Mercenaries Maze V.1 Released - RE4UHD

Greetings Friends. It is with great pleasure that I bring you yet another custom stage mod for RE4UHD. This time we have a custom playable Mercenaries stage with new enemies, new sounds, new music, and new models.

I will first say that this mod was created with custom tools created by Son of Persia that have not yet been released. I could not have done any of this without his tool set and his deep knowledge of the game. I have worked on this project for over 3 months (starting back in mid July) working no less than 4 hours a day on this (on average I usually spent about 10-12 hours a day) pretty much 5 days a week. LOTS OF WORK! Thanks for answering all my questions friend =)

This mod replaces the room for r400 which is the Village section of Mercs. It has no effect on the Main Game. Instructions are provided in the download files. The ganado Zombie models are for Mercenaries Village section only and will not affect models in Main Game. The other 2 enemy models, Regenerator & Iron Maiden can be used in both Mercs and Main Game. There are several packs of files for you to chose from when downloading this project. I have separated the mod into several separate downloads that include:

New Zombie Model pack: DOWNLOAD

New Cerebus (wolf) model: DOWNLOAD

New Mercenaries background & Menu music: DOWNLOAD

I highly recommend downloading all three packages and installing them as this stage & its music was designed & chosen specifically for killing Zombies in the Halloween type vibe. Dark, Scary, Intense..


A special thanks to Chris & Albert from the RE4 HD project for the amazing textures that appear in this mod. Learn more about their revolutionary RE4UHD restoration project at: www.re4hd.com - Please consider making a donation to their amazing project. Hard drives cost money =)

MODELS
Stage & Enemy Models by Capcom. Enemy models were ported at some point to re4 (2007) by ToCool & the Master Modder Infernal.
Enemy models ported to RE4UHD Mr.Curious who added all separated model parts for the Regenerator & Iron Maidens (that was lots of work but now these models will blow apart...their arms and legs can be blown off)!!!

MUSIC 
credits are in the read me file in the download. 

STAGE DESIGN
Capcom designers get half credit for the central Maze design with the rest of the credit going to Mr.Curious for the stage design, concept, 3d Modelling, and fixing the huge amount of stage model errors leftover from Capcom designers. Much help from Son of Persia figuring out the tools. 

LIGHTING & EFFECTS
Mr.Curious with the ongoing tech support of Albert.

As many of you know, custom stage mods are a very new thing to RE4UHD as the tools needed to make this happen are not public as of yet. I would like to thank Son of Persia with deep love for allowing me to beta-test his new tool set and for taking the time to explain how many of the programs work and for developing such useful tools for modding one of the best video games of all time. Thank you so much my friend. You are an inspiration to us all. Congratulations on your tool set.. they are ground breaking. 

I would also like to thank Albert from the RE4 HD project for our nightly conversations and his gift of time to me. His knowledge of this game runs beyond the deep. He is a true RE4 guru. Thank you so much friend for all that you have shared with me. Keep up teh fantastic work. 

Also thanks to LegalSoul who helped me figure out lots of enemy model stuff, as well as 3getu841 for his constant help with my curiosity.

Thanks also to the best modder alive, Infernal, for paving the way for guys like me. I hope you make it back to modding Re4 (UHD this time though) as I am sure your fans would love to see what you come up with, myself included. You have a gift dude.. 

Special shout out to Crzosk by paving the way for such mastery of modding. Please find your way back !

Also thanks to Seda (i love you brother)!, Markos, David Flores, Gabriel Gantz, Accelisum, and all the other folks at residentevilmodding.boards.net/ who keep me inspired.

Happy Modding
Mr.Curious
