dsmax not deforming single bone vertex issue.)

One more thing. Exporting into modded file doesn't crashes the game anymore. So you can easily set lods/edit geometry/change matID and export modded parts ONLY into modded .mod file without any crashes. Just don't forget to use RE5TriStrip.

v031e - fix a bug which stretch some parts of replacement mesh
v0.31d - Replace all ':' in mesh name with 'x'
     - Fixed import of FairyTaleSheva(pl2300.mod) uEm10(em1000.mod) uEm11(em1100.mod).
     - fixed export UV problem of uPl07RebeccaNormal.arc (pl1d00.mod)
     - a new RE5TriStrip.exe that does not cut out some faces in exported mod file.

v0.27 - Fixed cut scene head mod file import problem
v0.26 - Make all materials compatible with 4 bones vertex. Convert any 8 bones vertex to 4 bones format. This fixes issue of some exported meshes turned invisible.
v0.25 - fixed imported meshes vertical (z-direction) position bug
v0.23 - fixed a crash when exporting invalid texture uv coordinates (0xffff)
v0.21 - Filter out the degenerated triangles during import. degenerate triangles are invisible but link disconnected meshes together and mess up skin wrap.
v0.2 - Fixed a bone map export bug that crashes script when processing a mesh that have more than 4 bones assigned to a vertex.
v0.1 - Initial release

If you take a closer look at the follow image , you may notice Sheva is wearing Ada Wong's agent jacket and pants but still using Sheva's outfit texture. I have not figure out how to replace RE5 texture yet.

This working to re6 for every all model? including skin modding and skin all of re6?

If it would be possible, make full characters? I've never done this, I hope someone can do it.

Thank you! Aman

Import the model you please into re6 and convert it to re5

I must say aman you have brought faith and hole to everyone who wanted this thank you and I hope to see a fully working Ada Wong soon in RE5

There might be shader problems because you know it's re6 models lol

Wow, awesome. It can not be that after so much time modding RE5 can finally become more than he was before. It's really cool.
Thank you for this aman, you're the best.

I can not wait to see the first attempts to import something new. Jill RE3 Outfit as in Mercenaries 3D, Claire finally be able to work shoulder to shoulder with his brother, Leon, Ada and other - it must be amazing!

Thank you, Aman!

Guys can you explain something for me. I'm very familiar with Maya, but i know nothing about 3ds Max. It's very hard for me to understand whats happens in darknessvaltier's video tutorial.

So main idea is to transfer skin weights on new model?

Whats specifications for new model?

Do we need to create specific groups for different parts of the model?

Can we use solid model without (almost) any separated parts?

Can i export workflow from 3ds Max in .fbx (or another format) to work in Maya and then send it back to 3ds Max?

And wich version of 3ds Max needed to work with this script? 2012?

MAX would have highlight the problem line in script editor, It will help if you can copy and paste the several script lines before and after the errors in reply. It could be some vertices in costume did not have a bone assigned, or some bug in exporting bone map. I need more infomation.

Transfer bone weights to new mesh using Skin Warp modifier. copy old mesh name to new new mesh, delete old mesh.
The new model you import can contain multiple meshes but each mesh can only use one texture, this is the limitation of mod file format. So try combine meshes base on common texture reference.
The more meshes you import the more meshes you need to apply skin wrap and rename, try combines mesh with common texture . In darknessvaltier's video he use one single mesh for the new body, that is fine if your character use only one texture for the whole body. RE5/6 character however have shirt,pants holster in different texture file so I must use at least one mesh for shirt and one mesh for the lower body.

Script was tested with Max 2015 and should works with 2012 . I don't know much about max so cannot answer .fbx queston.
