Hey everyone.
Last night after so many hours of really hard work and so much trial and error I finally BROKE the cursed spell of importing custom models into RE4 UHD.
BUT since the game engine is almost identical to that of GC/Wii versions, I found the same bug that I had previously discovered when importing models into GC/Wii versions.
The problem is with model animations. In some cases some animation sequences such as using knife or grenades make the game crash AND the worst problem is that no matter how hard I tried, could not find a way to figure out the reason of this seemingly unnecessary bug.
The generated model format is 100% identical to original ones and I guess some thing must be wrong with animation FCV files but right now I'm not so sure about that.
The next problem is about the appearance of strange font like textures on the model. And I can not tell where these font like textures come from and more amazingly why and how the hell game engine uses them.
Until the above problems are not completely solved, it would be impossible to have a fully functional model import tool. You can give it a try and help me figure out these problems. Just try to swap model files by renaming them and see what happens. Then try to find the main reason of appearing that damn font like textures.
About animation bug, I absolutely have no idea about it's main cause right now and need some diligent testers to join and help me. If you like to help, let me know. Let's join forces and cooperate in order to finally finish this toolset.
Like always, below are some screenshots that prove you what I have done so far :
Best wishes dear friends.

Glad to see that something good is moving on... even if Crapcom did a lot of effort to let us have big problem in modding this fake HD version... Your progress has been really impressive and i hope that soon you could solve the animation crash problem you were talking about. For the other texture glitch, instead... The next problem is about the appearance of strange font like textures on the model. And I can not tell where these font like textures come from and more amazingly why and how the hell game engine uses them. well... strangely i already saw something like that, and better than "Venom Chris", i'd like to call it "Button Chris" ... ...but in that particular case it was an user error about messing in a wrong manner with a "XBOX/PS Button MOD" and the renaming of its textures... Can it be something similar to it for your try too, maybe ? Thx a lot for your effort , dude. Clay65

Thanks clay65 for your kind attention.
I don't think the texture glitch is just about renaming or something like that. it's about a much more complicated problem I think. It's about that damned TPL shit and correct usage of them in game engine.
To be honest sometimes I really miss RE4 2007 because it was a modding king. easy model format, easy texture usage BUT lacked a bunch of effects that Capcom gave us in UDH's shit and took back easy models and textures in return. DAMN those dumbs in Capcom. Now I understand why legendary shinji mikami left them.
Any way this toolset is still in beta stage and needs much more time and corrections to be perfected.
Let's see what will come around in near future.

Thanks guys. I decided to delay the release of beta toolset in order to fine tune it a little bit more. But don't worry, I'll share my progress results with you. Stay tuned for better results and more screenshots.
