MOD NAME: Model swap tutorial for PC
ORIGINAL AUTHOR: Yoichi
ORIGINAL MOD RELEASE: z6.invisionfree.com/Resident_Evil_4_PC/index.php?showtopic=26709
MOD DESCRIPTION
kostasishere has already made tutorial on how to model swap, big credits go to him for doing so and without him this would not be possible. I had a lot of trouble understanding it as I tend to be perfectionist and I misunderstood one part that led me to game crashes. Here is a little simplified version of his tutorial. It is an example for swapping models of Jill in wetsuit (pl1010.arc) with Pirate Jill (pl1310.arc)>
- Download Arctool from link
- Unpack it to folder you're gonna use for model swapping (I recommend naming it "model swap")
- delete all files except for ARCtool.exe , pc-rev-repack.bat and pc-rev-extract.bat
- In that folder paste files you're gonna swap (for example pl1010.arc and pl1310.arc)
- Drag each one of those .arc file on to pc-rev-extract.bat (it will now create two folders called pl1010 and pl1310)
- right click on folder pl1310 and "open in new window" (this will save you some time)
- now you have two windows open and you can begin
- from the folder pl1010/model/chara/pl/pl1010 copy pl1010.mod and pl1010.mrl to folder pl1310/model/chara/pl/pl1310 and rename them to pl1310.mod and pl1310.mrl, overwriting both files
- copy the entire pl1010 folder from pl1010/model/chara/pl to pl1310/model/chara/pl folder
- once done, inside copied pl1010 folder delete .mod and .mrl files leaving only the .tex files
- copy content of pl1010/model/chara/textures folder (Chara000_DM_HQ.tex and Chara001_DM_HQ.tex) to pl1310/model/chara/textures and overwrite if asked (and it will ask)
- close one unnecessary window and go back to "Model Swap" folder that you (if you) named
- delete pl1310.arc
- open pl1010.arc.txt file, copy it's content and paste it below text in pl1310.arc.txt file saving changes to the other file one done.
- drag folder pl1310 on to pc-rev-repack.bat
- you will get new pl1310.arc file that is model swap ed and is ready to use
Note for DLC characters (Lady HUNK and Rachael Ooze)> The process is same except the location of files you should change. They are all under "dlc" folder, for example "pl11a0\dlc\model\chara\pl". Here you can find .tex and .mod files that should be replaced.
You can also do it for character selection screen in Raid Mode. You'll just have to get files from nativePC/archive/gui/chara_sel folder.
I made this modified tutorial to help new moders fulfill their wishes (that want to do a simple model swap to their hearts desire and don't want to bother or wait other people do it for them). This way we can all contribute modding community.
