Adding Ada missions into Main Story as one gamemode?

I understand if its not possible, I just think its a shame capcom didnt work them in originally, I get they were added in later and lazily, but it would be more interesting if they actually felt part of the story as you progressed instead of just being tacked on at the end

What I was thinking was something like a teleporter room, but strictly for the ada missions. It could work one of 2 ways... Maybe at the end of a chapter it could ask players "Would you like to play Separate Ways" yes/no? and if they choose No it returns them to their previous location (or whatever next chapter they are on). if they choose Yes then it loads the Ada mission matching the current leon mission, and returns the player to the next leon chapter after completing the ada mission. Each of Adas 5-6 missions should be played at a different point within Leons story

The other way it could work is to have a certain location within the map that the player could access/enter and then have a menu pop-up asking if they would like to play Separate Ways. If it were possible and you could get it working easily, it would be cool if the player could select separate ways, the report files, or assignment ada (well assignment ada should only be accessible in chapter 5-1). Also, players should be able to select chapters, but only based on the chapter they are currently on (so you wouldnt be able to play Ada chapter 5 while still on chapter 1 for leon)

It doesnt matter if the kill ratio or shot %s combine or not, but it would be cool if it kept track of that too. Though I could see this being a problem for saving Adas ammo/health etc

Thanks either way, at least for just checking it out

yes that sounds exactly right! its not just about swapping characters and location, but also the inventory. Maybe if there is a way for you to get it working without the inventory swapping, maybe somebody else (like raz0r) could work on the inventory aspect. Would you mind throwing together a quick demo? just to demonstrate swapping stages between leon and separate ways? maybe if raz0r sees some progress in this idea he'd be more willing to complete it for us

it would be cool just to see leon go from the end of chapter 2-2, to separate ways ch1, and back to leon at the start of 2-3... oh and theres no need to rush if youre busy currently, but maybe at some point in the future


hmmm thats too bad according to RE4hd.com he has been helping Cris&albert recently with improving the video quality in Separate Ways, which is what reminded me about this idea. I tried msging albert, but he hasnt responded about this idea yet. I know C&A are not trying to make any major mods outside of the texture reworking, but I really wish they would consider adding this one idea into their project

Well thanks again, maybe somebody else will notice this thread and be up for the challenge  or I'll try to see what Albert has to say, and then maybe I'll eventually get a chance to talk to Raz0r at some point... I'll be patient, he helped me get the quick-inventory mod working in his trainer a few years ago too!



I suppose this idea should be broken into 2 halves:

Part 1 = modding certain stages to have a special marker to swap back and forth between SW/AA and back to the standard story (similar to the teleporter room). One concern with this though, would be loading video cutscenes and/or the report files?

Part 2 = swapping characters w/ inventory, which would probably require a trainer from Raz0r, and it would require 2 options for "Storing/Reloading Weapons" for both Leon and Ada. The only problem is that it would require alt+tabbing back and forth between the game and the trainer but I suppose it would still be faster than using the standard in-game menus, plus it would probably carry over the death, kill count and shot % scores
