Hello RE modding community,
I have been an avid fan of this community's amazing work over the years with its ingenious modders. I was very excited at the HD reintroduction of RE4 but soon realized that the current modding feasibility for this game has become slightly more complicated. I was just hoping to request/find out if there is anyway to replace Leon's animations with female animations. Currently I have been trying to replace the FCV, SEQ, bin files in the plXX.udas and wep.udas files for Leon with Adas with unfortunate results. Idle animations and run animations seem to be working, but this also changes my controls making left turn and right turn move the character forward or backwards. I also can't seem to get the hands to become like ada's in-game or in the inventory screen. I was hoping to get an expert modder's opinion on what I need to do to figure this out because I am clearly doing something that's going over my head. I noticed there has already been a mod to replace Wesker with Claire in the mercenaries missions with female animations from the impressive modder 3getu841 so I was hoping I would be able to get some help doing the same with adding female animations to Leon in story mode.
Sorry if this question has been posted or answered already I didn't see it posted in this section, and thank you for taking the time to read this.

Hi and yes, you are right, RE4 UHD modding is much harder because of fragmented and repetitive files organization. Animations: Don't replace all the FCV files at once, because their order may be different for Ada and Leon. If you say that left and right turn make the character move forward it means that you've replaced turn animation with the walking one. My advice is to look through this list z6.invisionfree.com/Resident_Evil_4_PC/index.php?showtopic=796 it's for the old 2007 version of the game, but it can still be useful at finding the particular .fcv files. Hands: Replacing hands is a real nightmare in UHD. You will need to check 4 places to completely replace the hands: 1) Unarmed hands + left hands. These hands are stored right in plXX.udas files. If we talking about pl00 Leon then it's the bin files starting with pl00_014.bin and eding with pl00_021.bin. These are mostly left hands for each weapon possible, but there is some few right hands as well. 2) Right hands that hold the weapon are stored in wepXX.udas files. If we talking about leon's hand that is holding his handgun then it's wep02_06.bin. So you need to put ada's right hands in all the wepXX.udas files that have Leon's right hands. 3) Inventory hands. No freaking idea why it was needed to store them separately but they can be found in "BIO4\SS\cmn\" folder, they are in ss_wepXX.dat files. .dat extracting\repacking process is the same as .udas. Also, wepXX.udas corresponds to ss_wepXX.dat, which is convenient. (By the way, you can find the inventory idle animation inside of these ss_wep files as well.) 4) (Optional) Cutscenes hands. This is one single model of fully rigged hands that is situated in Evd files (In EACH cutscene evd file!!! which is god damn strange). If we are talking about Leon then it is "YOUR_UNPACKED_EVD_FILE_FOLDER\event\model\ev0000\ev0003.bin". In Ada's case it's "YOUR_UNPACKED_EVD_FILE_FOLDER\em\pl02\pl020a.bin", but the body is there too along with the rigged hands.

Thanks again LegalSoul for the information from the old forums. I did have another question though, looking at the old forum post I don't see a heading for ADA's FCV files, was wondering if that post contained it somewhere else that I missed or if the numbering for Leon's FCV files corresponds to ADA's?

I can see only ADA TMP wep39.dat in that list. I'm afraid that you will have to locate a lot of FCV manually. Just take one FCV that you know and replace some unknown FCVs with it until you will find it. Trial and error, you know.
